Title: Rear mounted attachment with single acting cylinder
Inventor: JONES MATTHEW BRYANT
IPC: A01B63/32
Filed: 2002-04-24
Abstract: A trailing attachment for a deep tillage implement is supported from the implement frame by transversely spaced four-bar linkages extending rearwardly from the frame. Single acting hydraulic cylinders are pressurized to lift and adjust the attachment. A breather plug and a U-shaped hose allow air to be pushed from the rod end as each cylinder extends. To lower the trailing attachment, an SCV is moved to open the base ends of the cylinders to the return line of the hydraulic system, and the weight of the attachment moves the tools into ground engagement. If vertical lifting force exceeds attachment weight during operation, air is pushed out through the breather plug and a vacuum is drawn in the base ends so the attachment can lift to avoid excessive forces, even if the SCV is in neutral and blocking fluid flow into the base ends.

Title: Method and apparatus for decontaminating fluids using ultraviolet radiation
Inventor: LANTIS ROBERT M
IPC: C02F1/32
Filed: 2000-10-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus (20) for decontaminating a fluid (F), particularly water and wastewater, uses pulsed ultra-violet (UV) light (52) in an automatic pump driven configuration that separately and in real time adjusts each UV reactor module for both water flow and UV power (average and peak intensity) to accommodate a wide range of influent conditions, thereby producing the quality of water discharge desired by the operator Process control is configured on the basis of a UV transmission-based feedback control loop and on a truly active and independent adjustment of each reactor module, as opposed to the relative passive and dependent adjustment techniques of the prior art. By matching the condition of the source water to the amount of UV dosage required to produce from it the desired water discharge quality, and then achieving this dosage in real time by the most practical optimum combination of average/peak power and variable pump rate, the method and apparatus represent a new way of achieving automated, high efficiency wastewater decontamination.

Title: Network-based teleconferencing capabilities utilizing data network call set-up requests
Inventor: STONE KEVIN
IPC: H04M3/56
Filed: 2002-08-15
Abstract: A data network-based teleconferencing platform is implemented to allow individuals to set up and control conference calls over the conventional voice network, even individuals without direct access to a teleconference-enabling element (such as a PBX  switch). A network-controlling server (such as a CTI server), in conjunction with a web sever, are located in the data network and used to interface between the individual and a conventional conference element (such as a PBX switch). The web server responds to data commands from the indvidual to set up a conference call, and may use directory listings stored in a data base at the platform to retrieve the necessity call set-up information. The call set-up information is then sent from the web server to the CTI server, which translates this information into telecommunication commands and forwards the commands to the PBX switch, where the PBX switch then sets up the call in its usual fashion. A  scheduling element may be used to facilitate the organization of a conference call, storing information for regularly-scheduled cabs, and the like, and a notification element may be used to alert participants about an up-coming conference call.

Patent CA-2406724-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WORKMAN ERWIN F JR
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2001-04-11
Abstract: Devices and methods for performing assays to determine the presence or quantity of a specific analyte of interest in a fluid sample. In devices according to this invention two separate flow paths are established sequentially in the device with a single user activation step. The first flow path delivers the analyte of interest (if present in the sample) and conjugate soluble binding reagents to the solid phase. If analyte is present, an analyte:conjugate complex is formed and immobilized. The volume of sample delivered by this first path is determined by the absorbent capacity of the solid phase, and not by the amount of sample added to the device, relieving the user from the necessity of measuring the sample. The sample/conjugate mixture is prevented from entering the second flow path because the capillarity and the surface energy of the second flow path prevent it from being wetted by this mixture. The second flow path allows a wash reagent to remove unbound conjugate and sample from the solid phase to the absorbant, and optionally to deliver detection reagents.

Patent CA-2415155-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SERKH ALEXANDER
IPC: F16H7/08
Filed: 2001-07-31
Abstract: The invention comprises a tensioner having a linear motion. A pulley (2) is journaled to a housing (4). A bearing (7) is used to slidingly join the housing and a base. The bearing constrains the housing, and therefore the pulley, to move along a predetermined path. The housing also comprises an arcuate damping surface that interacts with a frictional or damping band (6).  A torsion spring (11) concentrically engages the frictional material band (6), pressing it in to engagement with the arcuate damping surface as the housing moves in response to an impulse or force from the pulley. As a belt load impulse causes the housing to move along the predetermined path, a contact between the damping band and the base causes the spring to further press the frictional damping material against the housing arcuate surface, thereby damping movement of the housing. Further, an axis of the pulley is offset from a centerline of the bearing. As the housing moves, a couple is created between the housing and the base acting through the bearing. The force of the couple create a frictional force between the bearing surfaces, further damping a movement of the housing and thereby a movement of the pulley.
