  • Patent number: 8457799
    Abstract: An automatic gated-pipe actuator for controlling flow of an irrigation material to an agricultural region through an irrigation gate in a gated-irrigation pipe. The automatic gated-pipe actuator includes a gate valve for coupling to the gated-irrigation pipe, a gate actuator removably coupled to the gate valve and for actuating the gate valve and an automatic gated pipe gate control unit for controlling actuation of the gate valve. The control unit has a processor unit communicatively coupled to the gate actuator. Upon instruction from the gate control unit, the gate actuator will actuate and alter the disposition of the gate valve thereby altering the flow of irrigation material through the irrigation gate and to a portion of the agricultural region adjacent the irrigation gate.

  • Publication number: 20100324744
    Abstract: An automatic flow control actuator having a weather resistant housing affixed to a transmission pipe or tubing to selectively control the flow of a fluid or gas to a discharge orifice via a valving mechanism connected to a control unit that controls the flow control actuator to move the valving mechanism variably between an open flow position and a closed no flow position. In one embodiment an automatic gated-pipe actuator is disclosed having a base plate affixed to an irrigation pipe, a weather resistant automatic gated pipe gate control unit case affixed to the base plate, a automatic gated pipe gate control unit disposed within the case, an irrigation valve and a mechanical actuator operably coupled to the gate control unit and to the irrigation valve wherein the mechanical actuator will actuate and alter the disposition of the irrigation valve to an open or closed position.

  • Publication number: 20080248163
    Abstract: A butter related food product comprising a water component and a hydrocolloid dietary fiber component with a butter component. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the water component and the dietary fiber component are mixed to form a hydrocolloid mixture, and this mixture is in turn mixed with the butter component. Inulin as a dietary fiber is utilized in many instances. The butter related product can advantageously be used in various food recipes where there is butter and also sugar as two of the components. The actual butter fraction would be substituted for all or part of the butter in the recipe, and also the sweetness provided by the inulin would reduce all or part of the sugar in the recipe. In another embodiment the buttermilk MFGM that is derived from churning the cream that is being processed in a butter churn is able to function as the water component of the mixture.

  • Patent number: 5969607
    Abstract: A portable door lock and alarm is adapted to connected to the hinge carried between a door and a doorjamb. The portable door lock and alarm provides an enclosure housing a lock mechanism which includes a claw defining small and large hinge passages adapted to surround small or large door hinges. A bolt, extending from the claw and through the enclosure, is threaded onto a knob. After attachment of the claw to the hinge, rotation of the knob retracts the claw into the enclosure, increasing the pressure between the door and doorjamb and the enclosure. An attempt to open the door will increase the pressure on the enclosure; however, in a typical application, the door will crack, break or deform before the enclosure of the lock is crumpled. A circuit provides a switch that is closed if an attempt is made to open the door, thereby resulting in activation of an annunciator.

  • Patent number: 5875275
    Abstract: A fiber optic radiation transmission system is provided in which an optical fiber and a radiation source are connected to establish optical communication therebetween. Additionally, a connecting system is provided for connecting an optical fiber and a radiation source such that optical communication is established therebetween. The systems include a connector which carries the optical fiber therein. The connector is extendable within the system toward the radiation source to bring the optical fiber into optical communication with the radiation source. More particularly, the systems are configured in such a way that when the connector is extended sufficiently within the system, it seats the optical fiber relative to the radiation source under bias, thereby establishing a reliable optical connection. Once the optical connection is thus established, the connector engages a connection port associated with the radiation source to secure the system in a fully connected configuration appropriate for use.

  • Patent number: 5351121
    Abstract: A Fourier Transform Raman Spectrometer system includes a folded V laser cavity. A first leg of the folded V laser cavity is defined by a highly reflective end mirror and a dichroic fold mirror and a second leg of the folded V laser cavity is defined by the fold mirror and an output coupler. A solid-state laser gain medium is disposed in the first leg of the folded V laser cavity and is pumped by a pump source aligned with the optical path of the first leg of the laser cavity and radiating through the fold mirror. The fold mirror is highly transmissive at the wavelength of pump radiation from the pump source and highly reflective at the laser output wavelength. An output beam from the laser is passed through a tuneable filter comprising an acousto-optic device and is directed at a sample to be analyzed. Light reflected from the sample is directed to a Raman Spectrometer for analysis.
