Mead acid is an omega-9 fatty acid, first characterized by James F. Mead.[1] Like some other omega-9 polyunsaturated fatty acids animals can make Mead acid de novo. Its elevated presence in the blood is an indication of essential fatty acid deficiency.[citation needed] Mead acid is found in large quantities in cartilage.
Mead acid, also referred to as eicosatrienoic acid, is chemically a carboxylic acid with a 20-carbon chain and three methylene-interrupted cis double bonds. The first double bond is located at the ninth carbon from the omega end. In physiological literature, it is given the name 20:3(n-9). See Fatty Acid#Nomenclature for an explanation of the naming system. In the presence of lipoxygenase, cytochrome p450 or cyclooxygenase Mead acid can form various hydroxy (HETE) and hydoperoxy (HpETE) products .[2]
Two fatty acids, linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, are considered essential fatty acids (EFAs) in humans and other mammals. Both are 18 carbon fatty acids unlike mead acid, which has 20 carbons. Linoleic is an ω-6 fatty acid whereas linolenic is ω-3 and mead is ω-9. One study examined patients with intestinal fat malabsorption and suspected EFA deficiency. They were found to have blood-levels of Mead acid 1263% higher than reference subjects.[3] Under severe conditions of essential fatty acid deprivation, mammals will elongate and desaturate oleic acid to make mead acid, (20:3, n−9).[4] This has been documented to a lesser extent in vegetarians and semi-vegetarians following an unbalanced diet.[5][6]
Mead acid has been found to decrease osteoblastic activity. This may be important in treating conditions where inhibition of bone formation is desired.[7]
Role in inflammation[edit]
Prostaglandin H synthases (also known as COX) are enzymes known to play a large role in inflammatory processes through oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. Most notably, the formation of Prostaglandin H2 from arachidonic acid which is very similar in structure to mead acid. When physiological levels of arachidonic acid are low, other unsaturated fatty acids including mead and linoleic acid are oxidized by COX.
Mead acid is also converted to Leukotrienes C3 and D3.[8]

I really want to see this movie. Which is odd because i'm just not really a movie person, and I don't care for Brad Pitt.
Has anyone seen this yet? I'm wondering just how bloody violent it is. I don't mind violent, but Quentin Tarantino movies are usually pretty bloody, and I can't usually stomach too much of that. I really want to see this, but i'm wondering if I should just wait for the DVD and let my husband screen the movie for me first. lol

Yards out: 88.75
Well since my favorite movies are Hallmark Hall of Fame. someone else might be a better judge. I just send my son and DH to those other kinds, and rent a Sandra Bullock or Meg Ryan..
I've heard that this is by far the most gory violent QT movie ever. Just a head's up.
Yeah, apparently there is scalping in it... I want to see it though. I don't mind bloody as long as it's not in a horror movie. Quentin Tarantino's has never bothered me for some reason.
Two people I know have seen the film. The husband rather liked it. The wife said, 'Trust me; this is not something you want to remember.' Apparently it's really bloody, though there's some indication the mayhem is less gratuitous than usual for a Tarentino movie.
So far, I have found his stuff mostly boring and derivative, relying heavily on the thumping heart you get when seeing extreme gore. Even though Pulp Fiction had its moments, I am not inclined spend money to encourage the silly bugger to produce more drivel.
There are parts of this movie that are quite good: Christoph Waltz as the Nazi Colonel is excellent as is Brad Pitt in his abbreviated role. The music is good; the photography fabulous.
However, there were too many parts that, in my opinion, were not enjoyable. Some violence doesn't bother me if it seems warranted (like a war movie) but this was to the point I was closing my eyes. They were enjoying it too much and I do not care for that. There was one very long boring scene and I started nodding off. It's a long movie. My DH reminded me that it was a Tarentino movie, but ugh.
And, I STILL haven't seen a movie this year that I would vote for being anywhere close to one of the "best". It's been a very disappointing year so far.
I have seen this and it is in many ways the typical Quentin Tarantino film; lots of graphic violence, swearing, and talking (the film is about 2.5+hrs long). The movie also is very heavy on subtitles, easily 3/4 of the film is in german and french (this bothers a few of my friends; they just don't like to read subtitles). I enjoyed it for the photography and some of the acting and the plot but not the violence. I watched those bits with my eyes closed and I opened them when the gunfire stopped and/or the audience stopped gasping.
Funny you should mention "Up" because I almost said it was the best movie we'd seen all year. Yes, it was very entertaining as well as poignant. I sat there with tears in my eyes during the whole first part of the movie! So sweet and yet so sad.
We have tickets to see Inglourious Basterds this weekend--I can report back afterwards. Although, be forewarned that we're both big Tarantino fans. I loved both Kill Bill movies, so while I usually dislike gratuitous violence, Tarantino's stuff is usually so cartoonish that it doesn't bother me at all. (More full disclosure--we have a cat named after "Ash" from the Evil Dead movies.)
I know these were part of last year's Oscar race, but easily the two "best" movies I've seen this year were The Wrestler and Slumdog Millionaire. As far as movies this summer go, Star Trek was a lot of fun, and I loved Julie & Julia. I'd highly recommend Julie & Julia to any of the foodies on this board.

25 year old man | Englewood, CO, USA | Seeking women 19-24 within 50 miles
A man of the world"...in the works ;)
Salut, the name's Tudor. I'm a third year medical student living the American dream. I was born in Romania (but I don't sparkle in sunlight, thank god), raised in France, and then blessed with a chance to live in the US. When I am not working at the hospital, I like to go out to downtown Denver or to my place in Colorado Springs. I use my free time to go out with friends, dine out, hit up the mountains, learn new languages, and dabble in other cultures; AND...the occasional Netflix binge (come on, I'm only human). I tend to take chances and sometimes get burned for them but hell, isn't that how you make great memories? Now, I'm a little culturally confused as I practice the martial art Kendo but am a huge futbal fan and yet I also enjoy a classic backyard BBQ. Every year I'm compelled to travel back to Romania to see my family, reconnect, and take an extra week or two to just go off the grid around Europe. The same quality and effort I put into my education I try to put into the rest of my life; expect a dedicated, driven, and honest individual. Lastly, I value loyalty and appreciation above all else; I wouldn't have made it half this far without the love and support of those around me and as such I try to emulate that same altruism towards people in my life. You've never truly gone out until you've been out with me. I will always open the door, pull the car around for you, walk you to your door, and pay for our dinner. And if you haven't hit the floor laughing at least a few times by the end of the night, I might accidentally have switched languages again... Look, any caveman can take someone out, you should want more than that. You should message me if: -If you are looking for a partner in crime who will support you and push you all at the same time. -If you believe in turning this world into a slightly better one by the time you are through with it. -If you are a girl who knows what she wants in life. Someone who can express herself and carry a good conversation. -If you think that some words on a screen and a few pics really just scrape the surface of most people.

Had a cat but it was eaten by a mountain lion that I tried to chase down (true story)...I made odd decisions as a young kid.
Some other viewpoint
Local coffee shops, bars with fresh local beer, skiing the beautiful Colorado Rockies (Breck, Vail, BC, Mary Jane), most nice places after dark. Theaters, Denver Center for the Performing Arts, and the Denver downtown scene every once in a while.
Boston University, Boston, MA
The Prestige, The Dark Knight, Gladiator, Anchorman and Pulp Fiction. Anything from Led Zep, AC/DC to Disturbed to Tiesto and Armin v Buuren. Rome, Game of Thrones, It's Always Sunny, Big Bang Theory and How I Met your Mother. Sushi. Trips to Europe.
Going out with friends, hitting up a club or bar, a fresh new experience. Good conversation and good drinks. Skiing, driving, and other fast things. Anything to peak my curiosity or adrenaline. Something that challenges my beliefs.
A History of God. It's an in-depth look at the philosophical and spiritual evolution of monotheistic religions, I promise it's way more interesting then that may sound.

text: Mobile Snap a wine label to find where to buy that wine September 29, 2010 12:10 PM Ciara Byrne 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Snooth just launched an iPhone application which uses image recognition to do something genuinely useful (as least to me). If you take a picture of a wine label, Snooth finds the stores closest to you that stock that wine and the prices in each store. You can also read reviews of the wine and find similar bottles by winery, region or varietal. The app uses a specialized image-recognition technology from Canadian startup TinEye. Most wine labels are on a curved surface, so the software must be able to find images that are slightly rotated, warped, cropped, blurred, have skewed colors or have been taken in a location with low lighting like a restaurant. In fact, identifying where to buy that wonderful house wine is one of the main scenarios in which you might use Snooth's app. Others include price comparison when you are in a wine shop. 820,000 wines are searchable via image recognition, and Snooth links to 11,000 wine merchants worldwide. Snooth is not the first company to consider this application for image recognition. The most notable is Google Goggles, but the Goggles database never actually listed a useful number of labels. Snooth Wine Pro is available in the iTunes App Store for $4.99. Users can also install Snooth Wine, a free, ad-supported version. Snooth's core product is a social, wine review site whose business model is based on lead generation and selling data to wineries and wine merchants on where potential customers might be located. Snooth is based in New York and is privately funded. Getting content noticed is a challenge for everyone making apps. We'll cover the topic at DiscoveryBeat 2010. Startups and big companies alike are encouraged to submit their discovery tactics to our Needle in the Haystack competition. Early bird discounts are available until September 22. Sponsors can contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. To buy tickets, click here. VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

It's basically a system of bezel-free devices that can all wirelessly connect and share information, not at all unlike Microsoft's Mobile Device Collaboration patent application we took a gander at last year. The concept video below shows both a sort of tiny mobile PC joining forces with an eminently breakable looking cellphone to share information cross-screens. But, it goes further, with talk of the larger of the two acting as a sort of alarm clock that, when you swat at it in the morning, checks your body temperature to determine how well you slept before barraging you with e-mails and financial reports. Just what you need first-thing in the morning.

The settings page is just text, no way to input any settings.
I'm using Custom Community theme and WPcart plugin, amoung others.
I have the same problem: no way to input any settings (using WordPress 3.0.4 on Altervista.org and Mozilla Firefox).
This is the screen of what I see from the admin panel. There is also a strange error that I was not able to fix.
I don't think this plugin is being tended to anymore, no responces in over a week.
I was actually looking for a gift reg service. Found a nice free one that links to my site so it solved my issue, don't know that this plugin could have served my needs anyway.
I tried to contact the developer via mail, I hope he'll reply soon.
Anyway, did you find a substitute plugin? I don't really get what you mean with 'gift reg'.
It's a gift registry service, not a plugin, nothing to do with WP. It's what I was looking for originally, thought "I Want I Have" would be similar, but I don't know because it never worked for me.
Here's the gift registry service if you or anyone has a similar need.
As far as I know, there are no gift registry plugins for WP. Kinda odd, I thought.
Hi deepbevel,
I think this is simply a case that the current version of WordPress has fundamentally changed since I first developed the plug in. When I started the development I was out of work and had a lot of time on my hands to create plugins like this - however, I am now in full time employment and cannot dedicate enough time to maintain this plugin.
As with all plugins on WordPress - all the code is open source. You are more than welcome to approach another developer on this site and ask if they would take up the maintenance of my code, as it's probably an easy thing to fix.
Sorry I cannot help you on this occasion.
Kind Regards
Daniel Sands
Hey Daniel, thanks for checking in. certianly understandable. I'm glad you're working now, and yes, I suppose if an unsupported plugin is in demand someone will take up development. We shall see.
Sadly, otherwise, it would have been perfect for my business, I was really astonished about the existence of a plugin taylored to my own necessities! And, still sadly, I wouldn't know how to modify the code, I guess I won't have anything like that anymore :(
What are your specific needs, that you thought this plugin might provide? I'm no php guru but may be able to help.
Thanks a lot for your kindeness! My intent was using a button that users could use to notify which of the films in my articles had seen: I thought and hoped that their nickname would have been screened in a specific area of the article just clicking on the button and, perhaps, having a number meter that could add unities at every click on that button. Is it too difficult to realize?
I use a WP like button as part of a gift registry. I just modified the text for the button clicks. It won't record usernames but it counts the button clicks. You could make the text say "I've seen this"
here's what I use
You can customize the messages for the button clicks right in the plugin settings. You can change the image for the button too.

Experienced Marine professional
With a life time of boating and marine trade experience behind him, George Wolff has joined the team at the Paynesville Boat Yard in the capacity as Boatyard Foreman.
In announcing the appointment of George Wolff, the CEO Of Gippsland Ports Nick Murray said that George brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the Paynesville Boat Yard.
'We're very fortunate to have George on the team at Paynesville,' Nick Murray said.
'In a boat yard, experience is everything. And with 40 years working in the marine business at virtually every level, George has seen and solved most problems that crop up at Paynesville.'
'George is a real asset to the Gippsland Ports operation and our customers.'
In his capacity at Boatyard Foreman, George Wolff provides direct and valuable support to Peter Bull, who manages and oversees all five boat yards within the control of Gippsland Ports.
From organising staff, overseeing the workshop work, the quality of work produced by the boat yard, through to managing tradies who come on site to perform work.... and everything in-between, George Wolff has key responsibility.
paynesville straddle lift 02
Prior to commencing with Gippsland Ports, George has lived and worked in Sydney and the south coast of NSW. George's wife Leeann is from Lakes Entrance, so it seemed inevitable that they would at some time head back to the Gippsland Lakes.
'We bought land at Swan Reach and intend to build a new home there. This is a wonderful waterway with a fantastic mixture of commercial and recreational boating,' George said.
'There is so much opportunity here at the Paynesville Boat Yard. All the marine trades and services are really catered for, providing a support network for boaters which is absolutely first rate.'

ARLINGTON, Texas August is historically when the Rangers have wilted, but so far this year the dog days have brought back their old bark. Several of the Rangers' upward trends were evident in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Tigers. They got great pitching from a formerly erratic starter, Yu Darvish. They jumped on the Tigers early, building a 6-0 lead after four innings. And Josh Hamilton hit his 32nd homer to continue his improvement at the plate. After a dreadful July, when the Rangers went 9-14, the Rangers are now 8-3 in August and their AL West lead has swelled to 6 games over second-place Oakland. Manager Ron Washington traces the turnaround to back-to-back losses to the Angels on the last two days of July: a 15-8 romp and a 6-2 smothering. "We got a wakeup call against the Angels," Washington said. "They challenged us and we realized we weren't playing to our capabilities. So we got back focused. "When you get a gut check, and you're a competitor, you do two things: You eit...

"An Excellent Job By Thorne"
There are better and worse audiobook narrators. Thorne is one of the best. His reading does justice to "The Pilgrim of Hate" by Ellis Peters, achieving nuances of humor and tension without sacrificing character. I'll listen to anything he reads.
"Not the best in the series"
The story is nice, but the mystery is not nearly as well developed as others in the series. There are a number of important references to previous books. While these are explained, it would probably not be best for someone to start the series with this book.

Is the 4th of July already coming up this Saturday? Let the rush to get fireworks get started.
Amazing video was captured Sunday, January 4th of a fireworks facility violently exploding as its contents caught fire.
It's a Fourth of July tradition - get the family together, grill up some burgers & dogs, enjoy one of our local festivals or fairs, and then get on a picnic blanket and watch the fireworks that celebrate our country's freedom. Sound good to you? Check out the Nacogdoches and Lufkin celebrations here.
Holiday weekend, 4th of July, Independence Day... You know, FIREWORKS!
2 times a year, I make my way to the fireworks store/stand to make a purchase of things that pop, light up, smoke, sizzle, dazzle, sparkle, streak, and go boom. Usually, when I take a look at the vast array of products, the first two questions that pop in my head are 'What does this do?' and 'How much does it cost'.
This week, Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang put on his largest "explosion event" of the last three years, utilizing microchip-controlled explosives to form incredible designs and patterns. Each set of explosions paints a different picture
What did you do on the fourth of July weekend?
Here are some photos from fun activities at Brookshire Brothers' Freedom Fest in Nacogdoches and a short video of the fantastic 14 minute fireworks display.
The 4th of July is a time for families to celebrate our country's independence. It's a time for parents to take their children to the numerous parades, festivals and firework shows that are scattered throughout the country.

Roy Halladay is a work horse, a proverbial ace and the ultimate big game pitcher; however "The Doc" has struggled with command and owns an inflated earned run average to begin the season. Once arguably the most dominant and consistent pitcher in major league baseball it appears father time may be catching up the 35-year-old hurler. Halladay finished up the 2012 season with an uncharacteristic earned run average of 4.49 in 25 starts after a season that saw the hurler spend time on the disabled list for a shoulder strain. Last season marked the first year that Halladay was not in the Top 5 for CY Young balloting since 2005. Baseball pundits assumed a restful offseason would be what the doctor ordered and Halladay would return true to form in 2013. Not the case, as Halladay was mediocre in spring training and questions arose that perhaps he was injured. Not the case; Halladay began the season as part of the Phillies ageing rotation. In 2 starts Halladay is 0-2 with a monstrous earned r...

Azano loses court skirmish over evidence
Judge rules that Mexican millionaire's request for material involving Sempra not relevant to campaign finance charges
San Diego A Mexican millionaire's defense that Sempra Energy and negligent investigators are to blame for his current charges in a campaign financing scheme lost some steam Monday, with a San Diego federal judge calling his requests for certain evidence irrelevant, overbroad and vague.
José Susumo Azano Matsura — a part-time Coronado resident accused of secretly funneling some $600,000 in illegal donations to the campaigns of former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, and congressman Juan Vargas — had asked prosecutors for volumes of additional material in hopes of uncovering a flawed investigation.
In court papers late last month, Azano's lawyer said aggressive investigators have been after Azano for years on unsubstantiated and "wild" allegations of criminal activity, from drug smuggling to arms trafficking. He said these so-called "rogue" investigators pounced again when Azano got involved helping pay for an Ensenada landowner's fight with Sempra over a gas plant.
Those same investigators, working on behalf of Sempra, are now coming after Azano in the campaign finance case, claimed Azano's lawyer, Knut Johnson.
Assistant U.S. Attorney William Cole argued that the smoking gun just isn't there. "We don't know what they're looking for, other than things we don't believe exist," Cole said.
U.S. District Judge Michael Anello largely denied the request for evidence relating to Sempra as "irrelevant" and "immaterial" to the case.
Azano's lawyer also complained that prosecutors caused irreparable damage to Azano's reputation when they detailed in court papers the many times he popped up in connection with a wide range of criminal investigations, including drug smuggling, tax evasion and illegal immigration. Azano was never arrested or charged in those probes.
"It's almost laughable for the government to try to connect Mr. Azano to 69 pounds of marijuana at the border," Johnson said, referring to the government's mention of an investigation that allegedly traced a load car to the address of Azano's then-wife in 1996. He said the significant publicity may prompt him to ask for a change of venue to find impartial jurors.
Cole told the judge that prosecutors had no intention of revealing the other investigations at this point, but felt they were forced to respond after getting "hit over the head" with Azano's allegations of investigative misconduct. "We feel it was a fair response," Cole said.
The judge agreed that the publicized information may have negative repercussions for Azano and, at the prosecutor's suggestion, ordered that section of the court document be sealed.
Azano's lawyer was less successful at getting at the reason why U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy, the top federal prosecutor in the region, recused herself from the case. Her office has said Duffy didn't believe a conflict of interest existed, but recused herself at the outset to avoid the appearance of one.
Prosecutors stated last week that the reason for her recusal does not matter in this case, and speculation as to why is "a road leading to nowhere." Johnson countered in a motion that the reason does matter and could taint his client's right to a fair trial. "How is the rest of her office … not subject to the same conflict?" he asked.

Creating Nationality in Central Europe, 1880-1950
Modernity, Violence and (Be) Longing in Upper Silesia
By Tomasz Kamusella, James Bjork, Timothy Wilson, Anna Novikov
Routledge – 2016 – 256 pages
Routledge – 2016 – 256 pages
In the immediate aftermath of the First World War, Upper Silesia was the site of the largest formal exercise in self-determination in European history, the 1921 Plebiscite. This asked the inhabitants of Europe's second largest industrial region the deceptively straightforward question of whether they preferred to be Germans or Poles, but spectacularly failed to clarify their national identity, demonstrating instead the strength of transnational, regionalist and sub-national allegiances, and of allegiances other than nationality, such as religion. As such Upper Silesia, which was partioned and re-partitioned between 1922 and 1945, and subjected to Czechization, Germanization, Polonization, forced emigration, expulsion and extermination, illustrates the limits of nation-building projects and nation-building narratives imposed from outside. This book explores a range of topics related to nationality issues in Upper Silesia, putting forward the results of extensive new research. It highlights the flaws at the heart of attempts to shape Europe as homogenously national politics and compares the fate of Upper Silesia with the many other European regions where similar problems occurred.

Excellent flavours and great icecream. Thunder Bay original. The burgers with their special sauce are pretty good too.
Stopped by for a quick burger for lunch. They had a 2 burger special for $8, which worked well for myself and a colleague. The burger itself was decent - quite tasty and flamebroiled, but nothing too special. I had a cheeseburger and my colleague had a Merla Mae burger (which was basically a cheeseburger without cheese). We were offered...
Was in town on business waiting for a bus and decided to get a milkshake while I had to stand and wait, what a great decision that was! Can't wait to come back.
The ice cream at Merla-Mae is very good, and the cones are a very good size, but find they are rather on the expensive side, so only go there about once a summer. The service is very good and the staff seems to be very polite.
Best soft serve, good food too. Has been around FOREVER!! Summer must-visit in Thunder Bay. Twin soft-serve cone is great, really good butterscotch sundae too.
Hi. I first had their chicken sandwich in 1975. I love it.
We went today for the first time this season. I'm not sure if they've changed the supplier, but the chicken burger seemed to be of poor quality.
Both my husband & I threw away some of the french fries. We used to like them. Today they didn't taste...
Thunder Bay is not the place for good meat I guess. I don't know what their burger patties are made from, but it's not 100% beef, that's for sure. The ultimate burger came fresh and hot. The bun was great but we threw away the meat after a couple of bites, yuck. Thankfully the fries were perfect and the milk...
It's on Memorial Drive and constantly busy. But worth the wait, the shakes were creamy and my cheeseburger heavenly! Exactly what was needed after a long day of driving and exploring.
New hard ice cream has ground persians in it. Does it get better than homemade ice cream on a hot summer's day? Have heard the gelato is also fantastic.
Not bad but not great. I love the root beer milkshake but their banana split is a disappointment and a tastier one can be found at Dairy Queen.

A metallic identifying tag for allowing later identification of a non-metallic object. The identifying tag is of a circular or oblong cross-section and has a plurality of spaced grooves cut along the surface thereof. In addition, holes may be provided through the center of the tag in conformance with a predetermined pattern which thus forms a profile readily identifiable by means of x-ray equipment. In this manner, while the tag remains implanted within the object it may be inspected and the coded pattern interpreted and the history of the object containing the tag thus ascertained.
1. An identifying tag for implanting in small animals including fish to aid in determining the movement thereof from one habitat to another and which is identifiable by means of X-ray equipment, which comprises a solid one piece generally uniformly shaped metallic elongated member being of a length sufficiently small so as to render said member suitable for implantation into an animal, said metallic member having a substantially oblong cross-sectional shape to facilitate orientation of said tag when implanted in said animal and a longitudinal length significantly greater than the maximum cross-sectional width thereof suitable for maintaining sufficient data storage capacity on said tag, said metallic elongated member having cut in its outer surface a plurality of spaced grooves at least some of which extend only partially about the non-circular peripheral surface of said elongated member to form a predetermined fixed format binary coding system which includes an indexing means to define the reading direction of the coded grooves, said grooves being of a sufficient depth such that in profile each of said grooves is readily identifiable as being transparent as distinguished from opaque by means of X-ray equipment while said tag remains implanted in said animal.
2. An identifying tag in accordance with claim 1 wherein the base portion of each of said plurality of grooves being of a substantially semi-circular shape and having at the surface of said metallic elongated member a width of approximately one-half the smaller cross-sectional width of said metallic elongated member.
3. An identifying tag in accordance with claim 1 wherein said metallic elongated member further has a plurality of perforations extending through the surface of said metallic elongated member.
4. An identifying tag in accordance with claim 3 wherein said perforations are of a substantially circular shape.
5. An identifying tag in accordance with claim 1 wherein said substantially oblong cross-section includes at least two pair of opposed surfaces which comprise one pair of opposed flat substantially parallel surfaces and another pair of opposed surfaces outwardly curved with a common radius of curvature determined from the longitudinal axis of said metallic elongated member.
6. An identifying tag in accordance with claim 1 wherein said metallic elongated member is composed of a material which is capable of being magnetized.
7. An identifying tag in accordance with claim 1 wherein said plurality of grooves further includes at least one groove disposed adjacent the end of said elongated member cut into said metallic elongated member to a depth greater than the depth of said remaining grooves so as to provide an index to define the reading direction of the coded grooves.
This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 845,944 filed Oct. 27, 1977 now abandoned, which itself is a continuation of application Ser. No. 671,530, filed Mar. 29, 1976, now abandoned.
This invention pertains generally to an apparatus which includes identifying indicia readily readable without removing it from the object sought to be identified.
In my earlier U.S. Pat. No. 3,545,405 issued on Dec. 8, 1970, there is described an apparatus for investigating the migratory habits of macro-organisms and more specifically one wherein the identifying tag contains along the surface thereof coded information. This coded information is in the form of a predetermined pattern which is imparted on the surface of the body by a high energy heat source such as by focusing laser pulses in a predetermined pattern on the surface of the body. Although this particular identifying tag has been highly successful in its usage, certain instances exist where a more desirable form of identifying tag might be utilized.
The identifying tag described in my earlier issued patent has been used extensively in conjunction with investigating the migratory habits of Pacific Coast salmon. When such an identifying tag is applied to investigating the migratory habits of Atlantic Coast salmon certain drawbacks have been encountered. For instance, in the case of the identifying tag described in my earlier patent, it has been necessary to excise the implanted tag before decoding could be accomplished. In other words, removal of the tag from the salmon is necessary in order to properly decode the information contained thereon. In the case of Atlantic Coast salmon, where generally only a limited quantity are recovered, this requires destruction and loss of the specimen which is disadvantageous. Also, there are certain other instances wherein a tag which could be read, i.e., the information thereon decoded, while still within the body of the object is advantageous and desirable. By the means disclosed herein, such a system is provided which allows for all the advantages of my previously disclosed system and yet which does not necessitate removal of the identifying tag in order to obtain the coded information imparted thereon.
Briefly stated, the invention disclosed herein includes an identifying tag which is adapted for implanting in a non-metallic object for the purpose of later identifying the object by means of x-ray equipment while the tag remains implanted within the object. The tag is in the form of a metallic elongated member having a circular or oblong cross-section and having a length significantly greater than the cross-sectional width thereof.
In the case of an oblong cross-section, the identifying tag has a plurality of grooves spaced from one another and cut into the outer surface of the tag so as to render the tag readable by means of x-ray equipment while implanted in a non-metallic object. In one preferred embodiment, the oblong cross-section has two opposite parallel surfaces contiguous at their edges with two outwardly curved surfaces. The base of the grooves are semicircularly shaped to form notches cut into the curved surfaces to a depth of one-quarter of the diameter of the notches. End notches which are cut deeper than the remaining notches provide an index defining the beginning of a code. In addition, holes can be cut through the parallel surfaces to increase the informational capacity of the tag. Optimal readability of the tag profile is obtained by viewing the tag transversely to the plane of the central spacing between the edges.
In the case of the circular cross-section, a plurality of cut grooves are spaced from one another and extend about the circumference of the cylindrical member such that in profile, each of the grooves is readily identifiable by means of x-ray equipment. In one embodiment, the grooves are rings having a diameter equal to one-half that of the circular cross-section and cut to a depth of one-quarter of the circular cross-sectional diameter.
In all cases, identification may be made while the tag remains implanted in the non-metallic object.
The tag is particularly suitable for implanting within the body of fish to aid in investigating their migratory habits. In the embodiment with an oblong cross-section having two parallel surfaces with their edges contiguous to outwardly curved surfaces, the tag has a cross-sectional maximum width of 0.016" and a minimum of 0.010" with the curved surfaces 0.008" distant from the longitudinal axis of the tag. The tag has an overall length of at least 0.045". Such a size and length has been found particularly suitable biologically for implanting within the body of the fish near the snout. The tag includes a plurality of cut notches spaced from one another, with the notch centerline to centerline distance being approximately 0.005" or about one-half the minimal cross-sectional length. The notches extend along the curved surfaces of the tag such that in profile, they are readily identifiable by means of x-ray equipment. Additionally, holes can be cut in the central spacing on the parallel surfaces.
The tag having a circular cross-section is of a size approximately 0.010" or larger in diameter and has a length of at least 0.040". Such a size and length has been found particularly suitable for implanting within the body of the fish. The tag includes a plurality of cut grooves spaced from one another, with the grooves being 0.005" in diameter and cut into the tag to a depth approximately equal to the radius of the groove. The grooves are spaced from one another and extend about the circumference of the cylindrical member such that in profile, they are readily identifiable by means of x-ray equipment.
Thus, the identifying tag of this invention includes a large amount of coded information so as to allow a large number of objects within which the tag is implanted to be identified. Moreover, the identification may readily be accomplished while the tag remains implanted within the object thus eliminating the necessity for excising the tag prior to decoding.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide an improved identifying tag which is adapted to be read while remaining implanted within the object.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved identifying tag which may be implanted into the body of an organism under study and which may be decoded while remaining therein.
A further object of this invention is to provide an identifying tag which is suitable for usage in conjunction with identifying non-metallic objects and which may be read and decoded by means of x-ray equipment.
Yet a further object of this invention is to provide an identifying tag suitable for implantation in a known orientation without rotation thereby permitting coding in a known plane.
Yet a further object of this invention is to provide an identifying tag with increased informational capacity.
These and other objects, advantages and features of the invention will become more apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiment taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an identifying tag in conformance with this invention;
FIG. 2 is an elevational view of a fish having the identifying tag of this invention implanted therein;
FIG. 3 is an elevational view of a first embodiment of the identifying tag of FIG. 1 illustrating its shape in profile;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of another embodiment of an identifying tag according to the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a top elevational view of the identifying tag of FIG. 4; and
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the identifying tag of FIG. 4 taken along line 6--6 of FIG. 5.
With reference to the drawings, the identifying tag indicated generally at 10 and 20, which has circular and oblong cross-sections respectively, has its size dictated by the information density which may be successfully decoded with the x-ray technique. That density is such that in the case of fish, the use of three different lengths of tags in the system is preferred.
For tag 10 having a 0.010" or larger diameter such as 0.014" and made of stainless steel wire, lengths of 0.040", 0.060" and 0.080" are preferred to be used simultaneously in the system and have the following information capacities. The smallest size tag has the capacity for 64 different numbers, the intermediate length 1,024 different numbers and the longest 16,384.
According to the present invention and as shown in FIG. 1, the information capacity is provided on the tag 10 by means of a plurality of grooves 11 spaced from one another. The spaced grooves 11 are in ring form having a 0.005" diameter and are preferably cut to a depth of 0.0025". The grooves spaced around the periphery of the identifying tag 10 are located at predetermined positions and allow for the interpreting of the presence or absence of a ring at a given position as a binary number, 1 or 0 respectively. The ring spacing chosen is half of the wire diameter, i.e., 0.005". Two positions are reserved for an index bar which defines the reading direction and starting point with the remaining positions available as the number. E.g., the 0.040" tag has 8 positions on its length, two reserved, six available for data. Since each position can have either of two values, ring or no ring, interpreted as 1 or 0, the data capacity is 26 or 64 combinations. Similarly, for the tags having a greater length, the data capacity is increased as indicated previously.
The identifying tag 20 comprises a metallic elongated member having an oblong cross-section thereby resulting in curved surfaces 27, 28 and substantially flat parallel surfaces 25 and 26 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6. Information grooves are provided in the form of notches 21 spaced and cut into each of the curved surfaces 27, 28, each surface thus being provided with different information coding. End notches 22 which are cut deeper into the curved surfaces 27, 28 than are the information notches 21 provide an index defining the code reading order. Perforations 23 can be cut through the surface spacing between the two rows of notches and thereby increase the information density. In order to maintain structural integrity, the holes 23 are cut off center from the central axis of the oppositely positioned notches 11 as shown in FIG. 5.
Information capacity is provided on the identifying tag 20 by means of the plurality of notches 21 spaced from one another. The notches 21 are arranged at predetermined positions and allow for the interpreting of the presence or absence of a notch 21 at a given position as binary number, 1 or 0 respectively, similarly to that for rings 11 for tag 10. In one preferred embodiment, shown in FIG. 5, space is provided for seven notches 21 along either curved surface 27, 28 as well as for two end notches 22. Six holes 23 may be positioned between the rows of notches 21. Since each position can have either of two values, notch or no notch (hole or no hole), interpreted as 1 or 0, the data capacity for either curved surface is 27 or 128 while that for the holes 12 is 26 or 64 combinations. Therefore, a tag 20 as shown in FIG. 5 has a total information capacity of 220 or 1,048,576 codes.
In the case of use with fish, three lengths are preferred, all made of a stainless steel wire having an oblong cross-section with a smaller cross-sectional width of 0.010" and a larger cross-sectional width of 0.016". The curved surfaces are each 0.008", from the longitudinal axis of tag 20. Tags of lengths 0.045", 0.065" and 0.085" are preferred to be used simultaneously in the system and have information notch capacities respectively along a given edge of 7, 11 and 15. The latter two tag lengths provide proportionally increased data capacity by a factor of 4,096 and 16,777,216 respectively as compared to the data capacity for the smallest tag length. If a standard distance between successive central axes of notches 21 is taken as one-half the minimal cross-sectional width of the tag, then for a 0.010" width the notch axis separation distance becomes 0.005". Tags of even greater length will accommodate more notches 21 along a given curved surface 27, 28 and correspondingly more holes 23 in the tag central spacing thereby providing for greater information capacity.
The spaced notches 21 are preferably semicircular at least at the base portion although other shapes and geometry may be utilized to provide even further information storage capacity on the tag. For use in other animals, tags 10 and 20 are provided in various sizes dependent upon the biological suitability.
Grooves 11 and notches 21, 22 and holes 23 are preferably cut by means of rotary spark discharge machinery wherein the grooves 11 and notches 21, 22 are formed by spark erosion of the wire surface. Alternatively, the grooves 11, notches 21, 22 and holes 23 may be cut by means of a conventional diamond or carbide tool. The grooves 11, notches 21, 22 and holes 23 might also take a square or triangular shape which shape is such that it is readily identifiable when viewed in profile.
Once the tag is coded in accordance with the predetermined relationship, it is implanted into the snout or head portion of the salmon. This is illustrated in FIG. 2. Successful implantation of this nature might be best accomplished by employing the implanting machine disclosed in my earlier U.S. Pat. No. 3,820,545 issued on June 28, 1974. The identifying tags 10 and 20 are preferably fabricated of type 302 stainless steel. This material has been found to have the requisite magnetic characteristics for detection so as to make a preliminary determination that the recovered animal has an implanted identifying tag. Subsequently when the animal has been recovered and it being determined as having an identifying tag 10 or 20 implanted therein, a portable x-ray unit may be employed and the identifying tag may be viewed while remaining within the body of the animal. In profile, the identifying tag will appear as depicted in FIG. 2 in the case of fish and the particular grouping of grooves 11 or notches 21, 22 and holes 23 may be readily ascertained and the history of the fish and its migratory habits may then be determined.
By way of example, consider the tag of FIG. 5 as implanted in the snout of a fish depicted in FIG. 2. Assuming that face 30 is inserted into the snout and that by convention the code will read starting at the face farthest into the fish, here face 30, and beginning with the notches bounded between the end notches 22, in such instance the code would read as 0011101, 110101 for the holes 23, and finally 1110100 for the notches 21 extending along curved surface 28 and not bounded by end notches 22.
Both the circular and oblong cross-section of tags 10 and 20 respectively have definite functional advantages. Reading of the tag 10 within a fish, or animal is possible without regard to orientation of tag 10. However, tag 20 with an oblong cross-section provides for fixed orientation upon implantation, and therefore fish or animals can then be examined under a given orientation with assurance that a complete code will be read.
In addition to the utility of this invention in conjunction with macro-organisms as described, it has also been found that numerous problems exist in other areas where such identifying tags might also be used to advantage. For instance, a manufacturer of wood products has a need to determine whether or not a certain product is one of its own at some later date. Frequently, the question arises many years later as to the identity of the manufacturer of a certain component utilized in the structure of a building. Under some present practices, manufacturers of laminated beams inscribe identifying marks on the ends of the beam or elsewhere for the purposes of latter identification. However, such a system has proven inadequate in that the ends are frequently cut off or destroyed during construction. Even when this does not occur, these identifying marks generally cannot be located and read without at least partially dismantling the structure and removing the particular beam in question. Identification in such instances might however, be made without these prior art difficulties by utilizing the means disclosed herein.
By following the teachings disclosed herein, under such circumstances, the tags are fabricated in a slightly larger size than those heretofore described and include notches and perforations shaped and formed generally in the same manner previously described. For a laminated wooden beam, such identifying tag is preferably in the form of a short nail which is ultimately nailed and thus embedded into the beam, and if necessary the wooden beams can later be identified by means of the coded tag or nail embedded therein. Preferably, the nail is of a size of approximately 0.125" in maximum diameter and approximately 1.5 to 2.0 inches long. The grooves 11, notches 21, 22 and holes 23 are cut and located in the manner previously described to thus incorporate the coded information onto the nail. For this size nail, the grooves 11 or notches 21, 22 and holes 23 are preferably a 0.025" semicircle or square. The nail type tag may then be embedded in the laminated beam by nailing in the conventional manner generally at a predetermined location, for instance, one-third the distance from the end of the beam, in a predetermined orientation. Thereafter, when it becomes necessary to identify the beam, the decoding takes place while the nail or tag remains within the beam by utilizing a portable x-ray machine. Thus, the utility of this invention encompasses numerous non-metallic objects into which the tag or nail might be embedded without causing destruction of the particular object. It is therefore readily seen, that by utilizing the identifying tag as disclosed herein, products might later be identified simply by subjecting them to an x-ray viewing and then decoding the particular information on the identifying tag or nail contained therein.
Other modifications, variations of the invention as hereinbefore set forth may be made without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, and therefore, only such limitations should be imposed as are indicated in the appended claims.

The Air Bleed System (ABS) is an in-line air pressure release valve built into Lezyne Flip-Thread Chucks and Flex Hoses.
When using an ABS equipped Lezyne floor pump to inflate a Presta valve tube, pressing the ABS button releases the air back pressure. Releasing this back pressure allows for the easy removal of the Flip-Thread Chuck without the risk of unscrewing removable Presta valve cores.
When inflating Schrader valve tubes, pressing the ABS button releases air from the tube to adjust tire pressure. ABS is patent pending worldwide.
