Title: Electromagnetic exposure chamber for improved heating
Inventor: JOINES WILLIAM T
IPC: H05B6/76
Filed: 1998-12-16
Granted: 2004-03-18
Abstract: The present invention utilizes dielectric slabs to provide a relatively uniform electromagnetic field to a cavity between two or more dielectric slabs. Each dielectric slab is a thickness equal to or nearly equal to a quarter of a wavelength of the electromagnetic field in the dielectric slab. In a particular embodiment, sample material is introduced into the cavity between the two dielectric slabs. This sample material may be introduced through one or more openings in the dielectric slabs. In further embodiments, specialized choke flanges prevent the leakage of energy from this cavity. In a preferred embodiment, an elliptical conducting surface directs the electromagnetic field to a focal region between the two dielectric slabs. Openings to this focal region allow sample material to be passed through this region of focused heating.

Title: Sanitary can carriers
Inventor: ADAMI ARTHUR E
IPC: B65D71/50
Filed: 1992-08-07
Granted: 1996-04-18
Abstract: Can carriers are provided with upwardly protruding can-receiving members having oppositely paired can-receiving recesses and can-stacking platforms. The can-receiving recesses each are defined by an annular locking ring is joined to a protective inverted cup-shaped cover wall sized and configured to closely correspond to the top bead of a conventional can. The locking ring thus seats below the top bead of the can thereby removably locking the can to the can carrier. A camming surface downwardly and radially outwardly extends from the locking ring and assists during the forcible insertion of a can into the can-receiving recess by urging the locking ring to bend and/or flex radially outwardly a sufficient amount to allow for the diametrically larger top bead to pass thereby. Once the top bead is seated in the can-receiving recess, the locking ring will again resiliently return to its normal state. Paired finger openings are preferably provided in association with a raised pad region. Structurally reinforcing rib elements may also be provided with the pad regions.

Title: Method and appartus for encoding a video signal using feature point based motion estimation
Inventor: JUNG HAE MOOK
IPC: H04N19/59
Filed: 1995-05-06
Granted: 1999-10-07
Abstract: An apparatus for encoding a digital video signal to reduce a transmission rate of the digital video signal, which comprises a feature point based motion compensation circuit for selecting a set of feature points from the reconstructed reference frame to detect a set of motion vectors between a current frame and a original reference frame corresponding to the set of feature points by using a feature point based motion estimation, and for generating a second predicted frame based on the set of motion vectors and the reconstructed reference frame. The feature point based motion estimation employs a convergence process in which a displacement of each of the feature points are given to a motion vector thereof and the six triangles of each of the hexagon are affine-transformed independently using the displacements of their vertex feature points. If the displacements provide a better PSNR, the motion vector of the subject feature point is sequentially updated. Therefore, the inventive convergence process is very efficient in the matching process to determine the predicted image as close as possible to the original image having zooming, rotation or scaling of objects.

Title: Modified atmosphere package with accelerated reduction of oxygen level in meat compartment
Inventor: CARR DANIEL G
IPC: B65D81/26
Filed: 1999-03-26
Granted: 2001-09-06
Abstract: A modified atmosphere package includes first and second compartments separated by a partition member that is substantially permeable to oxygen. The first compartment contains an oxygen scavenger activated with an oxygen scavenger accelerator. The second compartment contains a retail cut of raw meat.

Title: Apparatus for producing orthohydrogen and/or parahydrogen
Inventor: CHAMBERS STEPHEN BARRIE
IPC: C25B9/17
Filed: 1999-06-21
Granted: 2005-09-29
Abstract: An apparatus for producing orthohydrogen and/or parahydrogen. The apparatus includes a container holding water and at least one pair of closely-spaced electrodes arranged within the container and submerged in the water. A first power supply provides a particular first pulsed signal to the electrodes. A coil may also be arranged within the container and submerged in the water if the production of parahydrogen is also required. A second power supply provides a second pulsed signal to the coil through a switch to apply energy to the water. When the second power supply is disconnected from the coil by the switch and only the electrodes receive a pulsed signal, then orthohydrogen can be produced. When the second power supply is connected to the coil and both the electrodes and coil receive pulsed signals, then the first and second pulsed signals can be controlled to produce parahydrogen. The container is self-pressurized and the water within the container requires no chemical catalyst to efficiently produce the orthohydrogen and/or parahydrogen. Heat is not generated, and bubbles do not form on the electrodes.

Title: Method of constructing fully dense metal molds and parts
Inventor: TOBIN JAMES ROBERT
IPC: B22C9/04
Filed: 1996-01-05
Granted: 1999-09-09
Abstract: A method of constructing a fully dense metal part or a metal mold half for mating with another mold half to form a mold for casting multiple parts. Steps include placing a pattern in a tubular mold base, casting a ceramic member onto critical surfaces of the pattern, removing the pattern from the mold base, covering the critical surfaces transferred to the ceramic member with a powdered metal having a melting temperature greater than that of an infiltration metal, placing a quantity of an infiltration metal over the powdered metal, placing the tubular mold base in a furnace at a temperature sufficient to melt the infiltration metal without melting the powdered metal, and removing the ceramic member from the first open end of the tubular mold base to expose the critical surfaces. The quantity of the infiltration metal is sufficient to fill voids between the particles of the powdered metal when the infiltration metal is melted, thereby generating a fully dense metal part. The metal part has the critical surfaces transferred from the ceramic member when the infiltration metal solidifies. The metal powder also acts as a filter to filter out any contamination or oxidized metal within the infiltration metal so that such contamination does not blemish the finished surface of the fully dense metal part.
