Inventor: MEREDITH MICHAEL D
IPC: A61L2/04
Filed: 1999-08-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus for pasteurizing comminuted wood. A housing is substantially sealed over the hatch of a ship's cargo hold before it is opened. The hold contains comminuted wood for transport, which are typically contaminated with pathogens that it is desired to destroy. Hot water is provided to combine with the comminuted wood to form a slurry. The slurry is pumped to a pasteurization vessel where it is held for a perdetermined pasteurization temperature and time. Subsequent to the predetermined pasteurization time, the slurry exits the pasteurization vessel and the water is reclaimed from the wood chips. The reclaimed water is preferentially reused to slurry more chips. The method and apparatus preferably include employing an air removal and cleaning system which maintains the environment within the cargo hold at conditions tolerable for a worker to work therein, the air removal and cleaning system purifying the air obtained therefrom before exhausting it into the atmosphere.

Title: Compositions pour la detection de l'activite enzymatique dans des echantillons biologiques et leurs procedes d'utilisations
Inventor: KOMORIYA AKIRA
IPC: C09K11/07
Filed: 2000-09-11
Abstract: La présente invention porte sur de nouveaux réactifs dont la fluorescence augmente en présence de protéases spécifiques. Ces réactifs comprennent un squelette de peptide replié de manière caractéristique et conjugué à deux fluorophores de sorte que les fluorophores soient situés sur les côtés opposés d'un site de clivage. Lorsque le peptide plié est clivé, par la digestion avec une protéase, les fluorophores génèrent un signal fluorescent de haute intensité à une longueur d'onde visible. Du fait de leur haute fluorescence dans les longueurs d'onde visibles, ces indicateurs de protéases sont notamment appropriés pour détecter l'activité des protéases dans des échantillons biologiques, notamment dans des sections de tissu gelées. Cette invention porte également sur des procédés de détection de l'activité des proétases in situ dans des sections de tissu gelées.

Abstract: Disclosed is a fuel cell power supply device which can accurately determine a requested output current of a fuel cell depending on an electric energy requested by a load even if output current/voltage characteristics of the fuel cell change. A power supply management control unit 14 has an I-V characteristics estimating unit 52 for estimating output current/voltage characteristics (I-V characteristics) of a fuel cell by substituting a linear function (V = F(I)) in which a gradient indicator an internal resistance (Rfc) of the fuel cell and an interception of an axis representing a voltage (V) indicates an open circuit voltage (Vfc_o) of the fuel cell calculated by a fuel cell open-circuit voltage calculator 51 for the I-V characteristics. On the basis of the I-V characteristics of the cell estimated by the I-V characteristics  estimating unit 52, a requested output voltage determining unit 53 and a requested output current determining unit 54 determine a requested output voltage (Vfc_REQ) and a requested output current (Ifc_REQ), respectively, which are needed to obtain a target total electric energy (Psys).

Title: Method for scaling fresh fish and removing its internal organs and device for implementation of the offered method
Inventor: PURETZ AVROHOM
IPC: A22C25/08
Filed: 2000-12-17
Abstract: Method and device for scaling fish and removing its internal organs by continuously advancing the fish along a treatment path while simultaneously exposing the fish body to high-pressure water jets (26). During treatment the fish is positioned vertically, with its belly downwards. The forces (14, 46, 48) required for holding and transporting the fish are applied laterally to the upper part of the fish body, which is harder, without however touching the belly area, which is soft and therefore is left free. Descaled fish proceeds to a position for cutting the belly area and removing internal organs. The treatment is carried out in the same device, efficiently and without deterioration of gustatory properties.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for performing a computer graphic character live in a manner homologous to a live puppetry performance.  Character representation information is created and stored (302) using a first computer. Performer movement information is received at the first computer from a manual input device (304) that receives live manual manipulations and converts the manipulations into the performer movement information. Character motion information is created and stored based on combining the performer movement information with the character representation information (306). The character motion information is communicated (308) in real time to a second computer. The second computer converts the character motion information into movements of a computer graphic character, which is displayed substantially synchronized to the live manual manipulations (310). Control objects define elements of the manual input device. Actuators define movable elements of the computer graphic character. Expression objects tie controls to actuators and may be used to develop and store complex character expressions. The system may also drive robotic or electromechanically actuated puppet creatures.

The first tire component is placed on the false drum with the false drum stationary, using a vacuum device to pick up a free end of the first tire component and place it on the false drum. The vacuum in the false drum is turned an to gasp the first tire component, and the vacuum device is turned off to release the first tire component A free end of the second tire component, previously picked up using a pickup device, is placed on the false drum. The step of placing the free end of the second tire component onto the false drum may be performed after the drum has been rotated slightly. The false drum is rotated to measure out the first and second tire components, and they are cut to a desired length. The at least two dissimilar tire components are then transferred to the building drum.

Title: Method and apparatus for identification and classification of correspondents sending electronic messages
Inventor: BEVERIDGE JOHN
IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 2003-03-28
Abstract: The present invention allows recipients to refine their own definition of correspondents without affecting the definition of correspondents for other users of the system. The invention thus ensures the authenticity of messages by properly classifying the correspondent and subsequently ensuring that the content from an arbitrary correspondent has not been forged. Positive recognizers are used to determine the messages are genuine for a given correspondent or category of correspondent. Feedback from the recipient is used to adapt positive recognizers with regard to new recipients or new categories thereof. For wireless communications systems, a threat indicator and a message sorter are added to block massed emailing to the wireless providers customers.
