Abstract: A particulate material product cart uses a transfer mechanism for unloading particulate material from the cart. The cart includes a frame supporting an inlet hopper and a discharge chute thereon. The transfer mechanism includes a drum forming a plurality of radially divided product chambers. An inlet opening communicates between one of the product chambers and the inlet hopper and an outlet opening communicates between one of the product chambers and the discharge chute. Rotation of the drum transfers particulate material from the inlet hopper to the discharge chute with minimal disturbance of the product. The cart is particularly suited for handling pulse crops that require gentle handling to avoid crushing, for example beans, peas, lentils and the like.
Patent CA-2432939-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEVESQUE MICHEL
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 2001-12-19
Abstract: A system and method for compressing and decompressing data in real time begins by taking a character string from an input string (12), generating a hash value (28) of the character string (16) which is utilized in a look up table (18) to address a chained array or list (20) of previously matching character strings. The array is updated (34) if there is another matching character string found when compressing the input string. A token generator (36) writes a code (102, 103, 105) to the output string (14) indicating whether or not that there has been a match. The token generator (36) generates an indication of the length of the character string not compressed, the one or more characters string not compressed, the length of a matching character string, and the number of characters processed since the last match. These values generated by the token generator are optimally represented based upon preselected criteria.

Title: Method and apparatus for sizing feet
Inventor: DOWDELL MARK
IPC: A43D1/02
Filed: 2002-04-30
Abstract: A system and method for sizing one's feet for shoes, and for the fitting of shoes. The system includes a computer having a fitting program, which receives foot data from a user, and shoe data for a selected shoe from a shoe information database and compares them, determining a fit indicator for each compared property. The foot and shoe data includes the length, the metatarsal length, the width and the heel width. A useful shoe length is calculated by the program based on the shoe length and several modifiers including the elevation of the heel, the thickness of the collar and the shape and height of the toebox. The program also receives a sock type indicator from the user, indicating a selected sock to be worn with the selected shoe, and accounts for the thickness of the selected sock when determining the fit indicator. The system enables a person to determine a shoe fit, without the need for trying on the selected shoe. The foot data received by the program is obtained using a foot sizing chart that can be downloaded and printed by the user from an Internet web site containing the program, or by use of a scanner. Because the user can inadvertently print the chart at an unknown scale, the program can automatically normalize the foot data received from the user, by determining both the horizontal and vertical scale factors at which the chart was printed.

Title: Radiological image pickup apparatus
Inventor: SATO KENJI
IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 2004-03-01
Abstract: A light application mechanism applies light to the split electrode formation side of a semiconductor layer and an intermediate layer sensitive to radiation in an FPD, and change in the effective sensitive area does not occur, so that fluctuations in the detection sensitivity of the FPD can be circumvented. As light application is continued still after incidence of radiation stops, occurrence of residual output can also be circumvented. Further, a light strength control section controls the light application section so as to increase or decrease the strength of light applied by the light application section in response to a decrease or an increase in a gain setup value of an electric signal processing circuit, and the dark current component narrowing the dynamic range does not widely occupy the output range of the electric signal processing circuit. Consequently, the dynamic range is not largely narrowed either.
