Title: Ribbon cutter apparatus and method for making sandwich baked goods
Inventor: ROBINSON CHRIS E
IPC: B29C48/305
Filed: 2009-10-28
Abstract: A method for the continuous production of sandwich baked goods having a high volume of filler includes conveying a bottom base cake, detecting the position of the base cake, and extruding a filler through a die aperture to form a ribbon in response to the detection of the position of the bottom base cake.

Patent CA-2707270-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BERSCHEID BRIAN
IPC: H04B3/14
Filed: 2010-06-15
Abstract: In an RF signal transmission network such as the reverse channels of a coaxial cable network, there is provided at least one adaptive equalizer for pre- or post- filtering inter-symbol interference in the transmitted signals, the adaptive equalizer having a series of coefficients for which values are required. In order to improve the transmission efficiency the preamble used in these channels is shortened by coarsely estimating the channel using a short "unique word' placed at the beginning of the equalizer training sequence. The coarse channel estimate is crudely inverted to produce a set of equalizer coefficients which partially equalize the channel.  By initializing the adaptive equalizer with these approximate coefficients, it is possible to reduce the length of the training sequence needed for the equalizer to converge.
