Filed: 2003-07-09
Abstract: A configurable switching fabric port is disclosed having, in a particular configuration. A first interface that employs port interface resources and leaves at least one interface resource dormant and a second interface utilizing the dormant resource. One particular fault non-tolerant architecture, the RapidIO System, is specifically addressed. One implementation of this system incorporates transmission and reception ports configurable as 16 and 8 bit interfaces. In the 8-bit configuration, an 8-bit interface incorporates the least significant 8-bits of signal resources. Further, in the reduced, or 8-bit configuration, the most significant port interface resources of the 16 bit port are surplus.

Title: Cushion stop and method for absorbing bidirectional impact of snow plow blade tripping
Inventor: SCHULTZ LYNN W
IPC: E01H5/06
Filed: 2003-07-10
Abstract: An improved snow plow for use with light and medium duty trucks is disclosed which has an impact--absorbing mechanism which absorbs the shocks of both the tripping of the snow plow blade upon striking an object and the spring-biased return of the snow plow blade to its original position. Impact-absorbing members made of a polymeric material are mounted in pockets contained in the pivot support structure of the snow plow blade support structure, and portions of the snow plow blade frame impact the impact-absorbing members prior to the snow plow blade reaching either a tripped position or a trip return position. The impact-absorbing members are highly resistant to damage even when absorbing large shocks caused by substantial impacts, and are easily replaceable when their lifetime has been expended.

Filed: 2002-07-19
Abstract: A method of segmenting chromatin particles in a nucleus of a cell by locating regional minima in an image, computing a zone of influence (ZOI) around each regional minimum, and segmenting a single chromatin blob within each ZOI using a region growing procedure. The method can be used as the basis of a method of qualitatively characterizing the distribution of nuclear chromatin by computing features for individual chromatin particles. Chromatin features can be synthesized from the features of individual particles and particle features can be synthesized into nucleus features and slide features. The method is useful for detecting malignancy associated changes and changes during neoplasia. The method may also be used more generally to assess chromatin patterns in living cells during the cell life cycle. This makes it possible to measure alternations in the evolving patterns that result from pathological or environmental influences.

Inventor: HAUN MICHAEL J
IPC: C04B33/02
Filed: 2001-11-08
Abstract: The invention provides a method to transform large quantities of waste glass into useful ceramic products by a low-cost manufacturing process. The major steps of the method consist of dry preparation of glass powder, granulation with a non-aqueous organic binder system, dry pressing with adequate green strength, and firing at low temperatures. Water and clay are not required in the processing, which eliminates problems that were encountered in the past.  Only one firing step is needed with a low peak firing temperature of about 750 ~C. The method conserves energy and natural resources compared to clay-based traditional ceramic manufacturing. High-quality impervious ceramic products with only a small amount of porosity can be produced by the invention.

IPC: A01D34/416
Filed: 2002-11-18
Abstract: A cutting head for rotary trimmers in which two relatively short fixed lengths of flexible cutting line (22) are inserted into opposed channels (44) in the head and are secured in place by a pair of spring biased toothed cams (16).  Each of the cams is pivotally mounted on a post (36) within the housing adjacent one of the channels and defines a curvilinear camming surface having a plurality of uniformly spaced teeth (50) thereon that project into the channels at increasing angles of inclination from the outermost tooth to the innermost tooth for engaging the line. A pair of torsion springs (18) bias the cams to pivot on their mounting teeth such that the backsides of the teeth are continually urged toward the openings to the channels thereby allowing line to be inserted inwardly into the head past the toothed cams but retained by the cams against any outwardly directed forces acting on the line. The cams are symmetrically balanced about their axes of rotation so as to be unaffected by centrifugal force acting thereon during use.
