Abstract: The tail of the towed target includes infrared flares (12). Each flare is situated in a launching unit and is pulled by the decoy during the duration of its flaring. After flaring, a cutter severs the towing line. An ignition charge ignites an infrared flare in the launching unit and after ignition, creates a gas pressure in the launching unit to drive out the flare, breaking a securing wire.

Abstract: A carry lookahead adder (100) having a reduced internal block fanout which is
achieved efficiently in terms of the silicon area needed to implement the carry lookahead
adder (100). The carry lookahead adder (100) of the present invention is characterized by a
modified binary tree structure having carry generate/propagate signal operators (21, 31, 35,
41, 44, 48, 51, 23, 25, 33, 37, 42, 46, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 51-54, 83-86, 55, 57,
59, 63, 56, 58, 61, 64) located in such a manner that the maximum internal block fanout is
equal to (adder width)/8 for adders having a width of at least 16 bits. For adders having a
width of less than 16 bits, the internal block fanout is 2. The routing complexity is
increased in order to implement redundant overlapping carry generate/propagate operations
which, in turn, decreases the internal block fanout of the adder. However, increases in
routing complexity can be accomplished within the minimum X-by-Y area of each stage of
the adder. Therefore, the overall performance of the carry lookahead adder (100) of the
present invention can be optimized while meeting minimum area requirements.

Abstract: Natural cocoa flavor and aroma compositions are prepared by passing a
natural aroma gas, preferably from cocoa beans, through one or more condensers to
remove water and substantially all the acetic acid present therein. The aroma gas may
then be placed into a cryogenic collector in which liquid nitrogen is sprayed directly into
the aroma gas steam to rapidly condense the aroma frost suspended in a stream of
nitrogen gas, while minimizing contact of the cooled gas with the walls of the collector.
The suspension of aroma frost particles in gaseous nitrogen is passed through a tubular
porous filter to remove the aroma frost particles which collect on the outer surface of
the tubular filter, with the nitrogen gas passing through the porus filter and being
exhausted from the collector. The aroma particles recovered are suitable for
incorporation in various food products where a natural cocoa or chocolate flavor is
desired, including soluble cocoa products, cake mixes, confectionery products, and the
like.

Abstract: To separate foreign particles from the paper fibers in a suspension, by flotation, the flotation action starts with an upwards flow into the flotation vessel (1). The dividing walls (6,6',6) in the vessel (1) are vertical and are next to each other. The paths of the upwards and downwards flows extend over at least one-half of the height (H1) of the suspension filling the flotation vessel (1). The cleaned suspension (S') is taken from the lower section of the vessel (1). The vertical component of suspension (S,S') flow speed on an upwards direction (3) is 2-12 cm/sec. and 1-7 cm/sec. on a downwards flow direction (2). The vertical component of the suspension flow speed in the final downwards direction (2) is 1-4 cm/sec. The suspension (S) is initially mixed with gas bubbles, and added to the suspension already present in the flotation vessel (1). At least part of the gas (G) for the bubbles is mixed with the suspension at the direction change point from a downwards flow (2) into an upwards movement. The bubbles formed by the gas (G) are significantly larger than the bubbles already present in the suspension. The bubbles in the upwards flow (3) are smaller than those in the downwards flow (2). The height (H1) of the suspension (S) in the vessel (1) is at least equal to the max. horizontal width of the base (8). The flotation vessel (1) is oval or round, and the suspension (S) is fed into the center. The cleaned suspension (S') is led outwards to give a main flow from the radially inner zone radially outwards. The circular movement of the suspension (S) in the peripheral direction of the vessel (1) is at a speed of at least 1 cm/sec. The inlet (9) is at the lower section of the vessel (1), at the center of the base, and the outflow (10) for the cleaned suspension (S') is radially outwards, to lie opposite each other. Part of the dividing walls (6,6',6) is tightly bonded to the base (8) of the flotation vessel (1) and the other part forms a flow passage round it, with the sealed and open parts alternating in the main flow direction. The free end of the dividing wall (6) is below the level of suspension (S) in the vessel (1). The vessel (1) has a vertical side wall (7), and the side wall (7) and dividing walls (6, 6',6) are concentric. The dividing wall (6,6',6) height (H2) over the vessel base (8) is at least twice the max. horizontal width of the vessel (1). The vessel base (8) has connections for the feed of flotation air or a mixture of liquid and air, at the flow passage openings (4) or directly downstream of them.

IPC: G01D5/30

Abstract: A rotor disk or color wheel received on a shaft to be sensed has an annular band of
dual color (red/green) filter material having opposite circumferential gradient. A printed
circuit board on one axial side of the rotor disk has the dual color LED, emitting light to a
reflector on the opposite axial side of the rotor disk. Some reflected light from the LED
passes through the filter which transmits, according to the amount of single color filter
material present at the particular rotor station to a photodetector on the circuit board.
Other rays of the emitted light are reflected directly to a second detector for ambient
compensation. The amount of light transmitted by the filter causes the detector current to
vary the charge rate of a capacitor charged to a reference level, and when reached the LED
is switched to the other of the dual color emission. The time required to charge the
capacitor to the reference level determines the fraction of the duty cycle of the output
signal which may be correlated with known data on the color gradient to determine the
rotor angular position. A second color wheel is indexed or geared up or down as an
integrator for counting the number of full revolutions of the shaft color wheel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for
fabricating a glass preform used in the manufacture of optical
waveguides. The method uses a gas phase flame-free hydrolysis
aerosol of a silica precurser without carrier gas and in the substantial
absence of combustibles such as CH 4  or H 2 . The flow of
the reactants in the reaction chamber is confined and deposited on the
target preform by careful control of the thermal profile in the system,
namely by providing a thermal gradient in the reaction chamber such that
the temperature increases from the inlet to the outlet of the reaction
chamber, prior to deposition of the so-formed aerosol on the deposition
target.

Abstract: A cable drive assembly 102 for a motor vehicle locking system is described. A
lock mechanism 104 is mounted on a first carrier 108. The first carrier is
connected to a second carrier 110 by a cable, such that turning of an appropriate
key in the lock causes the first carrier to rotate. In turn this causes the second
carrier to rotate. Rotation of the second carrier causes a latch mechanism remote
from the locking system to be actuated. The first carrier prior is held in a first
position within a housing prior to insertion of the lock mechanism. Insertion of the
lock mechanism during assembly of the locking system frees the carrier and allows
it to rotate in response to turning of the lock mechanism.
