Title: Method and apparatus for a beverage dispensing nozzle
Inventor: SANTY D JOHN JR
IPC: B67D1/08
Filed: 2004-08-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus for a beverage dispensing nozzle (10) equipped with at least one flow director (200) dispenses at lower flowrates. In a first embodiment, a single flavor beverage dispensing nozzle (10) equipped with at least one flow director (200) segments the flow and reduces the cross sectional area of the fluid stream, thereby forcing product to move downward. A second embodiment provides an improvement to an existing beverage dispensing nozzle, by adding at least one flow director (200) in an annular channel of the beverage dispensing nozzle. The addition of the at least one flow director (200) in the annular channel provides the beverage dispensing nozzle (10) with the ability to dispense product at lower flowrates by increasing the velocity component of the exiting product. The exiting product now has sufficient energy to separate from the beverage dispensing nozzle. Methods for using the beverage dispensing nozzles (10) with the at least one flow director (200) are also presented.

Patent CA-2562254-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MILLER MATTHEW R
IPC: H03M1/50
Filed: 2005-03-10
Abstract: A system and method for analog-to-digital conversion (118) using digital pulse width modulation (PWM) is disclosed. The method and system according to the disclosed invention converts an analog input signal (104) to a digital signal in pulse code modulated (PCM) form (106). The disclosed invention uses a feedback circuit (114) to perform PWM of the analog input signal. The PWM  signal is then decimated to obtain the digital signal in PCM form. The system according to the disclosed invention requires lower operating frequency and dissipates lesser power than prior art systems providing the same sampling frequency and resolution. The operation at a lower frequency is achieved by obtaining two samples from every pulse of the PWM signal; the first sample being obtained from the right duty ratio. Further the disclosed invention has lesser implementation complexity and higher signal-to-noise ratio than prior art.

Title: Transmission mode and rate selection for a wireless communication system
Inventor: MEYLAN ARNAUD
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2005-05-05
Abstract: To select a transmission mode to use for a data transmission via a MIMO  channel from station A to station B, station A obtains channel information used for spatial processing and determines the age of this information.  Station A selects one of multiple transmission modes based on the age of the channel information and possibly other information (e.g., the fading characteristic of the MIMO channel). To select rate(s) to use for the data transmission, station A obtains channel state information (CSI) indicative of the received signal quality for the MIMO channel, e.g., received SNRs or "initial" rates. Station A determines the age of the CSI and selects one or more "final" rates based on the CSI, the age of the CSI, the selected transmission mode, and possibly other information. Station A processes data in accordance with the selected transmission mode and final rate(s) and transmits the processed data to station B.
