20100071333LOADING AUGER DEFLECTOR - A clean grain conveyor system for a harvesting machine having grain gathering, cleaning and temporary storage capabilities includes a clean grain elevator mechanism, a grain storage tank and a loading auger conveyor for moving grain from the elevator mechanism to a discharge end at the storage tank. The conveyor includes a hollow generally cylindrical tube extending obliquely upwardly from the elevator to the grain storage tank and a coaxially disposed auger journalled for rotation within the hollow tube. A grain flow deflector is fixed to the tube discharge end for minimizing grain scattering outside the tank and for selectively directing the flow of grain from the tube discharge end to compensate for different crops and crop conditions, and to generally center the pile of accumulated grain within the tank.03-25-2010

20080282619CUTTING ELEMENT - A method of manufacturing a tool component, which is typically a cutting element or a gauge stone in a rotary drill bit, including a layer of ultra-hard abrasive material bonded to a substrate, the layer of ultra-hard abrasive material comprising a pair of opposed end surfaces, an upper surface defined between the end surfaces, and at least one curved and tapered cutting edge defined at the intersection of the respective end surfaces and the upper surface. The respective cutting edges of the tool component and the respective end surfaces leading to the cutting edges are generally wedge-shaped, the upper surface of the layer following generally the same or a similar profile, at least in the region of the cutting edges.11-20-2008
20100043302ABRASIVE COMPACTS - An abrasive compact having at least a tri-modal particle size distribution, and a binder phase, define a plurality of interstices.

20110303467POLYCRYSTALLINE DIAMOND ABRASIVE ELEMENTS - A polycrystalline diamond abrasive element, particularly a cutting element, comprises a table of polycrystalline diamond bonded to a substrate, particularly a cemented carbide substrate, along a non-planar interface. The non-planar interface typically has a crucifonn configuration. The polycrystalline diamond has a high wear-resistance, and has a region adjacent the working surface leanin catalysing material and a region rich in catalysing material. The region lean in catalysing material extends to a depth of 40 to 90 microns, which is much shallower than in the prior art. Notwithstanding the shallow region lean in catalysing material, the polycrystalline diamond cutters have a wear resistance, impact strength and cutter life comparable to that of prior art cutters, but requiring only 20% of the treatment times of the prior art cutters.12-15-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100135549VERTEBRAL FRACTURE PREDICTION - A method of processing data derived from an image of at least part of a spine is provided for estimating the risk of a future fracture in vertebrae of the spine. Position data relating to at least four neighbouring vertebrae of the spine is processed. The curvature of the spine at least two of the neighbouring vertebrae is calculated. The different curvature values are computed to obtain a value representative of the degree of irregularity in curvature of the spine and using the degree of irregularity, an estimate of the risk of a future fracture in vertebrae of the spine is provided. A higher degree of irregularity indicates a higher risk of future fracture.06-03-2010

20080243439Sensor exploration and management through adaptive sensing framework - The identification and tracking of objects from captured sensor data relies upon statistical modeling methods to sift through large data sets and identify items of interest to users of the system. Statistical modeling methods such as Hidden Markov Models in combination with particle analysis and Bayesian statistical analysis produce items of interest, identify them as objects, and present them to users of the system for identification feedback. The integration of a training component based upon the relative cost of sampling sensors for additional parameters, provides a system that can formulate and present policy decisions on what objects should be tracked, leading to an improvement in continuous data collection and tracking of identified objects within the sensor data set.10-02-2008
