Title: Procede de formation d'un goulot sur un recipient metallique extrude par choc
Inventor: FALONEY CHARLES
IPC: B21D51/26
Filed: 1995-11-21
Granted: 1999-09-14
Abstract: Cette invention concerne une méthode de formage d'un col allongé et rétreint (225) dans un récipient métallique obtenu par filage à choc, méthode selon laquelle on rogne une portion plus grande du bout ouvert du récipient que ce qui est strictement nécessaire pour produire une rive droite non plissée. La partie rognée (111a, 111b) est suffisamment longue pour que le métal à la nouvelle rive (112a, 112b) obtenue comporte sensiblement plus de métal qu'avec un rognage normal. La formabilité accrue découle du fait que les impuretés qui migrent vers le bout ouvert du récipient sont largement éliminées par le rognage profond. Le résultat est amélioré davantage en raison du rognage du bout du col en cours de rétreint dans une série de matrices de rétreint (120) et de l'utilisation d'air comprimé dans les quelques premières matrices pour aider à l'éjection des récipients.

Title: Method and apparatus for photogrammetric assessment of biological tissue
Inventor: TAYLOR GEOFFREY L
IPC: A61B5/107
Filed: 1996-11-14
Granted: 2006-01-31
Abstract: A remote wound assessment method and apparatus includes forming an oblique image (32) of a wound (34) and a target object such as a plate (36) containing a rectangle (37) and placed near the wound. Using a novel method of determining vanishing points (V1, V2) where photographic images of parallel lines on the target object intersect, coordinate transformations are calculated which map the oblique image (36I) of the rectangle (37I) into a normal image (36N) thereof. Using the same coordinate transformations, an oblique image (34I) of a wound (34) adjacent to the target plate (36) is mapped into a normal view (34N) thereof, allowing precise measurement of wound features. By forming two separate images (32L, 32R) of a wound (34) and target plate (36) at two different oblique inclinations, three-dimensional features of a wound may be measured.

Abstract: A versatile and easily serviceable material spreading apparatus of the type for movement over a ground surface while broadcasting a material along a path on the ground surface. The apparatus includes a belt cartridge which can be slid into or pulled out of a chassis compartment having ledges for supporting the cartridge. The belt cartridge provides an upper flight on which material is carried from a hopper supported on the chassis to a broadcasting unit carried at one end of the chassis. A plurality of broadcasting units each of which has an attachment component, which in combination with a mating attachment component carried by the chassis, permits quick fastening and removal of each unit relative to the chassis. One of the broadcasting units mounts an elongated rotatable member below a drop-off end of the upper flight of the belt cartridge, and the rotatable member is driven in a direction so that the upper rotating periphery of the rotating member propels the material upward and away from the chassis. The rotating member has strips of bristles which spiral around a core of the member towards opposite ends thereof so that the material also has imparted to it from bristles of the rotating member a direction of flight having a side-ways component to thereby increase the width of the path of distribution.

Abstract: A method of wet granulation of fertilizer and other materials into granules. The method involves formation of the granule directly on the pan from the feedstock without intermediate steps or the use of seed materials. The result is a product having a completely uniform cross section. The feedstock is initially in the size distribution of -150 mesh with 90% or greater in the size range of 200 mesh. Moisture is maintained to facilitate a steady process without cycling. The method has the advantage of allowing granulation of materials either known to be hazardous or inherently difficult to granulate in a safe and expedient manner.

Title: Auxiliary hydraulic drive for tractors
Inventor: KOWALYK VLAD
IPC: F16H57/04
Filed: 1999-08-12
Granted: 2008-01-29
Abstract: A splitter gearbox for a four wheel drive, hydrostatically driven tractor integrates both the input drive train and the output drive train into a single gearbox. The drive mechanism eliminates the need for a separate mechanical gearbox by establishing pre-set fixed displacement settings that are electronically controlled along with the variable displacement of the hydrostatic motor and hydrostatic pump, to provide a smooth power shift through all ranges without requiring the tractor to stop. The drive mechanism is configured so that essentially all components are individually controlled so that the entire power generated by the tractor engine can be diverted to any one of the traction drive, the PTO mechanism, the auxiliary hydraulic drive or, to a somewhat lesser extent, the tractor hydraulic system. The splitter gearbox is mounted to the rear axle housing to allow the sharing of a common oil sump. The input gear set and the output gear set are also within the same common lubrication sump within the splitter gearbox.

Title: Method and apparatus for receiving mpeg video over the internet
Inventor: BOYCE JILL MACDONALD
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 1999-08-31
Granted: 2003-07-15
Abstract: In order to transmit an inter-frame coded video signal, such as an MPEG-coded video signal, over a packet-based network such as the Internet, the video signal associated with at least one video frame, is split into a high priority partition and a low priority partition. A systematic forward error erasure/correction (FEC) code, such as a Reed Solomon (n,k) code, is then applied to bytes in the high priority partition. The forward error/erasure corrected high priority partition bytes and the low priority partition bytes are then combined into n packets for transmission over the packet network to a receiver/decoder. Each of the n transmitted packets contains a combination of both high priority partition data bytes and low priority partition information bytes. In k of those packets the high priority partition data bytes are all high priority partition information bytes and in n-k of those packets all the high priority partition data byte are parity bytes produced by the FEC coding. More specifically, for each high priority partition byte position within the n packets, the forward error/erasure correction code is applied using one high priority partition information byte from the same byte position in each of those k packets to determine n-k parity bytes, which are arranged, one byte per packet, in the n-k packets containing high priority partition parity bytes. If up to n-k packets are lost in transmission over the packet network to the receiver, then the high priority partition bytes in such lost packets can be recovered to applying FEC decoding to the high partition bytes in the received packets. The most visually significant information is thus protected against packet loss over the network.
