Granted: 2007-07-18
Abstract: A frozen foodstuff is made by first molding a foodstuff blank while frozen under pressure into a first foodstuff part that has a cavity intended to hold a filling. Then filling is loaded into the cavity of the first foodstuff part while frozen. Finally a second frozen foodstuff part is fitted to the first foodstuff part to close the cavity. The mating edges of the parts can be coated with water and/or egg white to stick together, and the two parts can then be breaded or otherwise coated.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system includes a predetermined TGC characteristic which is automatically selected or calculated at the initiation of a diagnostic procedure. An automatic TGC circuit analyzes current image data to calculate an adjustment to the predetermined TGC characteristic when activated by the clinician. The ultrasound system produces a displayed TGC curve which illustrates the predetermined TGC characteristic as modified by automatic adjustment and any manual refinement done by the clinician. In a preferred embodiment automatic TGC modification is accompanied by automatic overall gain and dynamic range adjustment to automatically optimize image quality.

Abstract: An inter-chip communication (ICC) mechanism enables any processor in a pipelined arrayed processing engine to communicate directly with any other processor of the engine over a low-latency communication path. The ICC mechanism includes a unidirectional control plane path that is separate from a data plane path of the engine and that accommodates control information flow among the processors. The mechanism thus enables inter-processor communication without sending messages over the data plane communication path extending through processors of each pipeline.

Abstract: An RF tag is provided to communicate with an interrogating source in which the tag has programmability and flexibility to uplink data to multiple platforms. As such the RF tag functions as a miniature programmable transceiver capable of communicating with a plurality of different platforms each having different waveform characteristics. With well-controlled spectral characteristics due to stored waveforms and the use of specialized direct digital up and down conversion techniques, data rates up to 256 kbps are achievable. The tag is thus capable of converting microwave signals directly to digital inputs, and the transmitter generates microwave signals directly from digital outputs. Flexible digital processing also allows a throughput of 900 BOPS when using field programmable gate arrays.

Abstract: A passenger conveyor drive assembly (40) includes drive members such as belts (42) that engage a step chain (30). A monitoring device (50) provides an indication of a damaged or broken drive member (42) by monitoring the relative rotations between wheels (44, 46). In one example, relative rotation between deflection wheels (46) provides an indication that one of the drive members (42) is not performing as well as the other. In another example, a comparison between the speed of rotation of the drive wheels (44) on the one hand and the deflection wheels (46) on the other hand allows for independently monitoring each of the drive members (42) of the drive assembly. In a disclosed embodiment, the monitoring device includes rotating members (52, 56) that normally rotate in unison and move into another position when there is relative rotation between the selected wheels. Such movement provides an indication of a malfunction of the drive system and may actuate the brake as needed.

La durée de vie d'un tel appareil de commutation est déterminée, d'une part, par une usure des contacts de commutation et, d'autre part, par une usure mécanique du mécanisme d'appareil de commutation. On sait déterminer l'usure des contacts de commutation par détection de la variation de la détente de contact dans l'entraînement de l'appareil de commutation. Selon l'état de la technique, cette mesure se fait toujours lors de la mise hors circuit. Selon l'invention, la variation de la détente de contact est désormais détectée lors de la mise en circuit, ce qui permet de détecter en particulier aussi l'usure mécanique des appareils de commutation. Le dispositif selon l'invention comprend un entraînement magnétique (100) constitué d'une armature (101), d'une culasse (110) et de bobines magnétiques (102, 102') et un capteur de position (120) est couplé à l'armature d'aimant (110) en contact par liaison de force.

Abstract: A first search window within a reference frame of video data is identified along with a first correlation threshold value for the first window. The first correlation threshold value is a value to which correlation factors between a pixel set being encoded and pixels sets of the first search window are compared. For example, if a correlation factor between a specific pixel set of the first search window and a pixel set being encoded meets the first threshold value, a successful match between the two pixel sets has been found, and a corresponding motion vector can be assigned to the pixel set being encoded. If none of the pixel sets within the first window meet the first threshold value, a second search window within the first frame is selected along with a second correlation threshold value. The correlation factors for pixel sets in the second window are compared to the second correlation threshold value.
