Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus and a method for stacking elongate items (3) with irregular side edges. In order automatically to form layers (5) in a stack, a conveyor (2) has several succeeding rows of first stops that each have their own individual actuating unit (10). Hereby, a single item may be released at a time and advanced synchronously with a displacing of a chain (17) comprising second stops (8). The items (3) are placed in interspaces (19) between these stops and are displaced along supporting forks (6) by stepwise advancing of the chain (17) until a desired layer is formed. The forks (6) are then retracted for placing the layer uppermost in the stack (7). As the items are advanced with a position in the interspaces (19), each layer (5) may be formed by items with irregular side edges. <IMAGE>

Abstract: There is provided an system for controlling the demultiplexing process in an optical backplane device (100). The system has application to optical switching in high-speed digital communication routers and switches. In demultiplexing, a selected compressed data packet (120) is extracted from a multiplexed stream of compressed packets by a modulator (102) and decompressed (104). The modulator (102) is controlled by a control signal (112). An error in the timing of the modulator control signal (112) corresponds to a characteristic distortion in the decompressed signal (116). By monitoring the effect of timing errors on decompressed signals (116), steps can be taken to correct the timing errors by controlling delays in either the optical or the electronic parts of the switching device. The timing of modulator control pulses (112) is thus continuously adjusted to minimise timing errors. Instead of monitoring just decompressed signals (116), calibration pulse trains of known value and suitable form can be inserted.

Abstract: A toner quantity measuring apparatus detects the quantity of toner adhering to an image carrier. The apparatus includes a light-emitting element, which irradiates light onto the image carrier; a reflection quantity detecting means, which detects light quantities of first and second light components, which are different from each other and are contained in light reflected from the image carrier; and a toner quantity calculating means. The toner quantity calculating means calculates a ratio between the two light quantities, and calculates the quantity of toner adhering to the image carrier based on this ratio.

Abstract: The technology is based on the anisotropic plasma etching of organic polymer sheets partially protected by a metallic mask. The originality of the process is to pattern the surface properties by the same physical means as the one used for the three dimensional fabrication and simultaneously to this fabrication. Surface properties means, but are not limited to hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, conductivity, reflectability, rugosity and more precisely the chemical and/or physical state of the surface. It is also possible to generate the desired fonctionalities, for instance carboxylic acid, ester, ether, amid or imid, during the etching process. The patterning of the different properties may be achieved by two different techniques that may be used separately or simultaneously.

Abstract: A speech encoder that analyzes and classifies each frame of speech as being periodic-like speech or non-periodic like speech where the speech encoder performs a different gain quantization process depending if the speech is periodic or not. If the speech is periodic, the improved speech encoder obtains the pitch gains from the unquantized weighted speech signal and performs a pre-vector quantization of the adaptive codebook gain GP for each subframe of the frame before subframe processing begins and a closed-loop delayed decision vector quantization of the fixed codebook gain GC. If the frame of speech is non-periodic, the speech encoder may use any known method of gain quantization. The result of quantizing gains of periodic speech in this manner results in a reduction of the number of bits required to represent the quantized gain information and for periodic speech, the ability to use the quantized pitch gain for the current subframe to search the fixed codebook for the fixed codebook excitation vector for the current subframe. Alternatively, the new gain quantization process which was used only for periodic signals may be extended to non-periodic signals as well. This second strategy results in a slightly higher bit rate than that for periodic signals that use the new gain quantization strategy, but is still lower than the prior art's bit rate. Yet another alternative is to use the new gain quantization process for all speech signals without distinguishing between periodic and non-periodic signals.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing a portion of fat from meat cuts involves placing a meat cut on a longitudinal conveyor, pressing sensor probes into the meat cut to measure the relative thickness of fat and the location of lean in the meat, and then withdrawing the sensor probes from the meat. An electronic signal is transmitted from the sensor to a controller along with an encoder signal to determine the depth from the outer lower surface of the meat cut through a layer of fat in the meat to a layer of lean in the meat. Data taken from the foregoing step determine the desired position of the blade, which removes the appropriate amount of fat to be removed from the meat cut.

Abstract: A reconfigurable processing system executes instructions and configurations in parallel. Initially, a first instruction loads configurations into configuration registers. The configuration field of a subsequently fetched instruction selects a configuration register. The instruction controls and controls of the configuration in the selected configuration register are decoded and modified as specified by the instruction. The controls provide data operands to the execution units which process the operands and generate results. Scalar data, vector data, or a combination of scalar and vector data can be processed. The processing is controlled by instructions executed in parallel with configurations invoked by configuration fields within the instructions. Vectors are processed using a vector register file which stores vectors. A vector address unit identifies addresses of vector elements in the vector register file to be processed. For each vector, vector address units provide addresses which stride through each element of each vector.
