Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120111962SOLID CHEMICAL DISSOLVER AND METHODS - A solid chemical feed unit dissolver has an upper feed unit chamber with an inwardly tapering sealing surface at its lower end and against which a lowermost feed unit seals, retaining the upper chamber in a dry condition, preventing wetting and caking of solid chemical feed units behind the dissolving and sealed off face of the solid chemical feed unit. A solid chemical feed unit magazine is slotted to permit gentle feeding of a plurality of solid chemical feed units therein and a cover-defined sight slot permits guiding and visual observation of remaining solid chemical feed units in the magazine. The magazine preferably, but not necessarily, defines the tapering sealing surface. Distinctly shaped solid chemical feed units are disclosed. The dissolver can handle large solid chemical feed unit loads up to one hundred pounds or more and in a small footprint stable configuration. Methods are disclosed.05-10-2012

20090184001Sensor Apparatus for an Electrochemical Measuring Device and Method for Carrying Out Electrochemical Measurements - A sensor apparatus for an electrochemical measuring device. The apparatus has at least one electrode, which can be heated using a heating current in the form of an alternating current, and a first and a second connection for the supply line for the heating current. The electrochemical measuring device is connected to the electrode by a third connection. In this case, the apparatus has the third connection connected to the electrode by a bridge circuit, which is also connected to the first and second connections. There also is provided a method for carrying out electrochemical measurements at elevated temperature. The sensor apparatus and the method for carrying out electrochemical measurements enable electrochemical measurements with little interference and directly heated electrodes in conjunction with a simplified design of the electrodes.07-23-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110153161CORNER UNIT GUIDANCE CONTROL SYSTEM USING TWO ANTENNAS - A corner unit guidance control system for use with a corner unit that is part of a center pivot irrigation system includes a primary antenna, a secondary antenna, a receiver, and a controller. The primary antenna and the secondary antenna may receive signals from at least one external positional information source. The receiver may be in communication with the antennas and operable to process the signals to produce position data corresponding to a current position of a wheel and altitude data about the height of the antennas. The controller may be in communication with the receiver and may be programmed to steer the wheel to a heading corresponding to a difference between the current position of the wheel and a point along the path and further programmed to calculate a tilt angle from the altitude data and adjust the heading based on the tilt angle.06-23-2011
20120010782CORNER UNIT GUIDANCE CONTROL SYSTEM USING ONE ANTENNA - A corner unit guidance control system for use with a corner unit that is part of a center pivot irrigation system includes an antenna, a receiver, and a controller. The antenna may be located along a vertical axis through the center of a wheel of the corner unit and may be operable to receive signals from at least one external positional information source. The receiver may be in communication with the antenna and operable to process the signals to produce position data corresponding to a current position of the wheel. The controller may be in communication with the receiver and may be programmed to steer the wheel to a heading corresponding to a difference between the current position of the wheel and a point along the path.01-12-2012

20110275426SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING GAMING EVENTS - A system may include data stores and a gaming information provider. The data stores may be operable to store first, second and third monetary values received from an input interface operable by a host at an event location. The first monetary value may include a value of game chips purchased by a player. The second monetary value may include a value of game chips collected by the host. The third monetary value may include a payout to the player based on a value of game chips redeemed by the player. The gaming information provider may be embodied as computer executable instructions on a computing device. The gaming information provider may be configured to receive the first, second and third monetary values from the data stores and may be operable to determine a proceeds-value based on the first, second and third monetary values and generate an accounting report including the proceeds-value.11-10-2011

20090012604POLYMERIC, DEGRADABLE DRUG-ELUTING STENTS AND COATINGS - Absorbable stents and absorbable stent coatings have been developed with improved properties. These devices preferably comprise biocompatible copolymers or homopolymers of 4-hydroxybutyrate, and optionally poly-L-lactic acid and other absorbable polymers and additives. Compositions of these materials can be used to make absorbable stents that provide advantageous radial strengths, resistance to recoil and creep, can be plastically expanded on a balloon catheter, and can be deployed rapidly in vivo. Stent coatings derived from these materials provide biocompatible, uniform coatings that are ductile, and can be expanded without the coating cracking and/or delaminating and can be used as a coating matrix for drug incorporation.01-08-2009
