Abstract: Systems, methods and devices for converting existing ice resurfacers to reuse collected ice and snow for further ice resurfacing. The systems, methods and devices allows for efficient, clean and environmental friendly ice resurfacing. The conversion includes the modification and/or replacement of the snow dump tank, main water tank and the installing of heating and power systems. This invention is designed for present machines and for incorporation into future manufacturing of ice resurfacers. While reducing the requirement for large amounts of fresh water, the surface water being pre-heated by two commercial hot water tanks, it also reduces the amount of labour and costs associated with ice resurfacing.

Abstract: A rotary reciprocating acoustic transducer for producing sound in response to an applied electrical signal has a ported tubular housing having a generally cylindrical chamber with an interior lumen which is generally symmetrical about a central axis and opposing first and second linear reciprocating electrodynamic motors mounted over the tubular housing member's first and second open end, with a reciprocating rotatable transducer vane assembly with first and second rotating vanes projecting radially away from a central, axially aligned shaft driven by the first and second linear reciprocating motors.

Abstract: Isolated DNAs encoding a mammalian c-mer receptor which exhibits c-mer protooncogene activity and tyrosine kinase activity are disclosed. Also disclosed are vectors containing such DNAs, host cells containing such DNAs, c-mer receptor proteins, and soluble axl receptors, chimeric proteins including the extracellular domain of the c-mer receptor and DNAs encoding such chimeric proteins, and antibodies which specifically bind the c-mer receptor.
