Inventor: LENZ DON
IPC: A01D90/08
Filed: 2003-06-09
Abstract: A farm truck or utility wagon for transporting large round bales from the field to the storage or feeding areas. This truck has a rafter like superstructure running from the front to the rear of the truck and centered on the middle longitudinal axis of the truck. This superstructure provides for the inner support of the first level of bales loaded. The outer support for the first level of bales is provided for by folding gates; which are controlled by a trip mechanism made up of support rails, adjustable strapping, pivoted control trip devices, shafts and pillow block bearing mechanisms.  The tripping devices can safely be controlled behind and in front of the load by simply changing the end position of the support rails holding the folding gates. This change in position allows the gates to fall, eliminating the outside support for the bales, which fall using gravity, thereby unloading the entire load at once.  The truck is readied for the next load by simply resetting the side rail trip mechanisms and lifting the folding gates back to the upright position.

Title: Automatic transfer regulator for hose-line respirator
Inventor: FETTERS THOMAS ALLEN
IPC: A61M16/10
Filed: 2003-09-30
Abstract: An automatic transfer regulator for automatically switching between a primary (hose line) breathing air source and a secondary source (escape cylinder). A pressure sensing system detects the line pressure of the primary source using a spring loaded poppet connected to one side of a transfer poppet valve, with the other side connected to the output of a reducer. The pressure sensing system is fed by the primary source through an orifice. When the sensor detects loss of hose line pressure, the system pressure is released to ambient.      This bleeds the pressure from the system side of the transfer poppet valve, allowing the reducer output to force the poppet back, thus actuating the secondary source. A check valve prevents reducer output from escaping through the primary source inlet.

Inventor: KADONO SHINYA
IPC: H04N19/91
Filed: 2002-11-22
Abstract: According to the present invention, an image coding apparatus provides a run - length encoding unit (RLE1) that subjects quantized coefficients which are obtained by quantizing frequency components of an image signal to a variable length coding process by using a run value (Run) that indicates the number o f successive zero coefficients and a level value (Lev) that indicates a value of a non-zero coefficient following the zero coefficients. The run-length encoding unit (RLE1) includes a reordering unit (Lreodr) for reordering leve l values (Lev); a variable length coder (LVLC) for coding reordered level valu es (ROLev) by using a code table that is selected according to the value of a quantization parameter (QP); a reordering unit (Rreodr) for reordering run values (Run) from high frequency component of the quantized coefficients to low frequency component; and a variable length coder (RVLC) for coding reordered run values (RORun) by using a code table that is selected accordin g to the number of already-processed run values. Accordingly, a variable lengt h coding process for quantized coefficients is carried out at a higher coding efficiency, with redundant information included in the coefficients being effectively reduced.

Inventor: LECHNER TIMOTHEUS JOAN MARIE
IPC: A61M19/00
Filed: 2002-06-20
Abstract: The invention describes a device (1) for locating an anatomical cavity (15) inside a body (10). The device comprises a fluid-filled reservoir (30) which is closed off in a sealed manner by a displaceable plunger (32) and is connected to a hollow puncture needle (20). To measure the pressure prevailing in the fluid, the device comprises a pressure gauge (40). A signal converter (50) is used to convert a continuous pressure-measurement signal provided by the pressure gauge (40) into a form which is suitable for further processing.  A synthesizer (60) is designed to process the converted pressure-measurement signal into a continuous sound signal which is representative of the pressure.  If, during a displacement of the puncture needle (20), a needle point (21) reaches the anatomical cavity (15), the result is a readily perceptible change in the sound signal. The device comprises recording means for recording the pressure-measurement signal over the course of time.
