Abstract: Magnetic separator devices that are useful in separating finely divided solids in the presence of liquids, vapors, and gases that are hazardous, that is, they may be corrosive, flammable, toxic, or a combination of such hazards, and the use of such devices in processes for the manufacture of chlorosilanes.

Abstract: The Open Documentary is a unique, new format for broadcasting video on the internet, a collaborative, navigable, online format which can be watched like TV or explored like the web. An advance from simple webcasting, the Open documentary will enable people to upload video clips and create storyline sequences from fragments of their own and other people's video material. The Open Documentary system will combine and recombine the clips until they are knitted into the fabric of the site. As a result, stories will start to overlap, interlink and branch off from one another in a variety of new directions as each storyline becomes just one part of a diverse narrative tapestry. By providing an interactive forum for stories to unfold, the Open Documentary will evolve into a collaborative space, tackling a landscape of interlocking subjects in a manner far more powerful than any single filmmaker or organisation could manage.

Abstract: A soybean variety designated 93B82, the plants and seeds of soybean variety 93B82, methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing the variety 93B82 with itself or with another soybean plant, and hybrid soybean seeds and plants produced by crossing the variety 93B82 with another soybean line or plant.

Abstract: A soybean variety designated 92B61, the plants and seeds of soybean variety 92B61, methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing the variety 92B61 with itself or with another soybean plant, and hybrid soybean seeds and plants produced by crossing the variety 92B61 with another soybean line or plant.

Abstract: A soybean variety designated 93B41, the plants and seeds of soybean variety 93B41, methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing the variety 93B41 with itself or with another soybean plant, and hybrid soybean seeds and plants produced by crossing the variety 93B41 with another soybean line or plant.

Abstract: For blocking or polishing a natural or synthetic stone having a Mohs hardness greater than about 5, a blocking head has a body, a mounting member which can move vertically with respect to the body, and a rotary spindle driven by a motor. The mounting member is carried by a leaf spring whose position is altered by a parallel linkage whose arm is driven by a motor. In this way, the spring can for soft landing apply an upwards bias opposing the gravitational force of the mass of the mounting member. When the stone is in contact with the scaife, the deflection of the spring measures the force on the stone, and this deflection is detected by an LVDT. Subsequently, the spring can apply a downwards bias to augment the working force. A microprocessor is responsive to the output of the LVDT and controls the motor so that the force applied to the stone complies with a predetermined program.

Abstract: A monitoring tap for accessing signals on bus or tag coaxial cables used to convey signals between a CPU an external devices is described. A circuit board carrying termination resistors for the coaxial cables and high input isolation amplifiers is provided with an input connector that mates with the plug located in the slot that normally receives a terminator. The circuit board has an output connector coupled to the outputs of the isolation networks. A housing partially encloses the circuit board while enabling external access to the output connector. Several embodiments are described.
