Title: Method and apparatus for roasting coffee beans
Inventor: LEMME ANTHONY R
IPC: A23N12/10
Filed: 2000-01-04
Abstract: A roasting apparatus for coffee beans comprises a housing and a horizontal drum on the housing rotatable about an axis with an opening on a first end thereof for receiving and discharging beans and a plurality of openings on a second end opposite the first end of size sufficient to pass air and insufficient to pass the beans. The apparatus includes a heater in the housing capable of heating the drum to roast the beans and a fan adapted to move air through the first and second ends of the drum. A pair of doors pivotally mounted on a common hinge between the fan and the drum are movable between a closed position during roasting substantially blocking passage of free flow of air through the drum and an open position permitting free flow of the air once the beans are sufficiently roasted. A chaff collector is secured to the housing at an end opposite the drum first end. The collector has a plurality of openings of size sufficient to pass air and insufficient to pass chaff from the beans. When the beans are sufficiently roasted, the fan moves air through-the opening in the first end of the drum and the open doors and cause chaff to be removed from the roasted beans or other food and carried with the air through the openings in the second end of the drum. The chaff is then collected within the chaff collector as the air passes through the openings therein.

Title: Conversion of a pcm signal into a upwm signal
Inventor: RISBO LARS
IPC: H03M5/08
Filed: 1997-03-26
Abstract: To correct non-linearity and noise in the conversion of a pulse code modulated signal (PCM) into a uniform pulse width modulated signal (UPWM), a model is made of the known non-linearity in the conversion by dividing a plurality of non-linearity components in the model, where the polynomial components are separately weighed with filter coefficients. The model is used as a basis for the construction of a filter of the Hammerstein type whose non-linear parts consist of a division of the PCM signal into a plurality of powers, and whose linear parts are approximated by means of the model made. With the circuit of the invention it is now possible to construct a purely digital amplifier which has a great efficiency, low weight, etc.

Title: Inter-system calling supporting inter-system soft handoff
Inventor: LEE KUO-CHUN
IPC: H04W36/14
Filed: 1997-05-01
Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing an inter-system soft handoff is described. In accordance with the present invention, when a subscriber unit crosses from a first cellular system to a second cellular system, a base station controller determines if sufficient network resources are available to conduct a inter-system soft handoff. If so, the base station controller generates a set of signaling messages that cause call processing resource to be allocated and for the call to be processed at the second cellular system. The base station controller then perform data-selection and data-broadcast for the call by transmitting data to the subscriber unit by way of the second cellular system as well as via one or more base stations to which the base station controller is directly coupled. The determination as to whether sufficient network resources are available to conduct the inter-system soft handoff is based on the type of connection that exists between the first cellular system and the second cellular system, the number of inter-system calls being conducted, and the frame offset of the call currently being processed.
