Title: Auger fingers for harvesting assemblies, and combines used therewith
Inventor: TINGLE KYLE JOHN
IPC: A01D61/00
Filed: 2002-07-22
Abstract: Intake fingers and finger assemblies for use with intake portions of harvesting assemblies, on harvesting machines such as combines, haybines, bailers, corn pickers, and the like. The fingers and finger assemblies cooperate with crop-gathering augers, and crankshafts inside the augers, in feeding cut crop material toward discharge portions of such harvesting assemblies. The fingers extend and retract through apertures in the auger cylinder according to an eccentric mounting of the finger crankshaft inside the auger cylinder. A respective finger comprises a reinforced polyester or polyurethane shaft, and a polyurethane sleeve overlying a crop-engaging end portion of the finger, such as along 50% to 80% of the length of the shaft. In preferred embodiments, the shaft is reinforced with fiberglass or other fiber, the composition of the sleeve comprises polyester-based thermoplastic polyurethane, and the sleeve has a hardness of about Shore D-45 to about Shore D-70.

Title: Methods for pulmonary delivery of interleukin-2
Inventor: CHEN BAO-LU
IPC: A61K47/18
Filed: 2000-12-27
Abstract: Methods for administering interleukin-2 (IL-2) or variants thereof via pulmonary inhalation are provided. The methods comprise preparing a pharmaceutical composition comprising IL-2 or variants thereof for subsequent delivery as an aqueous or nonaqueous solution or suspension or a dry powder form.

When used in the delivery methods of the invention, these highly absorbable compositions result in enhanced bioavailability of IL-2.
Patent CA-2400792-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOEBLITZ THOMAS
IPC: A21D13/00
Filed: 2001-02-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing biodegradable, recessed moulded receptacle bodies (18) by baking an especially cellulose fibre-based  baking material. According to this method, the baking material is simultaneously baked into several moulded receptacle bodies (18) between an upper and a lower baking mould in one baking operation. The baking material is baked into a flat body (12) between the two baking moulds, this flat body containing the moulded receptacle bodies (18) integrally and having a continuous closed surface. The moulded receptacle bodies (18) are then separated from the flat body (12). The advantages of producing flat bodies (12) of this kind lie in the handling during the removal of the flat bodies (12) from the baking moulds and during the subsequent surface-coating of the  flat bodies (12).

Abstract: The present invention relates to foreign peptide sequences fused to the amino-terminal of plant viral structural proteins and a method of their production.  Fusion proteins are economically synthesized in plants at high levels by biologically contained tobamoviruses. The foreign peptide sequences can be cleaved from the fusion proteins by proteolytic enzymes or chemical reagents.  The foreign peptide sequences of the invention have many uses. Such uses include use as antigens for inducing the production of antibodies having desired binding properties, e.g., protective antibodies, for use as vaccine antigens for the induction of protective immunity, including immunity against parasitic infections, for use as a protein involved in hormonal activity, or for use as a protein involved in immunoregulatory activity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for producing a digitally-computed acknowledgement of a delegated download event are disclosed. An information owner, such as the issuer of a smart card, delegates an information download to a third party. The information is downloaded from the third party to an information device, such as a smart card. The computed acknowledgement is a digital "seal" or signature (depending upon the type of cryptographic algorithm used). The seal or signature is preferably a cryptogram generated by the information device using cryptographic keys resident on the information device itself. This acknowledgement is then made available to the information owner, who may then test the cryptogram to determine whether the third party successfully completed the software download.

Title: Improved adjustable apparatus and method for supporting a concealed spine within a masonry lintel
Inventor: KELLY DAVID L
IPC: E04C3/02
Filed: 2003-04-23
Abstract: A masonry lintel having a concealed spine which spans between piers to either side of an area to be arched and supports masonry bricks through means of horseshoe shaped plates which ride on the spine. The bricks are supported on the spine by stitching rods which extend through apertures in the plates and the bricks. The plates are received in the grouting space between the bricks and, in the finished lintel, are grouted over to be completely hidden from view. Variations in the relative positions of the piers and the width of bricks used to construct the lintel are accommodated by adjustable supports between the spine and the piers which enable the position of the spine relative to the piers to be selectively adjusted. In the embodiments employing multiple generally parallel spines, these supports provide for adjustable spacing of the spines. Center supports for the spines are adjustable both vertically and horizontally to accommodate various structural design parameters.

Title: Procede et systeme de traitement en aval de paquets d'un reseau optique
Inventor: FARMER JAMES O
IPC: H04B10/272
Filed: 2001-10-26
Abstract: Par opposition à la technique antérieure qui permet de contrôler des données à des points d'entrée d'un réseau, un noeud d'émetteur-récepteur peut contrôler ou surveiller en aval des largeurs de bande pour garantir la qualité du service au niveau de portions de sortie d'un réseau optique. Ainsi, le noeud d'émetteur-récepteur peut contrôler en aval le trafic de communication à proximité des bordures externes d'un réseau optique qui sont physiquement proches des abonnés du réseau optique. De cette façon, un fournisseur d'accès Internet peut réguler le volume ou le contenu (ou les deux à la fois) de communications en aval qui sont reçues par des abonnés du réseau optique. En plus de la régulation du volume de communications qui peuvent être reçues par un abonné, le noeud de l'émetteur-récepteur utilise une pluralité de valeurs d'attribution de priorités pour le trafic de communication. Quelques valeurs d'attribution de priorités font partie d'un algorithme de rejet prématuré aléatoire pondéré qui permet à un tampon de sortie de déterminer s'il faut mettre de côté des paquets de données destinés à un abonné spécifique. Dans un mode de réalisation exemplaire, une valeur de priorité de rejet prématuré aléatoire pondéré peut être attribuée selon le type du trafic de communication soutenu par un paquet.
