Abstract: A coulter wheel assembly for mounting to a farm implement having a frame. The assembly includes a vertical shank having a coil spring at substantially its mid-point and upper and lower shank members extending therefrom. The upper shank member is attached to the frame by means of a mounting bracket and the lower shank member is attached to a rotatable hub. A coulter wheel for engagement of the soil is mounted on the hub. The coulter wheel assembly is used, for example, with no-till planting equipment in order to prepare the soil prior to seed introduction. In operation, the coulter wheel rotates along the ground, thereby penetrating the soil, and is permitted to deflect in response to impact with obstructions by means of the coil spring; the coulter wheel then returns to its original path, thereby providing a uniformly prepared soil surface and preventing damage to the coulter wheel assembly or the implement.

Abstract: Vitamin E TPGS/drug compositions and methods are provided which obviate the need for surfactants or non-evaporated co-solvents because the active drug component is dissolved directly into Vitamin E TPGS to form a true molecular solution - not an emulsion or a micro-emulsion. The invention provides a slowly dissolving TPGS/drug matrix that absorbs gastrointestinal fluid into the matrix at the dosage form/fluid interface where a gel-like liquid crystal is formed. This gel front forms a liquid crystal boundary where drug dissolution is highest. At this liquid crystal/GI fluid boundary, a synchronization take s place in which the rate of formation of liquid crystals equals the dissolution rate of liquid crystals at the water interface, thereby givi ng controlled order release of the drug into the GI tract. The rate of dissolution is also controlled by the geometry of the dosage form. The solid vitamin E TPGS/drug matrices of the invention can be solidified and compressed into tablets or filled into capsules, with other excipients, binders and/or fillers. The solid TPGS/drug solution of the invention also can be made into an immediate release liquid formulation upon addition of water, or into a controlled release system solid tablet by the use of impermeable or semi-permeable barriers or coating s surrounding portions of the tablet.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un récepteur GPS qui fait l'acquisition et le suivi d'un code C/A dédoublé et qui cale séparément sur le signal reçu les phases d'une onde carrée d'un signal 10,23 MHz généré localement. On peut avoir localement un code onde carrée de 20,46 MHz pour un code C/A de 1,023 MHz localement généré. Le récepteur commence à aligner la phase du code onde carrée généré localement sur le signal reçu, et fait le suivi de l'une des différentes crêtes de la fonction d'autocorrélation du code C/A dédoublé. Il effectue ensuite un déphasage du code C/A localement généré par rapport à la phase du code onde carrée localement généré, de façon à caler l'un sur l'autre les codes C/A locaux et reçus, et de façon à centrer les corrélateurs sur la crête centrale du code C/A dédoublé. Le récepteur utilise alors le code C/A dédoublé généré localement pour faire directement le suivi de la crête centrale.

Abstract: A motor operator for an overhead power switch is disclosed including a microcontroller, a unique and powerful array of well-integrated sensors, a motor and drive developing substantial torque and speed and coupled to a switch actuator and responsive to the microcontroller, and a sophisticated program algorithm stored in memory at the actuator site for dynamically controlling, i.e., governing the various control modes as called for by changing conditions. The sensors include an encoder associated with the motor and drive that develops position information signals fed to the dynamic microcontroller to compute real-time information including position, speed, and stopping distance used in conjunction with remote operate commands to open, close and monitor status of the switch in the various ways disclosed. Under the supervision of the microcontroller, a motor drive power switching circuit selectively applies a source of power, such as from an on site battery, to an electric motor to drive the switch toward open or closed position at different speeds, output force levels such as at different torques, and in continuous or incremental movements depending on conditions determined by the microcontroller in response to sensor inputs.
