Abstract: The present invention generally provides as improved meat patty forming apparatus (10) and method of operating the same. More particularly, the present invention provides an improved apparatus and method for forming meat patties using a mold plate (38) having multiple rows or groups of patty forming cavities (40). An existing single row forming machine is modified by moving the fill slot (36) relative to the existing stroke length so that the fill slot (36) comes in contact of fluidly communicates with at least one newly added row of cavities (40). This is most easily achieved by modifying the existing fill plate and by adding cavities to the existing mold plate, so that the combination of modified plates operates with the existing stroke length (which is difficult to change), to produce multiple rows of consistent meat patties. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Title: Accelerated graphics port (agp) controller supporting fast write transactions
Inventor: THOMAS REJI
IPC: G06F13/42
Filed: 2002-01-21
Granted: 2007-10-17
Abstract: A circuit arrangement and method implement the data path used during the processing of multiplied (e.g., 2x or 4x) Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) fast write transactions within a circuit block outside of the PCI circuit block conventionally used to handle the address phases of such transactions. Rather than implementing the data path within the PCI circuit block, a control path is defined between the PCI circuit block and the other circuit block to permit the PCI circuit block to initiate the data phase of the multiplied AGP fast write transaction in the other circuit block after the address phase of the transaction has been initiated in the PCI circuit block. A circuit arrangement and method also implement a logic circuit used to generate AGP fast write transactions with support only for single block multiplied AGP fast write transactions-and without any support for multiple block multiplied AGP fast write transactions. As a result of both modifications, design reuse is improved, as is the simplicity of an AGP implementation.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for identifying, selecting and obtaining mammalian cells that are capable of producing proteinaceous molecules comprising predetermined post-translational modifications, wherein said post-translational modifications are brought about by the mammalian cell in which the proteinaceous molecule is expressed. Preferably, said predetermined post-translational modifications comprise glycosylation. The invention further provides methods for obtaining and producing proteinaceous molecules, using mammalian cells obtainable by a method of the present invention. Preferably said proteinaceous molecules comprise erythropoietin (EPO), since the effect of (recombinant) EPO depends heavily on the glycosylation pattern of the oligosaccharides present on the protein. Mammalian cells that have been obtained on the basis of their ability to produce proteins and/or post-translational modifications that are indicative for a predetermined post-translational modification that is desired are also provided. Preferably, said mammalian cells have neural characteristics and properties such that significant amounts of recombinant proteins can be produced that harbor 'neural- or brain-type' properties

Abstract: A frequency detector includes a slicer to receive and slice a phase error against a compare threshold value. The slicer generates a symbol based on the phase error sliced against the compare threshold value. A symbol counter is provided to increment a symbol count if the symbol generated is the same as a last symbol. A logic circuit compares the symbol count with a symbol count limit if the symbol is different from the last symbol. The logic circuit increments a high counter and clears a low counter if the symbol count is less than the symbol count limit. The logic circuit increments the low counter and clears the high counter if the symbol count is greater than the symbol count limit. A combinational logic circuit is provided to generate a high frequency jitter true signal or a high frequency jitter false signal based on at least one of the symbol count, the high counter, and the low counter.

Abstract: A device which can be used on rotating visible surfaces of, for example, machines, appurtenances, vehicles, and fans, utilizes N light sources, evenly disposed on a flexible substrate, and connected by means of a driver to a microcontroller with an independent power supply. A synchronization sensor is connected to the microcontroller. The light sources may be LEDs-one- or three-colored (RGB). The synchronization sensor responds to gravity when mounted on a rotating surface, whose rotation axis is not perpendicular to the Earth's surface, or is actuated at a position relative to a given immovable point, provided the rotation axis is perpendicular to the Earth's surface. A light sensor is connected to the microcontroller, which in turn is connected to a control panel. Sensors and the control panel are disposed on the substrate. The microcontroller has a serial interface.
