Title: Method and apparatus for removing the skin casing from a sausage
Inventor: ROSENGREN ANDERS
IPC: A22C11/00
Filed: 1995-11-27
Abstract: A method of removing the skin casing from a sausage by slitting the sausage (2) in its one end region comprises the steps that a flap of the skin casing is gripped by a gripper (15) in the immediate proximity of the slit. The gripped flap is displaced in relation to the sausage (2) in a direction transversely of the longitudinal direction of the sausage, preferably approximately tangential. The gripper and the sausage undergo a relative displacement in the longitudinal direction of the sausage. The sausage will, at least during a part of the removal operation of the skin casing, be caused to rotate approximately about its longitudinal axis. An apparatus for removing the skin casing from a sausage comprises a support arrangement (1) for the sausage, a rotation unit (6), which, by engagement with the sausage (2), is disposed to rotate the sausage approximately about its longitudinal axis on the support arrangement, a gripping unit (3) which has a knife for realising a slit in the end region of the sausage, and at least one first gripper for gripping a flap of the skin casing in the immediate proximity of the slit. The apparatus also includes guides (4, 5) along which the rotation unit (6) and the gripping unit (3) for removing the skin casing of the sausage are movable in opposite directions approximately parallel with the longitudinal direction of the sausage.

Title: Pointing device with optical fingerprint recognition and tracking capability
Inventor: WALCH ROLAND S
IPC: G06F21/32
Filed: 1997-06-18
Abstract: The present  invention relates to a novel pointing device for use with a computer system. The pointing device can be in the form of a mouse,  trackball or any other type of apparatus that can be employed by the user of the computer system to displace a cursor on the screen. The novel pointing device features a finger print identification system that enables the computer  system to  recognize  the  identity of  the individual  whose  finger  is  being  scanned.  The advantage of providing the pointing device with a finger print recognition capability is the ease and simplicity with  which  user  identification  can be effected.  In  another  aspect  of  the  invention,  a pointing  device  is  provided  that  is  capable  of optically   detecting   and   tracking   significant papillary  features  the  user's  finger.  Thus,  the movement of the user's finger can be mapped to the displacement of the cursor on the screen. The main advantage  of  this  approach  is  to  enable  a  much higher resolution in detecting the finger position by comparison to traditional methods.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for the controlled placement of a shear-thinnable polymer composition into a moving web. The controlled placement is preferably performed by applying the polymer composition onto a surface of a moving web, shear thinning the composition and placing it into the web, and curing the polymer composition. A preferred apparatus includes one or more process heads that has mounted thereto a rigid knife blade for engagement with the moving web. The knife blade is movable vertically and rotationally. The process head is also movable horizontally along the path of the moving web. A plurality of macro and micro tension zones are established and are monitored for controlling the apparatus and process. Additional measurements of web density, micro porosity, placement of an internal layer of polymer within the web, analysis of elements on the treated web, and the size of the polymer bead applied to the moving web are measured for controlling online the apparatus and the process of this invention. This method and apparatus produces webs that either has some of its structural elements encapsulated by the polymer composition while at least some of the interstitial spaces of the web are open; or has an internal layer extending through the web in a direction generally spaced from at least one major surface thereof; or has both encapsulated structural elements and an internal layer of polymer composition.

Abstract: Méthode et appareil permettant d'envoyer et de recevoir des signaux logiques en fonction d'entrées de données numériques externes et de signaux de commande. Un circuit de référence (10, 22) produisant un premier et un deuxième signaux de référence est commun aux circuits d'émission et de réception de signal. Le circuit d'émission du signal comprend une source de signal (12) reliée à une ligne de transmission (24) pour produire un signal numérique de niveau variable, ainsi qu'un circuit de réglage et de commutation de niveau de référence (circuit RLA/S) (10) qui réagit à l'entrée de données numériques et au premier signal de référence. Le circuit RLA/S est connecté à la source de signal afin de choisir le niveau du signal numérique de niveau variable et de produire un signal de commutation. La sortie de la source de signal est ainsi réglée et commutée de sorte que la source de signal envoie à la ligne de transmission un signal numérique qui suit l'entrée des données numériques au niveau de signal de sortie choisi. Le circuit de réception de signal comprend un circuit d'impédance d'entrée variable (14) connecté à la ligne de transmission, qui répond au deuxième signal de référence afin de recevoir des signaux numériques de niveau variable provenant de la ligne de transmission. Il comprend également un circuit de détection (14, 16) connecté pour recevoir les signaux numériques de niveau variable provenant du circuit d'impédance d'entrée variable. Le circuit de détection réagit au premier signal de référence et détecte les états logiques des signaux numériques de niveau variable déterminés par le premier signal de référence. En outre, le circuit de détection convertit les états logiques détectés en signaux logiques correspondants de niveaux de sortie prédéterminés.

Abstract: A multiple interface input/output port (11) allows communications between an interface bus (14) of a peripheral device (10) and any one of a plurality of different types of interface buses (18) that may be provided in a host computer (16). An interface bus detection circuit (22) detects which type of interface bus (18) the peripheral device (10) is connected to on the host computer (16), and communications are then routed through an appropriate interface adapter (26) that enables communication between the interface buses (18) of the peripheral device (10) and host computer (16). The interface bus detection circuit (22) compares signal levels on selected ones of the lines (45) of the interface bus (14) of the host computer (16) to a reference potential to determine which of the selected lines (45) are grounded. The circuit then identifies the type of the interface bus (18, 14) to which it is connected based on the determination of which of the selected lines (45) of the interface bus (14) are grounded.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling data flow on a network having a server and a non-blocking client node in which the client node may not drop requests received from the server. A process on the non-blocking client node allocates resources on the non-blocking client node and notifies the server of the allocated resources. The server then determines the resources on the non-blocking client node required to fulfill a request by an application on the server and whether sufficient resources are available on the non-blocking client node to fulfill the request by the application. If sufficient resources are available, the server then sends the request to the client node and if sufficient resources do not exist, the server waits until sufficient resources do exist to issue the request to the non-blocking client node.
