Patent EP-0425824-A3 (EP)
Title: Process for improving the quality of robusta coffee
IPC: A23F5/04
Filed: 1990-09-29
Abstract: The quality of Robusta coffee is increased by treating raw Robusta coffee beans whose water content has been increased to about 30% to 45% with steam at about 135 DEG  C. to 140 DEG  C. and at a pressure ranging from 3 bar to 4 bar approx. for 60 min to 120 min. This treatment particularly removes the substance responsible for the "earthy" and "musty" aroma note of Robusta coffee, namely the compound 2-methylisoborneol. After the treatment, the beans are processed and roasted in the customary way.
Patent EP-0376932-A3 (EP)
IPC: B65H33/12
Filed: 1988-07-26
Abstract: The machine has a belt conveyor arrangement in which there are 
two sets of narrow endless belts. Lower belts (21A) are 
arranged in parallel, spaced relationship, and are engaged and 
driven by a set of drive pulleys (23) positioned along a drive 
shaft. Upper belts (21) are also arranged in parallel, spaced 
relationship and are engaged by a set of idler pulleys (22) 
positioned along a further shaft. The upper belts (21) bridge 
the gaps between the lower belts (21A) and overlap the 
longitudinal edges of the lower belts and are superimposed on 
the lower belts in tight contact with them, so that the upper 
belts are driven by the lower belts at a uniform linear speed.
Patent EP-0385682-A3 (EP)
Title: Stable package of elongated strand material and methods of and apparatus for providing same
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 1990-02-26
Abstract: An optical fiber package (52) includes a length of optical fiber (22) 
wound in a plurality of convolutions on a bobbin (50). In order to maintain the 
convolutions in a precision wound package and to prevent snags during payout, it is 
necessary that each convolution of optical fiber be adhered to at least a portion of an 
adjacent convolution. This is accomplished by providing the length of optical fiber 
with an adhesive material (32) which is not tacky at room temperature but which 
becomes tacky at a predetermined temperature. After the convolutions have been 
wound on the bobbin, the bobbin is treated to cause the adhesive material to become 
tacky and cause each convolution to adhere to at least a portion of adjacent 
convolutions. Suitable adhesion is caused to occur with any adhesive material for 
which molecular bonding can occur across the interface between contiguous portions 
of adjacent convolutions as a result of suitable treatment. The adhesion between 
convolutions is sufficient to cause a precision wound package to be maintained, but 
is such as to allow separation of each convolution from an adjacent convolution 
during payout without the occurence of breaks.

Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a
compact quadrature modulator manufactured at low cost in
such a manner that an input level is low over a wide high
frequency band, and few input signals are wrapped around an
output terminal. The quadrature modulator is mainly
constructed of a multi-layer substrate into which a 90-degree
phase shifter is assembled, a semiconductor
integrated modulator circuit into which two sets of 2-phase
modulators and an output signal in-phase synthesizing
circuit, and a lid. The multi-layer substrate is
constructed of "n" pieces of layers in total, namely from a
first substrate corresponding to an uppermost layer to an n-th
substrate corresponding to a lowermost layer. The first
substrate layer is a layer for assembling a semiconductor
integrated circuit, or a layer for connecting a substrate
with a semiconductor integrated circuit. The 90-degree
phase shifter is constituted by distributed coupling
circuits having wavelengths of λg/4 by both of wiring
patterns formed on the substrates corresponding to an
intermediate layer of the multi-layer substrate. A wiring
pattern connected to a ground terminal and other circuit
components are formed on the n-th substrate layer, i.e., the,
lowermost layer.

Abstract: Density data produced by an image reading unit is input
to a surface density detection unit, which detects a surface
density by averaging density data of pixels within a
predetermined density range. A period setting unit sets a
period of sampling density data of pixels to be used for
calculation of the surface density. A surface reference

by adding an offset to the detected surface density. A surface
color elimination unit corrects density data of a pixel lower
than the surface reference density to the white level to
eliminate a surface color.

Abstract: A medical electrical lead having a fixation helix (28) which
is surface treated along a portion further has a
bioabsorbable coating in order to permit the helix (28) to be
inserted into the heart tissue without causing damage to
