Abstract: This  invention  proposes  a  plant  and  related  method  for  the production of ice creams with stick, where the stick is inserted into the product when this  is extruded and where devices are provided that are able to move the product grasping only the stick, without the product itself getting in touch with any part of the plant.            According to the invention also a method is provided where: the product is cooled to a temperature that lets it reach a density sufficient to allow it to be supported by means of a stick; the product is extruded; the stick is inserted into the product coming out from the extrusion press and at the same time the product is cut;  the product is inserted, keeping it by the stick into a conveyor device that moves it within a cooling tunnel until it reaches the final temperature and at the coming out from this latter, the product is completed with coverings, if required, and then it is sent to the packaging.

Granted: 2003-11-18
Abstract: A method for verifying that the expected components of a postage metering system includes alternate embodiments for verifying a PSD coupled to a host system is the expected PSD. The method further includes verifying the host system as the expected host system. A first message is encrypted in the PSD using a first cryptographic key to obtain a first encrypted message. The first encrypted message is sent to the host system which decrypts the first encrypted message using a second cryptographic key. The host system then encrypts a second message derived from the decrypted first encrypted message using the second cryptographic key. The host system then sends the encrypted second message to the PSD which decrypts the second encrypted message in the PSD using the first cryptographic key. The PSD compares the decrypted second encrypted message with the first message, and activates the PSD for processing transactions requested by the host system when the decrypted second encrypted message corresponds to the first message.

Abstract: A crop harvesting header includes a wide cutter for severing crop across a relatively large cutting width, and framework defining a discharge opening spaced rearwardly from the cutter.  The discharge opening has a width that is less than the cutting width that such crop severed laterally outboard of the discharge opening by the cutter must be conveyed inwardly before passing through the opening. At least one laterally extending, rotatable auger is located between the cutter and discharge opening for converging severed crop centrally from the areas located laterally outboard of the discharge opening and to project the crop through the opening when rotated. The header includes an auger support for rotatably supporting the auger between its opposite ends on the header framework so that the auger is capable of spanning the long distance corresponding to the large cutting width defined by the sickle bar.

Abstract: According to MPEG-4's TTS architecture, facial animation can be driven by two streams simultaneously - text, and Facial Animation Parameters. In this architecture, text input is sent to a Text-To-Speech converter at a decoder that drives the mouth shapes of the face. Facial Animation Parameters are sent from an encoder to the face over the communication channel. The present invention includes codes(known as bookmarks) in the text string transmitted to the Text-to-Speech converter, which bookmarks are placed between words as well as inside them. According to the present invention, the bookmarks carry an encoder time stamp. Due to the nature of text-to-speech conversion, the encoder time stamp does not relate to real-world time, and should be interpreted as a counter. In addition, the Facial Animation Parameter stream carries the same encoder time stamp found in the bookmark of the text. The system of the present invention reads the bookmark and provides the encoder time stamp as well as a real-time time stamp to the facial animation system. Finally, the facial animation system associates the correct facial animation parameter with the real-time time stamp using the encoder time stamp of the bookmark as a reference.

Abstract: In the purification of air to remove water and carbon dioxide and other contaminants prior to cryogenic separation of oxygen and nitrogen, water and carbon dioxide are adsorbed on a solid adsorbent and are periodically desorbed to regenerate the adsorbent by the passing of a heated regenerating gas such that the quantity of heat added to the regenerating gas to produce desorption is no more than 90 percent of the heat of adsorption liberated during the adsorption of the water and carbon dioxide. The process is applicable to removing other contaminants from other gas streams also.

Abstract: There is provided a jack for raising a wheel of a vehicle and comprising a horizontal base having spaced-apart front end and entry end, and spaced-apart side members extending between the front end and the entry end. A scissors-like lifting mechanism is connected to the horizontal base and has an upper end movable between a raised position at a distance above the horizontal base and a collapsed position near the horizontal base. A  force-applying actuator is connected to the horizontal base and to the scissors-like lifting mechanism for actuating the scissors-like lifting mechanism.      A wheel tray is connected to the upper end of the scissors-like lifting mechanism for up and down movement thereof between the raised position and the collapsed position. The wheel tray has spaced-apart front portion and entry portion, a bottom surface and a bumper on the front portion. A crossbar is mounted in the scissors-like lifting mechanism for engaging with the wheel tray and for causing the entry portion of the wheel tray to lean down relative to the front portion when the upper end of the scissors-like lifting mechanism is in the collapsed position. The connections of the scissors-like lifting mechanism with the front portion of the wheel tray are differing in height and engagement sequence with the connections to the entry portion for causing the front portion of the wheel tray to lean down relative to the entry portion when the upper end of the scissors-like lifting mechanism is in the raised position.

Abstract: A multi-speed transmission has a main transmission section and a splitter section. The electronic control for this transmission is operable to either provide the actuation of the splitter system or not allow that actuation. Thus, the operator of the vehicle is able to request either a smaller cumber of available speed ratios or a larger number of available speed ratios by selecting the appropriate electronic control. The vehicle manufacturer is able to tailor the vehicles to have a transmission which is appropriate to the needs of its customer without having to change the transmission. Moreover, upon resale, a transmission that was initially provided with only a smaller number of speeds may be easily upgraded to provide additional speeds. In a second embodiment of this invention, the control is reprogrammable to either provide or not provide actuation of the splitter gear. The control may be actuated remotely, such as by a satellite, to provide the additional speed ratios based upon expected driving conditions.
