Abstract: An automatic countertop toaster and its control that divides the toasting cycle into three thermodynamic phases related to a change in the physical characteristics of the toaster and the item being toasted. The time of each of the three phases is adjusted according to the user inputs and current conditions to obtain the proper toasting time. The invention disclosed uses a microcomputer to interface with the user and control the toaster. The measured or estimated time since the last toasting cycle and the temperature inside the toaster are used by the microcomputer in table lookups to set the times for the three thermodynamic phases of the toasting cycle. Two of the phases are further modified by the toasting mode (normal, frozen, bagel, frozen bagel, reheat) and the toast darkness setting selected by the user. The sum of the three phases after modification is the total toasting time.

Abstract: La présente invention décrit un dispositif portable et autonome pour l'application topique de l'oxygène afin de guérir les plaies de la peau. Le dispositif comporte un pansement (66) incorporant un dispositif électrochimique, chimique ou thermique qui génère de l'oxygène de grande pureté (10, 14, 18). Le dispositif peut réguler l'alimentation en oxygène d'une zone au-dessus de la plaie àdes concentrations, pressions et dosages variés. Le dispositif est alimenté par une source de courant intégrée ou extérieure. L'air ambiant est mis en contact avec la cathode perméable aux gas. L'oxygène présent dans l'air est réduit à la cathode en ions négatifs (c'est-à-dire en ions peroxyde, super-oxyde ou hydroxyle) et/ou en leurs variétés neutres avec et sans protons. Une ou plusieurs de ces variétés se diffusent à travers un électrolyte et sont donc oxydées à l'anode perméable aux gaz afin de produire un grande concentration d'oxygène directement au-dessus de la plaie. La même zone peut être également appauvrie en oxygène par inversion des polarités de la source d'alimentation (50), ce qui permet de moduler l'alimentation en oxygène de la plaie et donc de contrôler la vitesse de la guérison.

Abstract: A forage compactor for compressing forage or crop into bales of increased crop density for transportation. A crop feed area feeds crop to a conveyor where it is moved to a scale area for proper bale weight. An indexer severs the crop while moving it from the scale area to the compression chamber. The crop is compressed and moved to a strapping chamber where straps are applied to the compressed crop. The bound bale is manipulated as desired at the product handling area downstream from the strapping chamber. The crop is provided with substantially constant stress during compression and moisture sensors in the strapping chamber sense the moisture content of the severed crop within the bale to be bound. The weight of the crop within the compression area may be reduced to reduce machine overloading. Keyway plungers provide reduced side loading on the main ram used for crop compression. The feed inlet area is located on the same side of the compression chamber as the exit chamber to allow for more efficient operation and area utilisation.

Abstract: A remote unit (10) has the ability to switch (13) automatically from a public network to a non-public network comprising private and residential base stations. In the preferred embodiment, the public network is characterized by cells with each cell having a unique identification signal. Initially, a first switchover from a public network to a non-public network requires the user to manually cause the switchover. The remote unit stores (31) the first identification signal transmitted by the base station from which the remote unit traversed into the region covered by the non-public base station. In addition, the remote unit stores (31) the identification signal associated with a cell of the public network previous to the current cell if the switchover occurred less than two (2) minutes from the exit of the previous cell. In this manner, the remote unit can adaptively learn as it traverses other possible paths from other cells into the region covered by the non-public base station.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a filter cartridge that provides for a secure dust tight seal and is easily inserted and removed from a filtration unit. The filter cartridge comprises a cartridge unit having a filter element, a bottom cap and a top boot and a sealing sleeve for insertion into the interior of the top boot. The top boot has an outside diameter which is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the opening in a tube sheet into which the filter cartridge is to be inserted so that the cartridge may be easily inserted into and removed from the opening in a tube sheet. The top boot is also provided with a sealing ridge, which is located in the inside of the boot at the sealing point. The inside diameter of the sealing ridge is smaller than the cartridge boot and the sealing sleeve. When the sealing sleeve is inserted into the cartridge boot, the sealing sleeve contacts the sealing ridge and causes an increase in diameter of the sealing ridge. This in turns causes the sidewall of the cartridge boot to balloon outwardly to contact the side of the opening in a tube sheet and form a dust tight seal around the opening in the tube sheet into which the filter cartridge is inserted. To remove the cartridge from the unit the sealing sleeve is removed from the cartridge and than the cartridge is easily lifted out of the unit.
