Abstract: The method involves detecting a reflected beam with the use of a detector. The intensity of the detected beam in a selected wave band, which corresponds to a form of fat, is determined by analyzing the reflected beam using Fourier transform techniques. The determined intensity is compared with the reflective characteristics of a reference fat in the wave band to evaluate the fat content of body. The method involves applying a near-infrared (NIR) beam to a selected portion e.g. ear of a body such that a portion of the NIR beam is reflected. An independent claim is also included for a scanning apparatus.

Title: Process for splicing a continuous strip of packets as well as the strip thus obtained
Inventor: YOUNG ROBERT W
IPC: B65B61/00
Filed: 2003-01-30
Abstract: A process for splicing cut ends of a continuous strip of packets or bags used to hold bulk material. The steps of the process include forming a continuous strip of packets from packaging material and filling the packets with bulk material. The edges of the packaging material are sealed to form individual packets of the continuous strip such that adjacent packets share a common sealed area of packaging material. Openings are then formed in the common sealed areas between the adjacent packets. The continuous strip is then cut entirely across the common sealed area of the packets at two separate locations on the continuous strip to form cut ends such that each of the cut ends of the continuous strip contains an opening in the common sealed area. Without using splicing tape, the two cut ends of the continuous strip with openings are spliced together such that the openings in the two cut ends overlap. The splicing process can be accomplished by ultrasonic welding, impulse splicing or other processes. Also disclosed is equipment for the splicing processes.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to remove the excess heat from one of the fuel cells by means of evaporating the product water into steam and the flushing of said steam from the system by means of the oxidizing agent. The fuel cell system further comprises in addition to at least one fuel cell, a downstream evaporative cooler arranged before the cathode and after the anode and which is connected to the condenser for water supply. In order to increase the efficiency of the system a fuel cell stack is advantageously applied. The depleted feedstock emerging from the anode chamber is fed to an evaporative cooler which is also supplied with an oxidising agent and water from a condenser. The heat of the depleted feedstock is transferred to the introduced water in the evaporative cooler which is transformed into steam and taken up by the oxidising agent which is also heated. The mixture of oxidising agent and steam is removed from the evaporative cooler and at least partly recycled to the cathode of the fuel cell. The remaining fraction is released to the environment.

IPC: G09G3/02
Filed: 2003-05-19
Abstract: A scan assembly of an image generator sweeps an image beam in a first dimension at a first rate and bi-directionally in a second dimension at a slower rate. Sweeping the beam bi-directionally in the vertical dimension (generally the dimension of the lower sweep rate) can reduce the scanning power by eliminating the flyback period, and, where the scan assembly includes a mechanical reflector, can reduce the error in the beam position without a feedback loop by reducing the number of harmonics in the vertical sweep function. Furthermore, because the image beam is "on" longer due to the elimination of the flyback period, the scanned image is often brighter for a given beam intensity. The scan assembly may also sweep the image beam non-linearly in the vertical dimension, and this sweep may be bi-directional or uni-directional. Sweeping the beam non-linearly can also reduce the error in the beam position by reducing the number of harmonics in the vertical sweep function.
