Title: Process for forming double-strand edged monofilament line for use in line trimmers
Inventor: PROULX RICHARD A
IPC: D01D5/32
Filed: 1998-09-15
Abstract: A process for forming flexible cutting line for use in rotary vegetation trimmers of the type having two or more monofilament lines mounted on a common spool. The line produced by the process of the present invention defines two monofilament strands joined together in a side-by-side relationship by a severable bond. Each strand defines a plurality of circumferentially spaced and outwardly projecting vegetation cutting edges thereon, two of the edges on one of the strands being in parallel contact with two of the edges on the other strand so as to define a pair of parallel readily severable welds bonding the strands together in a side-by-side disposition. The line forming process includes the steps of extruding the strands such that two of the edges on one strand are in proximate dispositon and opposed parallel alignment with two of the edges on the other strand, directing the extruding strands together in edge-to-edge parallel contact along the opposed edges such that an enclosed space is defined between the strands so thatthe heat in the strands can create a positive pressure in the enclosed area to prevent inseparable fusion of the strands. The strands are then directed in edge-to-edge contact into a cooling quench bath, and pulled through the bath to effect crystallization and bonding together of the strands in an adjacent disposition along two readily severable parallel welds defined by the contacting edges.

IPC: H04B3/23
Filed: 1999-11-10
Abstract: Stable adaptive filter and method are disclosed. The invention solves a problem of instability associated with Fast Affine Projection adaptive filters caused by error accumulation in an inversion process of an auto-correlation matrix. The Stable FAP provides updating of the adaptive filter coefficients by solving at least one system of linear equations, whose coefficients are the auto-correlation matrix coefficients, by using one of the descending iterative methods having an inherent stability of operation due to intrinsic feedback adjustment. The results of the solution are used to update the filter coefficients. The above approach is applicable for any value of a normalized step size ranging from zero to unity. It allows either direct determining of an updating part of the filter coefficients without determining an inverse auto-correlation matrix, or determining the inverse auto-correlation matrix by descending iterative methods.

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.

Des couches métalliques (33, 37, 41) conductrices de signaux sont situées adjacentes à ces trois couches minces. Le métal est éliminé par attaque au niveau du coeur des guides d'ondes si bien que l'on obtient des guides d'ondes optiques ordinaires du type à canal qui présentent une différence d'indice de réfraction entre le coeur et la matière de gaine. Des trous sont ménagés par attaque dans les couches polymères pour obtenir des trous d'interconnexion électrique. Des miroirs (55) peuvent être formés par enlèvement de matière au laser pour fournir une connexion entre un guide d'ondes optiques et certains composants (7) et pour fournir des trous d'interconnexion optique, au cas où une autre série similaire de trois couches polymères serait appliquée au-dessus des couches montrées. Par conséquent, des interconnexions électriques et optiques peuvent être intégrées dans la structure multicouche à l'aide d'un nombre minimal de couches polymères et les guides d'ondes optiques peuvent être conçus pour présenter une perte faible.

Title: Apparatus and method for collection and analysis of wireless signal propagation in a wireless system
Inventor: GUTOWSKI STANLEY J
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2000-11-02
Abstract: A data collection and evaluation method for determination of wireless signal propagation from an incomplete set of measured data. The present invention decodes digital identification information on the channel used to associate the measurement with a wireless antenna and/or sector. The decoding process is limited by interference and low signal levels, therefore, the resulting data will have locations or entire areas where digital identification codes cannot be determined and the signal origination antenna cannot be identified. The present invention introduces geostatistical data interpretation techniques to determine the signal level values at the missing measurement locations. The present invention can obtain a more complete set of data for all sectors in the data collection area, allowing for more accurate performance evaluation and greater planning information. The present invention teaches the application of variogram modeling and kriging for wireless signal propagation modeling.

IPC: C12P21/02
Filed: 1999-04-13
Abstract: Arterial and venous endothelial cells are molecularly distinct from the earliest stages of angiogenesis. This distinction is revealed by expression on arterial cells of a transmembrane ligand, called EphrinB2 whose receptor EphB4 is expressed on venous cells. Targeted disruption of the EprhinB2 gene prevents the remodeling of veins from a capillary plexus into properly branched structures. Moreover, it also disrupts the remodeling of arteries, suggesting that reciprocal interactions between pre-specified arterial and venous endothelial cells are necessary for angiogenesis. This distinction can be used to advantage in methods to alter angiogenesis, methods to assess the effect of drugs on artery cells and vein cells, and methods to identify and isolate artery cells nad vein cells, for example.

Abstract: A charged particle beam detection system (10) that includes a Faraday cup detector array (FCDA) for position-sensitive charged particle beam detection is described. The FCDA is combined with an electronic multiplexing unit (MUX) (2) that allows collecting and intgrating the charge deposited in the array, and simultaneously reading out the same. The duty cycle for collecting the ions is greater than 98 %. This multiplexing (2) is achieved by collecting the charge with a large number of small and electronically decoupled Faraday cups.  Because Faraday cups collect the charge independent of their charge state, each cup is both a collector and an integrator. The ability of the Faraday cup to integrate the charge, in combination with the electronic multiplexing unit (2), which reads out and empties the cups quickly compared to the charge integration time, provides the almost perfect duty cycle for this position-sensitive charged particle detector (10). The device (10) measures further absolute ion currents, has a wide dynamic range from 1.7 pA to 1.2 µA with a crosstalk of less than 750:1. The integration of the electronic multiplexing unit (2) with the FCDA further allows reducing the number of feedthroughs that are needed to operate the detector (10).
