Title: In-feed weighing method and apparatus
Inventor: ARNASON INGOLFUR
IPC: G01G13/08
Filed: 2002-04-24
Granted: 2008-07-23
Abstract: The present invention provides an automatic method and apparatus for weighing into portions. Feeding of single units is performed by separating the feeding channels for rough feeding and fine feeding so that the feeding up to the weighing station is separated. When weighed portions are too large compared to a predetermined value, the apparatus rejects the portions and returns them back to the feeding stream. By separating the stream of units into fine weighing and rough weighing, with a rejection of unsatisfied portions, the portions can accurately be weighed with high performance with apparatus that is both inexpensive and space saving.

Abstract: A membrane process for the removal of sulfur species from a naphtha feed, in particular, a FCC light cat naphtha, without a substantial loss of olefin yield is disclosed. The process involves contacting a naphtha feed stream with a membrane having sufficient flux and selectivity to separate a sulfur deficient retentate fraction from a sulfur enriched permeate fraction, preferably, under pervaporation conditions. Sulfur deficient retentate fractions are useful directly into the gasoline pool. Sulfur-enriched permeate fractions are rich in sulfur containing aromatic and nonaromatic hydrocarbons and are further treated with conventional sulfur removal technologies, e.g. hydrotreating, to reduce sulfur content. The process of the invention provides high quality naphtha products having a reduced sulfur content and a high content of olefin compounds.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a mobile station such as a dual-mode, AMPS and CDMA, handset communicates with an AMPS base station in a wireless communication system. The mobile station includes an acoustic echo canceller, which can detect acoustic echo, for example, feedback from the handset speaker to the handset microphone, during communication between the mobile station and the base station, and cancel or eliminate the acoustic echo. The mobile station also includes a network echo suppressor coupled to the acoustic echo canceller. For example, the network echo suppressor can read a parameter set by the acoustic echo canceller. The network echo suppressor attenuates or mutes a network echo caused by portions of the communication returning to the mobile station from the base station after a network propagation delay. Coupling the network echo suppressor to the acoustic echo canceller ensures proper interaction between the network echo suppressor and acoustic echo canceller.

Abstract: Methods of implanting an annuloplasty ring to correct maladies of the mitral annulus that not only reshapes the annulus but also reconfigures the adjacent left ventricular muscle wall. The ring may be continuous and is made of a relatively rigid material, such as Stellite. The ring has a generally oval shape that is three-dimensional at least on the posterior side. A posterior portion of the ring rises or bows upward from adjacent sides to pull the posterior aspect of the native annulus farther up than its original, healthy shape. In doing so, the ring also pulls the ventricular wall upward which helps mitigate some of the effects of congestive heart failure. Further, one or both of the posterior and anterior portions of the ring may also bow inward.

Abstract: An automated system and method for individually processing multiple specimens of particulate matter-containing liquid in respective containers. The containers are transported seriatim along a processing path to present them to, at least, a preprocessing apparatus (e.g., a mixing head), and then to a specimen acquisition apparatus, which removes preprocessed specimen fluid from the container for subsequent analytical testing or evaluation. Each apparatus is actuated in response to presentation of a container thereto so as to carry out its respective operation independently. An exemplary system can include, in sequential order, stations for container loading and unloading, container uncapping and cap disposal, specimen mixing, filter loading, specimen acquisition (e.g., by aspiration, and then slide printing), filter disposal, and container resealing. The system is capable of unattended operation for many hours at a time, and can interface with an integrated data management system to provide fully integrated specimen and information management in a complete diagnostic laboratory system.

Abstract: A closure cap for openings on motor vehicle radiators is provided with a cap inner part that is held on a cap outer part. A valve assembly for opening and blocking a flow connection between the inside of the reservoir and the outside of the reservoir is held inside said cap inner part. The valve assembly comprises a valve body, which can move in a to-and-fro manner, is pressed in a pretensioned manner by spring action against a sealing seat on the cap inner part, and which can be lifted from the sealing seat when a specified limit value of the internal pressure of the reservoir is exceeded. The aim of the invention is to provide a closure cap of the aforementioned type whose sealing seat, which is located between the cap inner part and the valve body facing said cap inner part, undergoes a definable reduction of tension when the venting flow path is opened. To this end, the sealing seat on the cap inner part is formed by an O-ring, which is held inside an axially open annular groove, and this annular groove is radially enlarged by venting pockets provided on a circumferential edge.
