Abstract: A strapping system in which edge protectors are disposed between a load and tensioned strapping applied about the load in a strapping station. Edge protector applicator assemblies located on opposing sides of the load position edge protectors adjacent a top and bottom surface edge portions of the load when the load is raised above a deck.  The edge protectors are folded over and retained on edges of the load upon application of the tensioned strapping about the load to protect the edges of the load from the tensioned strapping. The strapping system includes a movable frame with spaced support members disposed below the deck and aligned with spaces in the deck. The frame is raised and lowered so that the support members of the frame extend through the spaces of the deck to lift the load above the deck to allow positioning of the lower edge protectors adjacent to the load. The frame is guided as it is raised and lowered by rotatable shafts aligned substantially parallel with corresponding side portions of the frame. Each shaft includes a miter gear disposed on its end portions for engagement with a miter gear of an adjacent shaft to permit synchronized rotation of the shafts. A pinion gear rotatable with the shaft and engagable with a rack on an adjacent side portion of the frame guide the frame as it is raised and lowered.

Title: Pressure cooker
Inventor: CHAN WING PO
IPC: A47J27/08
Filed: 2000-09-07
Granted: 2002-03-26
Abstract: A lid 10 for a pressure cooker has two radially slidable jaws 12 and 13 with upstanding lips 15 and 16, respectively. A locking plate 18 can slide transversely outwards from the position shown so that the lips ride along limbs of apertures 20 and are thereafter held, to prevent radial movement, by the plate 18. The plate 18 is held in its transverse outward position by a plunger (not shown) of a locking valve that is engaged in an aperture 23 in the plate 18. The plunger is released to fall from an uplifted locking position when pressure in the cooker falls below a predetermined level and to enable the plunger to become slidable along the aperture 23. This allows the plate to move and unlock the jaws 12 and 13 and so that the lid 10 can be removed.

Granted: 2006-04-18
Abstract: One can predict the likelihood a child will outgrow an allergy, especially a food allergy, by screening for IgE antibodies immunoreactivities with linear versus conformational epitopes. The child is first screened using standard techniques to determine what antigens the child is allergic to. The immunoglobulins in the sample from the patient are then characterised either using the natural purified antigen, recombinant antigen, reduced and alkylated antigen, proteolytic fragments of the antigen or synthetic peptides of between 4 and 40 amino acids in length, which can be immobilised for rapid and accurate screening. The antibodies from the patient are reacted with the protein or peptides to determine which peptides are bound by the antibodies. These antibodies are then characterised to determine if the epitopes they bind are linear or conformational. Those patients having antibodies primarily reactive with conformational epitopes will typically outgrow their allergies. A similar method for evaluation of IgG  antibodies can be used to predict the prognosis of certain inflammatory disorders.

Title: Method for controlling root growth using diquat bromide
Inventor: MALAVENDA ANTHONY
IPC: A01N25/02
Filed: 1999-04-08
Granted: 2008-02-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of diquat bromide as a root control agent. It is based, at least in part, on the results of green house testing in which application of diquat bromide as a dense foam to tree roots resulted in the destruction of the test roots without causing damage to the upper portion of the trees. Without being bound to any particular theory, it is believed that by applying diquat bromide to produce a high local concentration on the target root, the inactivating effects of local organic substances are overcome, and the diquat bromide kills root tissue by its dessicating activity. The inactivation of diquat bromide by organic materials, under these circumstances, becomes an advantage, as it prevents toxic levels of diquat bromide from traveling downstream from the point of application.

IPC: B01F27/91
Filed: 1999-09-28
Granted: 2008-05-20
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de mélange amélioré de liquides en vrac et de mise en contact efficace gaz-liquide pour permettre un transfert de masse du gaz au liquide, notamment un liquide non Newtonien dont la viscosité est réduite dans des conditions de cisaillement (fluidification par cisaillement) dans un réservoir vertical. On peut réaliser dans le réservoir un procédé, tel qu'une fermentation, permettant de produire des quantités commerciales de polysaccharides, tels que de la gomme xanthane. On monte un tube de circulation vertical dans le réservoir, le tube d'aspiration comportant une extrémité inférieure espacée du fond du réservoir et une extrémité supérieure espacée de la surface du liquide dans le réservoir, au-dessous de laquelle elle se trouve. Plusieurs palettes de mélange dans le tube de circulation sont suffisamment proches l'une de l'autre pour établir un champ ou une configuration d'agitation qui provoquent une fluidification par cisaillement et un flux ascendant dans le tube de circulation, ce qui peut produire une turbulence à la surface du liquide. Plusieurs chicanes à projection radiale vers l'intérieur et espacement circonférentiel s'étendent à partir du tube de circulation et sont contiguës aux palettes de mélange pour empêcher un tourbillonnement du liquide à l'intérieur du tube de circulation. On peut injecter un gaz dans le récipient se trouvant à l'intérieur ou à côté de l'extrémité inférieure du tube de circulation. On induit un écoulement parallèle de circulation de gaz et de liquide, à contact intime gaz-liquide, dans le tube de circulation et hors de l'extrémité supérieure du tube de circulation, de manière à produire un taux élevé de transfert de masse du gaz au liquide. L'écoulement comprenant du gaz entraîné se réduit dans la région annulaire située entre la paroi du réservoir et le tube de circulation destiné à la remise en circulation du liquide et du gaz au-dessus de la surface du liquide, ce qui produit une retenue de gaz et un contact liquide-gaz élevés dans la région annulaire d'écoulement descendant et dans la région du tube de circulation à écoulement ascendant, sans injection de gaz par les palettes. On détermine la concentration de gaz dissous et l'efficacité du système de transfert de masse en phase gazeuse par ré-aération d'un échantillon d'essai du liquide.

Title: Method and apparatus for selecting a communication mode in a mobile communication device having voice recognition capability
Inventor: SHAH SHEETAL
IPC: H04M1/724
Filed: 2000-07-24
Granted: 2005-11-08
Abstract: A mobile communication device containing voice recognition capability is first enabled to perform voice recognition (102). The user then speaks the name of the party the user wishes to call (104), the name corresponding to a record the user has programmed into a memory of the mobile communication device. The mobile communication device then uses the output (106,1 of the voice recognition process to search the memory for a corresponding record (108). The record contains at least two calling numbers, each associated with a different mode of communication, such as dispatch and telephone communication. For a brief period of time after locating the record, the mobile communication device waits (118) for the user to initiate a call in the first communication mode (120) by, for example, pressing a dispatch call button (124). If, after a preselected duration of time has passed and no input is received from the user, the mobile communication device defaults to a second communication mode and makes a call (122).
