Patent CA-2412780-A1 (CA)
Title: Baffle for unit hopper
Inventor: HAGEN MATTHEW BRIAN
IPC: A01C7/04
Filed: 2002-11-26
Abstract: A seeding machine having a main seed hopper is in communication with a planting unit by a flexible tube. The planting unit has a horizontal working position and a vertical transport position. The main hopper supplies seed by gravity to the planting unit through the flexible tube. The planting unit comprises a unit hopper and a seed meter. Seed is metered by the seed meter before being discharged to a seed tube and eventually a planting furrow. Seed from the flexible tube passes through the unit hopper to the seed meter. The unit hopper is provided with a baffle.        Seed passing through the unit hopper to the seed meter passes beneath the concave surface of the baffle. As the planting unit is pivoted from its horizontal working position to its vertical transport position seed from the seed meter flows over the top of the baffle and is held in the unit hopper. As the planting unit is pivoted back into its horizontal working seed flows back into the seed meter from the unit hopper before seed starts flowing back into the seed meter through the inlet.

Title: Filter-switched drive operating mode control
Inventor: ASHBAUGH RYAN B
IPC: H02M7/48
Filed: 2001-08-30
Abstract: A controller for a pulse width modulated electrical drive or a dual-mode, pulse width modulated/variable voltage inverter drive is coupled to sensors within a filter at the drive output. Upon detecting failure of the filter or filter components (e.g., a capacitor short or blown fuse) through the sensors, the controller either shuts down the drive or automatically switches the drive operating mode to an output mode which does not require filtering. Damage to the electrical system or downhole equipment from transmission of unfiltered or improperly filtered power may thus be averted upon failure of the filter or a filter component.

Title: Method for tuning voice playback ratio to optimize call quality
Inventor: CHEN EDWARD
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 2002-11-21
Abstract: An apparatus and method for tuning voice playback ratio (pbr) to optimize ca ll quality in a packet voice communications system, while taking into account network conditions. The pbr is the ratio of resampling rate to the original sampling rate. The invention also optimizes jitter buffer length (jb0) for call quality. Between bursts of speech, the preferred embodiment of the invention optimizes call quality by varying the initial jb0 and the pbr to achieve the best R-factor (R). R is an estimate of customer satisfaction wit h the quality of a voice call in real time. During bursts of speech, the value of jb0 is fixed at the beginning of the BOS and the pbr is varied to achieve the best R. The method can be implemented during a burst of speech and betwe en bursts of speech whenever the network conditions change.

Abstract: Dans cette invention, on a étudié le rôle in vivo du domaine de type lectine à terminaison N de la thrombomoduline par recombinaison homologue dans des cellules murines ES de façon à créer des souris mutantes absentes de cette région de la thrombomoduline. Une analyse phénotypique indique que ces souris répondent de manière identique à leurs compagnons de portée de type sauvage après des test de provocation pro-coagulants signifiant que le mécanisme d'action de la protéine C n'est pas modifié par la mutation. Toutefois, après plusieurs stimuli inflammatoires, il s'avère que les souris mutantes présentent une extravasation neutrophile élevée dans plusieurs organes. Dans cette invention, il s'avère que l'adhésion leucocytaire pourrait être abrogée par l'addition du domaine de recombinaison de type lectine signifiant que le domaine a des propriétés anti-inflammatoires directes qui signifient que le domaine de type lectine peut être utilisé pour fabriquer un médicament utile dans le traitement de différents processus inflammatoires.
