Title: Dishwasher rack channel cap
Inventor: ULRICH DAVID J
IPC: A47B88/16
Filed: 1991-07-11
Granted: 1994-05-03
Abstract: A front opening household dishwasher has an upper rack having wheels  that  roll  inside  a  C-shaped  support channel, which in turn is mounted on support rollers attached to the inside of the tub.  Each end of the channel is closed off by end caps to prevent the rack wheels from escaping from` the channel, and to limit sliding movement of the channel with respect to the support rollers.   Each end cap is a unitary structure having a body portion abutting the end of the channel and extending above and below the upper and lower edges of the channel.  An arm portion is integral with the body portion and is connected thereto by a hinge portion at one side,  and the arm extends through a pair of aligned openings at the upper and lower walls of the channel to engage a flexible detent hook on the other side of  the channel to allow the end cap to be easily assembled and disassembled from the channel.

Title: Deflection-compensated doctor blade beam
Inventor: ESKELINEN JUHANI
IPC: D21G3/00
Filed: 1991-12-10
Granted: 2002-02-05
Abstract: The present invention concerns a deflection-compensated doctor blade beam of a coater used for coating web materials. The doctor blade beam comprises a box-section frame (3), together with a holder 2) of the doctor blade, and a support tube (4) placed to the interior of the frame (3). The support tube (4) is backed against the frame (3) by means of three asymmetrically placed compensating elements (5), which advantageously are pressurized hoses. The deflection of the doctor blade beam is compensated for by varying the volume of the compensating elements (5) through pressure alterations in the elements.      A displacement of desired direction can be achieved by means of three compensating elements (5) in the plane of the blade beam's cross section. By virtue of the achieved displacement, the deflection of the doctor blade can be compensated to full straightness. The compensating system is controlled with the help of a feedback loop using data from a direct measurement of beam deflection, or alternatively, from the coat thickness profile. The straightness of the beam can be controlled on the basis of measurement data either automatically or manually.

Title: Ahas inhibiting herbicide resistant wheat and method for selection thereof
Inventor: SMITH WENDY A
IPC: A01H5/10
Filed: 1992-04-06
Granted: 2007-03-20
Abstract: This invention is directed to a screening method for the selection of mutations which confer acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) inhibiting herbicide resistance to wheat. After mutagenesis of wheat seeds, the seeds are soaked in an AHAS inhibiting herbicide containing solution containing a particular class of AHAS inhibiting herbicide. After planting, the soil containing the seeds is sprayed with an AHAS inhibiting herbicide of the same class as that used in the seed soak step prior to the emergence of the seedlings from the soil. Those wheat seedlings which emerge and are normal in appearance demonstrate resistance to the class of AHAS inhibiting herbicides used in the seed soak and spraying steps. This invention is also directed to the wheat selections and seeds identified by the screening method.

Title: Stock solution of sucralfate suspended in water and production thereof
Inventor: OCHI KIYOSHIGE
IPC: A61K9/00
Filed: 1991-08-22
Granted: 2002-01-15
Abstract: This specification discloses a production process for an sucralfate aqueous suspension stock, the process being characterized by direct dispersement of an sucralfate aqueous stock for sucralfate preparations, which contains sucralfate particles with an average particle size of no more than 50 µm in a concentration of 1 - 2 g/m~, in water or outer aqueous medium without drying the synthesized sucralfate wet powder, followed by milling of the sucralfate particles to an average particle size of no more than 50 µm.      When the sucralfate aqueous suspension stock obtained directly from wet powder in accordance with this method is compared to the conventional suspension obtained from dry powder, equivalency of both stocks are obtained in terms of both properties and pharmacological activities. In comparison to the conventional process using dry powder, this wet milling method of production is economically and operationally superior and environmental pollution arising from the conventional process can be prevented.

Inventor: LUSCOMBE BRIAN H
IPC: A61B17/10
Filed: 1994-01-24
Granted: 2006-04-11
Abstract: A method of tissue compression is disclosed herein where the device to cause such compression is composed of a fastener bar and receiver. The device has the capability to self-adjust to tissues of varying thicknesses to cause hemostasis. This tissue gap variability allows for compression of regions of tissue where thick and thin tissue are both present. This variability also enables the same device to be used on a wide variety of tissues of different thicknesses. The tissue fastener bar of this invention contains a series of cut-out portions which distribute the compressive forces along the device in an alternating, staggered manner. The receiver is of a generally U-shaped configuration with the fastener bar being contained at least partially within the U-shape. Compression occurs between the side walls of the receiver and the fastener bar and variability in gap is accomplished by flexure of the side walls of the receiver.  Varying side wall flexure is enhanced by cut-out portions in the receiver which allow each segment to flex somewhat independently. A number of options also exist for configuration of the fastener bar and/or receiver with the same basic method of compression being unchanged.

Abstract: In a digital imaging system including an array of imaging devices that image a substrate in a lateral series of adjacent longitudinal swaths, methods and apparatus for correcting device offset and hiding between regions imaged by adjacent devices.  Along the direction of imaging (i.e., the dimension along which the imaging device(s) and the substrate move relative to one another during an imaging pass), adjustments take the form of compensating increases or decreases to the normal intervals between discharges to adjacent image points. Transverse to the direction of imaging, the invention compensates for imprecise device orientation and "seam" artifacts by, first, commencing imaging with the device having the greatest offset from proper orientation, and second, as a fine adjustment, repeating at least one imaging swath to produce intentional transverse overlap between adjacent swaths.
