Title: Dispositif de montage
Inventor: HETRICH A RONALD
IPC: F16D1/094
Filed: 1995-01-03
Granted: 2002-03-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de montage pour ancrer un élément (11) de machine ayant un alésage conique (13) agencé d'une manière coaxiale sur un arbre rotatif (12). Le dispositif s'adapte entre l'alésage conique (13) et la surface cylindrique (14) de l'arbre (12) et il est efficace pour positionner l'élément en une position longitudinale quelconque et en une position angulaire quelconque sur la circonférence de l'arbre (12). Le dispositif a un manchon segmenté interne (21) et un manchon segmenté externe (22), dont les surfaces correspondantes ont une conicité similaire, de sorte qu'un déplacement axial relatif des manchons (21, 22) provoque l'expansion et la contraction de l'alésage interne et de la surface externe des éléments combinés. La rotation d'un écrou à filetage interne (23) à une extrémité du dispositif influe sur le déplacement axial relatif du manchon interne (21) et du manchon externe (22) pour assurer l'expansion et la contraction du manchon externe (22) sans exercer de contrainte excessive sur le matériau du manchon ou de l'écrou (23).

Title: Manufacture of particulate natural cheese without block formation
Inventor: MEIBACH RONALD LOUIS
IPC: A23C19/06
Filed: 1996-11-22
Granted: 2004-08-17
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for making a particulate natural cheese suitable for preparation of processed cheese, as well as for use as a natural cheese, such as a snack food and shreds for cheese toppings. In the method, a milk coagulum is provided. The coagulum is cut to provide particulate cheese curds and whey. The cheese curd is cooked while undergoing agitation. Thereafter, whey is drained from the cheese curd while the cheese curd is continuously agitated. The cheese curd is then cooled or dried sufficiently to maintain the cheese curd as separate particles. Agitation may be used during or immediately after the cooling or drying step to insure separation of the cheese particles. The cheese particles formed may form friable lumps but do not knit during storage. The cheese particles are then packed into relatively large containers holding from about 1,000 to about 2,500 pounds of cheese curd or may be bulk packed in rail cars or trucks. The containers are preferably bulk bags with a liner of plastic or other disposable material. The liners are gas flushed before and during filling to reduce the oxygen content and inhibit mold growth. The liners may be disposed of after use in transporting the cheese curd to a final destination. The bulk bags are reusable with fresh liners.      In an alternate embodiment, the cheese curd is drained without agitation to provide a cheese mat. The cheese mat is milled into cheese pieces prior to the cooling step.

Title: Improved oilseed brassica bearing an endogenous oil with desirable levels of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids
Inventor: GRANT IAN
IPC: A01H5/10
Filed: 1996-02-28
Granted: 2010-10-05
Abstract: An improved Brassica oilseed, an improved plant capable of forming the same, and an improved edible endogenous vegetable oil dereived from oilseed Brassica are provided. The edible endogenous vegetable oil of the present invention possesses an improved distribution of fatty acids following crushing and extraction in the absence of hydrogenation or other chemical or physical modification. The alpha-linolenic acid content is less than 3.5 percent by weight, the oleic acid content is at least 77 percent by weight, the total saturated fatty acid content is no more than 4.5 percent by weight, and the erucic acid content is no more than 2 percent by weight based upon the total fatty acid content. Each of the recited characteristics of the oil is controlled by genetic means and surprisingly is simultaneously expressed (e.g., in the field under conventional oilseed Brassica growing conditions) in the absence of cancellation as the result of the formation of the other recited traits. The improved Brassica oilseed is capable of forming upon germination a plant having satisfactory agronomic characteristics which yields following self-pollination Brassica oilseeds that possess the specified improved distribution of fatty acids within the oil that is present therein.
Patent CA-2215738-C (CA)
Inventor: SCHWARZLI JOSEF W
IPC: G07F1/06
Filed: 1997-09-17
Granted: 2005-08-02
Abstract: The invention provides a rotary coin mechanism in which the mechanism is provided with a boss which projects into the rotational path of the token. The boss allows rotation of the token carrier only if a token seated in the token receptacle is provided with a recess or groove complimentary to the boss and configured to approximate the rotational path of the token. In the preferred embodiment the groove has a first portion which is in line with the boss and a second portion which is offset from the first portion and connected thereto by a cam surface. As the token cycles past the boss, the boss passes from the first portion into the second portion of the groove and lifts the token within the token receptacle at the perimeter measuring point, so that only if the second portion of the groove is precisely positioned in the face of the token will the perimeter measuring device allow the token to pass. In a preferred embodiment the mechanism is also provided with a guide in the token receptacle comprising a pair of ribs compatible with one or more complimentary recesses or grooves in the token, to allow for insertion of the token. The preferred token thus has grooves in two directions: a first direction which is the direction of insertion of the token, and a second direction which is relatively orthogonal to the first and approximates the rotational path of the token as it is conveyed to the dispensing point by the token carrier. Also, in the preferred embodiment the grooves on opposite sides of the token are each formed deeper than one-half of the thickness of the token, so the points where these grooves intersect result in open spaces.

Title: Timer manager
Inventor: FIACCO PETER
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 1996-04-26
Granted: 2000-07-25
Abstract: A method and apparatus for establishing a large number of EDTOV timers (TIMER  0-TIMER 2047), each determining when an event has failed to occur on an exchange of a communications protocol. Values for each timer are maintained as a timer array. The entire timer array is read at regular scan intervals by a state machine (102) and decremented by four associated hardware decrementers (113a-113d), four timers at one time. Active time values are read, checked for zero, decremented, and written back to the timer array. If a timer is detected as having timed out, then a value is logged into a time-out FIFO and "FF"h is written back into the timer. The invention uses dedicated hardware (101) to decrement or otherwise alter the values of each timer, and a dedicated state machine (102) to read values for each timer, provide the value to the hardware (101), and then load the new value of each timer back into memory.

An envelope ventilation duct means directs the envelope ventilation air stream into the envelope, and a cabin duct means directs the cabin ventilation air stream into the cabin. An anti-corrosion/sorption treatment is applied to surfaces subject to condensation in the envelope. A return air control means is provided for selectively drawing return air from either one of the envelope and the cabin. The environment control system can be incorporated into new aircraft construction, or can be installed as a retro-fit into existing aircraft.
