Abstract: Hockey pucks visually modified for training purposes and methods of using same are provided. The pucks are intended to develop the visual acuity and hand-eye coordination of hockey players to improve game play. In one embodiment, each training puck is partially or entirely white (or some other light color) on its upper and lower flat surfaces, or on its circumferential side surface, or both. In use, players may begin by using a training puck with a relatively large dark portion. After they become accustomed to such a training puck, a puck with a smaller diameter dark portion could be substituted. This process would continue until pucks with very small dark portions were used. The training pucks can be sold or used separately or as part of a training kit comprising multiple pucks of varying appearance. Pucks adapted for training both skaters and goaltenders are described.

Abstract: An envelope tracking amplification system (200) that includes an envelope tracking power supply (ETPS) (208) amplifies a radio frequency (RF) signal (201) to produce a linearized amplified signal (213). The envelope tracking amplification system samples the RF signal to produce a sampled RF signal (205). The ETPS (208) produces a control signal based on an instantaneous magnitude of the sampled RF signal and further based on an average magnitude of the sampled RF signal, produces multiple supply voltages, and, based on the control signal, couples a supply voltage of the multiple supply voltages to an output of the EPTS to produce an output supply voltage (211). The envelope tracking amplification system then amplifies the RF signal based on the output supply voltage to produce the highly linear amplified signal (213).

Abstract: A method and system are provided for allowing users to register XML schemas in a database system. The database system determines, based on a registered XML  schema, how to store within the database system XML documents that conform to the XML schema. This determination involves mapping constructs defined in the XML schema to constructs supported by the database system. Such constructs may include datatypes, hierarchical relationship between elements, constraints, inheritances, etc. Once the mapping has been determined, it is stored and used by the database system to determine how to store subsequently received XML  documents that conform to the registered XML schema.

Title: Method for continuous casting
Inventor: ETZELSDORFER KURT
IPC: B22D11/06
Filed: 2002-11-28
Granted: 2010-06-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the continuous casting of a thin metal strip (1) in a two-cylinder method. According to the method, metal melt (7) is introduced into a casting gap (3) formed by two casting cylinders (2) corresponding to the thickness of the metal strip (1) which is to be cast, forming a melting bath (6). In order to form a determined structure in the cast metal strip and/or influence the geometry of the metal strip, the continuous casting is carried out by an on-line calculation based on the calculating model describing the formation of the specific structure of the metal and/or the formation of the geometry of the metal strip. The structural formation or the variable of the strip continuous casting method influencing the geometry are adjusted dynamically on-line, i.e. during the casting process.

Title: Method for reducing acrylamide formation in thermally processed foods
Inventor: BARRY DAVID LAWRENCE
IPC: A23L19/12
Filed: 2004-02-06
Granted: 2011-06-21
Abstract: A process and apparatus for a method for reducing the amount of acrylamide in thermally processed foods. This invention permits the production of foods having significantly reduced levels of acrylamide. The method relies on the manipulation of various unit operations used in the production of food products, particularly the washing and cooking, unit operations. For example, the washing unit operation can be modified to provide a contacting step at an increased time and temperature, and adding components as calcium chloride and L-cysteine to an aqueous solution used for the contacting. The cooking unit operation can be modified by dividing it into at least a higher-temperature first heating step and a lower-temperature second heating step in order to avoid the high-temperature / low~moisture conditions most favorable for acrylamide formation.
