Abstract: A polyurethane resin consists of a reaction product of a phosphated polyol, a polyisocyanate and optionally a stabilising monomer having a salt-forming group, for example, 2,2- dimethyolol propionic acid. The phosphated polyol may be a hydroxyl-terminated, phosphated polyester polyol which is a reaction product of a carboxylic acid, a polyol and a phosphate monomer. The phosphate monomer may be 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid. The invention provides aqueous dispersions of phosphated polyurethane resins which are particularly suitable as metal primers for metals such as galvanised steel. The metal primers have improved adhesion under agressive enviroments.

Abstract: A gutter protector for preventing leaves and other debris from entering into a gutter that fits independently into standard gutter without fasteners such as nails or screws or any attachment to the roof, fascia or any other part of the building. The gutter protector consists of an inner wall which fits against the rear wall of standard gutter while seated upon the bottom wall of the gutter and a curved section that allows water to flow over the flat portion of the gutter protector through a uniform space between the gutter protector and the gutter created by a clip in the gutter protector which attaches to the gutter. The uniform space does not allow leaves or other debris larger than said uniform space to enter the gutter but maintains a space for a constant flow of water into the gutter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a handover method and a method for selecting a base station for connecting a multimode terminal (PP/MS) in a mobile communication system which consists of at least one first base station (BTS) and at least one second base station (FRP) controlled by a MSC, and multimode terminal (PP/MS). The handover method comprises recognizing the poor radio connection between the serving second base station (RFP) and the multimode terminal (PP/MS), selecting one of the first base station (BTS) as the target cell for handover on the basis of the measurements carried out in the multimode terminal (PP/MS), and performing the handover. It is characteristic of the handover method according to the invention that a cell description is transmitted to the multimode terminal (PP/MS) via the second base station (RFP), the cell description including information about the frequency of at least one first base station (BTS), and measuring base station signal in the multimode terminal (PP/MS) at said frequencies, when the ongoing radio connection has been recognized to be poor.

Abstract: The invention has utility generally for monitoring any part for severance of the part. The invention is specifically useful for monitoring severance of a tension blade in a tension blade grid. For general monitoring of a part, the apparatus has wireless connection between the sensing unit and the control unit. The wireless connection is achieved with a transmit/receive unit using radiofrequency power transfer for electrical power and using infrared transmitters and receivers for signal transfer. For food processing, specifically for a vegetable cutting method employing at least one tension blade in a first tension blade grid through which vegetables are passed for cutting the vegetables wherein the at least one tension blade is severed during the cutting, the invention provides for diverting the vegetables to a second tension blade grid. Diversion is accomplished with an acoustic emission sensor acoustically coupled to the at least one tension blade so that during the vegetable cutting, the acoustic emission sensor detects acoustic energy from tension blade severance. The acoustic energy is converted to an electronic signal that is compared in a microprocessor to a threshold. In a severance condition, an actuator receives an alarm signal from the microprocessor and diverts the vegetables to the second tension blade grid.

Abstract: An ultrafiltration device has a ported reservoir body, and a filter membrane sealed to the body along a closed contour surrounding the port(s) to provide a large area filtered outflow path. A frusto-conical end provides hydrostatic deadstopping with little or no wicking, greatly enhancing recovery time and efficiency. Methods of using the device rapidly isolate a predetermined amount of a desired retentate in the distal portion of the tube, and are also useful for quantitative transfer of smaller molecules and for multi-step processing of sample arrays Linear array strips of such chambers may be formed by bonding together mating halves with filter areas over the chamber ports. The vessel may include a rib to guide and orient filter during assembly, and/or a ledge or recess to engage and align the filter, assuring that the filter is precisely positioned and does not wander during manufacture and bonding. The vessels have a high filter area to volume ratio, maintain open filter surfaces and high rates of filtration throughout the spin, and are fully compatible with robotic loading, multistage operation and in situ multiwell plate filtrate and/or retentate assay or transfer. Attachment of the filter may be effected by heat welding. Preferably the vessel and filter are positioned between a press member and a heat sink and a superheated tool contacts the press member to selectively deliver a defined bolus of heat to the weld areas.

Abstract: The present invention is embodied in a data compression encoder for use with the discrete cosine transform compression process. The invention enhances compression using the discrete cosine transform by utilizing a prediction engine that breaks the data received into predicted and unpredicted portions. The predicted portions are excluded from the discrete cosine transform reducing the time-required to compress a file. The prediction engine relies, in part, upon look-up tables that are used to determine the predicted blocks. A table build engine and database compiler are used to create the look-up tables.
