Abstract: A method of providing security to a self-service
checkout terminal (10) having a bagwell (15) and a light
curtain device (24) that generates a light curtain (25)
which is positioned over the bagwell (15) includes the
steps of locating a grocery container (17) in the bagwell
(15); generating an item-entered control signal when a
product code associated with an item is entered into the
terminal; advancing the item through the light curtain
(25) and into the grocery container (17) and generating a
first detection control signal in response thereto.
Moreover, the method includes the step of generating an
invalid-use control signal when the first detection
control signal is generated prior to generation of the
item-entered control signal. A self-service checkout
terminal (10) is also disclosed.

Abstract: A drive mechanism for relatively rotatable components such as a salad spinner (10) comprising a bowl (12), a colander (14) adapted to rest within the bowl (12), a lid (20) for the bowl (12) and colander (14), and a drive mechanism associated with the lid (20) and operatively connected to the colander (14) for rotating the colander (14) relative to the bowl (12). The drive mechanism includes a handle (32) and a drive gear associated with the handle (32) rotatably attaching the turret (26) to the lid (20), a pinion gear in driving engagement with the turret (26), and a clutch interposed between the pinion gear and the turret (26). The pinion gear meshes with the drive gear whereby movement of the handle (32) in one direction engages the clutch to transmit movement to the turret (26) for spinning of the colander (14) in one direction. Movement of the handle (32) in the opposite direction disengages the clutch. The clutch comprises a clutch housing (52) and a clutch assembly (60) receivable within the clutch housing (52). The clutch assembly (60) includes a central hub (62), a plurality of drive pins (64), flexible arms (63) connecting the drive pins (64) to the central hub (62), and tensioning petals (66) attached to the central hub (62) for engagement with the turret (26). Recesses (70) defined by the clutch housing (52) receive the drive pins (64) and these recesses (70) slope inwardly toward the central hub (62). An engagement surface defined by the turret (26) is received within the clutch housing (52) and the petals (66) operate to move the pins (64) inwardly along the recesses (70) and into driving engagement with the engagement surface when the handle (32) is moved in one direction and outwardly along the recesses (70) and out of driving engagement when the handle (32) is moved in the opposite direction.

Abstract: A poultry processing machine (10) is provided which automatically vents and opens the poultry, eviscerates the poultry, displays the poultry for inspection, and either provides a normal or radical clean out procedure to the poultry. When the poultry is physically processed, it is maintained in a generally stationary position with respect to the surface (20) supporting the poultry processor to provide for uniform positioning of the poultry on the conveyor. Further, the poultry is positioned in a generally horizontal position during the venting and opening, eviscerating and cleaning procedures, to facilitate removing the unwanted materials from the poultry without increasing the risk of contamination. The eviscerating station (210) uses an eviscerating tool which includes an opening sized to receive the viscera package therethrough during the eviscerating process to prevent damage to the viscera package. The clean out station (410) automatically recognizes whether a particular poultry is to receive the normal or radical clean out procedure, thereby reducing processing time.

Abstract: A distance-measuring system (10) includes a light source (14) and modulator (18) for transmitting a modulated beam of light to a target, thereby generating a received beam. A calibration unit (40) periodically calibrates the system by positioning a calibration target (42) between the light source and the target so that the transmitted beam is interrupted, thereby generating a received calibration beam. A target sensor (30) receives the reflected target and provides a target signal (32) indicative of the reflected target beam. A reference sensor (36) receives light from the light source (14) and provides a reference signal (38) to processing circuitry (34). The processing circuitry receives the target signal (32) and the reference signal (38), adjusts the frequency of the transmitted beam until a zero phase difference exists between the target signal (32) and the reference signal (38), and calculates the distance to the target based upon frequency which produces a zero phase difference.

Abstract: Several audio signal processing techniques may be used in various combinations to improve the quality of audio represented by an information stream formed by splice editing two or more other information streams. The techniques are particularly useful in applications that bundle audio information with video information. In one technique, gain-control words conveyed with the audio information stream are used to interpolate playback sound levels across a splice. In another technique, special filterbanks or forms of TDAC transforms are used to suppress aliasing artifacts on either side of a splice. In yet another technique, special filterbanks or crossfade window functions are used to optimize the attenuation of spectral splatter created at a splice. In a further technique, audio sample rates are converted according to frame lengths and rates to allow audio information to be bundled with, for example, video information. In yet a further technique, audio blocks are dynamically aligned so that proper synchronization can be maintained across a splice. An example for 48 kHz audio with NTSC video is discussed.
