Abstract: Method and apparatus for processing of ice cream confections, having constant-velocity confection pick-up function which is uninterrupted by pausing confection-drop function. A confection conveyor system having two cooperating conveyor sections (10,70) has a constant-velocity confection-receiving station (22) on the first conveyor section (10) and a pausing confection-drop station (18) on the second conveyor section (70). A serial stream of confections is obtained from a constant-velocity serial stream of confections on the first conveyor section at an intermediate transfer station between the two conveyor sections. At the confection-drop station located in the second conveyor section one confection is dropped on each lane of several parallel lanes on an off-line confection wrapper. The confections are dropped substantially without horizontal motion as received by the wrapper.

Abstract: A circuit (14) and method which determine a degree of membership of an input in a membership set during a fuzzy logic operation. The degree of membership is calculated by a single "MEM" software instruction. The MEM instruction determines whether the system input has a degree of membership of zero, of a saturation level, or of some value in between. An operand assignment circuit (50) and an ALU (56) allow circuit (14) to determine the degree of membership more quickly. Assignment circuit (50) determines a multiplier for a multiplication operation based on a number of significant bits in the values to be multiplied. If the multiplier is smaller than the multiplicand, shorter multiplication operations may be performed. Additionally, ALU (56) operates in a split mode of operation which is able to perform two eight bit subtraction or multiplication operations concurrently which also results in these operations being performed more efficiently.

Abstract: A multi-pole group-operated switch (10) is provided for electrical power distribution circuits. The switch (10) is self-contained and suited for ease of use with various line spacings and arrangements of the distribution lines; e.g., side-by-side (horizontal plane), phase-over-phase, and cable drops. The switch includes a plurality of switch-pole units (12,14,16) carried at desired spacings by a base support and drive arrangement (20,24). Each of the switch-pole units includes a housing (114 of 70), interrupting contacts (21,23), and disconnect contacts (42,80). The housing (114 of 70) that encloses the interrupting contacts (21,23) is movable to perform the disconnect function. The base support and drive arrangement (20,24) encloses a high-speed interrupting linkage (20) for operation of the interrupting contacts (21,23) of each of the switch-pole units (12,14,16) and carries an operating mechanism (18) that is connected to the interrupting linkage (20) internal to a base support member (24) of the base support and drive arrangement (20,24). The switch (10) also includes a disconnect linkage (72) to move the switch-pole housings (114 of 70). For manual operation of the disconnect function, an operating handle (76) is provided. The operating handle (76) and the operating mechanism (18) are oriented and positioned relative to the switch in various predetermined locations that are desirable for the particular mounting configuration of the switch with respect to the line layout and the equipment pole. In a preferred embodiment, the switch includes integral dead-ending connection provisions (34 via 102,103) and also includes integral line-parameter sensing and power-supply provisions (e.g. 38,44) incorporated within one or more of the switch-pole units (12,14,16).

Abstract: A three-dimensional module for housing a plurality of integrated circuit chips is shown. The IC chips (110) are mounted in rows on a plurality of substrates (100a, 100b, 100c). Parallel to each row are communications bars (150) which provide signal paths allowing chips on one substrate to communicate with those on another substrate. The communications bars also serve as spacers between substrates, thereby forming cooling channels (160). The IC chips are disposed in the cooling channels so that they come into direct contact with the cooling fluid. Signal lines to and from the IC chips are kept as separated as possible from the power lines so as to minimize noise. To this end, relatively thick power supply straps (170) are mounted to each substrate below each row of IC chips. The power supply straps are, in turn, connected to power feed straps (180) such that a very low impedance power supply path to the IC chips is maintained. The overall design of the three-dimensional structure of the present invention is highly modular to facilitate high yield fabrication and repair.

On the underside of the traveling sheet (1), a brush (4) consisting of rod-shaped brush elements is fixed on a backing table (3) between point A and point B over the entire region in the lateral widthwise direction of the sheet (1), a knife edge of the knife (2) is disposed close to a front end portion of the backing table (3), upon transfer of the knife in the lateral widthwise direction of the sheet the knife is raised to be disengaged from the brush and the sheet and then it is transferred and set in position. Thereafter, while the knife is being rotated, it is lowered to be engaged with the sheet and again cuts the sheet. In addition, paper powder produced as a result of cutting a sheet is removed by providing a suction box (16) extending over the entire region of the maximum lateral width of the sheet right under the disc-shaped knife (2). Furthermore, grindstones (26,27 and 29) for grinding the knife edge of the disc-shaped knife are provided so as to be movable in the axial direction of a shaft (11) of the disc-shaped knife (2), and in addition, there is provided a felt (34) immersed in soapy water for peeling off paste from the knife (2).

Abstract: Described is a chamber for processing a substrate, e.g. a semiconductor wafer, in which the chamber houses a domed pedestal (18) for supporting the substrate inside the chamber and a clamp ring (32) having a seat (31) formed therein. The seat (31) receives and holds down the periphery of the substrate onto the domed pedestal (18) and includes a substrate engaging surface (34) which engages and holds down the periphery of the substrate. In use the substrate engaging surface (34) defines an angle α to the horizontal which is greater than or equal to the angle β to the horizontal defined by a tangent to the domed pedestal (18) at the point where the periphery of the substrate is held down onto the pedestal (18). Preferably, the angle α to the horizontal defined by the substrate engaging surface (34) is about 3° greater than the angle β of the tangent to the domed pedestal (18) at the point where the substrate is held down onto the pedestal (18). Furthermore described is an improved clamp ring.

Abstract: Providing a method to minimize the response time of a computerized database system (100) to solve a problem (10). The database system (100) has more than one resource (102, 104, 106, 108) that are capable of running in parallel. The problem (10) is divided into sub-problems (10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19) which are arranged into a hierarchy of levels (1, 2, 3). Each sub-problem (11, 12, 13) in a first level (1) requires that data be retrieved from a storage resource (106, 108); each sub-problem (10, 15, 17, 19) in a higher level (2, 3) requires that a result from a sub-problem in a lower level be manipulated in a computation resource (102, 104). All the sub-plans (20, 22, 50, 52) that could solve each sub-problem (11, 15) are identified. Delete every sub-plan (22, 50) that requires more time from each of the resources (102, 104, 106, 108) than is required by another sub-plan (20, 52) in solving the same sub-problem (11, 15) . A response time is computed for each possible combination of the remaining sub-plans that would solve the problem (10); the combination having the lowest response time is selected as the optimal plan (60). Preferably, the invented method deletes sub-plans that requires the system to perform too much extra work in minimizing response time. The invented method can be used to solve a class of problem known as select-project-join query.
