Inventor: VERHULST MICHAEL JOSEPH
IPC: A01D43/10
Filed: 2002-06-18
Abstract: A mower-conditioner includes a header or platform which is equipped with a rotary disc cutter bar having a relatively long length with at least tyro cutting units being outboard of a central discharge passage where a pair of conditioner rolls are mounted for receiving the cut crop. Aiding in conveying crop to the discharge passage are right- and left-hand sets of three crop converging drums provided at each side of the discharge passage.  The outer drums of the two sets are respectively mounted to the top of the right- and left-hand end cutting units of the cutter bar while the other two drums on each side are located behind an inward and rearward extending line that is tangent to the cylindrical path traced by the outer and inner ones of the drums on each side of the discharge passage. In one embodiment, a direct drive transmission is provided, and in a second embodiment a hydraulic motor is provided, for driving the inner two converging drums of each set.

Title: Protein/solubility folding assessed by structural complementation
Inventor: THOMAS PHILIP JORDAN
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 2001-02-14
Abstract: Many proteins, when produced recombinantly, suffer from improper processing,  folding and lack normal solubility. Modified proteins, including those indicative of disease states, also can have such defects. The present invention is directed to methods of identifying proper and improper protein folding, aberrant processing and/or insolubility. The method relies on the u se of two components: a specialized fusion protein and structural complementation. The fusion protein contains sequences from the protein of interest and one portion of a marker protein that, by itself, is not active.  A host cell then provides the remainder of the marker protein that serves to "complement" the function of the fused marker protein such that their association restores activity, permitting detection.

Inventor: HOWALD ROBERT L
IPC: H04B10/272
Filed: 2001-02-28
Abstract: A system and method for increasing the performance of a digital return path in a hydrid-fiber-coax television system using baseband serial optical transport, receives an analog composite return path waveform at a comparator input to a digital return transmitter that includes an A/D converter and a first nonlinear processor. A first processing function is applied to signal output from the comparator at the first nonlinear processor and the processed signal is forwarded to the A/D converter which converts the processed signal to generate a quantized output signal of a sequence of digital words whose value represent analog signal samples. The quantized digital signal is output to an output of the digital return transmitter and to a feedback loop including a D/A converter, which converts the quantized digital signal to an analog feedback signal and forwards the analog feedback signal to a second processor.  The second processor applies a second processing function to the analog feedback signal and outputs the processed analog feedback signal to the comparator input of the digital return transmitter. The comparator input to the digital return transmitter adds the processed analog feedback signal to the analog composite return path waveform to create the signal output from the comparator.

Title: Improved calcium enrichment composition and method for producing the same
Inventor: HAGEDORN HERMAN F
IPC: A23L1/304
Filed: 2001-01-22
Abstract: An improved calcium-enriched composition and method of supplementing food products with the composition are provided. Broadly, the compositions include respective sources of phosphate ions, citrate ions, and calcium ions, metal hydroxides, and water, with the molar ratio of citrate ions to phosphate ions in the composition being from about 1.0:1.35 to about 1.0:2.35. The compositions have high solids contents relative to prior art compositions, and at least about 70 % of the theoretically available calcium ions remain dispersed in the compositions at ambient temperatures. The compositions are in the form of a colloidal suspension having very little or no sedimentation.  Finally, the compositions can be mixed with food products (e.g., cow's milk, soy milk) to substantially increase the calcium available in the product without negatively affecting the taste, color, or smell of the product.

Title: Noise attenuating insulated heat shield
Inventor: BOOGEMANS MARK
IPC: F02B77/13
Filed: 2002-12-02
Abstract: An improved heat shield offers both a thermal insulation and reduced noise transmission for vehicular engine components, including exhaust manifolds, for example. The structure has three layers: an outer structural metal layer, a center insulation layer to isolate heat and dampen noise, and an inner metal layer directly adjacent the shielded component for reflecting heat back to the shielded component. As disclosed, the heat shield includes at least one bolt aperture for attachment of the shield to a shielded component, such as an exhaust manifold in the described embodiment. The aperture is circumferentially bordered by at least one non-planar undulation defining a protuberance. The protuberance is spaced circumferentially about the aperture. As the bolted connection of the heat shield to the manifold is a major source of vibration transmittal from the manifold into the shield, the protuberance is effective to dampen the vibration, and hence noise associated with the vibration.

Inventor: DAVID JOHN R
IPC: G09F15/02
Filed: 2000-12-19
Abstract: Methods of forming composite graphic images on a substrate using a plurality of films that are applied and registered with each other under tension are disclosed. The films include registration marks distributed along their lengths and those registration marks can be used to vary the tension under which the films are dispensed during application to a substrate. By detecting the registration marks on a film already applied to a substrate and detecting corresponding registration marks on a film being dispensed and applied to the substrate, registration between the different portions of the composite image on the different films can be maintained over the length of the films and, therefore, the length of the resulting composite image. That registration is controlled by varying tension of the film being applied.

Title: Safety tap for hot water dispenser
Inventor: YUI GEORGE
IPC: F16K31/52
Filed: 2001-11-13
Abstract: A child resistant tap has a valve body (12) with an inlet (22) and an outlet (24) and a valve seat (26) therebetween. An axially slidable valve element (28) engages the valve seat (26) to open and close the valve. A handle or lever (1) is pivotally connected to the valve element (28) outside the valve body. The handle has a fulcrum portion (1-2), so that pivotal movement of the handle (1) operates the valve element (28). A safety lever (6) is pivotally attached to the handle (1) and has a locking arm (6-2) which engages the valve body (12) to prevent the handle from pivoting to open the valve. The safety lever (6) also has an actuator arm (6-1) located adjacent to a transverse lever arm (1-1) of the handle, so that squeezing together of the actuator arm (6-1) and the handle lever arm (1-1) causes the safety lever (6) to pivot out of engagement with the valve body (12) allowing the valve to be opened.
