Title: Positron emission tomography camera
IPC: G01T1/161
Filed: 1986-08-25
Abstract: A positron emission tomography camera having a plurality of detector planes positioned side-by-side around a patient area to detect radiation. Each plane includes a plurality of photomultiplier tubes (60c, 62c, 64c) and at least two rows of scintillation crystals on each photomultiplier tube extend across to adjacent photomultiplier tubes for detecting radiation from the patient area. Each row of crystals on each photomultiplier tube is offset from the other rows of crystals, and the area of each crystal on each tube in each row is different than the area of the crystals on the tube in other rows for detecting which crystal is actuated and allowing the detector to detect more interplane slices. The crystals are offset by an amount equal to the length of the crystal divided by the number of rows. The rows of crystals on opposite sides of the patient may be rotated 90 degrees relative to each other.

Title: Layered meat emulsion product and method of producing same
IPC: A23L13/00
Filed: 1987-10-07
Abstract: A meat emulsion containing meat, meat by-products, water and one or more dry proteinaceous materials is prepared, with the emulsion having a protein to fat ratio of at least about 1.5:1 and a moisture content in the range of about 45% to 80%. The hot meat emulsion is introduced by centrifugal force into a confined holding tube in which the emulsion is retained for a relatively short period of time during which the protein coagulates to set the emulsion and provide a firm meat emulsion product, with the emulsion being maintained at a pressure greater than the vapor pressure of emulsion water. When the protein has coagulated sufficiently to form a firm emulsion, the emulsion pressure is reduced below the vapor pressure of the emulsion water so that water in the emulsion is vaporized, and pressurized steam is periodically injected into the emulsion mass. The effect of the combination of pumping the hot emulsion into the holding tube by centrifugal force, subjecting the confined emulsion to steam pressure while the protein is rapidly coagulating, together with pressure exerted on the emulsion, provide a set meat emulsion product having a plurality of distinct emulsion layers which are bonded together, and the layered product is discharged from the holding tube in the form of discrete pieces or chunks. Such layered meat emulsion chunks may be used for human consumption or for consumption by pet animals, depending on the nature and quality of the meat materials used.

Title: Fluid flow control unit
Inventor: MEHOUDAR RAPHAEL
IPC: A01G25/02
Filed: 1991-10-21
Abstract: A known irrigation emitter unit provided at the end of an irrigation pipe comprises an inner member located and retained inside an outer member by way of a plastic molded annular flange and recess. This is unsatisfactory in that the inner member can be expelled from the outer member given a relatively high water pressure and in that the inner member is recessed with respect to the outer edges of the outer member wherein water can accumulate. The present invention is directed to an irrigation emitter unit comprising an outer member (11) in which is located an inner member (25) by way of molded terminal portions (20) of the outer member (11). Both the inner and outer members form a flush unit. Furthermore, as the terminal portions (20) are molded to the inner members (25), the irrigation emitter unit can withstand a greater water pressure than known previously. The present invention also extends to a process of manufacturing such a fluid flow control unit. <IMAGE>

Title: Determining the position of a mobile station in a cellular telephone system
Inventor: GILHOUSEN KLEIN S
IPC: H04W52/00
Filed: 1997-06-06
Granted: 2001-08-15
Abstract: In a cellular communications system, a mobile is in communication with a first base station via a radio channel. The mobile may be located by measuring signal propagation delays between itself and the first base station, and between itself and a second and third surrounding base station. If, whilst the first base station is transmitting, the mobile is unable to perform the necessary measurements with the second and third base stations, the first base station will temporarily cease transmitting on the radio channel to enable the mobile to measure the propagation time of a signals between itself and the second and third base stations. Particularly suited to CDMA communications systems in which transmission powers are normally kept to a minimum.

Title: Creating distributed proxy configurations
Inventor: LANDFELDT BJOERN
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2002-04-09
Granted: 2004-12-15
Abstract: Server-to-user delivery of a data stream associated with a service provided by the server is effectuated by selecting the server and, automatically and without manual intervention, providing in a communication path that is to be used for the delivery a proxy that performs a proxy operation on the data stream during the delivery. A proxy can be automatically installed in a communication path through a data network. In response to an installation request, a communication port for coupling to the communication path is automatically allocated and a proxy to support data flow through the communication port is automatically loaded. The proxy is operable for performing a proxy operation on the data stream. In maintaining proxies in a communication path used to deliver from a server to a user a data stream associated with a service provided by the server, it can be determined when a first proxy in the communication path is not performing its proxy function within the communication path. In response to such a determination, a replacement proxy can be provided in the communication path automatically and without manual intervention. The replacement proxy replaces the first proxy in the communication path to perform the proxy function of the first proxy.

Title: Microcomputer data processing systems permitting bus control by peripheral processing devices
Inventor: DEAN MARK EDWARD
IPC: G06F13/28
Filed: 1984-12-20
Granted: 1987-03-25
Abstract: A microcomputer system includes a main processor (1), a memory (3) and a direct memory access controller (DMA;4) effective to control direct data transfer between the memory and input<sub>/</sub>output devices on channels. Bus control for data transfer is switchable between the DMA and processor by a hold request/acknowledge handshaking sequence between the DMA and processor. A control line (27) from the channels is activated by a peripheral processing device on a channel when it wishes to gain control of the busses for data transfer. Logic means co-act with the handshaking sequence to determine which device gains control of the busses. This logic is responsive to the DMA address enable output (AEN), the hold acknowledge output of the main processor (HLDA) and the channel control line output (-MASTER). When all these are deactivated, control passes to the main processor, when AEN and HLDA only are activated, control passes to the DMA controller and, when all three are activated, control passes to the peripheral processing device.

Title: Gas refrigeration method and apparatus
Inventor: MARSHALL JOHN
IPC: F25J1/02
Filed: 1985-07-23
Granted: 1988-01-27
Abstract: In a method of liquefying a permanent gas, such as nitrogen, refrigeration is provided for the permanent gas by one or more working fluid cycles 81 and 89 in which work expanded working fluid is brought into heat exchange relationship with the permanent gas stream at temperatures above the critical temperature of the permanent gas, and a working fluid cycle 77 in which work expanded working fluid is brought into heat exchange relationship with the permanent gas stream at a temperature below the critical temperature of the permanent gas. The outlet pressure of the turbine 78 is at least 10 atmopsheres and preferably from 12 to 20 atmospheres. By selecting such a high outlet pressure for the turbine 78 and for the turbine of any other working fluid cycle operating at below the critical temperature of the permanent gas, the thermodynamic efficiency of such working fluid cycles may be increased by virtue of the relatively high specific heat that the working fluid has at such pressure.
