Abstract: A bakery product comprises filling sandwiched between two e.g. biscuits, cookies, waffles or other baked wares (hereafter biscuits), in which the filling (3) is a stable, prefabricated layer. Preferred features: The filling (3) is bonded to the biscuits (1, 2). It is a flat chocolate or fat-containing mass. It is caramel, cheese, jelly, and/or marmalade. Its side surfaces (4) are plane and visible. They slant downwardly inwards at 4 degrees to the vertical. Additional bonding materials (5, 6) are introduced, which may be identical to the filling. They occupy recesses made in the upper and lower surfaces of the filling. Recesses are formed by edge regions of the filling. No additional materials are used for bonding, instead, parts of the filling itself are used. These may be edge- or raised parts of the filling. Filling side surfaces are flush with those of the biscuits or are set back to the side or edge regions. Weights of filling and biscuit are about the same.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for inputting a hand-generated character into a computer. A user draws a character using a drawing apparatus. As the user draws, movement of the apparatus and characteristics of such movement are detected. The apparatus generates a code for the character being drawn as a time dependent sequence of signals by comparing the characteristics of the movement as the character is drawn with a predetermined set of characteristics, with each signal corresponding to the predetermined characteristic closest to the actual characteristic detected at each successive step of movement. The apparatus provides visual feedback to the user by displaying in sequence each component of a character that is being drawn positionally independently of the movement of the drawing apparatus.

Abstract: This invention is a driver assembly (10) including a handle configured to receive a detachable cannula (11), a trigger arm connected to the handle, and an advancement mechanism mechanically coupled to the trigger arm. The advancement mechanism is constructed to receive and incrementally translate the surgical device (14) through the cannula (11) into body tissue to be repaired in response to a force applied to the trigger arm. The driver assembly of the present invention is useful whenever it is desired to incrementally advance a surgical device such as a long needle (14) or obturator (102) into tissue. The incremental advancement feature of the driver assembly enables an operator to control the precise placement of the surgical device. The driver assembly is particularly useful in applications where advancing the needle or obturator is difficult due to space restriction, or when an easily operable surgical device is required.

Abstract: A switched-mode power supply comprises a transformer (T) with a primary winding (Lp), a secondary winding (Ls), and an auxiliary winding (La). A series arrangement of the primary winding (Lp) and a controllable switching element (S1) receives an input voltage (Vi). A drive circuit (1) supplies a drive signal to a control input of the controllable switching element (S1) for periodically switching the controllable switching element (S1) on and off. The secondary winding (Ls) supplies a DC output voltage (Vout) to a load (Z) via a rectifier element (D). The DC output voltage (Vout) is stabilized by averaging (21), during a certain period of time, information (Im;Id) related to feedback information (Va;Icon) supplied by the auxiliary winding (La). The certain period of time is obtained by detecting when the feedback information (Va; Icon) is larger than a certain reference value (Vref;Iref2) which is selected in such a way that a substantial part of both the leading and trailing edges of the feedback information (Va;Icon) do not occur within the certain period of time.

Abstract: A system and method for the selection and retrieval of various types of video data from distributed delivery sites calls for the deployment of "Smart Mirror" sites throughout a network, each of which maintains a copy of certain data managed by the system. Each "Smart Mirror" site maintains copies of the data in several alternative file formats. Every user is assigned to a specific delivery site based on an analysis of network performance with respect to each of the available delivery sites. Generalized network performance data is collected and stored to facilitate the selection of additional delivery sites and to ensure the preservation of improved performance in comparison to traditional networks. The appropriate file format is automatically selected based on the capabilities of a user terminal making a request for data.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for providing an ion transmission device or interface between an ion source and a spectrometer. The ion transmission device can include a multipole rod set and includes a damping gas, to damp spatial and energy spreads of ions generated by a pulsed ion source. The multipole rod set has the effect of guiding the ions along an ion path, so that they can be directed into the inlet of a mass spectrometer. The invention has particular application to MALDI (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization) ion sources, which produce a small supersonic jet of matrix molecules and ions, which is substantially non-directional, and can have ions travelling in all available directions from the source and having a wide range of energy spreads. The ion transmission device can have a number of effects, including: substantially spreading out the generated ions along an ion axis to generate a quasi-continuous beam; reducing the energy spread of ions emitted from the source; and at least partially suppressing unwanted fragmentation of analyte ions. Consequently, a number of pulses of ions can be delivered to the time-of-flight or other spectrometer, for each cycle of the ion generation.
