Inventor: O'BRIEN RICHARD E
IPC: B65G19/16
Filed: 1993-07-06
Abstract: An elongated drawbar tension element is provided for the conveyor chain of an en masse conveyor. The drawbar includes a hollow hub at one end for receiving an enlargement at the other end of an adjacent drawbar element coupled thereto to form a chain.  The side faces of the hollow drawbar hub are formed with tapered dovetail shaped grooves for receiving complementary tapered dovetail shaped tongues formed on the inboard sides of transversely extending conveyor flights.  The tapered tongue and groove connection is self-tightening in normal use and the complementary dovetail configuration thereof prevents lateral separation of the conveyor flights from the drawbar hub.  An adhesive material may be applied to the self-tightening connection to prevent loosening thereof and separation of the flights from the drawbar elements when the conveyor chain is subjected to vibration, irregular loads or is moving in a downward direction.

Abstract: SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR IMPROVED COMPUTER-BASED TRAINING ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention includes a computer based training system (CBT) having one or more Application Translation Units (ATUs 340), a message engine (350), and a script engine (320).  For one or more target application (360) of interest, an ATU is provided for processing events specific to that application, thereby trapping events and translating them into abstract messages or "meta-messages" for conveying information about a particular event to the system.  A general operating system ATU is also provided for trapping general system events.  Translated event messages are processed by event handlers (450). System or application-specific messages which are not of interest are simply allowed to pass through.  The individual handlers dispatch their respective messages to the script engine (320), which includes instructions for directing the activity of the target application(s).  The script engine (320), in turn, acts upon an incoming message.  The dispatched message triggers appropriate action (as specified by instructions within the script).

Abstract: A SENSITIVE AND HIGHLY SPECIFIC QUANTITATIVE FLUOROMETRIC ASSAY          FOR CREATININE IN BIOLOGICAL FLUIDS          ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE    A  new and useful quantitative assay for creatinine has been developed. Creatinine is reacted with 3,5-dinitrobenzoate under alkaline  reaction  conditions to produce a  fluorophore  product which has excitation and emission maxima near 410 nm and 475  nm, respectively.    Alternatively,  3,5-dinitrobenzoyl  chloride  or methyl-3,5-dinitrobenzoate   may  employed  as   reagents.    The chemical  reactions  proceed in the presence of  Group  IA  bases and/or   quaternary  alkyl  ammonium hydroxides  under  aqueous, nonaqueous  and mixed solvent conditions.   Detection limits  for creatinine are well below one micromole per  liter.   Conversely, the reactivity of creatinine and/or base with 3,5-dinitrobenzoate may be  employed to  quantity 3,5-dinitrobenzoate by fluorescence intensity measurements.   The chemical assay is readily adaptable to  reagent  pad and dry-layered coating  technologies  employing fluorescence detection/quantitation.

Filed: 1994-03-30
Abstract: Liquid hydrocarbons are capable of forming solutions of methane which is substantially soluble for example in liquefied petroleum gas creating a potential for the production of liquid fuel solutions of methane and liquefied petroleum for storage, industrial use and vehicular fuel. A binary mixture of hydrocarbons, comprised of methane dissolved in propane or butane is presented which enhance the amount of methane soluble in propane and butane thereby providing a product and methodology for establishing natural gas as an alternative fuel. A binary liquid fuel solution of methane is provided by directly mixing a liquefied petroleum gas into liquefied natural gas thereby cooling the liquefied petroleum gas in order to dissolve an enhanced amount of methane into the liquid by contacting the cooled liquefied petroleum gas/liquefied natural gas liquid blend with dried pipeline natural gas or other sources of natural gas. Storage and reaction vessels are presented which are capable of storing liquefied natural gas and serving as a mixing vessel and shipping vessel for the resulting binary liquid fuel comprised of methane dissolved in liquid hydrocarbons.

Title: Cellular communications with scheduled handoffs
Inventor: MORITZ STEVEN H
IPC: H04W84/06
Filed: 1994-06-07
Abstract: A cellular communications network includes satellites which project cells toward the earth. The satellites and cells move relative to the earth. When a call is being set up to a subscriber unit, data describing the subscriber unit's location are sent to a switching office of the network. The switching office generates a schedule which forecasts when movement of the cells will cause the subscriber unit to cross cell boundaries. During an ongoing call, the subscriber unit determines when scheduled boundary crossings occur. So long as an adequate signal is present in a scheduled cell and network capacity exists in the scheduled cell to handle the call, the call will be handed off to the scheduled cell. The subscriber unit also monitors signal strengths to determine when a traffic channel's signal is getting weak and when an alternate cell's signal is stronger.

Title: Rocking board
Inventor: NACAR ERNESTO M
IPC: A63C17/00
Filed: 1994-07-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to a totally new kind of skateboard, which has a means to propel forward utilizing a rider's motion and transfer of weight, without using the foot to push the board off the ground.    This is accomplished by incorporating a see-saw system on the skateboard where the rider applies his motion and weight to the see-saw board. The small pivot arc produced at the fulcrums  is  expanded  into  a  larger  one  by  a  leverage multiplier. By the use of clutches the arc travel is then converted through a shaft rotation, a combination of sprockets and onto the propelling wheel.    The new skateboard is propelled by rocking the board and is fun use. It is super exercise for the legs. It can transfer a  rider a  short  distance  and  still  can  perform  regular skateboard activities.
