Title: In-station television program encoding and monitoring system and method
Inventor: KEENE LEONARD D
IPC: H04N5/92
Filed: 1992-11-20
Granted: 2003-07-22
Abstract: An in-station method and apparatus for encoding television programs, including commercials, with a digital identification code recorded on a selected video scan line which is not normally visible to the television viewer, and far verifying the proper air-ing of such programs by such television broadcast station. The encoding and decoding is performed at the broadcast station dur-ing its normal operating procedure. The program is encoded (23) during the normal dubbing procedure (17, 19, 21) when a pro-gram video tape is dubbed to a video cartridge for use by the broadcast station's library management system (15). The decoder (31, 33) is located either at the station at an off-air monitor, or at the transmitter (29), where it monitors the transmitted signal from the broadcast station and records the occurrence of encoded programs or commercials. The information generated is stored locally for later transmission to a host computer where the information can be combined with information from other broadcast stations and other databases.

Abstract: A milking system (10) uses a variable pressure source (82) and varies the pressure supplied to the pulsation chamber (32) along a controllably variable pressure curve of selectable waveshape.  Pulsation cycles are shortened by shortening the transition time between pressure levels providing on and off portions of the pulsation cycle. The pulsation chamber (32) is sequenced through different pressure change rates, all during the transition. Pressure transition times during pulsation cycles are varied at the beginning, middle and end of a milking interval to provide a faster rate of liner opening movement at the beginning of the milking interval to provide deeper teat penetration into the liner, and intermediate rate of liner opening movement during the middle of the milking interval, and a slower rate of liner opening movement at the end of the milking interval to limit loss of adhesion between a less than full teat and the interior of the liner.

Abstract: Apparatus for monitoring a characteristic diameter of a flowing particulate material, comprises a chamber (31) having a particle size measurement outlet (33) of known dimensions through which the flowing material passes, means to deter-mine the flow rate of the material, and means to determine the characteristic di-ameter of the material by reference to the dimensions of the particle size measure-ment outlet, the bulk density; and the flow rate of the material. The bulk density may be known or measured. The flow rate of material may be measured in a sec-ond chamber (34) having another outlet (37) through which the material flow also passes: The flow rate measurement outlet may be in the form of a slot (37).  Flow rate is determined by reference to the height (h2) of material flow through the slot. Bulk density may be determined by maintaining a constant volume of ma-terial in the chamber with the particle size measurement outlet, and by refer-ence to changes in the weight (31b) of the contents of this chamber.

Granted: 2000-05-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a granulating device for strand materials with a drawing-in device for gripping the strand material and transporting it to a stationary knife of a knife roll, cooperating with the stationary knife, for cutting up the strand material into a granulate product. The device has lower and upper drawing-in rolls, forming the drawing-in device, at least one of which is driveable. The rolls are held in two opposite side walls of a housing, incorporating a hinged front flap on its front side, enclosing the granulating device. The two side walls each comprise an oblong hole open towards the front flap for guiding bearings of the lower drawing-in roll. The end of the oblong holes form a stop that defines the operating position of the lower drawing-in roll. The front flap, when in its closed operating position, presses the bearings of the lower drawing-in roll against the stop through the intermediary of a supporting part. This arrangement improves the accessibility of the interior space of the housing for cleaning, maintenance and repairs.

Abstract: A self-plugging blind rivet (10) comprises a tubular rivet shell (11) and a stem (15) disposed in the bore (14) of the shell (11). The shell (11) comprises a generally cylindrical shank (12) with a preformed head (13) at one end. The stem (15) projects from the head end of the shell (11), and has a head (19) which abuts the tail end face (21). The shank (12) has two axially spaced zones (25, 29) of reduced diameters formed by rolling or crimping, and an intermediate zone (26, 27, 28) between them. The projecting stem is pulled to compress and deform the shank (12) to form a blind head.      In order to avoid cracking of the blind head and to improve the grip range of the rivet, the intermediate zone has two transition zones (26, 28) forming an angle of 2° to 20° with the axis of the shank (12) in which the diameter of the shank increases progressively from that of the zones (25, 29) to a maximum in the intermediate zone (26, 27, 28).

IPC: E21B23/00
Filed: 1996-01-17
Granted: 2008-04-01
Abstract: A shifting tool is provided which is preferably hydraulically actuated. A built-up hydraulic force overcomes a retaining piston, which, in turn, frees up a pivoting linkage whose movements are opposed by a coil spring. The coil spring urges the pivoting linkage outwardly where contact can be made with the internal groove on a shifting sleeve. The shifting tool can be run in with the linkage in the expanded position since the parts are configured to allow the linkage to retract to clear any internal obstructions before reaching the shifting grooves in the shifting sleeve. The pivoting action of the grip on the groove in the shifting sleeve increases the gripping force when jarring occurs. The parts are configured so that there is a minimum of movement of shifting parts which have seals to further reduce potential wear on pressure seals. A compact design is provided which can be useful on sleeves with a range of internal bores. The coil springs used in the preferred embodiment, which act against the linkage, can be easily replaced to adjust the force of engagement with the internal groove on the shifting sleeve.

Abstract: A signal processing system includes a system control processor (130), an integrated circuit (IC) card (180), or smart card, for access control processing, system memory (110), and a smart card interface circuit (140) including a direct memory access interface circuit (100) for providing high speed access to the system memory (110). Data transfers between the smart card (180) and system memory (110) occur via the smart card interface circuit (140) and the direct memory access interface circuit (160). The system controller (130) initializes the smart card interface circuit (140) prior to a transfer and, after a transfer is complete, processes transferred data that is stored in system memory (110). Processing by the system controller (160) is not required during the transfer to complete the transfer. The smart card interface circuit (140) also filters the transferred data stream by checking and generating parity bits as required and removing smart card related control data from the data that is stored in memory.

Title: Subcritical process for drying sol-gel derived porous bodies
Inventor: KIRKBIR FIKRET
IPC: F26B3/04
Filed: 1995-08-17
Granted: 2006-10-31
Abstract: A process is disclosed for drying sol-gel derived porous wet bodies without inducing cracks therein. The wet gel preferably is immersed in a liquid solvent before being placed inside a drying chamber capable of withstanding relatively high pressures and temperatures. After the wet gel is loaded, the chamber is sealed from the outside environment, a nd then is heated from outside the chamber in a controlled manner until a prescribed subcritical pressure is reached. The final temperature and pressure are always lower than the critical temperature and pressure of the drying solvent. The solvent vapor is then evacuated from the chamber in a controlled fashion to decrease the pressure until ambient pressure is reached, while preferably maintaining the temperature inside the chamber at the prescribed level. Thereafter, the inside of the chamber is purged with an inert gas for a prescribed time period, after which the chamber is cooled to ambient temperature and the dry crack-free porous gel is removed. The resulting dry gels are cra ck- free and monolithic.
