Title: Computer method and apparatus for a table driven file parser.
Inventor: METHE EDWARD D
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1993-01-27
Abstract: An interface between different file formats employs a table for parsing component parts of each file format. The table cross references or categorizes each of the different file formats according to file type from a predefined set of file types. For each file type, the table provides an indication and description of each component part of a file of that type. Each component part description of the table is in a commmon format. Thus, the present invention method and apparatus employs a table driven parser which utilizes a common form of representation for defining multiple file formats.

Filed: 1993-03-04
Abstract: An incubator apparatus (10) for preparing an aerobically cultured plant material, such as a soyfood substrate (11), inoculated with a beneficial microorganism to form a cultured food, such as Tempeh, is described. The incubator apparatus is comprised of a water tray (13), which provides a water bath (15) for heating the inoculated soyfood substrate loaded in shallow metal trays (45), preferably stainless steel trays. The trays are then supported on tray racks (43) that are mounted in the water bath so that the trays are partially immersed in the water bath. The trays holding the inoculated soyfood substrate are then sealed in the water bath by a cover (61). The cover mounts over the tray racks and is partially immersed in the water bath to seal the cover over and around the trays filled with the inoculated soyfood substrate.

Title: Security systems
Inventor: ELLIS ANTONY MARK
IPC: H04B1/38
Filed: 1993-04-23
Abstract: The security system involved in the arming and disarming of a car alarm, includes a transmitter (2) and a receiver (4) each including an oscillator (6, 8) incorporating a highly accurate and stable quartz time base. Each oscillator (6, 8) drives a respective encoder (14, 20) to develop a pseudo random succession of codes. Reset switches (10, 12) are provided for both transmitter and receiver (2, 4) to synchronise the two oscillators and therefore to synchronise the succession of codes. The receiver (4) includes a decoder (24) for decoding the received signals and a comparator (26) for comparing the decoded signal with the signal generated by the encoder (20). When equality is detected an arm/disarm circuit (28) is triggered. Because the codes of the transmitter and receiver are continually changing, it makes it very difficult for a thief to produce a coded signal which will trigger the arm/disarm circuit.

IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 1993-04-30
Abstract: Broadcast segment recognition systems (10) and methods are provided in which a signature representing a monitored broadcast segment is compared with broadcast segment signatures in a data base (412) representing known broadcast segments to determine whether a match exists. Criteria for determining the validity of such a match are provided. In one aspect, signatures representing audio broadcast signals are formed by comparing temporally displaced portions of respective frequency band values within plural frequency bands of the broadcast audio signal. Systems and methods are provided for producing signatures representing intervals of a video signal which compensate for shifts in an edge of a picture (142) represented by the video signal. In addition, signatures characterizing respective intervals of a broadcast signal exhibiting correlation are produced by generating a difference vector (150) for each respective interval and carrying out vector transformations of the different vectors (150) to reduce such correlation. Moreover, signatures characterizing intervals of a video signal are produced with corresponding mask words representing reliability of values comprising the signature. Mask words of first and second signatures thus formed representing different portions of the video signal displaced from one another are compared to establish the values of the mask word. <IMAGE>

Title: Materiaux en feuille resilients
Inventor: BADEN-POWELL ROBERT CRAUSE
IPC: A01K1/015
Filed: 1993-06-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne un matériau en feuille imperméable à l'eau, résilient et compressible destiné à être utilisé comme litière pour animaux, de préférence pour chevaux. Ledit matériau est constitué de caoutchouc naturel ou synthétique ou de matière plastique. Il présente des rainures (54) sur sa surface supérieure ainsi que des colonnes permettant de le surélever par rapport au sol de l'écurie. Les feuilles sont reliées entre elles par des plaques (voir figure 7) qui s'adaptent sur les colonnes situées sur les bords desdites feuilles. Ces plaques de liaison permettent de laisser des espaces entre les mats de manière à laisser passer l'urine ou d'autres liquides. Si le sol de l'écurie est incliné, le liquide s'écoule au-dessous des mats en suivant la pente. Les rainures (54) empêchent la projection ou l'écoulement des liquides vers les bords des mats. D'autres matériaux composites pouvant être utilisés comme litières ou protection sont représentés dans les figures 1 à 4.

Abstract: A container capable of containing components of a mixture in chambers separated by a peelable seal constructed from a multi-layer film. The multi-layer film has at least one layer of a RF-responsive material and an interior layer of non-RF responsive material. When the layers are subjected to RF energy, the RF-responsive layer heats the interior layers resulting in a bond in the form of a peelable seal between the interior layers. The peelable seal is capable of withstanding external pressures to the container, such as from dropping the container. The seal may be selectively opened to allow mixture of components contained therein.

Abstract: An automatic frequency control system, for an optical coherent communication system, in which the frequency of local oscillation light 5 from coherent light communication receiver 100 are swept to pull the intermediate frequency at a stable AFC point. The AFC is caused to operate with an intermediate frequency in the AFC operation range, and interrupted. Subsequently while sweeping the frequency of local oscillation light 5 in a certain direction in a predetermined range, the output voltage of frequency discriminator 9 is monitored. Once the change of the output voltage of frequency discriminator 9 due to the sweep exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the AFC resumes for the pulling to a stable point.

Abstract: This motor includes a rotor (1) and a stator (3), fitted with windings and housed in a carcass (5); the rotor is shrouded in a double windings cage: the outer cage (11) is produced from a material making it possible to develop a significant torque as soon as the motor is started and is formed from round bars; the inner cage (7), formed from deep rectangular bars, is produced in order very significantly to enhance the torque available over the speed range after starting of the motor, so as to obtain a constant torque over the whole speed range, including from stopped. Longitudinal and radial notches (15) are formed on the surface of the stator (3), and axial channels are pierced in the rotor (1) so as to ensure effective cooling by the air pumped by a fan unit (23). The invention makes it possible to produce an asynchronous motor with changeable speed and constant torque over the whole speed range including stopped, with dimensions and cost of manufacture which are very much lower than those of conventional asynchronous motors. <IMAGE>
