Abstract: A hemming machine has a single bending block (48) having a surface (48a) for carrying out a preliminary bending process and another surface (48b) for carrying out a final bending process, a lower block (14) for receiving an outer panel (16) with a flange (16b) and a mechanism for moving the bending block (48). The mechanism moves the bending block (48) in an arcuate way around a specified axis such that a force with a relatively large horizontal component is applied to the flange (16b) of the outer panel (16) when the preliminary bending surface (48a) of the bending block (48) bends the flange (16b) in the preliminary bending process, and then in another arcuate way around another axis such that a force with a relative large perpendicular component is applied to the flange (16b) of the outer panel (16) when the final bending surface (48b) of the bending block (48) bends the flange (16b) in the final bending process. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A technique is used in a spread spectrum communication system (100) such as cdma2000 or UMTS to assign a subscriber unit (120) a link for a supplemental channel, during a handoff period. The technique includes queuing a data packet for transmission to the subscriber unit at a packet transmission time (221) determined by a queue delay (220), obtaining pilot signal strength measurements of at least two active downlinks (125) of the subscriber unit that are measured substantially at the packet transmission time, and determining a strongest one of the at least two active downlinks from the pilot signal strength measurements. The pilot signal strength measurements are obtained by determining a pilot signal measurement time (PSMT) for the subscriber unit, calculating a pilot signal measurement delay (PSMD) from the PSMT and the queue delay, and transmitting a pilot signal measurement request (PSMRQ) to the subscriber unit after the PSMD.

Abstract: A method of sorting sorting objects within a bulk of objects from a heterogeneous population is provided. The bulk of objects to be sorted has an inherent variation, and at least one class, having less variation than the originally inherent variation of the bulk, is separated from the bulk. This lesser variation represents a quality of composition with reference to any organic material of the objects within the bulk. The method comprises the steps of distributing each of the objects to be separated as a separate object in a sorting device; exposing the separate object to energy emitted from at least one energy source; recording from at least one point of the separate object by means of at least one sensor a first multivariate signal; predicting or classifying, by means of a calibration method previously performed on a subset of the population, between the first multivariate signal and the quality of composition, a second signal expressing the magnitude of at least one quality variable of univariate variation; and separating the separate object from the sorting device to the at least one collected class in dependence on the magnitude of the at least one quality variable of the second signal from the at least one point.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of coding motion information associated to an image sequence, comprising the steps of subdividing each image into blocks and applying to each block a block-matching algorithm for defining a shifted block as the prediction of the current block, the motion vector between said shifted and current blocks being the predicted vector associated to said current block and all the motion vectors similarly predicted for a whole current image constituting a motion vector field associated to said current image. For each current image, the motion information constituted by said associated motion vector field is finally coded. According to the invention, the motion vector C to be coded is approximated by a spatio-temporal predictor P defined by a relation of the type: P=alpha.S+beta.T, where S and T are spatial and temporal predictors respectively, and (alpha, beta) are weighting coefficients respectively associated to said spatial and temporal predictors.

Abstract: This invention relates to compositions comprising cationic preservatives and anionic hydrocolloids, to methods of preparing them and their application in food microbiological protection. Due to their composition, food products are susceptible to act as a culture medium for microorganisms, and this constitutes a possible risk to human health. Thus, food products require good protection against microbiological contamination. The present invention relates to the interaction between cationic preservatives derived from the condensation of fatty acids and esterified dibasic amino acids and anionic hydrocolloids, such as pectins, xanthan gums, carrageenans, acacia gums or agars. The most preferred cationic preservative is the ethyl ester of the lauramide of arginine monohydrochloride (LAE). As a result of this interaction, some anionic hydrocolloids are able to absorb LAE and precipitate together by the enhancement of their lipophilic properties. These new solid compounds can be isolated by filtration and, surprisingly, retain the microbiological inhibitory activity of LAE. The solid compounds contain approximately stoechiometric amounts of LAE and the anionic hydrocolloid. The preferred solid compound is LAE/xanthan gum. The solid compounds are stable and can be stored under normal conditions of temperature and humidity for long periods of time. The invention relates to the method of preserving food products using the new solid compounds and the food products obtained as a result of the application of the method.

Abstract: A device for injecting preparations is controlled by a sealed circuit block (10) containing integrated sensors (17; 21, 22, 23 24) which monitors selected parameters. Two pairs of integrated Hall elements (21, 23 and 22, 24) monitors movements relative to a sine formed magnetic field presented along the perimeter of a multipoled magnetised ring (7). The Hall elements in each pair are displaced 180° magnetically relative to each other and the two pairs of Hall elements are displaced 90° magnetically from each other. Each pair is coupled to a differential amplifier (25, 26) to provide a cosine and a sine signal, respectively. The sine signal is divided by the cosine signal to create a tangent signal as an entrance to a table showing the angle of the movement.
