Title: V-rake with windrow width adjustment
Inventor: TONUTTI CARLETTO
IPC: A01D57/12
Filed: 1999-08-11
Granted: 2007-02-06
Abstract: A V-rake includes a drawbar assembly adapted for connection to a tow vehicle, in combination with a transverse cross-member connected to the drawbar assembly. Wheels are mounted to the cross-member, to form a trolley for conveying the V-rake. A rake arm is mounted to each end of the cross-member, and includes a series of rake wheels. The rake arms are moveable relative to the cross-member between an open, operative position and a closed, transport position, and the rake wheels are moveable relative to the rake arms between a raised, inoperative position and a lowered, operative position. The transverse cross- member is a rigid, fixed-length member to increase the structural rigidity of the trolley. A windrow width adjusting arrangement is interconnected with the rake assembly, and includes a windrow forming rake assembly mounted to the transverse cross-member adjacent each end thereof. Each windrow forming rake assembly includes a rake wheel mounted to an outer arm, which in turn is mounted to an inner arm pivotably mounted to the transverse cross-member for movement about a vertical pivot axis. In this manner, the windrow forming rake wheels can be moved together and apart to adjust the width of windrow formed between the windrow forming rake wheels. An adjustable length member, such as a turnbuckle or hydraulic cylinder assembly, is interposed between the transverse cross-member and each inner arm, for controlling the position of the windrow forming rake wheel. The outer arm is preferably mounted for pivoting movement to the inner arm about a substantially horizontal pivot axis, to enable the windrow forming rake wheels to be moved between a raised, inoperative position and a lowered, operative position in response to operation of an actuator associated with the rake for moving the rake wheels between the raised, inoperative position and the lowered, operative position.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of handing-off a remote unit (113) from a first base station (101) to a second base station (102). The remote unit (113) communicates with the first base station (101) and establishes communication with a second base station (102). It is then determined, preferably by the remote unit (113), that the remote unit (113) should hand-off to the second base station (102). An overhead information start time is then determined. The remote unit (102) may determine when the overhead information will be broadcast by the second base station (102), thereby establishing an overhead information start time. The overhead information start time is the time when overhead information will be transmitted from the second base station (102). The first base station (101) and the second base station (102) may be synchronized to transmit the overhead information at approximately the same time. In this manner, the remote unit (102) can determine the overhead information start time at the second base station (102) by monitoring the overhead information start time at the first base station (101). The remote unit (113) is then handed off to the second base station (102) based upon the overhead information start time.

Abstract: A system for arc welding includes a welding power supply and a wire feeder. The wire feeder includes a do wire feed motor and a do wire feed power supply in electrical communication with the wire feed motor. A PTC thermistor is disposed electrically between the power supply and the wire feed motor. Current flows from the power supply, through the PTC thermistor, and then to the motor.      Under normal current conditions the PTC thermistor allows current to be provided to the wire feed motor from the power supply, but under excessive current conditions the PTC thermistor inhibits current from being provided to the wire feed motor from the power supply. A diode is connected in anti-parallel with the motor. A pulse width modulation switch control current delivered to the motor. A normally open relay is closed when welding is to be performed to provide current to the motor, and a normally closed relay, connected in parallel with and shunting the motor, is opened when welding is to be performed. The normally closed relay acts as a brake on the motor when it is closed. The PTC thermistor is not shunted by a resistor and/or a varistor, and/or is not in parallel with a relay.

Title: Abrasive polishing method
Inventor: RHOADES LAWRENCE J
IPC: C09C1/68
Filed: 1999-08-25
Granted: 2005-11-22
Abstract: The present invention is based on the practice of abrasive machining with no sealed working chamber by the employment of a visco-elastic abrasive medium, behaving predominantly as an elastic solid at the applied.strain of the orbital working motion, and applying orbital or other relative working motion to produce strain rates which bring the medium into a predominantly elastic deformation and often near, but not to exceed, the compressive stress limit at the strain rate employed. The preferred visco-elastic abrasive medium is a rheopectic poly(boro-siloxane) filled with viscosity increasing stiffening agents and high loadings of the abrasive of choice and relatively minor amounts of plasticizers. The system is operated in an open chamber under applied strain rates such that at least about 50 %, particularly about 50 to 99 %, and preferably about 80 to 95 %, of the deflection of the medium under the conditions of operation occurs by elastic deformation and is elastically recovered, and less than 50 %, particularly about 1 to 50 %, preferably about 5 to 20 %, of the deflection of the medium occurs by fluid or plastic flow.

Abstract: The method employs a commercially-available blood cell separator comprising a computer-controlled centrifuge (2) having a rotor (24) into which a blood processing bag (6) containing donor blood is placed. Once the blood is collected, the process is performed entirely within the enclosed centrifuge bowl, preferably in situ at the donor collection site. In the first step, the blood is centrifuged to separate the plasma from the cellular components.  After isolation of the red blood cells from other blood components, the red cells are washed with normal saline or other solution. The red blood cells are then lysed by hypotonic shock to separate the red cell membranes (stroma) and the lysate is collected in a sterile container (44), leaving only the stroma in the centrifuge bowl. The final product can be used as raw material for any of the hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers currently being developed as red cell substitutes. All of the steps are performed within a processing container or blood bag (6) in the bowl centrifuge to minimize handling and maintain sterility. A method for preparing a modified hemoglobin solution incorporates the steps for producing stroma-free hemoglobin, then adding pre-measured reagents to react with the solution and filtering the solution.

Title: Reduction in the noise produced by a rotor blade of a wind turbine
Inventor: WOBBEN ALOYS
IPC: F01D5/28
Filed: 1999-12-09
Granted: 2008-01-08
Abstract: Rotor blades for wind power installations are known in many different forms. In a wind power installation the rotors or the rotor blades thereof represent the main source of sound. For reasons relating to acceptance and noise prevention laws, the aim should/must be that of minimising the levels of sound emission as wind power installations are often also set up in the proximity of residential accommodation. The levels of sound emission which hitherto occur with a wind power installation or a wind power converter also mean that wind power installations are faced with resistance from populated areas because of the sound they produce and for that reason such installations can be accepted sometimes with difficulty or not at all as authorities responsible for planning permission refuse permission for wind power installations because of the existing environmental requirements, noise also being an environmentally polluting factor. Therefore the object of the invention is further to improve the noise emission of wind power installations. Wind power installation rotor blade comprising means for reducing the sound produced by a rotor blade, wherein the means is formed by a fluid-repellent layer and/or surface which is provided at least on a surface portion of the rotor blade.
