Granted: 1986-03-19
Abstract: A flat-bottomed bin (10) for the bulk storage and discharge of flowable granular materials. Because all of the material in such a bin cannot be discharged by gravity alone, a flexible, dual-wall, cup-shaped bag (12) is supported from and within a bin wall. The cup shaped bag rests on the flat bottom (24) of the bin and contains the granular material to be discharged. The granular material is discharged through a discharge opening (22) of the bag by operation of gravity until the remaining granular material reaches its angle of repose. Then the bin is further emptied by gravity due to inflating the bag to expand its inner wall (14) inwardly. The bag may have either a central discharge opening or a side discharge opening.

Granted: 1990-09-05
Abstract: A process for graphically representing a simulated workpiece as processed by a numerically-controlled machine tool. Stored data defining the workpiece and the tool as well as program data defining relative movement therebetween are used to generate polygons which represent the workpiece and the tool and the path of movement of the tool. These polygons are hierarchically ordered and liked. Corresponding to the hierarchic order of the polygons, intersection point calculations in the linkage are made only for the workpiece polygons which overlap the tool polygon. The image of the processed workpiece is generated successively through the continuous superposition of the changing workpiece polygons with the processing polygons corresponding to the tool and its path. Workpiece edges which drop out are erased, and invisible workpiece edges are nto represented.

Abstract: A viability test device wherein the viability of a test composition for the determination of an analyte of interest can be determined by simply wetting the device with ordinary water. The viability device can be prepared in three formats: a control or calibrator device, an internal control device and a self indicating device. Unreacted analyte, or an analog thereof, can be incorporated in a limited defined portion of a dried carrier matrix incorporated with a test composition to provide an internal control test device. When wetted with water, a positive optical response, usually color, indicates the test composition can provide a viable test for the analyte. The internal control test device is particularly advantageously used by diabetics in their own homes where a negative test response could be due to the desired control of the user's condition or due to deterioration of a test composition because of unfavourable storage conditions.
