Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif d'acheminement crossbar destiné à être utilisé dans un système numérique pourvu d'au moins trois bus. L'invention concerne également le procédé associé à ce dispositif d'acheminement. Ce dispositif d'acheminement, conçu pour transmettre un ensemble de données envoyé par l'un des bus à un autre de ces bus, comprend un dispositif de commande associé à chaque bus afin de diviser ledit ensemble de données en au moins un premier et un second sous-ensembles de données, et d'ajouter des signaux d'acheminement automatique à chaque sous-ensemble de données, ces signaux identifiant un bus particulier. Un dispositif de commutation est en outre conçu pour diriger le premier et le second sous-ensembles de données de manière prédéterminée, en réponse audits signaux d'acheminement automatique. L'ensemble de commande coopère avec cet ensemble de commutation afin de transmettre les sous-ensembles de données sur des voies de transmission de données physiquement distinctes, définies entre ces dispositifs de commutation et de commande. Selon une caractéristique de cette invention, la configuration du dispositif d'acheminement permet une expansion linéaire afin de desservir les bus à haute puissance et/ou un grand nombre de bus, et ce de manière retable, tout en conservant un débit de données élevé.

Title: Method for treating oil seed flakes prior to oil extraction
Inventor: HEILMANN RUDIGER
IPC: A23L11/30
Filed: 1999-11-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a method according to which the oil seed is reduced in size and shaped to flakes by rolling before the oil seed is subjected to oil extraction. The flakes are fed to a transporting mixer to which water vapor and/or water are simultaneously added. They are transported in the mixer towards the outlet of the mixer with a dwelling time of 5 to 50 seconds.    The flakes are removed from the mixer at a moisture content of 8 to 20 wt.-%  and at temperatures in the range of 90 to 110 °C. They are guided through a baking zone in which they are moved across heated floors at dwelling times of 15 to 50 minutes and at temperatures in the range of 90 to 110 °C.  The flakes are removed from the baking zones with a residual humidity which is at least half the humidity content of the flakes upon entrance in the baking zone. The flakes are guided through a drying and cooling zone in which they are converted to granules which are then subjected to oil extraction.

Patent CA-2362151-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FELD ALEX
IPC: G01R31/28
Filed: 2000-02-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the verification of the presence and proper orientation of a component on a printed circuit board (1). The board has a plurality of areas (10) for receiving a component (20) respectively.  Each area is marked in the center thereof with a first marker (30). Adjacent each area, and indicative of the polarity of the component, a second marker (40) is marked on the board. The presence or absence of a component can be evaluated by inspecting the board after it has been populated and determining whether any of the first markers appear, indicat ing that a component is missing. Verification of the polarity of a component is done by placing a marker (40) on a portion of a component required to be installed in a predetermined position indicative of polarity. Inspection of the board once it has been populated will determine if the component is in the proper orientation by verifying if the second marker and the marker on the component are in alignment. Preferably, the first marker and the second marker are of different colours, and are preferably UV compatible layers. Additionally, the method of the invention, when applied between the leads of a multi-legged component or between discrete components, such as by the etching of additional portions of the solder mask or by adding an additional layer, will produce a shadow on the reflective surface, thereby identifying a short at that location.
