  • Patent number: 7276535
    Abstract: A low effective dose of a biologically acceptable chemical sterilant is injected into the dorsal cranial portion of a scrotal testis of a male animal for the purpose effecting sterilization of the animal. The injection of the chemical sterilant into the dorsal cranial portion has an effect on the epithelium of the tubuli recti, rete testis and ductus efferentes in addition to stopping spermatogenesis in the seminiferous tubules.

  • Patent number: 7125385
    Abstract: An instrument for measuring the size of a testis has a pair of relatively displaceable jaws with testis contacting surfaces. The spacing between the jaws is displayed on a scale calibrated to a recommenced dose of a chemical sterilant at a given concentration for the testis measured for sterilizing a male animal having scrotal testes. The instrument is used to determine the appropriate dose to be administered the animal, each testis of which should be independently measured as the size of the testicles may different in the same animal.

  • Patent number: 6506223
    Abstract: A fuel pellet is produced by the combination of organic waste material with a binder obtained by direct liquefaction and/or fast pyrolysis of biomass material. Direct liquefaction and fast pyrolysis are carried out according to known liquefaction processes. The liquefied bio-binder base is mixed with additives, if desired, such as petroleum asphalt and cross-linking agents, in order to modify its characteristics to meet specific needs of particular applications, and the resulting mixture is mixed with organic-waste material preheated to 100° C. or more and allowed to react at about 150-200° C. Combustible extenders and fillers, reinforcing fibers, and cross-linking agents may be mixed with the organic material or the bio-binder base to provide additional specific properties to the mixture. The resulting well mixed mass is then pelletized or otherwise molded in conventional equipment.

  • Patent number: 5916826
    Abstract: A coal agglomerate is produced by the combination of coal fines with a binder obtained by the direct liquefaction of biomass material. The direct liquefaction is carried out in the absence of oxygen at typical temperatures between about 450 and 700.degree. F. and typical pressures between 200 and 3,000 psi, according to known liquefaction processes. The liquefied bio-binder base is mixed with additives, if desired, such as fast pyrolysis tars and petroleum asphalt, in order to modify its characteristics to meet specific needs of particular applications, and the resulting mixture is sprayed on coal fines preheated to at least 250.degree. F. and allowed to react at about 300-400.degree. F. Combustible extenders and fillers; reinforcing fibers; and cross-linking agents may be mixed with the coal prior to combination with the binder to provide additional specific properties to the mixture. The resulting well mixed mass is then pelletized by the application of pressure in conventional equipment.

  • Patent number: 5623926
    Abstract: A handheld electrocardiogram monitor with electrodes mounted on swing arms which are rotatably mounted on the bottom case of the ECG monitor housing, to which the swing arms are frictionally engaged and also engaged by means of a detent mechanism which includes a combination of detent grooves and ball spring plungers. The grooves are provided with 60.degree. spacing on standoffs mounted on the swing arm, and the ball plungers are mounted on the bottom case of the monitor in positions 90.degree. apart about the rotational axis. The 60.degree. phasing of the grooves combines with the 90.degree. spacing of the plungers to provide 30.degree. indexing.
