Abstract: An airbag inflation nozzle assembly for fluidic mating with an inflation valve assembly, including an in-flation valve stem, upon an inflatable cargo airbag compris-es a housing, and an inflation nozzle member, having an inflation nozzle tip, pivotally mounted within the housing between a first position at which the inflation nozzle tip is fluidically disengaged from the inflation valve assembly, and a second position at which the inflation nozzle tip is fluidically engaged with the inflation valve assembly. A transversely oriented ramming button is movably mounted upon the housing between an UNLOCKED position so as to permit the inflation nozzle member to be moved to the first fluidically disengaged position with respect to the valve assembly, and a LOCKED position which forces the inflation nozzle member to be moved to the second fluidically engaged position with respect to the valve assembly. The housing further comprises a pair of oppositely disposed side rails upon which a valve body portion of the valve assembly can be slidably supported as the housing of the inflation nozzle assembly is being op-eratively mated with the valve assembly, and an end wall flange portion for engaging a valve body member of the valve assembly during operative mounting of the housing upon the valve assembly so as to ensure coaxial. alignment of the in-flation nozzle tip with the inflation valve stem.

Abstract: A method of managing and marketing a group of commercial animals, such as cattle, based on a predetermined genetic profile includes the steps of determining, prior to entry of an animal into a feedlot, a genotype of a subject animal with respect to genetic mark-ers for selected ones of at least the traits for growth; quality grade, yield grade, marbling, rib-eye muscle area, dressing percentage and meat tenderness, and feeding the animal utiliz-ing criteria based on the genotype of the animal. The animal is grouped with other animals into a subgroup having either a defined genotype, a similar animal economic value or a com-mon market endpoint, and the subgroup is assigned to a pen. The subgroup is managed, fed, slaughtered and marketed according to the genotypic profile for the subgroup.  The animal is fed each day a ration having a quality determined by using a biological model of potential growth based on the genotypic profile of the animal. Weight and breed data of the animal are gathered at entry into a feedlot, and are used along with the biological model to predict an amount of growth of muscle and fat tissue for each of a plurality of hypothetical rations fed for respective hypothetical periods of time. A net value of the animal is estimated using a bioeconomic model along with at least a cost of feed ration, predicted yield and quality, and corresponding market price. An optimal time to send the subgroup to slaughter is de-termined based on at least the net value estimated using the bioeconomic model. Subgroups having a genotype corresponding to an undesirable genotype are identified and are managed differently.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un milieu de culture solide capable d'absorber au moins 0,05 ml d'eau par minute pendant 10 minutes. Ce milieu s'élabore selon un procédé faisant intervenir une dissolution dans l'eau des différents composants non aqueux du milieu de culture solide, puis une solidification de la solution obtenue, et un séchage du milieu de culture solide pour le déshydrater. En l'occurrence, on pousse la déshydratation au point que le milieu de culture solide ainsi déshydraté devient capable d'absorber au moins 0,05 ml d'eau par minute pendant 10 minutes. En outre, la quantité d'eau de solution est supérieure à la teneur spécifique du milieu d'une proportion égale à environ la quantité d'eau éliminée par déshydratation. Ce milieu de culture solide ne donne lieu à aucun problème de blocage de croissance des microbes malgré l'état de déshydratation, et permet une plus grande quantité d'échantillons en un temps très court, ce qui en fait un milieu particulièrement approprié pour l'évaluation rapide et précise de la numération microbienne des colonies.

Title: Procede pour la concentration d'acide epuise
Inventor: KUISMA PAULI
IPC: C02F1/04
Filed: 2001-12-11
Granted: 2009-10-20
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé servant à la concentration de l'acide épuisé produit lors du lavage de gaz provenant d'un four de fusion ou d'un four de grillage. Les gaz chauds produits sont d'abord lavés par séparation par voie sèche et ensuite par séparation par voie humide, et les gaz ainsi lavés sont acheminés jusqu'à la fabrication d'un produit final à base de soufre. L'acide épuisé formé est dilué et sa teneur en acide sulfurique est accrue grâce à l'utilisation de la capacité thermique des gaz chauds effectifs, qui proviennent de la séparation par voie sèche. Ainsi, en utilisant la capacité thermique des gaz créés dans ce processus, il est possible d'éviter, au moins partiellement, l'utilisation d'évaporateurs.

Title: Procede pour evaluer les signaux de mesure d'un appareil de mesure fonctionnant selon le principe du temps de propagation
Inventor: MUELLER ROLAND
IPC: G01F23/00
Filed: 2002-07-26
Granted: 2011-10-25
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé qui permet notamment l'extrapolation d'une valeur de mesure aux extrémités supérieure et inférieure d'une plage de mesure où, en règle générale, aucune mesure directe n'est possible, par la superposition de signaux parasites, par exemple par réflexion sur une antenne de radar. Si les signaux parasites sont puissants, du fait, par exemple, de la propre résonance du contenant ou de la tubulure où est monté l'appareil de mesure, il est alors possible d'utiliser le signal de niveau direct lorsque son amplitude, par superposition avec un signal parasite, permet de le détecter, alors que, lorsqu'il se trouve entre deux signaux parasites qu'il ne dépasse pas, une valeur de niveau peut être interpolée avec décalage du signal du point de réflexion. Ce procédé s'adapte automatiquement à une situation de mesure donnée, alors que pour certains procédés connus jusqu'alors, l'utilisateur devait choisir entre une mesure par décalage du signal EOL et une mesure par écho de niveau direct.

Abstract: A spacer (30) apparatus for insulating a beam bushing assembly of an axle/suspension system from direct metal-to-metal contact with the vehicle frame hanger on which the assembly is pivotally mounted. In one embodiment, an integrally-formed one-piece apparatus includes a spacer disk portion (31) and collar portions (32, 33), whereby the collars provide a complementary fit of the spacer apparatus on the bushing assembly mounting tube, and generally prevents or minimizes relative movement between the spacer disk and bushing assembly. In other embodiments, one or more load dissipation structures mounted on or forming a part of the beam and/or its bushing assembly prevent substantially non-planar surfaces of the assembly from contacting spacer disk by increasing the bearing area of those surfaces which contact the disk. These apparatus generally eliminate excessive wear or damage to the spacer disk and possible resulting damage to the axle/suspension system.

Abstract: A battery powered ignition and control system for a gas burner includes circuits for controlling a pilot burner, a main burner, a flame sensor and an igniter. Mechanically latched valves, which require power only to switch between and open and closed state are used to control the pilot and main gas. The circuitry spends a majority of time in a powered down state and draws power only when required to interrogate the state of the flame and to perform an ignition sequence as required, as periodically dictated by a watchdog system. The latching valves are electrically pulsed to change state and thus draw very low average power when called upon. Lithium batteries provide system power for a long duration.
Patent CA-2493267-C (CA)

Abstract: A fluid system component is provided that is implemented as a section of metal pipe having a predetermined wall thickness and including a sacrificial element intended to preferentially fail upon the occurrence of certain predefined conditions.    The sacrificial element takes the form of a window of predetermined geometry that covers an opening defined in the wall of the pipe. The window is configured to have a thickness substantially less than the wall thickness of the pipe, but nonetheless sufficiently great that the window remains materially unaffected by normal system operating conditions to which it is exposed. When the window is exposed to a pressure differential of predetermined magnitude, typically much greater than normal system operating pressures, the relatively thin window ruptures and permits the pressurized material, either inside or outside the pipe, to flow through the rupture.
