  • Methods and systems for inferring traits to breed and manage non-beef livestock
    Publication number: 20050153317
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing non-beef livestock subjects in order to maximize their individual potential performance and the value of a product from the non-beef livestock subjects, and to maximize profits obtained in marketing the non-beef livestock subjects. The methods and systems draw an inference of a trait of a non-beef livestock subject by determining the nucleotide occurrence of at least one non-beef livestock SNP that is determined to be associated with the trait.

  • Suture reel dispenser with end of suture indicator
    Publication number: 20030025023
    Abstract: A dispenser for suture, including a suture reel on which the suture is mounted and an indicator that the suture is soon to be depleted. The indicator can be a visual marking on the suture, or it can be an audible and/or vibratory effect obtained by the dispenser housing interacting with the suture through one or more view ports or by interaction of a follower cam with the reel structure as the suture becomes depleted.

  • Method of loading hydrogen halide onto an adsorbent to enable removal of lead impurities from liquid hydrocarbons
    Patent number: 5952541
    Abstract: Lead impurities are removed from a liquid hydrocarbon stream by contacting the hydrocarbon stream with an adsorbent, which has been prepared by contacting the adsorbent with an organohalide under conditions which cause the organohalide to decompose; thus, producing an adsorbent containing hydrogen halide.

  • Method and apparatus for testing the quality of fruit
    Patent number: 5811680
    Abstract: A method of testing the quality of a fruit including applying a dynamic impact force to the fruit, detecting the mechanical response of the fruit to the dynamic force via a piezoelectric film transducer supported on a displaceable resilient base member such that the film transducer is bent by the dynamic impact force, to induce a strain in the film transducer, and the film transducer outputs an electrical signal corresponding to the change of the induced strain in the film transducer caused by the dynamic force and analyzing the electrical signal to indicate the quality of the fruit. Apparatus for carrying out the method is also described and claimed.
