Title: Text processor
Inventor: WALKER RANDALL C
IPC: G06F17/21
Filed: 1999-02-02
Abstract: A text enhancement method and apparatus for the presentation of text for improved human reading. The method includes extracting text specific attributes from machine readable text and varying the text presentation in accordance with the attributes. The preferred embodiment of the method: extracts parts of speech and punctuation from a sentence, applies folding rules which use the parts of speech to determine folding points, and presents text segments each on a new line and having a determined horizontal displacement based on the text specific attributes. One method displays text over bent curves having a shape based on text content. Another method includes displaying relative text position within a hierarchy using alternating vertically and horizontally tiled planes. Another method supports reading text segments across opposed pages without waiting for paging. Yet another method displays text to allow reading from bottom to top as though from front to back. Still another method displays words in colors reflecting the relationships between the words and the larger text segments of which they are apart.

Title: Electronic brake controller and display
Inventor: ECCLESTON LARRY
IPC: B60T17/22
Filed: 2000-10-23
Abstract: A brake control unit provides a properly oriented brake control display irrespective of whether the brake control unit is installed in a normal or inverted mode.  The brake control unit determines whether a brake control signal is asserted when the brake control unit is connected to a vehicle power supply. If so, the brake control display is inverted. Alternatively, the brake control unit determines orientation by monitoring a position sensitive device. The brake control unit is also capable of determining and displaying the status of a brake load on the brake control display. In addition, the brake control unit is capable of determining and displaying an output voltage of the brake control unit on the brake control display.

Abstract: A perch for therapeutically assisting a bird roosting on or moving along the perch is provided. The perch includes an elongate member which defines an undulating surface, preferably irregularly undulating and textured, and a first end, and a stabilizer defining a first end. The first end of the stabilizer is disposed in the first end of the elongate member and stabilizes the perch. The perch therapeutically assists a bird roosting on or moving along the perch by providing a variably dimensioned surface which compels the bird to use more of its leg and foot musculature as it roosts on or moves along the perch. It also assists the bird in grooming itself as it walks along the perch and its nails rub against the textured undulating surface. Provided, as well, is a method for fabricating the lightweight perch of the present invention. The method includes at least the steps of creating an elongate member which defines an irregularly undulating surface and includes at least a first end, disposing a stabilizer defining a first end within the elongate member such that the first end of the stabilizer extends from the first end of said elongate member, and treating the surface of the elongate member to provide it with a textured finish.

Abstract: A multi-step process by which plant somatic embryos can be sown and germinated ex vitro using conventional seeding equipment, growing mixes, and plant propagation environments. The process most preferably comprises the steps of:  placing a somatic embryo on or within a three-phase substrate, the phases comprising solid, liquid and gas phases, placing the substrate containing a somatic embryo into an environmentally-controlled plant-growing environment in which at least one environmental factor (i.e. moisture level within the three-phase substrate, atmospheric humidity, temperature, nutrients, ambient light intensity and diurnal photoperiod) may be controlled and manipulated, manipulating at least one of the environmental factors to enable and facilitate germination of the somatic embryo, and applying water and/or nutrient solutions at regular intervals, the intervals preferably ranging from 1 minute - 24 hours, to the surface of the substrate in the form of microdroplets, preferably for a period of time ranging between three to eight weeks, such that somatic embryo imbibition, germination, growth and development occur. The process can be practiced in non-sterile conditions with "naked" fresh and/or HRHT-treated and/or desiccated embryos, ie., non-encapsulated or otherwise uncoated embryos, and does not require the use of aseptic techniques or sterilized media or equipment.

IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 1999-08-31
Abstract: Indirect access and control of a target computer process from a control computer process in a multitasking computer operating system environment is described. The control process contains a dynamic linked library (DLL) file. A  hook filter function is then inserted into the target process using one of the operating system commands. This forcibly maps the control process DLL into the target process memory space. The hook filter function monitors all messages from the operating system which enter the target process via its message queue. The control process places necessary arguments and data in the DLL and sends a message to the hook filter function requesting an operation within the target process. The hook filter function recognizes the message as being from the control process and that the arguments and data are in the DLL. Data may also be passed from the target process via the DLL to the control process.

Patent CA-2353113-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROBIN LAWRENCE E
IPC: E21B4/00
Filed: 2001-07-16
Abstract: A flow retarder is provided for use in the bearing assembly of a downhole drilling motor. The bearing assembly is connected to the motor power section by an inner tubular adapter and an outer tubular adjustable housing, which between them define a clearance through which drilling fluid from the motor can move. The bearing assembly comprises an inner tubular mandrel and an outer tubular housing. The flow retarder is positioned at the upper end of a pressure balancing chamber, formed between the mandrel and housing. This chamber also contains a floating piston seal at its lower end. The flow retarder functions as a seal which restricts the entry of drilling fluid from the adapter/adjustable housing clearance into the pressure balancing chamber. It also substantially isolates the pressure balancing chamber from the high pressure present in the drilling fluid moving down from the motor power section, and it enables equalization of the pressure internal of the chamber with the annulus/wellbore pressure external of the bearing assembly. The flow retarder comprises: an inner carbide sleeve connected to the rotating mandrel by a resilient elastomer layer bonded to a driver ring which is locked on the rotating mandrel; an outer carbide sleeve affixed to the stationary tubular housing; the sleeves forming a narrow annular clearance or metering gap between them; a secondary port extending through the mandrel side wall directly above the carbide sleeves; and a housing port extending through the housing side wall below the flow retarder sleeves. Drilling fluid leaks down from the adapter/adjustable housing clearance and passes through the metering gap to lubricate the carbide sleeves. Part of this fluid returns through the secondary port to the main bore of the mandrel. By providing the elastomer layer, the transmission of radial loads from the inner sleeve to the outer sleeve is reduced. As a consequence, wear of the sleeves is reduced and the gap can be maintained narrower, thereby minimizing loss of drilling fluid through the flow retarder and providing more effective metering of the drilling fluid.

Filed: 2000-02-18
Abstract: The positive half-cycle for an AC input signal is applied to wave rectifier (20, 22), a filter and a voltage regulator (30, 31) for generating a dc output signal. The ac input signal is also applied to a transistor (50) in either the common emitter or common source configuration which shifts the ac input signal by 180 degrees. This signal is then applied to another rectifier (21, 23) for converting the shifted ac input signal into a pulsating dc output signal. Then shifted dc output signal is applied to a second capacitor filter to reduce the signal variations. The final stage for the second output stage is also a voltage regulator (32, 33), i.e., two series zener diodes). The transformerless power supply produces either a dual positive or dual negative dc voltage supply. In addition, the voltage supply circuits may include a relay voltage, which may be controlled by a control circuit.
