Title: Hydraulic system sump standpipe
Inventor: EAGLES DEREK MALCOLM
IPC: F15B21/047
Filed: 2001-09-25
Abstract: A hydraulic system having a standpipe in a sump with ports on the side of the standpipe and one smaller port on the top of the standpipe. The majority of the oil flows into the standpipe through the side ports thereby reducing the downward suction and flow at the top of the standpipe to eliminate the formation of a vortex at the top of the standpipe.  As a result, less air is drawn into the oil producing a more consistent oil/air mixture and more consistent sump oil level.

Patent CA-2359286-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SPRAGINS CISSE W
IPC: A01M1/02
Filed: 2001-10-18
Abstract: An insect station for insects having a base, a retainer, a cover and a disposable cup. The base and retainer engage the cup about the opening of the cup. The cover engages the base over the opening of the cup to minimize the collection of rain and dirt in the cup. A hole is dug in the ground for the insect station. The base is disposed at about grass level and is anchored with stakes into the turf. Openings between the cover and the base permit insects access to the cup. The cover and base include key and keyhole structures such that a certain level of effort is required to remove the cover from the base. The insect station may be used trapping/monitoring, where the retainer is used in the nature of a funnel to maximize the chances that insects will fall into the cup, where water, beer or another attractant can be placed. The insect station may also be used for baiting, where the retainer is flipped the other way and is used in the nature of a seal to minimize entry of dirt and water into the cup, where liquid, granular or gel bait is placed. Instead of being set in the ground, the insect station may be hung from a tree, post or other object or be placed on a surface "upside down" such that the cup points upwardly.

Abstract: It has been discovered that catalysts may be modified by depositing an agent  derivative from an agent such as an organometallic compound upon them. Such a modification gives a catalyst useful in increased selectivity to para- substituted alkyl benzenes, such as para-xylene (PX), through reacting an aromatic compound such as toluene and/or benzene with a methylating agent fr om hydrogen and carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide and/or methanol. Using these selectivated catalysts, para-substituted alkyl benzenes can be recover ed in a selectivity of 80 % or greater, significantly better than the equilibri um concentration of 24 %.

IPC: A61J3/00
Filed: 2000-04-20
Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of medicine and essentially relates to methods for screening drug preparations and mainly for selecting a preparation and optimally dosing the same in order to treat a physical patient. The method involves selecting a drug preparation according to the results from the culture of a patient's whole blood in which heparin has been added and in the presence of aqueous solutions of comparative preparations.  The method further involves analysing the ratio of the -SH and -SS- groups in the cellular fraction of the patient's blood after cultivation, and the preparation selected is the one presenting the most adequate ratio. This method reduces the screening duration down to a few hours and can be used for treating viral, cancerous, auto-immune and other conditions.

Title: Content based publish-and-subscribe system integrated in a relational database system
Inventor: SOYLEMEZ EKREM
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-06-29
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for implementing a content based publish-and-subscribe system in a relational database system. A subscriber may request for messages by using a query language supported by the database server. The queries are then used as subscription rules for determining whether an incoming message is to be sent to the subscriber. Evaluation of incoming messages against subscription rules involves a two-tier process. The first tier involves filtering out all the subscription rules that could not possibly apply to the incoming message. The second tier involves further evaluation of the incoming message, if needed, to determine which subscribers are to receive the incoming message. In another aspect of the embodiment, in cases where the publisher is the relational database system itself, queries that request for messages are not stored as subscription rules because publication of the messages is implicit.

Title: Livestock feeder and manufacturing method
Inventor: PLYMELL K RICHARD
IPC: A01K5/01
Filed: 2002-05-29
Abstract: A livestock feeder includes a sidewall with a top and a bottom. The sidewall forms an enclosure adapted for receiving feed. Rim and base rings are provided adjacent to the sidewall top and bottom, and a medial ring is located generally intermediate the rim and base rings. The rings can assume various geometric configurations, including circular and polygonal, which configurations define a footprint of the feeder. The rings are maintained in spaced, generally parallel relation by an upper tier of support bars extending between and connected to the rim and medial rings and a lower tier or space or bars extending between and connected to the base and medial rings. The rings comprise multiple sections which can be joined together mechanically with telescopic corrections, by welding or by adhesive. The spacer bars can likewise be connected to the rings by various connection techniques. The feeder components can be formed by extension, rotational molding or other suitable manufacturing methods. A method of manufacturing livestock feeders includes the steps of forming ring members with first, lesser radii, assembling sidewall sections with the ring members and support bars, and expanding the ring members to second, greater radii with the feeder in its finished configuration.
