Title: Viscous material dispenser and method for dispensing
Inventor: TUCKER JAMES M
IPC: B67D1/10
Filed: 1994-11-23
Granted: 1999-09-14
Abstract: A reciprocating piston with an integral valve moves in a first direction within a cylinder to pressurize viscous material contained therein, such as ice cream or the like, thereby pushing it out of a dispensing nozzle located at one end of the cylinder while simultaneously extracting viscous material from a collapsible container into the other end of the cylinder by suctioning the material from the container.  When the piston moves in a second direction, the integral valve opens to allow the piston to pass through the previously suctioned viscous material then within the cylinder.  The dispensing nozzle includes a normally closed, spring-biased valve opened by the force of the pressurized material, closing of the valve being assisted by a transient suction force occurring as the valved piston begins to move in the second direction through the material.  Suctioning the material from the collapsible container, as opposed to compressing the container to expel the material, is preferable when the material contains entrapped gas, as is the case with ice cream, since repeated compression of such containerized material can diminish its quality.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a skin pattern feature extracting apparatus for skin pattern images such as fingerprints, palm prints or ridge patterns of other parts of the body.        An original image is held in an image holder, and displayed on an image display to be viewed by the operator. The operator inputs the angle of rotation and ratio of compression of a focal point of the original image for observing ridges more clearly. A perspective transforming unit generates a resultant image according to a corresponding perspective transformation (i.e., affine transformations), and a perspective transformed image display displays the resultant image to the user. The operator performs manual plotting and manual tracing with reference to the resultant image. The result of the operations is inputted to and recorded in the manual input unit, and transformed in a feature data transforming unit to feature data.

Title: Image sensor
Inventor: KUROSAWA TOSHIRO
IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 1998-09-10
Granted: 2001-05-08
Abstract: A Time Delay Integration technique is applied to an image sensor of this invention. A sensor part is constructed in such a way that diagonally-arranged photo-sensors are arranged periodically lengthwise and widthwise. The signal charge read from the photo-sensors of each line is transferred vertically to horizontal CCD shift registers. Each horizontal CCD shift register is provided on each line of the diagonally-arranged photo-sensors, and the horizontal CCD shift register outputs the signal charge to an A/D converter, which converts the signal charge into a digital signal. Thus, one A/D converter processes only a small amount of data, and the object can be scanned at high speed.

Granted: 2006-02-21
Abstract: Method for conversion of hydrocarbons assisted by gliding electric arcs in the presence of steam and/or carbon dioxide. The objective of the process and the plasma assistance device to steam reforming, to the reforming with CO2 or to simultaneous reforming with an H2O/CO2 mixture of hydrocarbons is the production of gases rich in CO and H2, containing also high ratios of C2H2, C2H4 and C3H6, without formation of soot or coke. The process makes it also possible to upgrade the CO2 by converting it into CO in the presence of hydrocarbons. This mixture of valuable; products is obtained in a reactor /1/ with electric gliding arcs /4/ which strike directly into an endothermic reaction medium consisting of hydrocarbons mixed with H2O and/or CO2. The reactor is equipped with a diaphragm /19/ with a convergent/divergent hole /20/ to reinforce the agitation of the arcs with the load to be converted and, at the same time, to have the conversion of the load progress after prolonged contact with catalytic species derived from the plasma.

Abstract: Disclosed are antiperspirant stick compositions that exhibit substantially n o visible residue (whitening) upon application to the skin or after drying. The compositions include both emollients that are silicone materials and emollients that are not silicone materials, these materials having a refractive index of at least 1.4460, in addition to including a vehicle (for example, cyclomethicone), a gelling agent (for example, stearyl alcohol and hydrogenated castor oil) and the active antiperspirant material (for example, particulate antiperspirant metal salts). These compositions reduce the necessity of using expensive silicone materials, while still achieving antiperspirant compositions with substantially no visible residue.

Abstract: Comfort noise functions monitor background noise picked up by microphones in radiocommunication systems. These functions provide comfort noise information which is transmitted by remote units during periods of silence, so that the receiving party's equipment can output the proper background noise while the transmitting side can deactivate the transmitting circuitry to conserve power. Muting functions are accommodated by continuing to provide signals to the comfort noise functions so that the background noise is continuously monitored. When the muting mode of a remote unit is enabled, the transmitter receives comfort noise frames or silence frames instead of information output from a voice (speech) encoder.
