Abstract: A grinder (10) for dry waste materials includes a vertically-oriented, cylindrically-shaped housing having an opening at its upper end for receiving materials to be comminuted. The shredder element (25) has upwardly-extending impeller blades (32,34) disposed on its upper surface. The outer perimeter of the shredder element is separated from the inner wall of the housing sufficiently to provide a gap (21) through which comminuted materials can drop from the upper chamber (16) to the lower chamber (19) of the housing. The interior of the upper portion of the housing is provided around its circumference with diverger blades (28) that are angled downwardly in the direction of rotation of the shredder element. The lower housing has a closed bottom and a tangentially oriented discharge element (18) for discharge from the lower housing (19) of comminuted materials. The shredder element (25) has downwardly-extending paddles (38) on its lower surface that extend downwardly into the lower housing (19) and are adapted to sweep the lower housing, act as an air blower and expel comminuted materials therefrom. Optionally the shredder element is flattened on opposite sides, to provide enlarged openings (31) for movement of comminuted materials from the upper chamber into the lower chamber. The upwardly-extending impeller blades may optionally be Z-shaped.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for loading a ROM image into PROM comprises loading a ROM image into a dynamic random access memory, verifying the accuracy of the ROM image in the dynamic random access memory, and receiving a command to flash EPROM with the stored ROM image. A hardware interlock mechanism is deactivated by a two-step command procedure so as to enable flashing the EPROM. Specifically, a predetermined bit pattern is written to a first predetermined address on an address bus, one bit being latched to cause a flash signal to be output to a transistor switch and to be pre-loaded at a flip flop. A second predetermined address is read from so as to clock the flip flop. The output of the flip flop closes the transistor switch allowing the flash enable signal to reach the EPROM. The EPROM is erased, after which the ROM image is loaded into the PROM.

Abstract: The interleaving/deinterleaving region of compressed image data is restrictively determined in accordance with a predetermined maximum speed, and interleaving/deinterleaving is performed within the restricted interleaving/deinterleaving region. Various burst and random errors can be effectively processed and corrected, especially in variable speed play since the compressed image data is stored in and read out from a memory with a different format. In recording and reproduction, the compressed image data is scanned per data segment in zigzag form and the data sequence of the input data segment is changed, resulting in interleaving being performed with data continuity maintained. Error correction capability is improved by performing outer and inner coding with respect to the interleaved data.
