Abstract: A plug for a drain and grain-emptying opening for a grain compartment on a harvesting apparatus prevents clogging of the opening. The grain compartment has an auger casting for supporting a vertical unloader auger. The auger casting has openings therethrough that serve as a bottom drain for the grain compartment. The drain system includes a plug having plug bodies sized and shaped to be inserted into the openings to effectively close a bottom of the grain compartment. The openings comprise crescent shapes in horizontal cross-section, and the plug bodies comprise corresponding crescent shapes in horizontal cross-section. The plug bodies can have lengths substantially equal to depths of the openings. The plug of the invention is made from a soft plastic, which molds to the bottom surface of the casting and eliminates the need for a sealable casting cover.

Patent CA-2457614-C (CA)
Inventor: WU SIU-WAI
IPC: H04N19/156
Filed: 2002-08-09
Granted: 2012-06-12
Abstract: The invention relates to an improved system and method for encoding digital images within frames for digital television transmission. Every anchor frame in a first pass encoder is encoded as a P-frame. Groups of macroblocks, such as slices in the P-frame, are alternately encoded as I-slices and P-slices.  This allows both I and P encoding complexity to be computed in a single pass, without having to encode the same frame twice. Accordingly, the I-frame decision can be made at a second pass encoder instead of at the first pass encoder, thus taking advantage of a look-ahead pipeline architecture to more effectively align the I-frames with scene changes.

Abstract: A separator (10, 150 182) provides improvements for better separation of an effluent into constituent parts and greater ease of use. A tapered basket (60) provides improved flow and better filtration. A baffle (64) directs effluent into the basket with greater force. An asymmetrical flange (54) prevents mis- orientation the basket (60) and baffle (64). An improved oil valve (90) provides a locking mechanism to prevent dislodging of the valve during cleaning. An alternative valve uses a sensor to sense an oil/water interface and close the oil valve appropriately. A top seal (142) prevents leakage of effluent at connection points with the lid (15) of the housing (14). An underground unit (150) allows below floor level installation of the separator. A bidirectional unit (182) can be reversed to provide flow in either direction. A dual purpose tank (170) can be used to store both separated oil and oil from operations for common removal.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour le post-traitement de flans d'acier spécial monoblocs qui ont été produits à partir de rondelles ou de découpes emboutissables d'acier spécial par emboutissage, estampage, laminage et façonnage. Selon l'invention, les flans finis sont post-traités immédiatement après leur production dans un tambour garni de particules granulées dures, auquel on imprime un mouvement de rotation. On évite ainsi sur les flans d'acier spécial monoblocs produits des modifications de surface dues à des tensions du matériau se produisant pendant les étapes de production, et on obtient une apparence optimale des flans d'acier spécial.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode destinée à la synthèse directe de molécules d'ADN à double brins de tailles diverses avec une séquence souhaitée quelconque. Ladite molécule d'ADN destinée à la synthèse est coupée logiquement en segments d'ADN plus petits se chevauchant. Un synthétiseur de microréseaux exempt de masque est utilisé pour concevoir un microréseau d'ADN sur un substrat, sur celui-ci chaque élément ou caractéristique du réseau est peuplé par l'ADN d'un des segments d'ADN de chevauchement. Le complément de chaque segment est également élaboré dans le microréseau. Ces segments d'ADN sont libérés du substrat et maintenus dans des conditions favorisant l'hybridation de l'ADN qui permettent l'hybridation des segments pour former des duplexes. Ces duplexes sont ensuite séparés au moyen d'un agent de liaison de l'ADN qui se lie à des hélices d'ADN formées de manière inappropriée, afin d'éliminer des erreurs de la série de molécules d'ADN. Ces segments peuvent alors être hybridés l'un à l'autre pour assembler la séquence d'ADN cible la plus grande.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention reduce the number of false positive touch inputs made by a non-stylus object such as the user's finger or hand. When the stylus is located proximate to the touch-sensitive surface, the sensitivity of the surface to non-stylus input is disabled, reduced, or otherwise modified. For example, non-stylus inputs may be ignored while the stylus is within a proximity zone defined near the touch-sensitive surface. Further aspects of the present invention are directed to adjusting the threshold requirements of a non-stylus input depending upon where on the touch-sensitive surface the input is made. Still further aspects of the present invention are directed to calibrating various sensitivity thresholds for non-stylus input, as well as the size and/or shape of the proximity zone.
