Abstract: The portable puck passer is an invention designed to shoot hockey pucks, with the intention that hockey players and goalies will be able to practise retrieving pucks that are passed from the machine. The machine has adjustable legs and is designed to function on any uneven surface. The portable puck passer has a power control module which sends variable speeds to the engine thus rotating a single wheel. The wheel encroaches on the specially designed puck chute, and when a puck is inserted into the chute, the wheel grabs the puck and squeezes it against the outside wall of the chute, creating energy. The chute is designed to keep the puck flat while traversing through it and the energy forces the puck out the front of the chute. Upon leaving the chute; the puck stays flat onto any surface.      The portable puck passer is lightweight, portable and inexpensive to manufacture.

Title: Sensitivity of iterative spectrally smooth temperature/emissivity separation to instrument noise
Inventor: INGRAM PAUL M JR
IPC: G01J5/60
Filed: 2001-07-27
Abstract: A method for estimating the error statistic for retrieved temperature and emissivity of a surface material includes determining the second order analytical error propagation from a measured radiance that differs from the true radiance by additive gaussian noise, which is independent in each band.  The radiance error is translated into a diagonal covariance matrix and an analytical estimate results in a determination of the standard deviation and bias of surface temperature. Further, the method for estimating the error statistic utilizes Monte Carlo simulation from a sufficiently large ensemble of radiance spectra for the retrieved surface temperature and emissivity.  Temperature and emissivity of the surface material were retrieved using ISSTES  algorithm.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une molécule de VHC unique qui possède une efficacité améliorée pour établir une réplication de culture cellulaire. On a identifié de nouvelles mutations adaptative dans la région non structurelle du VHC qui améliorent l'efficacité de l'établissement de réplication continuelle d'ARN de VHC dans une culture cellulaire. Cette molécule polynucléotidique d'autoréplication contient, contre toutes attentes, une région non traduite 5'-NTR qui peut être aussi un A utilisé comme alternative au G déjà découvert et par conséquent il représente une alternative aux systèmes existants comprenant une molécule d'ARN de VHC.
