Inventor: BONNET DIDIER CHARLES ROBERT
IPC: A23L23/10
Filed: 2000-11-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to dry mixes based on partially gelatinised starch
and which are suitable for preparing static heated or microwaveable food compositions.
The partially pregelatinised starch is applied as a new thickening system for microwave
instant powders. Using a homogeneous and uniform partially gelatinised starch can
overcome significant problems, such as powder segregation and simplifies the
preparation of the dry mix composition.

Title: Liquid droplet dispensing
Inventor: SHVETS IGOR
IPC: B05B1/30
Filed: 2000-09-04
Abstract: A dispensing assembly for liquid droplets which comprises a dispenser (60)
connected to a liquid carrying pipe which in turn is connected to a source of
pressurised liquid. The dispenser (60) has an elongate body member (41) having a
main bore (42) connected to the liquid carrying pipe. At the other end, the main
bore (42) has a valve seat (43) proud of the base (49) of the body member (41)
terminating in a dispensing tip (46). The valve seat 43 is the upper part of a nozzle
formed by a capillary tube 64. A valve boss (61) of a ferromagnetic material
covered with one or more layers of soft polymer or polymers (62) is mounted in
the main bore (42) and has a cross-sectional area considerably less than that of
the main bore (42). A separate valve boss actuating coil assembly comprising
upper and lower coils (50) and (51) is provided which coils (50, 51) are separate
from the main body (41) which can be unplugged from both the coils (50) and (51)
and from the liquid carrying pipe . It is thus a disposable body member (41). In
operation the valve boss is accelerated away from the initial position with the valve
closed, by the coils (50) and (51) typical for a time of the order of 0.2 to 0.5 ms.
The valve is then maintained open and the current in the coils is considerably
reduced. The duration of this second phase determines the volume of the droplet
dispensed. The second phase can be of duration of 0.1 to 5 ms, which will result in
a volume of droplet dispensed in the range of 100 nl to some microlitres. Then in
the third phase the valve is closed with a short pulse of a high current, typically in
the range of 0.2 to 0.4 ms. The fourth phase is maintaining the valve in the closed
position until the next droplet has to be dispensed. There is further disclosed
various electrodes to provide drop-off of any droplet on the tip (46) of the capillary
tube (64) . Deflection electrodes are also described in conjunction with various
substrates and various means for measuring the volume of droplet is also
described. A floating valve boss is not essential for the operation of the invention
and other types of valve may be used.

Inventor: BLENKIRON PETER
IPC: A61L9/03
Filed: 2000-11-07
Abstract: Disclosed are devices for dispensing volatile materials such as fragrances into the
atmosphere surrounding each such device. Release of volatile materials from a
volatilization zone in such a device is promoted by the generation of heat via the
non-combustive oxidation reaction of thermogenic materials held within a heating
zone in the device. Both the volatilization zone and the heating zone are provided
with hermetic sealing means which, prior to device activation, keep the contents of
the volatilization and heating zones separate from each other and from the
surrounding atmosphere. Such sealing means can be ruptured to expose the
thermogenic materials to air to thereby initiate heat generation and to expose the
volatilization zone to the surrounding atmosphere to thereby release the volatile
materials therefrom.

Abstract: The control accuracy is improved in the case where the
sensing operation is performed by using a camera (1) and a radar
(4) and a vehicle is controlled by using the sensing results.
A measuring and controlling apparatus for a vehicle includes an
image processing means (2) which is mounted on the vehicle,
photographs a circumferential state of the vehicle and processes
mage signal; a radar signal processing means (5) which radiates
radio wave or light to process a receiving signal; and a control
means (8) for controlling a brake or a throttle valve or a
transmission based on the output results of the image processing
means (2) and the radar signal processing means (5). In such
a measuring and controlling apparatus for a vehicle, the
respective output information of the image processing means (2)
and the radar signal processing means (5) include time
information at the time of photographing and time information
at the time of measuring and the order of the photographed time
and the measured time are adjusted. Thus, even if the processing
time differs between the cases where a subject to be photographed
is simple and complicated, since the photographed time and the
measured time can be identified, the suitable processing
according to the processing time can be executed. Thus, the
running state of the vehicle can be controlled with high accuracy.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for digitally demodulating QPSK signals includes a first portion in which the digitally sampled data burst is resampled with a plurality of predetermined timing hypotheses. The timing offset is determined according to an analysis of the resampled data. The digitally sampled data burst is then resampled according to the timing estimation. Modulation of the resampled data burst is then removed by twice squaring the complex I/Q pairs. The data with the modulation removed is then subjected to a Chirp-Z Transform to move the data into the frequency domain. The highest spectral power is used to determine the frequency offset. The phase offset is determined and the resampled data burst is derotated and dephased according to the phase offset and the frequency offset.
