Abstract: An improved system for providing an individually customized fresh brewed coffee beverage on demand by a customer, in a wide range of variety and strength. Said brewing system for making relatively large quantities of fresh brewed coffee beverages (in particular, customized as to desired variety, body, character and/or strengths), as chosen by multiple individual consumers just prior to their consumption. Said system is easy to use by the consumer or other individual (e.g., restaurant wait staff) obtaining the customized beverage. Further, maintenance of the equipment requires only a small amount of personal attention by the owner/operator of the equipment. A general object of the present invention is to utilize "delayed dilution" of a concentrated extract to provide a beverage brewing system which immediately (upon customer selection) provides selective dilution (based on individual consumer's selections) of a fresh-brewed coffee extract after the extract has been allowed to brew and held as an extract before dilution. It is also a general object of the present invention to utilize the undiluted extract to mix and dissolve other beverage compounds to make flavored coffees, cappuccinos, lattes, and the like. "Delayed mixing" and/or "delayed filtering" may also be utilized.

Abstract: A method of measuring human brain activity includes the steps of simultaneously measuring pulses at two locations on a human subject that each receives blood from a different carotid artery that feeds a respective one of left and right hemispheres of the brain of the human subject, determining pulse characteristics from the measured pulses, and evaluating relative left and right hemisphere activity of the brain of the human subject based on the determined pulse characteristics. The method may use dual photoplethysmograhic blood pulse sensors that measure left and right hemisphere activity by determining pulse amplitude difference and time or phase differences between the earlobes while the subject carries out various mental functions. The data from the sensors are processed to provide a measure of brain function and the mental activity of the subject.

Abstract: In a remote battery charging system comprising a charging circuit there is always a voltage loss due to inherent resistances in the system from such things as connectors and conductors. These resistances create voltages losses in the system such that charging times are increased substantially. The present invention compensates for voltage losses on the system by generating a dynamic adjustment voltage over the charging period. A voltage translator circuit is used to measure charging circuit output voltage and current over a plurality of incremental time periods during the charging period an calculate a signal proportional to changes in output voltage and current over the incremental time period. The signal is then applied to the charging circuit to offset any voltage losses.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to create an embossing device for at least two-layered planar products such as toilet paper, tissues, or similar, which makes it possible to easily make high-quality planar products that are provided with decorative patterns. Said aim is achieved by an embossing device for at least two-layered planar products such as toilet paper, tissues, and similar, comprising at least one first and at least one second couple of rollers, each of which is composed of an embossing roller and a squeezer. The embossing roller of the first couple is provided with a plurality of embossing points at a number of about 20 to 70 per cm2, preferably up to about 45 per cm2, said embossing points being evenly distributed across the entire embossing area of the embossing roller, in order to create a planar microembossed design on at least one layered web. The embossing roller of the second couple encompasses first and second areas that are distributed across the embossing area thereof. The first areas are equipped with a plurality of embossing points at a number of about 45 to about 70 per cm2 in order to create a planar microembossed design on at least one additional layered web while the second areas have no embossing points, form a maximum of 40 percent of the entire embossing area, and are not interconnected. The inventive embossing device further comprises at least one gluing station which is arranged adjacent to the embossing roller of the second couple, downstream from the respective squeezer, and by means of which glue is applied to the embossing points of the embossing roller. The embossing rollers are placed relative to one another so as to form a nip for joining the embossed layered webs. A joining roller is positioned downstream from the nip, adjacent to the embossing roller of the first couple, in order to connect the layered webs.
