Title: Engineered environmental structure and method of its use
Inventor: DOOLEY JAMES H
IPC: E02B3/02
Filed: 2002-01-04
Abstract: An engineered log jam for controlling stream flow characteristics is formed from multiple layers of logs. A first layer intended to be placed parallel to stream flow consists of two or more generally parallel logs. In normal use these would be anchored to the stream bottom. A second layer of logs is placed on top of the first. This also consists of a plurality of spaced apart logs crossing the first layer. The second layer logs are angled with respect to each other to control and direct water flow passing over and through the structure. A third layer of spaced apart logs crosses the second layer logs and further acts to direct water flow. Additional layers may be used as might be dictated by the use environment. The logs are permanently joined to each other at the points of crossing.

Title: Rotary film clamp assembly for film wrapping or packaging machines, and method of operating the same
Inventor: FORREST STEPHEN
IPC: B65B11/04
Filed: 2002-12-18
Abstract: A film clamping mechanism for use in connection with film wrapping apparatus comprises a pair of film clamp-ing fingers or members which are movable between first and second CLOSED and OPENED states for respectively clamping and releasing a leading end portion of a wrapping film, and between first and second RAISED and LOWERED states for re-spectively clamping the leading end portion of the wrapping film at the commencement of the film wrapping operation and for maintaining the leading end portion of the wrapping film during the film wrapping operation. In this manner, since the clamping fingers are disposed at their LOWERED state during the film wrapping operation, such clamping fingers or members do not pose any interference with the carriage as-sembly upon which the supply of wrapping film is disposed whereby the carriage assembly can be disposed at its lower-most position in order to securely wrap loads having rela-tively small height dimensions as well as to shorten the film wrapping operation as well as to reduce the amount of wrapping film required for a particular film wrapping opera-tion.
