Abstract: A method and apparatus for constructing a filter zone of an earthfill dam, in which the filter zone includes adjacent coarse and fine filter layers. The coarse and fine filter materials are discharged simultaneously from an earthmoving vehicle having an ejector body. The ejector body includes a longitudinal divider wall that maintains segregation of the materials during transport, and the materials are discharged through separate chute assemblies so as to place the materials in elongate, side-by-side berms. The ejector vehicle is followed by a dozer or other piece of equipment that grades both beans simultaneously. Each pass of the ejector vehicle and dozer thus forms a stratum of the filter zone. The passes are repeated to form a plurality of strata in overlying relationship such that the coarse particulate material forms the coarse filter portion of the filter zone and the fine material forms the fine filter portion of the zone.

Inventor: ASTON CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G16B40/00
Filed: 2004-02-13
Abstract: Methods and computer readable media for statistically identifying an increased risk for disease. In one embodiment, resampling techniques are utilized to consider different genotype combinations within a resampling subset of a case/control data set. Odds-ratios and theoretical p-values are calculated for each genotype combination so that an increased risk of disease associated with a particular genotype combination may be identified. In another embodiment, different genotype combinations within a case/control data set aer considered.  Odds ratios are calculated for each genotype combination. Empirical p-values are calculated for the odds ratios through randomization techniques. Using the odds-ratios and/or empirical p-values, an increased risk for disease associated with a particular genotype combination may be identified.

Title: Barbeque grill having pivot foldable function
Inventor: CHUNG KIOSKY
IPC: A47J37/07
Filed: 2005-08-19
Abstract: A barbeque grill includes an upright support frame, and a grill body foldably and pivotally mounted on the support frame. The grill body is rotatable relative to the support frame until the grill body is retracted into the support frame, so that the grill body is fully hidden in the support frame, thereby folding the barbeque grill. Thus, the grill body is fully hidden in the support frame when the barbeque grill is folded to reduce the volume of the barbeque grill largely, thereby facilitating storage, package and transportation of the barbeque grill.

Abstract: Docking guidance for an aircraft pilot involves viewing horizontal bars (4) and a vertical bar (5) mounted above the pilot~s eye-level a short, distance beyond the docking station. The bars (4, 5), which comprise amber Leeds, are viewed against an array of amber Leeds of a back-plane (7). One row (9) of the array, selected according to aircraft type, is turned ON to form a horizontal datum ~bar (10) towards which the horizontal bars (4) are seen to close as the aircraft moves onto the docking station. Two columns (8) of green LEDs are included in the array and those below the datum bar (10) of the array are ON  to form vertical bars (11). The aircraft is manoeuvred in azimuth to keep the vertical bar (5) between the green bars (11). According to a modification, bars (18) of columns (14) of red LEDs that are obscured from the pilot by baffle-screens (15) when the aircraft is properly aligned, become visible upon deviation from alignment; the screens (15) also act according to the extent of the deviation to obscure the nearest green bar (17) from view.

Title: On/off switch for liquid additive injection pump
Inventor: WALTON FRANK A
IPC: F01L31/00
Filed: 2004-06-30
Abstract: Operation of a system for injecting a predetermined amount of a secondary fluid into a primary fluid stream uses a liquid additive injection pump driven by a fluid powered motor driven by the primary fluid stream can be selectively suspended by an on/off switch mechanism. The fluid powered motor includes a housing enclosing a differential pressure piston assembly having a piston movable within a housing between upstroke and down stroke positions; a valve mechanism establishing a differential pressure within the housing to produce movement of the piston; an over-center mechanism coupled to the valve mechanism to toggle the valve mechanism between open and closed positions; and an actuating shaft coupled to the over-center mechanism, the actuating shaft including a piston upstroke stop that causes toggling of the valve mechanism at an upstroke position of the piston during normal reciprocating movement of the piston. The on/off switch mechanism axially displaces the actuating shaft relative to the housing such that the piston upstroke stop assumes an offset position when the on/off switch mechanism is in the "off' position whereby the piston upstroke stop can not be engaged to cause toggling of the valve mechanism when the piston reaches its upstroke position. In the "on" position, the on/off switch mechanism positions the actuating shaft relative to the housing such that the piston upstroke stop can be engaged to cause toggling of the valve mechanism when the piston reaches its upstroke position.

Filed: 2006-02-17
Abstract: An article of seating furniture includes a base, a seat and a back. The back includes a reclining mechanism. The seat is interconnected with the reclining mechanism such that reclining movement of the back moves the seat forwardly and upwardly. When the back is fully reclined and the seat is fully raised, an upper surface of the seat is coplanar with an upper surface of the back. A footrest is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. When extended, the footrest is generally coplanar with the seat. The back includes a spine having a lower end pivotably interconnected with the base.  The spine includes a seat mounting extension to which the seat is pivotably mounted.  Mounting links between the seat and the base provide movement of the seat when the back is reclined. The base is pivotably mounted to a frame for movement between a horizontal orientation and a Trendelenburg orientation in which the back is lowered relative to the seat, and a latch between the frame and the base maintains the base in the desired orientation.
