Patent CA-2275385-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ACHIM ANDRE
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 1999-06-18
Abstract: The method and device separate signal from noise in repeated multi-dimensional records each containing some fixed signal additively mixed with independent instances of noise. In a first step, dimensions of the records are expressed as orthogonal sets of axes forming, for each dimension, a multidimensional space in which the records constitute data points. Then, the method performs a step of crossing respective first axes of the sets to form a filter on which the records are projected to produce corresponding projections, followed by a step of temporarily subtracting the projections from their respective records to produce temporary residuals. The signal contents in the temporary residuals is evaluated by means of a mathematical expression, and the first axis of each set is iteratively transformed by orthogonal rotations with the remaining axes of the same set so as to minimize the quantified presence of signal in the current temporary residual. The set of first axes from all the dimensions involved is accepted as one signal component when further minimization of the quantified presence of signal becomes essentially trivial, wherein minimization of the quantified presence of signal constitutes a quantitative criterion. The crossing, subtracting, evaluating, transforming and accepting procedure is repeated on the temporary residuals in order to extract further signal components as long as said residuals contain significant signal. Finally, the signal part of each record is represented in compact form by weights on all the retained signal components, and the signal part of the records is reconstituted by aplying the respective weights to the signal components and summing over components.

Title: Improved cottage cheese having porous curd
Inventor: CHEN WEN-SHERNG
IPC: A23C19/076
Filed: 1999-12-03
Abstract: The present invention is directed to cottage cheese having a more porous curd. The resulting curd is less dense than conventional cottage cheese curd. The more porous cottage cheese curd allows the cottage cheese dressing to permeate the curd. The porous cottage cheese curds formed according to the present invention allow greater absorption of the dressing, and thus significantly reduce the problem involving the curds "swimming" in the dressing often found in conventional cottage cheese products. Methods for manufacturing such cottage cheese also are provided.  More specifically, the porous cottage cheese curd is prepared by the generation or introduction of gas during the initial formation of the curd.

Title: Source-transfer switching system and method
Inventor: O'LEARY RAYMOND P
IPC: H02J3/00
Filed: 1999-12-07
Abstract: A control arrangement and method is provided for source-transfer switching systems including a high-speed control arrangement and high-speed switches to control the transfer of a load from one source to another with minimal transfer delays. The system supplies an electrical load with alternating current from either a first source or a second source via respective first and second switches. The system also includes a controller that samples the voltage waveforms of each of the first and second sources to detect when transfer between the sources is desirable, e.g. power outages, voltage levels that are either too low or too high, or reverse currents that indicate an upstream fault. The controller provides appropriate control signals to control operation of the switches and transfer supply of the load therebetween. In a preferred embodiment, after a transfer decision is made, the control arrangement initiates a transfer of the load from a first source to a second source with no intentional delay via the opening of a first switch and the closing of a second switch. In another embodiment, the control arrangement initiates a transfer by first opening the first switch and then closing the second switch after the current is interrupted through the first switch. In yet another embodiment, transfer is accomplished via an "open" transition, break before make, when severe disturbances of a first category are detected, and transfer is accomplished via a "closed" transition, which may involve make- before-break conditions, when less severe disturbances of a second category are detected.
