Patent EP-0754408-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SMITH DAVID W
IPC: A23B4/28
Filed: 1996-07-10
Abstract: A meat injection machine (10) has a fluid manifold (34) with a plurality of fluid reservoirs (38), and a group of injection needles (68) associated with each reservoir. Each needle (68) is slidably mounted in a stripper tube (62) which in turn is slidably mounted in the fluid manifold (34). A valve (94) on the upper end of the stripper tube seats on a valve seat (93) on the upper end of the needle. A stripper pad (76) is mounted on the lower end of each stripper tube (62) and slidably embraces the lower end of each needle (68). Each fluid reservoir (38) has a fluid pressure regulator (56) to adjust fluid pressure on each reservoir. The method of injecting fluid into meat entails weighing the meat product, injecting it with fluid, weighing the injected meat product, comparing that weight with a target weight, and adjusting the fluid pressure in each reservoir (38) so that the next meat product will have its injected weight adjusted towards the target weight if a weight variance with the target weight exists with respect to the first injected meat product.

Abstract: To guarantee quick and free-of-overshoot rise up of welding current for any resistance welding machines and for any welding operations. The combination of a current sensor 30, a primary current measuring circuit 32, an analog-to-digital converter 34. a CPU 38 and an inverter driver circuit 36 defines a pulse-width-modulation constant-current control circuit for an inverter resistance welding machine involved. The constant-current control circuit includes a feedback loop and controls switching (PWM operation) of an inverter circuit 18 so as to generally maintain a primary current I 1  near a selected current value [Is]. According to programs stored in ROM 40. CPU 38 performs required processing. In particular, when a maximum allowable current value of the resistance welding machine involved has been entered and a selected current value of a particular welding operation has been entered. CPU 38 computes an initial pulse width of a control pulse CP from the maximum allowable current value and the selected current value. In a first cycle of the welding operation, CPU 38 supplies a first control pulse CP 1  having the initial pulse width to the inverter circuit 18 to thereby start the welding operations. The initial control pulse width is determined as a function of a machine current capacity and the desired current level of a welding operation, and may be made in proportion to a relative magnitude (ratio) of the desired current to the machine current capacity. In the subsequent cycles of the welding operation. CPU 38 reads the measured current value of each cycle and compares with selected current value to compute the deviatio of the measured current value. Based on the deviation, CPU determines a next pulse width in order that the deviation will be cancelled.

Abstract: The invention is a battery management circuit and corresponding method for controlling the in-circuit charge and discharge of series-connected electrochemical cells. The invention finds particular application in the field of devices powered by rechargeable alkaline manganese dioxide cells, but also finds application in other types of chargers, devices and electrochemical cells or batteries. The battery management circuit of the invention monitors the voltage of individual series-connected cells that power a device. The circuit terminates discharge of all cells as soon as the voltage of one of the cells drops to a predetermined level. During in-circuit charging of the cells, the battery management circuit monitors the voltage of individual series-connected cells as they are being recharged, and terminates the provision of charging current to all cells as soon as one of the cells attains a sufficiently high predetermined voltage. Appropriate termination of the provision of charging current to the cells combined with the appropriate termination of the provision of discharging current from the cells, permits the cells to provide a maximum number of discharge/charge cycles. The invention permits rechargeable cells to provide greater cumulative coulometric capacity, and reduces the incidence of electrolyte leakage from rechargeable cells. The cells may be contained in a battery pack, or may be mounted directly in a device. Electronic circuitry and software programmable device embodiments of the invention are described.

Abstract: A metallic mask is fabricated by using a patterned spun-on glass layer located on an initially uniformly thick metallic layer. In turn, the metallic layer is located on a transparent substrate such as quartz. Patterning of the spun-on glass layer is performed by means of an anistropic dry-etching step, using (as a dry-etch protective layer) an overlying patterned resist that has been patterned by means of a direct-writing electron beam followed by wet development. The patterned spun-on glass layer is used as a dry-etch protective layer during a subsequent anisotropic dry-etch patterning of the metallic layer. After the metallic layer thus has been patterned, the spun-on glass layer can be removed by means of a dilute aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid.

Abstract: An image signal (Si) expressing pel values and a significance signal (Ss) declaring for each pel whether the pel value is significant are supplied as input signals. By referring to the input significance signal (Ss) values for the pels proximal to the pel being processed, the significant pels are identified and a resolution conversion characteristics selector (103) selects one of two or more frequency conversion characteristics to be used for resolution conversion of the image signal (Si) using only significant pels. A resolution converter (105) then converts the resolution of the input image signal (Si) using the selected resolution conversion characteristic, and outputs the result as the image conversion apparatus output signal (Sr). Resolution conversion of the input image signal (Si) can therefore be accomplished by means of pel subsampling or interpolation without being affected by nonsignificant pels, and resolution conversion with minimal image quality loss caused by the conversion process is achieved. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Feedback is employed in a holographic memory system to facilitate rapid
access to information in a stored data page. This feedback technique provides
compensation for thermal, optical and/or mechanical variations in the system
components that tend to interrupt the projection of a data page image on a sensor
array. A page indicator or mark is stored in a holographic storage medium with a
page of data such that, during playback, a quality, e.g., intensity, of its projected
image is indicative of the quality of the corresponding projected data page image.
A corresponding page indicator sensor is employed with the associated sensor
array to detect the quality of a projected page indicator image. The projected data
page image can then be read by sensor elements of the detector based on the
detected quality of the page indicator image. Such a detector can be implemented
in an active pixel sensor (APS) array with the page indicator sensor being
implemented as a region of the APS array. Registration of the sensor array
elements with respect to projected data pixels of the data page image can also be
aligned to an absolute or substantially nearest pixel alignment by a similar
feedback technique.
