Title: Movable barrier operator auto-force setting method and apparatus
Inventor: JURADO CARLOS
IPC: E05F15/00
Filed: 2004-01-06
Granted: 2008-07-23
Abstract: A movable barrier operator having a motor controller 10 and motor 11 that control movement of a movable barrier 12, and also has an obstacle detector 14 that utilizes an automatically determined excess force threshold value to permit reliable detection of an obstacle. A wide variety of operational circumstances such as, changing physical circumstances, aging components, temperature variations, and motor runtime may be detected by the obstacle detector. Preferably, a characteristic force value for the system is frequently updated as a function of actual measured force requirements (and further compensated, with respect to other conditions such as temperature and motor runtime .This characteristic force value is then utilized to determine the excess force threshold value.

Title: System for detecting polynucleotides
Inventor: KOSHINSKY HEATHER
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2004-05-20
Granted: 2008-05-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for detecting the presence or amount of a target polynucleotide. A polynucleotide, target nucleic acid analog, and dye are combined to form a mixture. The optical property of the dye is observed after the mixture is exposed to a stimulating means. Optionally, after the stimulating means is employed, the mixture is compared to a reference value characteristic of the rate of change in the optical property of the dye in a similar mixture containing a known amount of a target polynucleotide/nucleic acid analog hybrid to determine a relative rate of change in the optical property. The change in a property of the mixture after exposure thereof to a stimulating means or the relative rate of change in the optical property of dye in the mixture is correlated with the presence or amount of the specified target polynucleotide in the sample.

Title: Liquid hydrocarbon fuel utilising method for IC engine
Inventor: TALBERT WILLIAM L
IPC: F02M/
Filed: 1984-02-02
Granted: 1987-06-18
Abstract: Hydrocarbon fuel normally entirely consumed in operation are modified by separating lighter, highly volatile fractions of a paraffinic and ultra fast burning nature from the fuels. Only the lighter fractions are used for fueling the engine, with the heavier fractions being stored separately from the original hydrocarbon fuel source. The lighter fractions permit operating the engine with a lean fuel mixture having a higher than stoichiometric air-to-fuel ratio, thus accommodating the characteristic intermittent fuel demand of the operator and reducing the production of undesirable nitrogen oxides. This permits the engine to operate at reduced operating temps. and prolongs the useful life of the engine components.

Title: Reducing the Conradson carbon and metals content of heavy oils
Inventor: BARTHOLIC DAVID B
IPC: C10G/
Filed: 1982-02-12
Granted: 1987-02-18
Abstract: Selective vaporisation process for reducing the Conradson carbon (CC) and metals content of heavy petroleum fractions comprises contacting the feed and inert gas with a finely divided inert solid material in a riser reactor under mild cracking conditions, including a high temp. and a short hydrocarbon residence time. The vapour-phase prods. are sepd. from the solids and are cooled to a temp. below that at which significant thermal cracking occurs. The solids are contacted with an oxidising gas to burn off coke deposits and heat the catalysts (sic) to high temp., whereupon the heated solids are returned to the lower part of the riser. The improvement comprises introducing the inert gas into the lower part of the riser and injecting the feed into the riser at a point situated in or above the lower part. The process is esp. useful for producing FCC feedstocks from petroleum residua. Injection of the inert gas as above provides provides greater flexibility in the feed injection rate and/or in the control of the residence time in the riser.
