IPC: A47J37/08
Filed: 2005-12-15
Abstract: A dual function heating and toasting apparatus is provided for radiantly heating or surface toasting bread-type food products. The apparatus includes a housing defining a heating/toasting chamber. A generally vertically oriented, center fixed heating platen is disposed in the chamber. A pair of generally vertically oriented, movable heating platens are disposed on opposite sides of the center fixed platen. A gate is movably mounted on the housing near the bottoms of the platens for movement between a closed position to hold a product between the platens and an open position allowing a finished product to exit the chamber. A product such as a bagel can be placed into the chamber onto the gate between one of the movable platens and the fixed platen and spaced therefrom to heat the bagel by radiant heat. Alternatively, a product such as a bun can be placed in the chamber onto the gate and the movable platen moved to bias the bun against the fixed platen to surface toast the bun.     The gate is movable to the open position to allow the heated bagel or the toasted bun to exit the chamber.

Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: To facilitate saving of image data and movement of an image. An original image is displayed on a screen of a display device. An area to be extracted (cut out) from the displayed original image is designated by a mouse. Image data of an area other than the designated area is changed to image data representing a specified color. Pixel image data and coordinate data representing pixels in the (designated) area excluding the area of the specified color are produced. Pairs of the pixel image data and the coordinate data is stored. Alternatively, a set of pixel image data and a set of coordinate data are respectively compressed, and compressed pixel image data and the compressed coordinate data are stored: To perform proper color correction (conversion) even when a user image is inlaid in a template image to produce a composite image. A position, in which the user image is to be inlaid, on the template image is defined by mask information. The template image and the mask information are correlated with each other. The user image is inlaid in the position, on the template image, defined by the mask information, to produce a composite image. Data representing the produced composite image and the corresponding mask information are transmitted from a client computer to an image synthesizer. In the image synthesizer, the mask information is referred to, to separate the template image and the user image from the composite image. The template image and the user image, which have been separated from each other, are individually subjected to color correction in the image synthesizer. The template image and the user image, which have been respectively subjected to the color correction, are resynthesized.

Abstract: A method for communication between several nodes and a maste: in a communication network, wherein each node is assigned a time slot in which to transmit. The nodes are arranged in groups, so that the first group comprises all nodes inside the coverage area of the master. The second group is outside the coverage area of the master but inside the coverage area of any node of the first group, etc. Any node reaches the master or is being reached by thf master via a node in a previous group in a multi-hop approach. Th( time slots are assigned in dependence of the distance to the master. In a message period, in which the master sends a message to any node, the first group is assigned a first group of time slots, and the second group is assigned a second group of time slots, following the first group of time slots, etc. In this way, the message from the master can be sent out to all nodes in a single message period. When a node wants to send information to the master, the time slots are arranged in the opposite order, in an information period, which means that the information can reach the master in a single information period.
