Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of a screw crusher may utilize a cantilevered screw with an inverse tapered shaft with flighting for conveying the product up the length of the shaft for compression. The screw may include an end flight configured to provide thrust to the product for further conveyance beyond the end of the screw or additional compaction when utilized with a receiving container. An exemplary embodiment of the screw crusher may utilize a single moving element in relation to a cylindrical tube for compression of the product. Also, an exemplary screw compactor may utilize a fixed replaceable restrictor tube section and an efficient screw design making it more cost effective and efficient to operate than other known compactors. Furthermore, an example of the screw crusher may be fitted with perforated or the preferred "V" Slotted tube to perform liquid removal in addition to the compaction of the material.
Patent CA-2729222-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HILLIAM KENNETH G
IPC: B05B11/00
Filed: 2011-01-20
Abstract: This device uses combination sets of Interchangeable Input, Middle Core, Piston (Spring) and Output Sections (Parts). These Sections provide different operations or functions to dispense /  process natural or processed foods, medications, materials or types of energy forms. These and additional Sub-Parts can be assembled or mounted internally and / or externally. The function of Whole or Sub-Parts can be fixed or movable in position relative to one or more other Section Parts.   Respective sets significantly reduce food / medication wastage and / or contamination. Energy and time for normal, emergency-rescue signaling, sporting and camping situations are also reduced. Operations can be performed by the person, the pets themselves or by their assistants Eg. Feeding, medicating, comforting, temperature controlling and covering. Many of the food utensil Output Sections along with the Custom Food Storage Syringe Handles are also designed to conform to the ability of the recipitant's mouth and limbs to consume the food cleanly and without spilling the food. Babies need time to be able to adapt from nipple feeding to eating by spoons. Types of Nipple Spoons are feed by Syringes which dispense the food. Syringes can also act as a temperature portion controlled food-storage utensil handle.  The focus is not limited to the following: newborns, infants, seniors, disabled or any type of accident or emergency / rescue victims. Output matter forms include semi-solids, solids, liquids and gases. Operations as filing, grinding or crushing determine the size of the particles, portion, volume. Generated energy by friction heat or electrical forms produce different fire or light intensity levels. Some units can provide more than one function while others can also be used either in forward and / or in reverse cooking or emergency situations.  Sets reduce food wastage and spillage when used at stationary locations and significantly more when the person or pets are travelling over various smooth / rough medium at steady or accelerating velocities. Eg mud, gravel, paved on roads / rails; waves, currents by ocean /  rivers waves; calm or turbulent air travel. Interchangeable parts can be more easily transported, cleaned and stored while some sets provide quick sound or light signaling, fire starting or food heating. The piston's shape and travel can be customized for more functions.  Eg camping, rescuing: fishing, fire related, sound or light signaling, cutting, baking, storing.

Title: Selective peak power reduction
Inventor: FULLER ARTHUR THOMAS GERALD
IPC: H03L5/02
Filed: 2009-12-02
Abstract: The present invention provides a technique for reducing the peak power of a combined signal that has a first signal of a first modulation type and a second signal of a second modulation type. Based on the combined signal, peak reduction distortion is determined. The peak reduction distortion is configured such that, if applied to the entirety of the combined signal, excessive peaks throughout the combined signal would be reduced. However, instead of applying the entirety of the peak reduction distortion, a selected portion of the peak reduction distortion is applied to a corresponding portion of the combined signal to reduce the peak power of the combined signal.

Abstract: In one of its aspects, the present invention provides a composition comprising: (i) a non-encapsulated iron salt, and (ii) a carrier comprising digestible edible oil that is a liquid at 20°C. This composition advantageously provides iron in a form that is easily administered to an infant or adult. When taken directly by mouth or added to food or infant formula, the composition has a desirably bland flavor and is easy to consume. Moreover, the high density of iron per unit volume of the composition results in a minimal volume of liquid to be administered. This makes the composition relatively innocuous and easy for infants to consume. Related aspects of the present invention are also described - e.g., uses, articles of manufacture and the like.

Abstract: Nucleotide sequences mediating male fertility in plants are described, with DNA  molecule and amino acid sequences set forth. Promoter sequences and their essential regions are also identified. The nucleotide sequences are useful in mediating male fertility in plants. In one such method, the homozygous recessive condition of male sterility causing alleles is maintained after crossing with a second plant, where the second plant contains a restoring transgene construct having a nucleotide sequence which reverses the homozygous condition. The restoring sequence is linked with a hemizygous sequence encoding a product inhibiting formation or function of male gametes.  The maintainer plant produces only viable male gametes which do not contain the restoring transgene construct. Increase of the maintainer plant is also provided by self-fertilization, and selection for seed or plants which contain the construct.
