Inventor: SANBORN DALE
IPC: B27C7/00
Filed: 2000-03-30
Abstract: A device for debarking tree trunks 10 in a machine frame 1 has two rows 2 of rollers 3 which are inclined to the direction of advance (arrow 11). A tree trunk 10 is caused to turn around its lengthwise axis by these rotary driven rollers 3 and is advanced in doing so. For debarking purposes there is a shaping roller 20 which is located above the rollers 3 and is supported in a fork 22 which on the one hand can be swivelled about a first axis which is parallel to the direction of advance (arrow 11) and on the other hand can be swivelled about a second axis perpendicular to the direction of advance. This support of the shaping roller 20 allows it to adapt to curves, deformities, etc. of the tree trunk 10. Conversely, smaller irregularities such as branch stubs or root attachments are milled off when the tree trunk 10 is being debarked. Above the shaping roller 20 there can also be a protective sheet 50.  On either side of the shaping roller 20 on the fork 22 which bears it there are adjustable supporting shoes 30 which engage the peripheral surface of the tree trunk 10, and their bottom is overlapped by the cutting teeth of the shaping roller 20 to the extent that the peripheral surface of the tree trunk 10 is to be removed when it is debarked.

Patent CA-2328268-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VERPLANKEN FABRICE JEAN
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2000-12-12
Abstract: A bandwidth conserving queue manager for a FIFO buffer is provided, preferably on an ASIC chip and preferably including separate DRAM storage that maintains a FIFO  queue which can extend beyond the data storage space of the FIFO buffer to provide additional data storage space as needed. FIFO buffers are used on the ASIC chip to store and retrieve multiple queue entries. As long as the total size of the queue does not exceed the storage available in the buffers, no additional data storage is needed. However, when some predetermined amount of the buffer storage space in the FIFO buffers is exceeded, data are written to and read from the additional data storage, and preferably in packets which are of optimum size for maintaining peak performance of the data storage device and which are written to the data storage device in such a way that they are queued in a first-in, first-out (FIFO) sequence of addresses. Preferably, the data are written to and are read from the DRAM in burst mode.

Title: Human neuronal acid-sensitive cationic channels, its cloning and applications
Inventor: DE WEILLE JAN R
IPC: C12N15/12
Filed: 1999-08-05
Abstract: Non-inactivating or slowly inactivating proton-gated cation channels are thought to play an important role in the perception of pain that accompanies tissue acidosis. We have identified a human proton-gated cation channel subunit that has biphasic desensitisationkinetics with both a rapidly inactivating Na+ -selective and a sustained component. The protein shares 84% sequence identity with the proton-gated cation channel rASIC3 (rDRASIC) from rat sensory neurones. The biphasic desnsitisation kinetics and the sequence homology suggest that this clone (hASIC3) is the human orthologue of rASIC3 (rDRASIC). While rASIC3 (rDRASIC) requires very acidic pH (< pH 4.5) for activation of the sustained current, the non-inactivating hASIC3 current starts to be activated when the pH decreases to below pH 6.  hASIC3 is an acid sensor and might play an important role in the detection of lasting pH changes in human. We localized the hASIC3 gene to the human chromosome 7q35, 6.4 cRad telomeric from the microsatellite AFD4A082XC9.
