Title: Sharpener assembly for a food slicer and related method
Inventor: YAN GONGPU
IPC: B24B3/46
Filed: 1999-12-30
Granted: 2005-04-05
Abstract: In a typical embodiment of the present invention, a sharpener assembly which is mountable on a food slicer and a base assembly is provided. The sharpener preferably includes two abrasive stones (52A, 52B) which opposingly engage the front and rear sides or faces of the knife (102) simultaneously to grind and hone a fine edge of the knife.      The main abrasive stone (52A) is on the back side of the knife (102), i.e., the side opposite the food, and comprises a circular or disc-shaped abrasive stone mounted for rotation on a shaft. A similar abrasive stone (52B) carried on another shaft acts as a truing stone and comes into contact with the front side of the knife (102) to debur the sharpened knife edge.

Abstract: A hub port (300) in a hub of a loop network which detects and replaces invalid data and invalid control signals in the datastream of the loop. The hub detects invalid data and invalid control signals or primitives received from an attached node port (308) and substitutes buffer data or valid primitives. The hub port (300) substitutes buffer data or primitive which have correct running disparity for the datastream at the point of the substitution.      In another implementation, an error detection device (428) is included in a loop network (400) and monitors the datastream of the loop network (400). The error detection device detects invalid data and invalid control signals or primitives received from an upstream node in the loop and substitutes buffer data or valid primitives.   The error detection device substitutes buffer data or primitive which have correct running disparity for the datastream at the point of the substitution.

Granted: 2007-02-27
Abstract: An integrated process and system for producing electricity for stationary purposes or for electric-powered vehicle using any of multiple hydrocarbon input fuels (1), a fuel cell (50), and a thermoelectric reformer (10) that allows quick response to transient loads.  Optional high-temperature and low-temperature water-gas shift reactors (20,22) are used to convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide in the reformate stream; a hydrogen separator (40) is used to remove carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and trace hydrocarbons; and a condenser (34) is used to remove moisture from the reformate stream. Hydrogen gas not consumed in the fuel cell (50) is stored or recycled for subsequent input to the fuel cell. H2O produced in the fuel cell is recycled for use in the reformer (10) and water-gas shift reactors (20,22) and is heated with waste heat from the fuel cell and carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons from the hydrogen separator (40). A  mixer (70) is used to vaporize the input fuel (1) prior to entering the thermoelectric reformer (10). Some of the electricity (100) produced in the fuel cell is used for powering the thermoelectric reformer (10) and is also stored for subsequent startup and peak load purposes.
