Abstract: A drying apparatus for removing moisture content from a substance (E) to be dried, comprises peripheral wall means (7) defining a working space for drying the substance, the peripheral wall means defining at least an inlet (12) for charging the substance to be dried, an outlet (15) for taking the dried substance therefrom and a drain. A rotary spiral blade assembly (4) disposed within the working space has a transporting surface (45) and is rotatable at a predetermined rotation speed sufficient for forcing the substance at the bottom of the working space to climb up the surface (45) toward the upper end of the rotary spiral blade assembly. Heating means associated with at least one of the peripheral wall means (7) and the rotary spiral blade assembly (4) heat a surface interfacing with the substance while the substance travels on the transporting surface (45) toward the upward end. The rotary spiral blade assembly defines a path for substance reaching the upper end thereof to fall down to the bottom and a baffle plate (M) located in opposition to the upper end of the rotary spiral blade assembly forces the substance reaching the upper end to fall down through this path. <IMAGE>

Date Jun. 25, 1992.A circuit protection arrangement that is intended to be series connected in a line of an electrical circuit comprises a transistor switch 1 that controls the circuit current and has a control input, and a control arrangement that controls the voltage of the control input of the switch. The control arrangement comprises a comparator circuit 3 that compares a fraction of the voltage across the switch 1 with a reference voltage, for example supplied by a Zener diode or bandgap diode, and opens the switch if the fraction is greater than the reference voltage. The comparator circuit is powered by the voltage drop in the line across the switch so that the arrangement can be formed as a two-terminal device that requires no external power source. The arrangement has the advantage that it exhibits a relatively small variation in performance with respect to temperature variations.

Abstract: Moteur à réluctance et à commutation entraîné par une source polyphasée, qui comprend un stator (3) possédant une culasse (6) et une pluralité de pôles saillants régulièrement espacés (9, 10) répartis autour de la culasse (6) et un rotor (1), monté rotatif par rapport au stator (3), possédant une pluralité de pôles saillants espacés de manière irrégulière (5). La géométrie du stator (3) et du rotor (1) est telle que chacun des pôles du stator (9, 10) est séparé d'un pôle adjacent du stator (9, 10) par un angle a1 et que les pôles (5) du rotor (1) sont alternativement séparés des pôles adjacents du rotor (5) par des angles a1 et a2. Des bobinages (7) associés aux pôles du stator sont connectés afin d'être excités par une source polyphasée telle que deux phases (A, B) de la source soient produites simultanément. La production simultanée de deux phases a pour résultat la magnétisation de pôles adjacents du stator par paires avec une polarité opposée, ce qui forme un circuit magnétique (36) dont l'itinéraire ne comprend que la partie de la culasse reliant les deux pôles de stator adjacents d'une paire. Le moteur selon cette invention offre un couple considérablement augmenté par rapport à un moteur à réluctance à commutation conventionnel de la même taille, tout en ayant également une meilleure efficacité.

Abstract: Tin oxide sensors are made by mixing antimony bearing material with tin oxide powder and formation of the sensor by deposition of a slurry of the mixture onto a substrate and drying and sintering the slurry, the antimony bearing material being present in an amount sufficient to render the sensitivity of the sensor to one or more of the gases H2, CO, or CH4, relatively independent of the concentration of oxygen in the range PO2 10<-4> - 1 atm. A further type of a tin oxide gas sensor is disclosed having a resistivity that at a measuring temperature increases with concentration of at least one gas to be measured, the sensor is made by calcining the tin oxide in air at a temperature in excess of 1400  DEG C, or otherwise treating the tin oxide so that it has a state of physical aggregation consistent with being formed in such manner. At a second measuring temperature the resistivity of the sensor to said one gas decreases with increasing gas concentration. The resistivity of the sensor is dependent on the concentration of several gases, the dependence at differing measuring temperatures being such that by measuring the resistivity of the sensor at several different measuring temperatures the composition of a gas to which the sensor is exposed may be calculated. An array of such tin oxide gas sensors may be mounted on a single substrate having heater means to maintain the sensors at differing temperatures. Such an array may also include an antimony bearing sensor as disclosed or other tin oxide sensors.

Abstract: An apparatus for heating parenteral fluids for intravenous delivery to a patient. The apparatus includes a disposable cassette which in one presently preferred embodiment is made up of a unitary member which is divided to form a serpentine flow path by a plurality of path separators. Thin, flexible metallic foil membranes are sealingly joined to the unitary member on the upper and bottom surfaces thereof to form an enclosed, fluid-tight serpentine flow path between the plurality of path separators. The entire periphery of the unitary member and the thin, flexible heat conductive foil membranes are sealingly held by a framework. The disposable cassette slides between first and second heating blocks which contact the thin, flexible heat conductive foil membranes so as to provide heat transfer to fluid flowing in the serpentine flow path. The heating blocks are designed to provide a gradation of heat energy such that more heat energy is available for transfer to the parenteral fluid at the inlet end of the serpentine flow path than is available for transfer to the parenteral fluid at the outlet end of the serpentine flow path.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for treating a ready-to-eat cereal base fabricated from an oat containing cereal composition to increase the stability of the product. The methods comprise the step of subjecting the cereal base to a high intensity microwave field (>150 V/cm) for about 5 to 45 seconds. The treated cereal pieces exhibit superior stability and also improved flavor resulting from "interior" toasting of the cereal base.

Abstract: An echo cancellation device usable in telephone connections affected by phase-roll is described. The canceller calculates the echo path propagation delay and produces an estimate of the echo signal by digitally filtering the signal originated by the far-end talker. The echo estimate is then subtracted from the actual echo to eliminate listening disturbances therefrom. The filter used is of the FIR type with adaptive coefficients updated iteratively by adding algebraically, to the values which they had upon the preceding iteration, a correction term proportional to the estimate error. The frequency of the coefficient updating iterations is a multiple of the rate fc of acquisition of the voice and echo samples by the canceller. <IMAGE>
