Title: Bird deterring device for protection of a body of water
Inventor: KASTNER DARRYL
IPC: A01M29/06
Filed: 1997-11-14
Abstract: A bird deterring device for protection of a reservoir or other body of water is disclosed. The deterring device provides an array of wires stretched across the reservoir, wherein adjacent wires are oriented in a parallel manner and are spaced apart by approximately 12 feet. Each wire is supported at a first end by an anchor rod driven into the ground of the shoreline defining the reservoir or body of water. Each wire is supported at a second end by an adjustment rod carrying a wire tightening mechanism which allows the wire to be tightened until taut. The wires reduce or eliminate use of the body of water by water birds by providing both visual and auditory deterrents. Wind, moving about the wires, creates a high-pitched whine that tends to annoy and repel birds. Additionally, birds tend to reject making a water landing due to the location of the wires, preferring instead to divert to other bodies of water.

Title: Semiconductor unit package, semiconductor unit packaging method, and encapsulant for use in semiconductor unit packaging
Inventor: BESSHO YOSHIHIRO
IPC: H01L21/60
Filed: 1996-06-12
Abstract: An improved semiconductor unit package is disclosed. This package is implemented by a semiconductor device (1) having an electrode pad (2), a substrate (6) having a terminal electrode (5), a bump electrode (3) formed on the electrode pad (2), a conductive adhesion layer (4) with flexibility, and an encapsulating layer (7) formed by curing a composition the viscosity and thixotropy index of which are below 100 Pa.s and below 1.1, respectively. Such a composition essentially consists of (A) a resin binder that contains, for example, a polyepoxide, an acid anhydride, and a rheology modifier and (B) a filler. The rheology modifier is one capable of impeding interaction between a free acid contained in the acid anhydride and a polar group at the surface of the filler. An encapsulant with improved flowability is used, so that the encapsulant readily flows and spreads to fill a gap between the semiconductor device (1) and the substrate (6) with no air bubbles. This achieves semiconductor unit packages with high reliability and productivity.

IPC: H04N13/239
Filed: 1996-06-24
Abstract: A system for generating three-dimensional (3D) mosaics from a plurality of input images representing an imaged scene. The plurality input images contain at least two images of a single scene, where at least two of the images have overlapping regions. The system combines the images using a parallax-based approach that generates a 3D mosaic comprising an image mosaic representing a panoramic view of the scene and a shape mosaic representing the three-dimensional geometry of the scene. Specifically, in one embodiment, the system registers the input images along a parametric surface within the imaged scene and derives translation vectors useful in aligning the images into a two-dimensional image mosaic. Once registered, the system generates a shape mosaic representing objects within the scene.

IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 1998-04-16
Abstract: This present invention is for a method referred to as the pin method that greatly simplifies the detection and determination of the identity, amount and activity of molecules with biological activity. It is concerned with use of a device that will facilitate and simplify the measurement of the amount and activity of enzymes, enzyme inhibitors, lectins, receptors and other biologically active substances using a one-step technique for isolating a reactant from a product after completion of the reaction. The method involves the insertion of a pin-like device whose surface is coated with a reactant into a reaction vessel containing the appropriate compounds, allowing the reaction to proceed for a given period of time and then withdrawing the pin-like device from the reaction vessel. The amount of labeled products or reactants remaining in the reaction vessel can be directly measured without additional steps.

Abstract: A method at the bleaching of pulp, comprising bleaching with peracetic acid where the pH value during the bleaching reaction is held within 5-7. In the final phase of the bleaching with peracetic acid, metals released in the pulp are rebound to the fibers in the pulp by increasing the pH value to at least 9, whereafter the pulp is washed. The pH value is increased preferably 1-10 minutes before the washing. It is thereby possible to close the bleaching process in counterflow without risk of accumulation of the metals in the process.

Filed: 1998-05-22
Abstract: An air flow system for the freezer compartment of a refrigerator includes air inlets located at an upper rear portion of the freezer compartment which direct a supply of cooling air forward and against both top and side walls of the compartment. The air then flows along an upper portion of the compartment toward a front thereof where it is redirected downward and rearward. The bottom wall of the freezer compartment is provided with a plurality of upstanding, laterally spaced ribs upon which food items can be supported.      Since the ribs are spaced, numerous channels are formed which extend from the front portion of the compartment to adjacent the rear wall. A gap is preferably created between the rear wall and the ends of the ribs such that air is permitted to flow laterally along a lower rear portion of the compartment. Air outlets or returns are also provided in the lower rear portion of the compartment for recycling of the air. With this arrangement, an effectively distributed and enhanced circulating flow of cooling air is created to efficiently maintain stored food items at a desired temperature.

Abstract: Electrochemical determination of the presence, and optionally concentration of an analyte utilizes an electrode having immobilized thereon one member of a recognition pair, the recognition pair consisting of said one member and of said analyte. In the presence of the analyte in the medium pair complexes, which are complexes between the analyte and the immobilized member are formed. The electrode forms part of an electrochemical system which includes also redox molecules comprising at least one first redox molecule and at least one second redox molecule, the former transferring electrons between the electrode and the latter. Upon formation of a pair complex the electron transfer is inhibited and the change in the electrical response then indicates the presence of said analyte in the medium.
