Abstract: A paving block for covering ground,  floor and like surfaces.   The paving block is generally planar with a vertical dimension.  The upper and lower planar surfaces and the vertical sides define a pentagon.  The pentagon has three longer sides and two shorter sides.  Two of the longer sides are equal.  The third longer side is at least as long as the two equal longer sides.  The two equal longer sides are joined at one end at a 90° internal angle.  Each is joined at its opposite end to one of the shorter sides at a 90° internal angle and each shorter side is then joined at a 135° internal angle to the third longer side.  The third longer side opposes the right angle between the two equal longer sides and is bisected by a line bisecting the 90° angle between the two equal longer sides.  The pentagonal paving block may be used to create homogeneous designs or in combination with a square paving block, the external sides of which are equal in length to the adjoining longer sides of the pentagonal block.

Abstract: A method and system for updating a database that stores billing rate parameters for call rating devices associated with a calling station is disclosed.  The calling station calls at a predetermined date and time a rate provider, which includes billing rate parameters for a plurality of calling stations.  The call rating device transmits over the telephone network to the rate provider the phone number of the calling station, and the date and time of the last updated database.  The rate provider verifies that the billing rate parameters of the calling station should be updated, then transmits back over the telephone network to the calling station the updated database.  The rate provider also sends data as to the new date and time for the call rating device to place a call to the rate provider.

Title: Potentiometric evaluation of substrate oxidation and coating porosity
Inventor: TENCH D MORGAN
IPC: G01N27/416
Filed: 1995-07-24
Granted: 2005-07-12
Abstract: A fast, nondestructive, and easy to perform method of Potentiometric Evaluation of Substrate Oxidation ("PESO") is provided. A coated part to be analyzed is placed in contact with an electrolytic solution having a pH adjusted to provide an optimum oxide dissolution rate. The open circuit potential of the part is monitored as the substrate oxide dissolves in the electrolytic solution. The voltage typically changes as a function of time during oxide dissolution. When oxide dissolution is complete, the voltage reaches a steady value associated with active dissolution of the substrate metal and reduction processes on the coating. The electrolytic solution can be flowed or agitated to reduce concentration polarization, provide more meaningful voltage measurements, and minimize the time required for analysis.  The time required to reach a steady-state voltage provides a measure of the amount of substrate oxide within pores in the coating. The final steady-state voltage level provides a measure of the relative areas of the coating and the exposed substrate, which relates to the porosity of the coating. The method is useful for evaluating the quality of coated parts by providing a quantitative measure of both substrate oxidation and coating porosity.

Abstract: A repeater for a multibeam communications satellite combines the features of coaxial channel interbeam switching and suchannelization of some of the channels. In one embodiment described, the input radio-frequency signals from the input beams are fed through the input multiplexers to form channels. Some, but not all, channels are subsequently subchannelized for interbeam switching. In another embodiment of the invention, a portion of the incoming radio frequency signals bypasses the input demultiplexer and is filtered for noise-limiting reasons, converted down to an intermediate frequency and then subchannelized using SAW filters. The specification also teaches that digital techniques can be used to obtain the same results. Especially in the case of satellites with a large number of beams and a large number of channels, it is not necessary to have full interbeam switching of all the subchannels derived from one channel: instead, the specification proposes the use of parallel configurations of smaller, less complex switching networks.

Abstract: A method for reducing interferent bias such as hemoglobin bias in immunoassays using dried slide test elements featuring peroxidase and leuco dye as the labeling mechanism. The method features the steps of: a) calibrating an immunoassay of a target analyte by ascertaining the time at which the rate of change in density produced by a first set of the test elements for the target analyte on at least one liquid having a known amount of interferent of choice and a known amount of target analyte, crosses over or minimizes the difference compared to the rate of change in density produced by a second set of test elements substantially identical to the first set of test elements, on a liquid having the known amount of target analyte but a negligible amount of interferent of choice, and b) conducting an assay of a patient sample of unknown amount of the target analyte by reading the rate of change in density in a third set of the test elements substantially identical to the first and second sets, caused by the sample, at a time corresponding to the cross-over time ascertained in step a).

Les articles absorbants de la présente invention comprennent un panneau central absorbant, une paire de panneaux latéraux s'étendant vers l'extérieur à partir des bords latéraux dudit panneau central et le long de ceux-ci, ainsi qu'un axe de pliure reliant chaque panneau latéral au panneau central absorbant. Ces articles absorbants sont composés d'une feuille supérieure perméable aux liquides, d'une feuille inférieure imperméable aux liquides, reliée à la feuille supérieure, d'une âme absorbante placée entre les feuilles supérieure et inférieure, de volets latéraux s'étendant vers l'extérieur à partir des bords latéraux de l'âme absorbante ainsi que le long de ceux-ci, et de stabilisateurs reliés aux panneaux latéraux, le bord le plus intérieur latéralement du stabilisateur étant placé au niveau du bord latéral de l'âme absorbante, ou latéralement vers l'intérieur à partir de celui-ci. En conséquence, les stabilisateurs augmentent la raideur à la flexion des panneaux latéraux de manière que cette raideur soit supérieure à celle du panneau central absorbant de l'article. La compression latérale des panneaux latéraux est également supérieure à celle du panneau central absorbant afin de permettre à ce dernier de se déformer et de se plier vers le haut pour épouser le corps. Les stabilisateurs sont de préférence reliés à la surface au contact de l'utilisateur de la feuille supérieure afin de constituer une barrière à l'écoulement latéral des liquides le long de la surface supérieure de l'article absorbant.

Abstract: A swing-tongue harvester (10) has a hydraulically controlled pulling tongue (30) that can be operated from the tractor seat to change the lateral position of the machine relative to the towing tractor (36), notwithstanding thepresence of a mechanical drive line (90) which extends along the tongue (30) and branches down to a gearbox (116) carried by the header (50) for driving the operating components of the header (50). Telescoping steering linkage (138) between the swing tongue (30) and the gearbox (116) causes the gearbox (116) to swing responsively with the tongue (30) when the tongue is swung to any of its angular positions, thus keeping the input shaft (114) of thegearbox (116) oriented properly toward the driveline (90) along the tongue (30). The connection points for the steering linkage (38) between the tongue (30) and the gearbox (116) are such that a telescoping section (106) of the drive line (90) bridging the tongue (30) and the input shaft (114) of the gearbox (116) has equal angles maintained at its universal joints (104,110) at opposite ends of the telescoping section (106) to reduce unequal loading at those locations. Specifically configured impeller plates (186) associated with the left and right, endmost rotary cutting units (172) on the cutter bed of the header (50) assist in proper delivery of the cut materials rearwardly into the discharge opening (65) of the header (50).
