Abstract: A method and system for enabling user interaction with com-puter software running in a computer system. The user is provided with an interface surface containing information relating to the computer software and including coded data indicative of at least one interactive element relating to the computer software. A sensing device in the form of an optically sensing stylus contains identifying data indicative of an identity of the user. When the user writes with the stylus, or uses it as a pointer, an operative end of the stylus is brought into contact with the interface surface. The sensing device senses indicating data indicative of the at least one interactive element using at least some of the coded data. The computer system receives the identifying data and the indicating data from the sensing device. The interactive element is identified in the computer system using the indicating data, and user data is identified using the identifying data. The computer software is operated at least partly in reliance on the user data, and in accordance with instructions associated with the at least one interactive element.

Abstract: A device for folding a balloon of a balloon catheter during balloon deflation includes a band and a plurality of elongated fingers that are attached to the band. The band is formed with a tab and a notch and the length of the band corresponds to the diameter of the catheter tube. The band is folded into an annulus to interlock the tab with the notch. The annulus is attached to the catheter tube of the balloon catheter with the fingers extending over the balloon in a substantially same axial direction. In operation, the fingers are moveable between an unstressed configuration, when the balloon is deflated, and a stressed configuration, when the balloon is inflated. In a stressed configuration, the fingers urge against the balloon and are biased toward the stressed configuration to return to an unstressed configuration.

Abstract: A water-wiping blade (11) for wiping water from surfaces (61) having projecting regions (63) from the surface is based on a flexible panel (13) having an upper and a lower long edge, with a handle interface (18) along the upper long edge, and a lip (21) formed along the lower long edge, the lip (21) ending in a sharp line at the end away from the flexible panel (13). By rotating the flexible panel (13) around the handle length and urging the panel into a surface, the lip (21) can be caused to wrap around regions (63) projecting from the surface (61) with the sharp line in contact with the surface. Translating the panel (13) then is effective in wiping standing water from the surface even in the presence of such surface deformities, such as rivet heads.  In some embodiments a lip (21) is provided to both sides of the flexible panel (13).

Title: Multi-section header with flexible crop cutting knife
Inventor: TALBOT FRANCOIS R
IPC: A01D57/20
Filed: 2002-05-29
Granted: 2005-01-11
Abstract: A crop harvesting header for mounting on a propulsion vehicle such as a swather tractor or combine harvester includes a main frame structure supporting a crop receiving table with a cutter bar across a front of the table and side drapers on the table for moving the cut crop toward a discharge location of the header. The frame is divided into a central frame portion and two separate wing frame portions each arranged for pivotal movement relative to the central portion about a pivot axis extending in a plane parallel to the forward direction and intersecting the cutter bar so that, as the wing frame portions pivot, the cutter bar flexes in the area adjacent the respective pivot axis over a small angle of the order of 4 degrees to maintain the cutter bar following the ground. The central frame portion is mounted on two spring arms for upward and twisting floating movement such that the total downward force on the ground, from that part of the weight of all of the portions of the header which is unsupported, can be varied by moving the support to change the total pressure of the header on the ground. The wing frame portions are connected to the central frame portion by interconnecting linkages which transfer weight from the wing frame portions to the springs of the central portion each including a respective balance beam arranged to balance the lifting force from the spring with the downward forces from the center portion and wing frame portion such that the downward force on a skid plate of each portion on the ground varies automatically as the total downward force is varied. A bottom stop is arranged with a balance system which holds the cutter bar straight when the header is raised.

Title: Surface aeration impellers
Inventor: MCWHIRTER JOHN R
IPC: B01F27/906
Filed: 2002-09-16
Granted: 2010-06-01
Abstract: A surface aeration impeller for use in a liquid filled tank. The impeller is rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the static liquid surface. The impeller has a plurality of blades mounted on the underside of a disc or disc-like surface. Each blade has a multi-faceted or curved geometry ranging from vertical at the point of attachment to the disc to partially inclined at the bottom. The blades are spaced circumferentially about the axis and are disposed at acute angles to radial lines from the axis of rotation of the impeller. The lower portions of the blades, which are inclined but non-vertical, are positioned at or below the static liquid surface. When the impeller is rotated, the lower portion pumps the liquid up onto the vertical portion of the blades where the liquid is discharged into a spray umbrella in a direction upwardly and outwardly away from the impeller. The design of the invention produces substantially higher oxygen transfer efficiency and overall liquid pumping rates than prior art designs and is particularly useful in the aeration of sewage and other wastewater.
