Patent CA-2390408-A1 (CA)
Title: Adjuster strut
Inventor: WANG NUI
IPC: F16D65/56
Filed: 2000-11-08
Abstract: Opposite ends (11, 35) of strut (10) engage opposed shoes of a drum brake.  During braking, strut (10) is free to lengthen to compensate for brake lining wear. Leaf spring (24) pressing against neck (29) of nut (27) tends to extend strut (10), however this extension is opposed by the engagement of foot (40) of arm (37) with axially disposed face (32) of nut (27). Due to a resilient pivoting action of, and oblique positioning of, arm (37) with respect to cam teeth (31) on face (32) such extension forces are converted into turning of nut (27), leading to axial extension of screw (33) and thus extension of strut (10). Reverse rotation of nut (27) upon release of braking is opposed by frictional contact between it and leaf spring (24).
Patent CA-2391612-A1 (CA)
Title: Improvements in the formation of brassica napus f1 hybrid seeds with high oleic acid content and a reduced linolenic acid content
Inventor: CHARNE DAVID G
IPC: A01H5/10
Filed: 2000-01-19
Abstract: An improved route is provided for producing seeds capable of forming a Brassica napus F1 hybrid via plant breeding wherein the vegetable oil of the seeds exhibits a highly elevated oleic acid (C18:1) content of at least 80 percent by weight (e.g. 80 to 86 percent by weight) and a reduced linolenic acid (C18:3) content of no more than 3 percent by weight (e.g. 1 to 3 percent by weight) based upon the total fatty acid content. The female parent plant (i.e., the seed parent) possesses a homozygous modified FAD-2 gene pair for elevated oleic acid production solely in either the A-genome or the C-genome, and the male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) possesses a homozygous modified FAD-2 gene pair for highly elevated oleic acid production in both the A-genome and the C-genome. Both parent plants also include at least one homozygous modified FAD-3 gene pair for reduced linolenic acid production. The seed yield depression commonly observed in the past in Brassica napus plants exhibiting a comparable highly elevated oleic acid concentration effectively is ameliorated in an efficient manner. The grower of the resulting seeds can produce a Brassica napus crop in improved yields wherein the endogenously formed oil of the seed harvest contains on average the desired elevated oleic acid content and reduced linolenic acid content. An endogenously formed Brassica napus oil is provided that is particularly well suited for use in frying applications. Such oil exhibits further stability in view of the low concentration of linolenic acid that concomitantly is produced within the seeds.

Title: Methods and apparatus for non-invasively identifying conditions of eggs via multi-wavelength spectral comparison
Inventor: HUTCHINS JAMES E
IPC: G01N21/27
Filed: 2001-06-12
Abstract: Methods and apparatus that can non-invasively identify the present condition of eggs, namely, whether an egg is a live egg, a clear egg, an early dead egg, a middle dead egg, a late dead egg, a rotted egg, a cracked egg, and/or an inverted egg, are provided. An egg is illuminated with both visible and invisible light at wavelengths of between about three hundred nanometers and about eleven hundred nanometers (300 nm - 1,100 nm). Light passing through the egg is received at a detector positioned such that a path of the received light does not pass through an aircell within the egg, except in the case of an inverted egg. The intensity of the light is determined at a plurality of the visible and infrared wavelengths, and a spectrum that represents light intensity at selected ones of the visible and infrared wavelengths is generated. The generated spectrum is compared with one or more spectra associated with a respective known egg condition to identify a present condition of the egg.
