Inventor: GENTZLER CHARLES R
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 1999-10-18
Abstract: An apparatus and method measure the energy in
frequency bands of an amplified signal, the amplified
signal being an amplified version of an RF received input
signal, where the received signal has an allocated
frequency bandwidth and carrier frequency. The carrier
frequency, however, is not known in advance of receipt;
and therefore, the apparatus and method provide structure
and methodology for finding the carrier and then reducing
the out-of-band frequency components of the amplified
signal. The apparatus features a mixer configured as a
four quadrant multiplier biased into a linear operating
region. The mixer receives both the received signal and
the amplified signal, and produces as its output a
baseband signal. Various detection mechanisms can be
used to determine the distortion correction control
signals based upon the energy in portions of the
amplified signal offset from the carrier signal. In a
preferred embodiment, the mixer is a Gilbert Cell mixer
and the received signal is a CDMA signal.

Title: Method and apparatus for flow cytometry
Inventor: MALACHOWSKI GEORGE C
IPC: G01N33/48
Filed: 1999-02-26
Abstract: A flow cytometer (20) capable of utilizing an imaging system including a sensor (88) to determine various properties of the flow cytometer (20). Importantly, the imaging allows for determination of a drop delay time (154). Other characteristics that can be determined include at least the width of the stream, pressure of the stream, effect of charged droplets on other droplets (44), trajectory of the stream, resonant frequency, wavelengths, change in position of droplet break-off point (150), and others. An automatic warning system (180) can be used to alert an operator of an anomaly during setup or during normal operation. Furthermore, a mechanical interrupter can be used to shield a sort result from contamination by an incorrectly functioning stream. The cytometer (20) also allows for the disablement of the sort, particularly the charging and deflection systems. In addition, a more accurate system for detecting the speed of the stream can be used. The imaging system including a sensor (88) can allow for the removal of background noise and the monitoring of a change in a stream characteristic.

Title: Teat cup liner for a milking machine
Inventor: BRIGGS STEPHEN WILLIAM
IPC: A01J5/08

Abstract: The present invention relates to a teat cup liner for milking domestic animals such as cows and goats. The liner (1) comprises: an opening (8) into which an animal's teat (70) may be inserted; an outlet (6) for discharging milk from the animal; a teat engaging portion (10) with annular walls (7, 107) and a collapsible portion having relatively thinner inner walls (13, 113); and sealing means (60, 66) for a teat cup shell (32) between which lies all of the collapsible portion (12) so a vacuum pressure may be applied to a teat cup assembly (30) to milk the animal. The distance from the opening (8) to a point (76) at which the collapsible portion (12) collapses is sufficient so that the collapsible portion (12) collapses substantially completely away from the animal's teat (70). The collapsible portion (12) has an elongate cross section, there being a tapering section (17) between the teat engaging portion (10) and the collapsible portion (12). The tapering portion has outer and inner walls (11, 111) the thickness of which tapers more gradually along a minor cross-sectional axis than along a major cross-sectional axis, so that the tapering section (17) may collapse gently on the teat (70) as the collapsible portion (12) collapses.

Abstract: On décrit une échelle d'évacuation repliable (1) qui comporte des barreaux (5) fabriqués dans un matériau relativement résistant et mince. Ces barreaux présentent des projections de positionnement intégrées (6) permettant de replier l'échelle en toute sécurité, et une section transversale autorisant un empilement très serré et compact de l'échelle. L'échelle d'évacuation se déploie facilement grâce à un coffret (16) équipé de deux jeux d'attaches temporaires. En cas d'urgence, l'échelle d'évacuation se déploie par dégrafage partiel du coffret (16) dans un premier état où un élément de fixation (2) peut être retiré et placé sur un appui de fenêtre. Après vérification que les supports en tissu étroit (4) qui attachent l'élément de fixation aux barreaux ne se sont pas vrillés entre ledit élément de fixation et le barreau de sommet, les autres barreaux (toujours enveloppés dans le coffret et fixés par un deuxième jeu d'attaches temporaires) sont retenus au moyen d'une poignée (17) fixée au coffret. La poignée est ensuite maintenue hors de la fenêtre et lâchée. La vitesse de chute du paquet de barreaux est suffisante pour ouvrir le deuxième jeu d'attaches temporaires et déployer ainsi avec sécurité l'échelle d'évacuation dans une position appropriée. On décrit également une plaque de montage facultative qui peut être utilisée pour stabiliser et fixer l'élément de fixation (2) sur la surface d'un mur au-dessous d'un appui de fenêtre, et pour s'assurer que l'élément de fixation (2) sera solidement maintenu sur n'importe quel appui de fenêtre, quelle que soit l'épaisseur du mur.
