Abstract: A novel advanced set top terminal capable of digital decompression, menu generation, interactivity and other advanced functional capabilities for use in a television program delivery system (200) is described. The invention relates to methods and apparatus for upgrading existing set top terminals (220) to provide menu generation capability and advanced functional capabilities. The invention is particularly useful in television program delivery systems (200) with hundreds of channels of programming, providing (i) menu driven program selection through the addition of an upgrade module (300) or menu generation card and (ii) advanced functional capabilities using a set of hardware upgrades (e.g., 130) and/or an expansion card. Specifically, the invention is an upgradeable system that supports advanced set top functionality through the use of internal software, hardware upgrades, an upgrade module and/or expansion cards. The upgraded hardware generally includes a microprocessor, various input/output ports (e.g., 308), processing circuitry (e.g., 108) and memory (e.g., 116). The invention results in an upgraded set top terminal that supports: menu generation; picture-on-picture displays; program catalogue services; interactive services; telephone caller identification; digital audio reception; VCR control; HDTV reception; and backyard satellite system interoperability, among other features and capabilities.

Abstract: A linear actuator, adapted especially for picking up and transporting workpieces, comprises a pneumatic, rodless cylinder (3) having a pair of driven elements (8, 16) mounted on opposite sides of its body. The first driven element (8) is directly connected to the piston (6) of the cylinder (3) via a sealed, longitudinal slot (5) formed in the cylinder body (1, 2) and the second driven element (16) is drivably connected to the piston (6) or first driven element (8) by a flexible drive band (24) that passes around rollers (20) mounted at opposite ends of the cylinder body (1, 2). The driven elements (8, 16) therefore move linearly in opposite directions to one other upon actuation of the rodless cylinder (3). The second driven element (16) may be fixedly secured to a stationary structure so that, upon actuation of the cylinder (3), the cylinder body (1, 2) itself and the first element (8) will simultaneously execute linear motion in the same direction whereby the first element (8), which may have a work piece gripping device mounted on it, will in effect execute double its normal stroke length. <IMAGE>

Date Sep. 15, 1994A roller machine for compacting is provided with control devices for varying the oscillation movement of the body. The movement of the body may be affected by a weight attached thereto. The oscillation of the vibration body is measured. From this measurement, the portion of the oscillation is determined having a frequency corresponding to half the excitation frequency and the portion for other oscillation, in particular the excitation frequency, are also determined. The excitation of the vibrating body is controlled so that the harmonic component having half the excitation frequency will be in a predetermined proportion of the component of the oscillation component. Such control avoids undesired oscillation movement.

Abstract: A process for transforming and removing latent sediment-forming components from citrus oils to supplement a dewaxing process for the citrus oils. Psoralen epoxides in citrus oils are converted to diols in an accelerated and controlled manner. The epoxide-to-diol transformation is effected by mixing citrus oil with an aqueous acidic treatment solution under conditions (i.e., solution pH and volume) and for a sufficient period of time to convert substantially all of the psoralen epoxides. The diols formed thereby are precipitated and/or preferentially dissolved in the aqueous phase during mixing. Upon separation of the aqueous phase from the oil, the citrus oil is substantially free of psoralen epoxides. By this method, epoxides are inexpensively eliminated from the citrus oils, resulting in an improved product having, for example, reduced sedimentation potential and reduced phototoxicity.

Abstract: In an apparatus and method for teaching motor skills to a human subject, learning by a student is based upon imitation of a teacher's motion. The teacher's motion is sensed by a motion sensing device, is digitized by a computer, and is then recorded in non-volatile computer memory. The computer generates an image sequence of the teacher on the computer display for the student to view and imitate. The same motion sensing device used to record the teacher's movement records the student's movement and the computer creates an image sequence on the display corresponding to the student's movement, simultaneously providing an image sequence of the teacher's movement. The training of the student is based upon displaying the pre-stored teacher's motion on the screen. The student's task is to imitate the teacher's movement. This process is repeated until the teacher's and student's trajectories match well in space and time.
