Granted: 2007-07-10
Abstract: A beverage brewer (10) comprises a storage tank (14) adapted to contain a supply of liquid, and a metering chamber (16) structured and arranged to be filled with a metered amount of liquid received from the storage tank (14) via an inlet in communication therewith. A brewing chamber (44) is structured and arranged to receive a beverage filter cartridge (46) containing a dry beverage medium. A baffle (30) in the storage tank (14) is shiftable from an open position accommodating liquid flow between the storage tank (14) and the metering chamber (16) via its inlet to a closed position preventing such flow and isolating the metering chamber (16) from the storage tank (14). During a brewing cycle, liquid is delivered from the thus isolated metering chamber (16) to the brewing chamber (44) for combination with the beverage medium contained in the filter cartridge (46). At the conclusion of the brewing cycle, the baffle (30) is returned to its open position, thereby allowing the metering chamber (16) to be refilled with liquid received from the storage tank (14) via its inlet.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé, à un système et à des programmes informatiques permettant d'améliorer la qualité d'image d'au moins un schéma intermédiaire prédit de manière bidirectionnelle dans un système de compression d'images vidéo dans lequel chaque schéma comprend plusieurs pixels. Selon un aspect, le procédé selon l'invention consiste à déterminer la valeur de chaque pixel de chaque schéma intermédiaire prédit de manière bidirectionnelle en tant que proportion pondérée des valeurs de pixel correspondantes dans des schémas prédits de manière non bidirectionnelle délimitant la séquence des schémas intermédiaires prédits de manière bidirectionnelle. Dans un mode de réalisation, la proportion pondérée est une fonction de la distance entre les schémas prédits de manière non bidirectionnelle de délimitation. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la proportion pondérée est une fonction mélangée de la distance entre les schémas prédits de manière non bidirectionnelle de délimitation et une moyenne égale des schémas prédits de manière non bidirectionnelle de délimitation. Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, l'interpolation des valeurs de pixel est réalisée sur des représentations dans un espace linéaire, ou dans d'autres espaces non linéaires optimisés qui diffèrent d'une représentation originale non linéaire.

Title: Short cell multiplexed atm transmission system and transmission method
Inventor: TAMURA MOTOSHI
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1996-10-11
Granted: 2010-07-20
Abstract: A short cell multiplexing is provided for chiefly transmitting data shorter than the payload of a standard ATM cell (basically the data of less than 48 bytes, but the data more than 48 bytes can be allowed). A standard ATM cell assembler 1 converts various forms of input information into short cells, places the short cells in standard ATM cells efficiently considering their information length, and output them to a B/ISDN network 7. The standard ATM cell disassembler 2 disassembles the standard ATM cells, which are assembled by the standard ATM cell assembler 1 and is input through the B-ISDN network 7, into short cells, converts the short cells into those with the original input information forms, and outputs them to channels. The configuration makes it possible for the short cell ATM cell multiplexing to improve channel efficiency with small delay, and matching to the standard ATM system.

Inventor: ROTSTEIN RON
IPC: H04L12/12
Filed: 2005-02-17
Granted: 2009-10-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus for frequency correction of a signal in a wireless local area network (WLAN) communication system is disclosed. The signal is processed to determine a frequency offset estimate which is a frequency deviation of the signal from a local oscillator. The signal is then shifted by an amount corresponding to a frequency correction estimate where the frequency correction estimate is an averaged value of the frequency offset estimate and at least one prior frequency offset estimate. Finally, the frequency correction estimate is utilized to correct signals in the WLAN communication system.

Granted: 2010-04-27
Abstract: A belt junction belt conveyor in which a thick periphery (a convex part) of a belt is elastically held after the belt is rewound by an upper and lower inclined pulleys so that the belt can travel smoothly with suppressing bias due to belt rewinding. In this mechanism, a junction belt 7 is disposed in an inclined manner to have a predetermined degree, for example, 45° to a confluence of a carrier line 3, in which a pair of upper and lower inclined pulleys 11, 12 are arranged adjacent to the disposed part, and both end pulleys 8, 9 are mounted on a position where a double angle of the predetermined angle is maintained while keeping a distance from each other at the disposed side so that an advancing aide belt and a returning side belt 7, respectively, are rewound by the upper and lower inclined pulleys 11, 12 to travel toward each of the end pulleys 8, 9. A roundish thick periphery 7a is provided at both edges in the cross direction of front surface or back surface of the belt 7. Spring type holder units 20a, 20b, and 20c for elastically holding the roundish thick periphery 7a are mounted on the right edge of an advancing side belt immediately before the upper inclined pulley 11, an the left edge of a rewinding belt traveling between the upper inclined pulley 11 and the first end pulley 8, and on the right edge of a returning belt traveling to the second end pulley 9 side after rewinding at the lower inclined pulley 12, respectively, so that the meandering tendency of the belt occurring from being rewound by the upper and lower inclined pulleys 11, 12 is effectively prevented.

Filed: 2005-08-19
Granted: 2008-12-23
Abstract: A portable survey instrument and methodology yield intensity of neutron radiation, intensity of gamma radiation, and a direction of impinging gamma radiation. The instrument uses a neutron detector surrounded by an essentially rectangular moderator with preferably four gamma ray detectors disposed symmetrically about the neutron detector and within the moderator. Material and dimensions of the moderator are selected so that the neutron measurement is equally sensitive to fast and thermal neutrons. The moderator also induces angular responses to the gamma ray detectors. Responses of the gamma ray detectors are combined to yield a parameter indicative of the angular position of a source. The survey instrument is portable and suited for hand held use.
