Abstract: Method and apparatus for locating an intruding radio frequency signal in a wireless network. Relative distance measurements are computed between pairs of receivers from a plurality of receivers to the source of the intruding signal based on received signal strength. Loci of possible locations are plotted, points of intersection are determined, and a clustering algorithm is applied, yielding the location of the source of the intruding signal. The invention is distinguished in that its operation does not require knowledge of either the transmitted power or antenna gain of the intruding signal source.

Abstract: A single-stage process for drying and grinding of wet processed food material in a single unit operation in a continuous short duration manner. The granulated food product obtained from the single-stage treatment of wet processed food is suitable for re-use in food production lines.

Abstract: Novel water ionization devices are described and claimed. The inventive device comprises an outer tube formed of or having an inner metal liner, a second tube formed of metal and housed within the outer tube, and an innermost tube formed of metal and housed within the second tube. The second and innermost tubes include a plurality of holes drilled through their respective walls. The device has an water inlet end whereby water is forced, under pressure, into the device. As the water enters the innermost tube, it is forced out through the holes of the innermost and second tubes and against the metal walls of all three tubes, to cause chemical reactions to occur that dissociates the water molecules, thereby causing an increase concentration of hydroxyl ions. The ionized water is an excellent oxidizers for use in removing hydrocarbon contaminants from soil, for example.

Abstract: Generally, the present invention (referred to also as the “suspension system”) is incorporated in a system for suspending an HVAC unit from one or more wood truss members through the use of one or more top lock plates connected to the wood truss, one or more bottom lock plates connected to the HVAC unit, and one or more suspension chains connected between the top lock plates and the bottom lock plates. The suspension system provides a system for suspending HVAC equipment in residential and light commercial applications that is safer, quicker, cheaper, more reliable and more accurate than systems currently in use.

Abstract: A one-dish frozen dinner product having an integral bread ring is provided. A method for making a one-dish frozen dinner product having an integral bread ring is also provided. The one-dish frozen dinner product preferably includes a receptacle containing the one-dish frozen dinner product, a baking shield upstanding above the receptacle, and a shipping carton. Even more preferably, the baking shield is placed at the bottom of the receptacle containing the one-dish frozen dinner product and is configured for a nesting fit. The baking shield may have either a frustoconical sidewall or a concave trough-like sidewall.

Abstract: A table 2 is provided with a table top 4 and adjustable legs 6. The adjustable legs 6 are pivotally attached to the table top 4. An adjuster 10 is pivotally attached to the adjustable leg 6 and the table top 4 to independently allow the angle and height of each of the adjustable legs 6 to be altered such that the table top 4 may be levelled on uneven ground.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for forming IQF shreds of mozzarella cheese into a bead form and depositing the bead on the periphery of a pizza crust for forming a pizza with a cheese stuffed rim. The IQF shreds are heated and then extruded to form the bead placed on the crust periphery via a high speed extrusion head. Heating and extrusion techniques are disclosed that work the IQF shreds into an extrudable mass or paste that, although lacking the desired stringiness quality, reconstitutes upon baking such that stringiness comparable to more expensive string mozzarella cheese is achieved.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cementing a casing string utilizes a port collar which may be hydraulically opened and mechanically closed, and permits the passage of downhole tools through the port collar, without opening the port collar.

Abstract: There is disclosed an assembly of parts for use in cementing a casing string in a well bore comprising a float collar connectible as part of the string, a cement plug lowerable onto the collar, and a wiper plug lowerable onto the cement plug, the lower end of the cement plug having threads for limited make-up with threads on the upper end of the collar and the lower end of the wiper plug having threads for limited make-up with the cement plug, so as to limit rotation between them.

Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for use in placing cement within the annulus between a casing string and a well bore in which the casing string is suspended, such apparatus including a stage collar connectible as part of the casing string and having a packing element mounted thereon and adapted to be inflated into engagement with the well bore, one or more side ports through which cement may be circulated into the annulus above the packer, tubular members or sleeves for opening and closing the ports following inflation of the packing element.

Abstract: Detection of bindable substances such as antibodies and antigens using enzyme linked immunosorbent assays having particular utility in home diagnostic applications. The preferred implementation of the invention is characterized by the steps of admixing a sample suspected of containing the bindable substance to be detected with an antibody-enzyme conjugate, immersing an antibody coated solid support into the mixture and then exposing the coated support to an activated chromogenic solution. The conjugate for use in the home diagnostic assay is preferably contained within a lyophilized mixture. The lyophilized mixture contains components which preserve the antibody-conjugate's reactivity and immunologic binding specificity even if the lyophilized mixture had been subjected to hot, humid environmental conditions. Active components in the lyophilized mixture include polyethylene glycol, sugars, and surfactant.

Abstract: A re-entry cementing float shoe for use with sonar/TV underwater guide systems is a short inner and outer cylindrical housing members in concentric spaced relationship forming an annular space therebetween with a cementing core filling said annular space, said inner housing has its top below the top of the outer housing, the upper inner surface of the cement forming a taperal lining cone, the bottom of the cone ending at the top of the inner housing and the top of the cement cone ending at the inner surface of the outer housing below an inner top portion of the outer housing, said portion having an attachment means for accepting and attaching to a casing pipe.
