Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for forming confectionery products into desired shapes. In an embodiment; the ingredients of a confectionery product, such as a bubble gum, are blended together. The ingredients are mixed, cooled and then formed into traditional center pieces.  Next, the center pieces are fed into an underwater pelletizer (16). The underwater pelletizer cuts the extruded confectionery pieces into miniature products. A recirculating supply of water immediately sweeps away the miniature products from the pelletizer, cools the products and transport the products to a centrifugal dryer (36). The centrifugal dryer separates the miniature products from the circulating water. The separated miniature products are immediately dusted with an anti-agglomerating compound. Finally, the product is coated or otherwise packaged for consumption.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système informatisé de loterie ou de paris comprenant un générateur de jeux et une pluralité de stations de vente permettant à des joueurs de choisir des paramètres de jeu. Le jeu est décrit graphiquement par une animation, sous la forme d'au moins une course (de chevaux, de chiens, de voitures, de motos, etc.). Le jeu peut donner lieu à des paris gagnants, des paris placés, des paris classés, des paris quiniela, des paris exacta/perfecta, des tiercés ou des paris en série. A un moment prédéterminé de chaque jeu, le choix des paramètres pour le jeu en question se termine et une séquence gagnante de nombres est créée de manière aléatoire. Le générateur de jeux choisit de manière homogène une pluralité de segments vidéo et les compose en une séquence vidéo animée de la/des course(s) correspondant à la séquence gagnante de nombres, cette séquence étant ensuite diffusée par transmission RF, par transmission par micro-ondes, par câblage à fibres optiques ou par des lignes de télévision en circuit fermé. Les segments vidéo sont rendus directement en format numérique comprimé pour maintenir l'image vidéo au plus haut niveau de qualité possible. Le système détermine les joueurs qualifiés pour participer au grand prix, puis, après la diffusion du jeu, le système annonce le vainqueur de ce grand prix. Les jeux sont créés et diffusés périodiquement, par exemple un par minute, un par jour, un par semaine, etc.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determination by optimisation of an ophthalmic lens, taking into account not only the prescription of the wearer for far sight: strength, amplitude and axis of the astigmatism, but also the prescription of the wearer for near sight. Said near sight prescription is measured with binocular vision. The lens is thus defined by optimisation, using the prescription for strength and astigmatism for far sight and near sight as target. According to the invention, variations in astigmatism arising from viewing conditions can be accounted for, objects being generally further away for far sight than for near sight. Account can also be taken of variations in astigmatism caused by physiological deformations of the eye in the rotation thereof on passing from a primary viewing direction to a viewing direction adapted to near sight.

Abstract: The present invention provides in one aspect a braking mechanism for slowing the release of torsional potential energy in a rod string of a wellhead drive system on the shutdown or power failure thereof. The braking mechanism, without using a slip clutch, slows the backspin of the rod string by using the rotational energy of the rod string to turn a fluid pump to pump fluid through a constriction orifice in a closed fluid circuit. The present invention reduces the space required for the braking mechanism and moreover reduces the number of moving parts within the braking mechanism which may reduce the likelihood that the braking mechanism will require maintenance or fail, as well as reduce the manufacturing cost. In another aspect, the present invention provides a wellhead drive system for driving a rotary downhole pump which includes the inventive braking mechanism described above.
