Title: Saddle clip
Inventor: MCNEIL ALEXANDER MCKECHRAN HAR
IPC: F16L3/10
Filed: 1996-04-01
Abstract: A saddle clip for securing corrugated flexible conduit comprises a saddle (10) and a cover (12) interconnected by a strap (14), the three elements being integrally moulded of nylon. The cover (12) comprises latching teeth (56,58) which engage in openings (48,50) in side arms (20,22) of the saddle to secure the cover. To release the cover, a suitable tool can be inserted through an opening (72), enabling that side of the cover remote from the connecting strap (14) to be lifted. A fulcrum arrangement (74) permits the cover to rock on a saddle base (16) during the releasing action, a hinge (68) in the strap (14) enabling the strap to fold under compression during the pivoting movement of the cover.

Abstract: An ink supply 20 for an ink-jet printer is provided with a main reservoir 24, which is typically maintained at ambient pressure. The main reservoir 24 is coupled to a variable volume chamber 56 via a one-way valve 64 which allows the flow of ink from the reservoir 24 to the chamber 56 and prevents the flow of ink from the chamber 56 to the reservoir 24. The chamber 56 is coupled to a fluid outlet 28 which is normally closed to prevent the flow of ink. However, when the ink supply 20 is installed in a printer, the fluid outlet 28 establishes a fluid connection between the chamber 56 and the printer. The chamber 56 is part of a pump 26 provided with the ink supply 20 that can be actuated to supply ink from the reservoir 24 to the printer. The volume of the chamber 56 can be monitored during actuation of the pump 26 to detect when the quantity of ink within the ink supply is low.

IPC: E01F8/00
Filed: 1996-03-04
Abstract: A noise barrier for use especially outdoors or by roadways. The barrier comprises two main components, namely a relatively light sound-insulating plane and a grating-like part which constitutes the outward appearance of the noise barrier. The sound-insulating plane is a carpet-like part disposed inside the grating-like part and hangs freely therefrom or from another support frame. The grating-like part screens the sound-insulating plane from view, and is designed such that neither accuracy nor an immobile foundation is needed in the mounting of the noise barrier in order to make its outward appearance acceptable. If the grating is made for example spiral and the plane folded or rolled up, the construction can be arranged in a small room for transport and unrolled when it is mounted. The noise barrier can also function as a crash wall.

Abstract: A method and system for the automated detection of lesions such as masses and/or tissue (parenchymal) distortions in medical images such as mammograms. Dense regions and subcutaneous fat regions within a mammogram are segmented. A background correction may be performed within the dense regions. Hough spectrum within ROIs placed in the breast region of a mammogram are calculated and thresholded using the intensity value  eta  in order to increase sensitivity and reduce the number of false-positive detections. Lesions are detected based on the thresholded Hough spectra. The thresholded Hough spectra are also used to differentiate between benign and malignant masses.

Abstract: A portable hand-held concrete, mortar and gypsum mixer comprises a small gasoline powered implement having a drive shaft extending generally downward from the handles to a gear box. A transverse shaft driven by the drive shaft extends to either side of the gear box. Mounted on the transverse shaft are a plurality of blades shaped to thoroughly agitate and mix a combination of water and the ingredients for concrete, mortar, gypsum or similar heavy, hard to mix materials. Surrounding the blades are thin rings attached to the blades to form a round circumferential surface about the blades and thereby prevent the blades from directly contacting the mixing trough or other means of containing the mix. In the alternative, the plurality of blades may be shaped at their peripheries to form substantially continuous circular circumferences. Further improvements to the hand-held mixer comprise a positionable handle to easily control the mixer from the side, a flexible extension extending from the drag bar for more speed control by the user by manually changing the vertical orientation of the mixer handles, and openings through the mixing blades to more thoroughly mix the material by transverse movement of the material through the openings in the blades.
