Title: A bend segment for a chain conveyor
Inventor: WALLAART JACOBUS JOHANNES
IPC: B65G21/20
Filed: 1992-04-14
Granted: 1993-12-23
Abstract: A bend segment for a chain conveyor consists of a substantially U-shaped plastics element. The legs (2,3) of the U-shaped element form the rails over which the chain can move. The chain comprises links (4) each comprising a substantially rectangular bearing surface and a connection system (5,6) located below the bearing surface. The successive links are pivotally coupled to each other through the connection systems. The links consist at least partly of a magnetizable material. Permanent magnets (8',8'') are arranged at least in the connecting portion (12) between the legs of the U-shaped element. The permanent magnets (8) are arranged in chambers, closed at the top, formed in the bottom surface (1) of the U-shaped plastics element. The chambers and the magnets (8) extend in the bottom surface on opposite sides of the connecting portion over a substantial part of the width of the legs (2,3) of the U-shaped element. <IMAGE>

Title: Recirculation valve
Inventor: PAPTZUN GEORGE J
IPC: F04D15/00
Filed: 1992-06-16
Granted: 1994-08-25
Abstract: A recirculation valve for cooling a centrifugal pump. The invention comprises a valve casing having a first chamber for connection to a centrifugal pump and a second chamber for connection to a fluid outlet, a recirculation port for redirecting fluid from the first chamber to the centrifugal pump. Between the first and second chambers is a check valve means for permitting fluid flow from the first to the second chamber. Connected to the check valve means is a hollow cylindrical valve stem permitting flow from the first chamber to the second chamber. The check valve means is comprised of a circular disc which opens when the fluid pressure in the first chamber exceeds the fluid pressure in the second chamber and closes when the fluid pressure in the second chamber approaches that in the first and intermediate chambers. A two angle control surface between the check valve disc and the valve casing controls the position of the check valve relative to the flow of fluid past the valve. A recirculation valve means caused by the hollow cylindrical tube controls the amount of fluid flowing from the first chamber to the recirculation port. When the recirculation valve means is open, flow through the recirculation port is impeded. When the valve means is closed, recirculation flow is permitted.

IPC: G09F3/00
Filed: 1997-04-09
Granted: 2000-05-04
Abstract: A process for producing multilayered microparticles for marking and later identifying substances or objects of any desired type, even animals and plants, has the following steps: several marking layers are successively applied in the liquid state onto a web-shaped or sheet-shaped substrate, each layer being dried and/or hardened before the next marking layer is applied, until a stack of layers of the desired type and in the desired order is obtained; the substrate is separated from the stack of layers; and the stack of layers is crushed into multilayered microparticles without affecting the integrity of the series of marking layers. A first disclosed process is characterized in that the individual marking layers are applied by a printing process. Alternative processes are characterized in that the individual marking layers are applied by bronzing, by spray painting or by roll coating.

Abstract: Process for improving the fillability of tobacco, such as cut tobacco leaves or ribs and tobacco additives by treating the tobacco in an autoclave with a containing nitrogen and/or argon at pressures up to 1000 bar, with subsequent decompression and a gas heat treatment. The tobacco or the treatment gas supplied to the reactor and/or the decompression step are carried out in such a way that the discharged tobacco which is thereafter supplied to a subsequent heat treatment has a temperature, at introduction to the heat treatment step, below 0 DEG  C. This is achieved by precooling the treatment gas prior to supplying it to the autoclave or cooling the treatment gas while supplying it to the autoclave and/or additionally cooling the autoclave and/or precooling the tobacco and/or injecting subcooled or liquefied treatment gas into the autoclave. The process includes multistage treatment gas whereby supply and decompression steps are carried out in a cascade-like manner.

Title: Method and apparatus for watermark detection for specific scales and arbitrary shifts
Inventor: COLLIER DAVID C
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 1999-02-17
Granted: 2002-01-31
Abstract: Methods and devices for detecting a watermark in a watermarked video stream, the watermark having been scaled by an unknown scale among a predetermined finite number of scales and shifted by an unknown number of pixels. For each of the predetermined number of scales, the video stream is divided into a plurality of equally sized scaled watermark blocks; and the plurality of scaled watermark blocks are read into a plurality of read blocks. Each of the read blocks are accumulated into one of a predetermined number of read block bins. The accumulated read blocks are then re-scaled and combined into a single video accumulated block. A predetermined quantity, such as the power of a DCT, is then evaluated within the video accumulated block. This evaluation yields information relative to presence of the watermark in the video stream, the scale applied to the watermarked video and the shift of the watermark, if any, within the watermark blocks. A fractional remainder operation is used to determine the number of read block bins for each scale under consideration as well as to determine the bin into which each read block is to be accumulated.

IPC: A01B79/02
Filed: 1990-01-26
Granted: 1993-11-25
Abstract: A method and apparatus for treating turf to reduce the general soil density in which turfgrasses grow and thus promote turf growth and turf drainage which includes injecting through the turf into the soil a pattern of jets of generally incompressible liquid at a jet pressure and jet spacing to provide a lateral dispersion of the liquid within the soil such that the liquid dispersion from adjacent jets coact with one another to lift and fracture the soil. A plurality of small diameter nozzles are mounted on a movable frame generally transverse to the direction of travel of the frame. A pressurized fluid source is mounted on the frame and connected through a control device to the nozzles. The control device control the flow of liquid from the pressure source to the nozzles to produce periodic, relatively small cross-sectional, slugs, or jets, of liquid from the nozzles through the turf into the soil. The pressure on each slug of liquid is such that the liquid penetrates through the turf into the soil and also disperses generally laterally within the soil. The spacing of the nozzles and the speed of travel of the frame are such the lateral dispersion of each slug of liquid coacts with adjacent slugs to lift and fracture the soil, thereby reducing the compaction, or general density, of the soil and promoting turf growth and drainage.
