Title: Method for preparing beverages and beverage preparing machines
IPC: A47J31/40
Filed: 1989-03-20
Granted: 1993-09-15
Abstract: A beverage is prepared employing a package containing at least one beverage ingredient, e.g. roast and ground coffee. The package (10;200) is located at a brewing station, the package is pierced by a tool (49;248) to form an outlet opening (38;202) in the package, an aqueous medium, e.g. hot water, is introduced into the package, the aqueous medium is allowed to commingle with the beverage ingredient, and the beverage so formed is collected through the outlet formed in the package. The piercing tool is employed both to form the outlet opening, and to fold the material (117;204) surrounding the opening out of the path of the beverage which subsequently emerges through the outlet opening.

Title: Quartz tuning fork manometer
IPC: G01L19/04
Filed: 1989-12-08
Granted: 1993-09-15
Abstract: In the present pressure measurement process the damping signal of a tuning fork quartz manometer, which is a measure of the prevailing pressure, is so combined with the correction value proportional to the resonant frequency that a measurement result is obtained, which is independent of any contamination of the tuning fork quartz. Apart from the resonant frequency (fR) of the measuring quartz (11), preferably also the resonant frequency (fR') of a reference quartz (21) kept at constant pressure is determined. Thus, the damping signal (RS) can be corrected by a correction value proportional to the difference between the two reference frequencies (RR'-fR), which is substantially temperature-independent.

IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 1989-06-29
Granted: 1997-11-19
Abstract: This invention relates to a computer system having a scalable, multiprocessor architecture with a distributed physical memory that supports data with a shared memory. The location of a data item in the machine is completely decoupled from its address. In particular, there is no distinguished home location where a data item must normally reside. Instead, data migrate automatically to where needed, reducing access times and traffic. The computer system is comprised of a hierarchy of buses and controllers linking an arbitrary number of processors, each with a large, set-associative memory. Each controller has a set-associative directory containing data for the data items under its control. The controllers process remote access of data by snooping buses above and below them. Utilizing this data-access protocol allows automatic migration, duplication, and displacement of data while maintaining data coherency and without losing data from the system.

Abstract: The halogen-free casting resin which is suitable in particular for providing the electric and electronic components with a flame-retardant covering and which contains the acidic ester of a phosphorus compound having hydroxyl functional groups and of an organic anhydride is proposed. Stable mixtures can be prepared from the acidic ester and the curing component of the casting resin and can be used for curing any epoxy resins. The reactive acidic ester is chemically incorporated in the resin matrix and thus imparts improved long-term flameproofing properties to the casting resin moulding compounds without adversely affecting their other properties.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the coproduction of a combustible gas stream usable as an energy source, a sulfur-dioxide-containing second gas stream usable as a source of oxidant in the gasification of coal, and a sulfur-dioxide-containing third gas stream usable as a feedstock for the production of sulfuric acid. The process includes heating coal in a coal gasification zone in the presence of an oxygen and sulfur dioxide-containing atmosphere under partial coal gasifying conditions to produce a carbonaceous char and a crude coal gas stream. Sulfur-containing compounds are removed from the coal gas stream and converted to elemental sulfur. The carbonaceous char is combined with gypsum to form a feed mixture. The non-gypsum portion of the feed mixture contains sufficient reducing potential to release substantially all of the sulfur in the gypsum as gaseous compounds of sulfur in a +4 or lower oxidation state. The feed mixture is heated under reducing conditions to produce a sulfur-dioxide-containing second gas stream recovered at an early stage of the reaction, a sulfur-dioxide-containing third gas stream and a solid sintered product. The sulfur-dioxide-containing second gas stream is recycled back to the gasification zone to provide the oxidant for the coal gasification.

Abstract: Procédés selon lesquels n'importe quelle fibre textile coupée ou filament continu peuvent être traités par étirage de manière que la structure moléculaire interne de la fibre est orientée le long de l'axe du fil de la fibre. Uniquement par simple application continue ou simultanée d'une contrainte d'étirage dynamique unique et d'une seule force de torsion dynamique, lesquelles sont correctes et régulées avec précision l'une par rapport à l'autre et par rapport à leur taux de fluage d'entrée, chaque fibre individuelle subit un traitement d'étirage efficace et uniforme. On améliore les propriétés de résistance nette desdites fibres individuelles ainsi que les caractéristiques de qualité voulues et leur uniformité de section transversale continue, ce qui élargit leur utilité. Les procédés de l'invention peuvent améliorer sensiblement l'uniformité du traitement d'étirage de fibres à filament continu et maintenir leur uniformité extrudée originale, ce qui permet des traitements de séries multiples permettant d'obtenir une efficacité et une uniformité du traitement d'étirage sensiblement améliorées.
