Abstract: An apparatus for the brewing of a beverage by transmission of an aqueous fluid through a sachet containing a beverage brewing ingredient. The apparatus includes one or more injectors to inject the aqueous fluid into the sachet during the brewing and a clamp for the sachet. The clamp has one or more members that are movable to open and close the clamp, the members having inner surfaces which in a closed position of the clamp define a cavity adapted to substantially enclose and support the sachet during the brewing. The members further define a beverage exit pathway in a lower part of the cavity wherein the inner surface of at least one clamp member includes at least one deformable region mounted on a support that is movable while the clamp is in the closed position. The shape of the cavity or of the exit pathway can be changed while the clamp is in the closed position to provide a desired brewing configuration of the sachet. The invention also provides methods of brewing beverages in such an apparatus and systems made up of the apparatus in combination with beverage sachets for use in methods of the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates the control of a gate (10) having at least one wing (11B) electrically operated preferably by a geared motor (13B) with a single-phase asynchronous motor. A control unit (20) detects and memorize during the calibration procedure the opening and closing times by computing the opening and closing working time intervals within which an intervention is necessary in order to avoid dangerous situations. During normal opening and closing operation, at the beginning of the stored time intervals, the unit (20) detects the steady current (Io) and computes a limit value (Io +  DELTA I) against which the instantaneous current (I) flowing into the geared motor is compared. When a value I is detected that is greater or equal to lo +  DELTA I, due to an obstacle for the movement of the wing, the geared motor automatically inverts its sense of rotation. USE : gates and doors with one or more wings, even different from each other regarding size and movement. ADVANTAGES : simplicity and low construction and calibration cost. Reliable operation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The system includes a transmitter (1) with a stage (9) susceptible to alter the signals transmitted, for instance distorting them. The effect of the alteration action made by the above mentioned stage (9) of the transmitter (1) is detected on the receiver side (2) generating a corresponding control signal (ci) destined to be re-transmitted to the transmitter (1), for instance using one of the service channels. Therefore, the transmitted signals can be subjected to pre-treatment, for instance through a pre-distorter (4) placed upstream the distorting stage (9). Preferential application to transmission of digital signals in systems in which the control signal (Ci) is generated with a feedback action based on the use of decision symbols (aR(n)) obtained at the demodulator output. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A PCV valve assembly including housing having a fluid inlet and outlet. A poppet valve is disposed in the housing between the fluid inlet and outlet and is moveable in an axial direction between a plurality of positions. A heating element having a positive temperature coefficient material is supported in the housing in proximity to at least a portion of the valve for automatically heating the valve in response to a given voltage. The material produces a first heat in response to a first temperature and the given voltage. The material produces a second heat less than the first heat produced in response to the given voltage and a second temperature greater than the first temperature. That is, the positive temperature coefficient material automatically regulates the flow of current and the temperature produced without the need of a thermostat in response to the same voltage. A hose may also be used defining an air passageway and having a length is connected between the fluid outlet and an intake manifold respectively at first and second connections. The hose has a heating element arranged substantially along the length for applying heat to the bare passageway. An electrical device is connected to the heating element for providing power to the heating element to generate heat. In this manner, air entering the intake manifold in proximity to the throttle blade is heated to maintain a higher temperature to prevent blade icing.
