Patent EP-0368602-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WILKES MALCOLM STUART
IPC: A21D8/06
Filed: 1989-11-07
Abstract: A sweet or savoury filling for a sandwich or pastry is based on an oil/fat-in-water emulsion containing at least one emulsifying protein, salt and whey powder. The inclusion of both salt and whey powder has been found to lead to the desirable properties of a moist mouthfeel and sufficiently-low water content for a baked product containing the filling to be shelf-stable for an extended period at ambient temperature. By the use of a combination of two emulsifying proteins (sodium caseinate and soya protein isolate) a filling is obtained which is stable to the baking step but which undergoes controlled breakdown upon re-heating and provides further desirable mouthfeel characteristics.

Abstract: Various forms of switching devices for ball-point pens are known, by means of which the insert is received so as to be longitudinally displaceable between a retracted and a writing position inside a shaft (1) with the assistance of a spring. However, the essential feature of the known embodiments is that a plurality of movable construction elements interact within the framework of the switching device. To simplify the assembly, but in particular to reduce the components required in total within the framework of the switching device, a writing instrument according to the invention is proposed, whose switching device consists solely of an insert part (7), arranged fixedly inside the shaft (1), and an actuating device (4) which is arranged movably inside said insert part and constructed integrally with the pusher (3). The actuating device (4) has a component which is intended to engage with the insert part (7), can be deflected elastically and is swivelled into mutually perpendicular planes for engagement or disengagement. The said component, constructed as a switching rod (13), is provided with switching teeth (22, 23) which interact with control cams of the insert part (7). Both construction elements forming the switching device are constructed as plastic injection mouldings which allow smooth switching movements and secure switching positions. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A synchronizing control apparatus (50) for synchronously rotating master and slave main spindles (18, 19) of a pin grinder, wherein a servomotor (21) for the slave main spindle (19) is rotated at a speed corresponding to a compensated command value while the master main spindle (18) is rotated at a speed corresponding to a noncompensated command value. The compensated command value is calculated based on a synchronizing error between the master and slave main spindles (18, 19) at a predetermined interval longer than the length of instable condition of a servo loop for the slave main spindle (19). When the synchronizing error is larger than a predetermined limit value, the command value for the slave main spindle is gradually compensated in order to prevent the compensated command value from changing too abruptly.

Abstract: A digitizing tablet is disclosed in which two sets of circuitous conductive lines form grids each connected at one end to a surrounding conductive loop. All outputs are measured from the conductive loop as a multiplexor sequentially grounds the grids one at a time. The outputs are fed through linear spatial filters which are used to produce intermediate signals which are in turn combined to arrive at raw position signals for a position indicating coil located over the work surface. Separate sets of linear spatial filters may be used to produce two raw position signals differently responsive to tilt which can then be combined to arrive at a true position signal insensitive to tilt.

Abstract: In this mobile apparatus (Figure 1), the agent is forced at constant regulable pressure through a pipeline 7 by means of compressed air 1 via a pressurised container 4 serving as active ingredient container.   The flow rate control valve 11 is a needle valve with electrical servomotor and regulates the required quantity of agent which is indicated in the flow rate counter 12 having indicating device 12a. This quantity control is velocity-dependent and can be controlled by means of computer electronics in order to discharge a uniform amount of agent onto the surface. The active ingredient is sprayed into the mixing container 9 via the angled nozzle 8 at a higher pressure than the pressure of the water 9a coming from the water reservoir pump. The cylindrical baffle 10 with inclined slots in the outside wall brings about a homogeneous mixing of the desired solution. Depending on the number (Figure 2) of the angled nozzles 8 used, various active ingredients can be simultaneously fed into the container 9. To prevent contamination of the operating staff, the agent is emptied out of the canister 5 via the filling hose 5a into the agent container 4 through a filling lock. The residual amount of the agent is drained back into the canister via the stopcock 6 and the emptying connection pipe 5a. <IMAGE>
