Title: Competitive table-top game with action-discharge
Inventor: GOLDFARB ADOLPH E
IPC: A63F9/00
Filed: 1997-10-04
Abstract: This invention is a competitive table top type game having a "fenced-in"  playing surface (26) with opposed player ends (28), each with a target (32).  Each player controls one or more strikers (34), and uses it to cause a play piece such as a ball (38) to hit the opponent's target. When a player's target is hit, a discharge such as a liquid spray to be discharged from a nozzle (40) is directed at that player for added play value and enjoyment. For simplicity and economy of construction, that player may actuate a mechanical stop (42) to stop the discharge and reset the target.

Title: Standing stem log harvesting system
Inventor: JARMAN PHILIP S
IPC: B64D1/22
Filed: 1999-08-17
Abstract: A method of standing-stem log harvesting including the steps of preparing a tree for harvesting and then harvesting the same.      A tree is prepared for harvesting by topping the tree, cutting the tree part way through the trunk near ground level with two cuts lying in generally the same plane to leave holding wood between the resulting two generally parallel cut edges, and driving support wedges or the like into both said cuts to stabilize the tree trunk. The holding wood and the wedges maintain the trunk stable and upright until it is harvested, but the holding wood is readily frangible in response to a generally horizontal pivoting force applied to the trunk near the top thereof in a direction generally perpendicular to the cut edges.      For harvesting, the prepared tree is gripped near the top thereof, and a generally horizontal force is applied to the trunk at the point of gripping in a direction generally perpendicular to the cut edges, thereby breaking the holding wood. The severed log is then hoisted and removed to a selected drop site.      Apparatus for practising the standing-stem log harvesting method includes a helicopter and a grapple suspended generally under the center of gravity of the helicopter for gripping and hoisting the tree trunk.

Title: A communications system and method for interconnected networks having a linear topology, especially railways
Inventor: HEFNER MARK
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 1998-03-17
Abstract: A system and method for communicating over networks, particularly generally-linear networks such as a network of railcars in a railway train. The disclosed system and method include the relaying of packets which may contain plural messages down a line of nodes. Acknowledgement of the packets is obtained implicitly by listening to a subsequent relay of the packet and retransmission of the packet is effected on a diverse antenna in the event of non-acknowledgement. Message bandwidth is shared among the nodes of the system by a message priority system and by the reservation of portions of a packet for certain types of messages. Message bandwidth is also shared by the use of groups of nodes as relay participants and by periodically changing the group which is performing the relay operations.

Title: Disposable laparoscopic morcellator
Inventor: SAVAGE GEORGE M
IPC: A61B17/32
Filed: 1998-07-31
Abstract: A morcellator (10) for removing large masses of tissues during laparoscopic procedures includes a rotationally fixed, axially movable inner tube (14) disposed within a rotating cutting member (12). The cutting member (12) is often disposed in the annular space between the inner tube (14), and an outer tube (16). A laparoscopic grasping instrument (42) is inserted through the lumen, and draws the tissue proximally through the morcellator (10). As the cutting member (12) severs tissue, the tissue is drawn into the fixed lumen of the inner tube (14). This prevents the cutting members (12) from twisting the severed tissue, thereby preventing any degradation of the surgeon's control. A novel valve (28) is provided to prevent loss of insufflation gas when no instrument traverses the lumen. The inner tube (14) can be translated distally to protect tissue, and/or other surgical implements against inadvertent contact with the cutting edge of the cutting member (12).

Patent CA-2310149-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TAYLOR BRIAN
IPC: E01F11/00
Filed: 2000-05-30
Abstract: An improved vehicle road sensor is provided for signalling the passage of a vehicle over a predetermined location on a roadway. The vehicle road sensor includes a membrane switch which includes a first member and a second member. The first member includes a non-conductive substrate, a pair of electrically-conductive stripes upon the non-conductive substrate, an electrically non-conductive gap separating the electrically- conductive stripes, and an electrically-conductive lead connected to each electrically-conductive stripe. The second member includes an electrically-conductive strip which is superposed upon the electrically-conductive stripes on the first member. The second member is normally out of electrical contact with the electrically-conductive stripes on the first member. The second member is sufficiently flexible, so that, under a compressive load, it deflects to shunt across the electrically non-conductive gap, thereby to permit electric current to flow from the electrically-conductive stripes to the second member. Various arrangements of separate, but connected sensitive zones may be provided along the length of the sensor. Vehicle wheels of different widths would activate a different number of active sections, thereby approximating tire widths, for detecting the presence of one tire or two tires.

The primary absorbent member (30) is joined to the base member (50) at least at a part of the longitudinal direction of the primary absorbent member (30). Flaps (33) extend laterally outwardly from the longitudinal sides of the base member (50). Each of the flaps (33) has a proximal edge (40) joined with the longitudinal sides (21) of the base member (50), a distal edge (41) spaced laterally outwardly from the proximal edge (40).

IPC: A23L9/10
Filed: 2000-06-22
Abstract: In layered, ready-to-eat pudding products containing adjacent layers of a dark-colored pudding, such as chocolate and a light-colored pudding, such as vanilla, the appearance of color migration from the dark layer into the light layer is eliminated by incorporating of 0.4% or more by weight of a whitening pigment, such as titanium dioxide, in the light-colored pudding. The problem overcome by this invention is of concern when the layered pudding is packaged in clear or translucent plastic cups and particularly when the pudding product is a shelf-stable product.
