Title: Down converter for satellite communication system
Inventor: FUJISAKI HIROTAKA
IPC: B65G47/52
Filed: 1991-11-04
Granted: 1995-10-10
Abstract: A down converter device is used in a satellite communication system to convert a microwave signal to an intermediate frequency signal by the use of a standard signal having a frequency range of several to several tens of MHz, and to apply the intermediate frequency signal to a next stage component.  The down converter includes a mixer for producing the intermediate frequency signal which is indicative of the frequency difference between the standard signal and the microwave signal.  A separator includes a first terminal for receiving the intermediate frequency signal, a second terminal for producing and supplying the intermediate frequency signal to the next stage component and for receiving the standard signal from the next stage component, a first filter for separating the standard signal, and a third terminal for producing the standard signal to the mixing means.  The system has the advantage over prior down converters that only a single connection is required between the converter and the next stage component.

Title: Method for producing a proteinaceous product by digestion of raw animal parts
Inventor: ANDERSON PAUL S
IPC: A23J3/34
Filed: 1991-05-29
Granted: 2003-12-09
Abstract: A particulate proteinaceous product and methods for producing the same from waste raw animal parts are disclosed. The product is dry to the touch, is compressible into pellets or cakes, and comprises about 45 to 65 w/w percent partially hydrolyzed, non-denatured animal protein, about 20-35 w/w percent oil derived from the animal parts, about 10-15 w/w percent moisture, and about 0-7 w/w percent ash. The product also has less objectionable odor, less propensity to oxidize, and higher nutritional value than existing products. The method comprises a mulling stage wherein the raw animal parts are reduced to a ground condi-tion; a hydrolyzing stage wherein proteins in the ground animal parts are hydrolyzed to a predetermined extent to form an aque-ous suspension, using either endogenous or supplementary proteolytic enzymes, and subsequently heated to inactivate the en-zymes and convert fats in the suspension to oils; a screening stage wherein non-digestible solids are removed from the suspen-sion; a concentration stage wherein extraneous oil is added to the suspension, the suspension is pasteurized, and a large portion of the water is removed therefrom; and an oil-separation stage wherein sufficient oil is removed to form the product. A portion of the removed oil is routed back to the beginning of the concentration stage as extraneous oil added to the suspension to permit suf-ficient water to be removed from the suspension without forming a stiff, unprocessable mass. The method is distinctive in that it produces a dry, flaky product without the use of a conventional dryer. The method is also distinctive for its substantial resistance to equipment clogging.

Granted: 1999-02-16
Abstract: The two gripper parts (5, 6) of a gripper are mounted so as to be pivotable on a shaft (12) which, in turn, is mounted rotatably in a holder (13). Connected to this shaft (12) so as to be fixed against rotation is closing lever which bears at its end a follower roller  which  interacts  with  fixed  closing  links. Furthermore,  a resting part  (16)  for a compression spring  (18)  is  connected  to  the  shaft  (12)  via a spreader ring (17) so as to be fixed against rotation. This compression spring (18) is supported at its  other end on a bearing part (5) which is integral with the one gripper part (5). A pivot movement of the closing lever results in a corresponding clockwise pivoting of the resting part (16), as a result of which pivoting of the one gripper part (5) into the clamping position is brought about via the compression spring (18). This one gripper part (5) is blocked in its clamping position in which the compression spring  (18)  is compressed and exerts a corresponding clamping force.

IPC: G01R31/58
Filed: 1993-07-15
Granted: 2000-04-18
Abstract: A fault indicator for indicating at a remote location the occurrence of a fault current in a monitored electrical conductor of an AC power distribution system utilizes a liquid crystal display having independent "F" and "N" optical display and optical shutter electrodes. A rectifier circuit capacitively coupled to the conductor charges a first capacitor in the presence of voltage on the conductor.      A second capacitor us connected to the first capacitor by a first reed switch in magnetic communication with the conductor. Upon occurrence of a fault current the reed switch closes and a portion of the charge on the first capacitor is transferred to the second capacitor, which is connected to the "F" display actuator electrodes of the liquid crystal display to cause an "F" to be displayed and an associated optical shutter to open. The fault indication can be reset either by the slow discharge of the second capacitor, or by discharging the second capacitor through a second reed switch manually actuated by a magnetic reset tool from outside the fault indicator housing. The "N" display actuator electrodes are capacitively coupled to the monitored conductor and system ground to cause an "N" to be displayed and an associated optical shutter electrode to open to indicate that voltage is present on the conductor.      First and second light sources are caused to project through respective ones of the optical shutter electrodes onto respective first and second photodetectors. A first control circuit responsive to the output of the first photodetector provides a first output signal indicative of the occurrence of a fault. A second control circuit responsive to the second photodetector provides a second output signal indicative of the presence of voltage on the conductor.

Title: Method and assembly for preventing air entry between a moving material web and a roll
Inventor: PALOVIITA PETRI
IPC: B05D1/28
Filed: 1994-01-10
Granted: 2004-09-14
Abstract: Investigations have shown that curtailing the entry of air between the coater backing roll (3) and the web (5) being coated can offer a significant reduction in the number of uncoated blotches. By virtue of preventing the occurrence of such coat defects, the rotational speed of the kiss roll (2) in kiss roll coaters can be reduced.      The invention is based on pressing the web (5) being coated against the backing roll (3) from the opposite side of the web (5) relative to the backing roll (3) at a point preceding the nip between the kiss roll (2) and the backing roll (3), whereby air is prevented from entering between the web (5) and the backing roll (3). The means employed for pressing the web (5) against the backing roll (3) is an air jet to avoid imposing additional stress on the web.
