Title: Excavation bucket incorporating an impact actuator assembly
Inventor: IRELAND ODIN
IPC: E02F3/40
Filed: 1998-03-10
Abstract: An excavation bucket incorporating an impact actuator assembly is described herein. The excavation bucket includes a bucket body, a movable head, a movable floor portion mounted to the movable head and an impact actuator provided between and mounted to the bucket body and the movable head. The movable head is longitudinally movable in the bucket body. The movable head is provided with tools, such as teeth, to penetrate hard soils. These tools are slidably mounted in the movable head to reach a retracted position when they are pushed against hard soil. When the impact actuator is activated, the longitudinal impacts generated by the impact actuator drive the tools into the hard soil if the tools are in their retracted positions. However, if the impact actuator is activated while the tools are not in their retracted position, the longitudinal impacts will cause the repetitive longitudinal movements of the movable head and thus of the movable floor with respect to the bucket body.

Title: Categorization automata employing neuronal group selection with reentry
Inventor: EDELMAN GERALD M
IPC: G06V10/764
Filed: 1990-10-10
Abstract: An apparatus capable of sensing the presence of objects in its environment, categorizing these objects without a prior description of the categories to be expected, and controlling robotic effector mechanisms to respond differentially to such objects according to their categories. Such responses include sorting objects, rejecting objects of certain types, and detecting novel or deviant objects. The invention includes a device called a "classification n-tuple" (of which a "classification couple" is a special case) capable of combining signals from two or more sensory modalities to arrive at the classification of the object. The invention operates by simulating certain features of animal nervous system, including neurons with responses determined at each moment of time by inputs received along synaptic connections from sensory means or form other neurons. In this invention, neurons are arranged in "groups", which permits them to act cooperatively while still retaining characteristic individual responses. Groups in turn are arranged in "repertoires", which provide a totality of response specificities sufficient to respond to any of a range of possible input objects. Some of these repertoires are organized as "maps", such that groups responding to inputs that are similar along some dimensional (spatial or abstract) are close together in the repertoire, enabling the repertoire to respond correctly to novel objects that are similar to objects it has encountered previously. Maps in this invention are linked by connections, called "reentrant" connections, that enable the responses of one map to be reentered into the system as inputs to another map. Reentrant connections permit signals from different sensory modalities to be correlated in an ongoing fashion, and they are the basis for the operation of classification n-tuples. The responses of the apparatus of this invention may be improved and optimized for a particular task through the operation of "neuronal group selection", a process which enhances the responses of those neuronal groups in the apparatus which were active in some time interval preceding the production of a useful output action. This process operates by modifying the strength of selected synaptic connections. The value of various output actions is determined, for the purpose of regulating selection, by means which are internal to the apparatus of this invention. Accordingly, the invention is capable of self-organization and learning, and does not require a predetermined specification of correct responses for all possible inputs.

Title: Vectors having enhanced expression and methods of making and uses thereof
Inventor: TARTAGLIA JAMES
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 1998-02-25
Abstract: Disclosed and claimed are vectors having enhanced expression and methods for making and using them. Enhancement of expression is from substantially co-temporal expression of at least one first nucleic acid molecule and at least one second nucleic acid molecule. The second nucleic acid molecule encodes a translation factor. The contemporaneous expression can be from operably linking the first and second nucleic molecules to a single promoter, or from operably linking the first nucleic acid molecule to a first promoter and the second nucleic molecule to a second promoter wherein the first and second promoters function substantially contemporaneously. Thus, the first and second nucleic acid molecules can be at the same locus in the vector or at different loci. The second nucleic acid molecule can encode encode one translation factor or more than one translation factor. The translation factor can be a K3L open reading frame, an E3L open reading frame, a VAI RNA, an EBER RNA, a sigma 3 open reading frame, a TRBP open reading frame, or combinations thereof. The vector can be a poxvirus such as an attenuated poxvirus; for instance, a NYVAC vaccinia virus or an ALVAC canarypox virus.

Title: Lubricated high speed fluid cutting jet
Inventor: KATZ JOSEPH
IPC: B24C5/04
Filed: 1998-03-21
Abstract: A high speed fluid jet nozzle made at least in part of a porous material and configured so that the porous part of the nozzle is surrounded at least in part by a reservoir containing a lubricant fluid. As a cutting fluid passes through the nozzle, lubricant from the reservoir is drawn through the porous material and lubricates the surfaces of the nozzle exposed to the fluid jet. The invention not only resolves the main difficulties of the prior art relating to nozzle wear, it expands the use and applications of high speed fluid jet cutters. By reducing wear of a jet nozzle, it is possible to increase the jet speed and reduce the nozzle diameter even further than the prior art, allowing much higher precision, deeper cutting, and usage on difficult to cut material such as ceramics. The invention thus provides a reliable but yet very simple method for preventing nozzle wear.

Abstract: An improved transferset assembly for transferring fluids between a first container, such as a medicament vial and a second container, such as a syringe, which includes an integral polymeric transfer assembly having a tubular collar portion, a radial portion overlying the rim of the first container, an outer tubular portion and an inner tubular portion which is integrally joined to the outer tubular portion by a radial intermediate web portion, a piercing member telescopically received in the inner tubular portion having a piercing end to pierce the closure sealing the open end of the first container and a removable closure which seals the open ends of the outer and inner tubular portions of the transfer assembly. The tubular collar portion, which may be separate from the inner and outer tubular portions, is formed of composite polymer including a relatively soft polymer and a relatively rigid polymer, such that the free end of the collar portion may be deformed radially inwardly or crimped into the neck of the first container, yet sufficiently rigid to retain its shape following deformation and resistant to creep to maintain a seal between the transfer assembly and the first container. The proximate end of the inner tubular portion includes a sharp edge which seals against the closure of the first container. The preferred embodiment of the closure is frangibly connected to the free end of the outer tubular portion of the transfer assembly and provides a biological seal.

Title: Phase locking
Inventor: FALCONER ROBERT MCKENZIE
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 1982-06-01
Abstract: A modification of a phase-locked loop comprises incorporating a variable delay element in the feedback path from the oscillator to the phase comparator. The delay is controlled by the signal at the input to the oscillator, and allows two phase-locked loops having different input delays to be interconnected and such that they stabilise at a common frequency. This arrangement may be used in a network of interconnected oscillator terminals to allow the terminals to synchronise even when only indirect paths exist between them. It is therefore highly fault tolerant.
