Abstract: A cereal separation apparatus includes a frame, size grading mechanism (4) mounted at an upper portion of the frame for grading particles according to a size of the particles, oscillation-type specific gravity grading mechanism (6) mounted at a lower portion of the frame, air flow-producing mechanism (26,27) for producing an air flow for effecting the specific gravity grading; and a feed passage for feeding the particles, selected by the size grading mechanism, from the size grading mechanism to the specific gravity grading mechanism. The size grading mechanism comprises a perforated, hollow cylinder (4) for grading the particles according to the particle size, and the cylinder is supported on the frame for rotation about an axis of the cylinder. The specific gravity grading mechanism (6) is supported on the frame through oscillation support portions. The apparatus further comprises rotation drive mechanism for rotating the rotary grading, hollow cylinder, and oscillation drive mechanism for oscillating the specific gravity grading mechanism. The apparatus is enhanced in durability, and is capable of effecting the good grading of raw material grains regardless of the nature and conditions of the raw material grains.

Abstract: An athletic shoe having a spring cushioned midsole
assembly which is advantageous from a combined stability
and impact absorption/energy dissipation standpoint. A
preferred form of the invention includes a spring foam
midsole unit having plural spaced projections in forefoot
and heel regions, with an additional spring foam heel unit
having projections facing the projections of the heel
portion of the midsole unit. In addition, the central
region of the midsole unit is substantially flat to provide
sufficient support and stability, while also providing
advantageous impact/force absorption and energy dissipation
in the front and heel regions of the shoe. By providing
spaced projections, in combination with a modulator or base
portion having a substantial thickness, the projections can
act independently with respect to one another and can
interact with the modulator portion to provide an
advantageous stable cushioning effect. In an optional
aspect of the invention, a mock window is disposed in the
exterior of the shoe, and includes a mock representation of
the cushioned midsole assembly.

Abstract: According to the improved apparatus for recording images using exposing optics equipped with a dust excluding mechanism which prevents optical paths of light beams from being blocked by dust particles, the dust excluding mechanism has a fan and at least two filters, and at least one of the filters which is provided upstream an air stream generated by the fan is fitted to be detachable. With the improved image recording apparatus of the invention, not only during scanning exposure, in a standby mode and in a power OFF mode but also during filter replacements, one can prevent the entrance of the dust particles into the duct, thereby ensuring that the light beams issuing from the exposing optics during scanning exposure will not have any part of their paths blocked by the dust particles. As a result, one can record defect-free images of high quality that do not have any density unevenness occurring in the form of streaks due to the dust particles.

bonding process applied to mirror imaged chips. The method
includes and resulting apparatus results from the steps of
forming a first chip (10) comprising a first set of pads (12)
according to a predetermined set of masks (20). Generating a
set of mirror-imaged masks (24) comprising a mirror image of
the predetermined set of masks (20) is a next step of the
present method. Then, the invention includes forming a second
chip (30) comprising a second set of pads (32) according to
the set of mirror-imaged masks (24). Connecting the first chip
(10) and the second chip (30) to a single package lead frame
(40) can then occur such that the first chip (10) and the
second chip (30) face opposite sides of the single package
lead frame (40) for functionally equivalent ones of the first
set of pins (12) and the second set of pins (32) to share a
common lead of said single package lead frame (40). Control
circuitry (60) selectively controls whether single packaged
semiconductor memory device (50) provides single capacity or
double capacity operation.

Abstract: The conveyor system for clinical test apparatus includes a main
transport conveyor and a plurality of auxiliary conveyors located
alongside the main transport conveyor. The auxiliary conveyors define
straight line paths of travel parallel to the straight line paths of travel of
the main conveyor. Each of the auxiliary conveyors is operated by
drive means separate from the main transport conveyor. Two
crossover points are provided between the main transport conveyor and
the auxiliary conveyor. One crossover point is an entrance from the
main transport conveyor to the auxiliary conveyor and the other
crossover point is an exit from the auxiliary conveyor to the main
transport conveyor. Each crossover point is controlled by a gate. One
of the gates is a divert gate which can be actuated to block the main
transport path thereby diverting puck traffic onto the auxiliary
conveyor. The other gate is an interface gate which is used primarily
to read information on a sample tube before it is introduced into a test
apparatus and also functions as a load and unload station for the
clinical test apparatus. The conveyor system also has a main unload
and load system wherein tubes that have been completely tested are
removed from pucks and reloaded with new tubes that are to be tested.

Abstract: A method for processing telecommunications signals to alleviate echo during a voice
communication between a local talker and a remote talker comprises the application of
circular buffers for near and far end signals to preserve processing time. Overlapping
blocks of samples are processed and indexed by incrementing the index over time to
generate an array for storing magnitude coherence versus time delay between outgoing and
incoming samples. Echo is clipped based on power spectral matching. The clipped echo is
replaced with noise fill of at least one of two types, white noise and tonal noise, at an
appropriate level. Also, crackle which comprises high energy spikes and a residual echo
effect which is low energy, bursty and non-linear may be identified and replaced with noise
fill.

Abstract: An improved printing system is provided that
compresses bitmap print data by determining, per each
slice of a swath of the printed page, which one of two
different data compression techniques more efficiently
compresses each individual slice, then temporarily
stores this compressed data in a memory circuit until
needed by the printhead for actual printing of the final
output in the form of print media. The two data
compression techniques used are called a "USE-X MODE"
and a "REPEAT MODE." The invention utilizes a single
control bit of a control word to represent each of the
data words of the slice. In the "USE-X" mode, the
control bit for any data word which is equal to 0000 16 
will be set to Logic 1, and that word can be eliminated
from the information stored as compressed data. In the
"REPEAT" mode, the control bit value for each data word
of a slice will be set to Logic 1 if this data word's
hexadecimal value is equal to the previous data word's
hexadecimal value.
