Title: Process for producing beverages from nut butter and the product therefrom
Inventor: STODDARD MICHAEL G
IPC: A23L11/00
Filed: 1999-02-03
Abstract: A non-dairy, nut based beverage concentrate and a directly consumable product, and processes for producing same. At least two or more certain essential ingredients are mixed with and dispersed throughout the nut butter, these essential ingredients ensure that the consumable beverage will exhibit and maintain for long periods of time, the desired characteristics of a milk-like beverage. Optional ingredients such as sugar, flavoring, vitamins, salt, and the like may also be added to the mixture. Potable water is then added to the nut butter mixture, and the combination is subjected to high shear mixing, producing an unprocessed nut beverage. Finally, pasteurization, partial cooling, homogenizing, and further cooling are undertaken, and the resultant fully processed nut beverage may be packaged, using aseptic or refrigerated methods.

Title: Real-time welding system
Inventor: CURCURI JEREMY J
IPC: G01D5/20
Filed: 1999-04-08
Abstract: A welding system (10) for real-time weld quality detection during resistance welding of a workpiece (26, 28) has a sensor assembly (66) including a winding (68) and a core (70) mounted generally coaxially within the cylinder (32) of the welding gun (30). A piston (34, 36) and piston rod (38) assembly are mounted for coaxial movement within the cylinder (32). The piston rod (38) has an end protruding from the cylinder (32) for affixing an electrode (16) thereto. Axial movement of the piston rod (38) relative to the cylinder (32) causes axial movement of the core (70) relative to the winding (68) to vary a length of core and winding overlap. The sensor assembly (66) produces an output signal based on the length of core and winding overlap to indicate piston rod position relative to the cylinder (32). Weld control logic (76) receiving the sensor assembly output controls welding of the workpiece (26, 28) in real-time.

Title: Method for addressing a bitstream recording
Inventor: SCHILLER HARALD
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 1999-08-26
Abstract: In bitstream recording presen-tation data is organised into Video Object Units. These have a vari-able size but have also a variable duration. To allow access to any Video Object Unit in the bitstream a housekeeping address table is used which is based on pieces (VOBU#n) of the bitstream of constant size per piece. The address table addition-ally contains for each of these pieces a specific delta duration (.DELTA.DUR#n) which indicates the time difference between the arrival time of the first packet of a piece and the arrival time of the packet following immediately the last packet of that piece. The computation of the target VOBU  ad-dress includes the following steps:  accumulate the delta durations until the given time value is most closely reached towards the target VOBU;  the running index of this table entry multiplied by the constant piece size directly results in the address value to be accessed.

Title: Neural retinal cells and retinal pigment epithelium cells and their use in treatment of retinal disorders
Inventor: EDGE ALBERT
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 1999-08-25
Abstract: Compositions comprising porcine retinal cells and methods for using the compositions to treat retinal disorders are described. The porcine retinal cells are preferably fetal neural retina cells or retinal pigment epithelial  cells. The porcine retinal cells can be modified to be suitable for transplantation into a xenogeneic subject, such as a human. For example, the  porcine retinal cells can be modified such that an antigen (e.g., an MHC cla ss I antigen) on the cell surface which is capable of stimulating an immune response against the cell in a xenogeneic subject is altered (e.g., by conta ct with an anti-MHC class I antibody, or a fragment or derivative thereof) to inhibit rejection of the cell when introduced into the subject. In one embodiment, the porcine retinal cells are obtained from a pig predetermined to be free from organisms which originate in pig and which are capable of transmitting infection or disease to the recipient subject. The porcine retinal cells of the present invention can be used to treat a xenogeneic subject having a retinal disorder (e.g., a human with retinis pigmentosa, light damaged retina and macular degeneration) by introducing the cells into  the retina of the subject.

Title: Fluid control system with autonomously controlled valves
Inventor: HOYLE SCOTT BAXTER
IPC: B63B43/10
Filed: 2001-06-26
Abstract: A plurality of autonomously controlled valves in a fluid distribution system are interconnected by a data communication network. The system also includes fluid flow sensors which report to the system by way of the network. The autonomous controllers include information as to their neighbors or environment sufficient to determine malfunctions such as a leak or break in an associated path, and can take autonomous action. The actions are established by the autonomous controllers regardless of the existence of a connection to the network, so that even if the network connection fails or is damaged, the valve can still respond to its own flow sensor with predetermined actions.
