Abstract: Apparatus for preparing potato chips. The apparatus has a slicer for the slicing of potatoes, means for conveying sliced potatoes through a heated oil bath and for removal of cooked potato chips from the heated oil bath. The slicer has a knife blade that rotates at the lower end of a hopper for potatoes, the speed of rotation of the knife blade being controlled so that the knife blade is stationary when the temperature of the oil bath is below a predetermined temperature, and the speed of rotation of the knife blade being further controlled so that the speed of rotation increases as the temperature is increased above said predetermined temperature. The slicer preferably has a chute that tapers to an orifice above the slicer blade, with the orifice tapering in the direction of rotation of the slicer blade. The apparatus may also be adapted for use with corn chips or tortilla chips. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A stator device which prevents the formation of varnish accumulations on jumper wires (6), thereby preventing jumper wire breakage due to temperature variations. A gap (22) is created between the jumper wire (6) and the stud (20) located on the stator body (10). When varnish is applied to the stud (20) and the jumper wires, excess varnish flows through the gap (22) and pools underneath. Moreover, when there is a significant accumulation of varnish in the gap, the varnish will flow off from the edge of the stator body (10).

Abstract: Late-binding/dynamic pathname resolution can be performed by a variable identifier operating in user or kernel mode, and a pathname engine and a data structure operating in kernel mode. The variable identifier identifies a variable in a pathname. The pathname engine evaluates the variable by converting the variable into a character string such that a path to an object file is established. The pathname engine determines a scope of potential character string values for the variable by mapping the variable to corresponding values stored in the data structure. Each variable has a well-defined scope of values because the only values available are the values selected for storage in the data structure. The mechanism for establishing values is extensible such that variable/value pairs can be implemented in the data structure at any time.

Abstract: A vehicle steering control system is provided with a steering angle ratio varying mechanism (5), a variable power assisted steering mechanism (6) and a steering angle ratio controller (12) to prevent power assist loss caused by a tracking delay in the variable power assisted steering mechanism (6), and to prevent an offset of the steering wheel maximum rotation angle produced by a difference in the steering angular speed. The steering angle ratio varying mechanism (5) varies the steering angle ratio, which is the ratio of the turning angle of the front wheels (2) 2 with respect to the steering angle of the steering wheel (1). The variable power assisted steering mechanism (6) outputs an auxiliary steering force that supplements the steering force of the driver to the steering mechanism (3) for turning the front wheels (2). The steering angle ratio controller (12) increases the steering angle ratio in a steering angle range in the vicinity of the steering angle center point, and reduces the steering angle ratio in the steering angle range in the vicinity of the rack stopper position, regardless of the steering angular speed of the steering wheel (1).

Abstract: A method and system are provided for integrating partitions in a virtual machine environment. Specifically, a partition bus is provided, where the partition bus operatively connects partitions in such a way that it functions as a data transport mechanism allowing for data transfer and device sharing between partitions. The partition bus relies on virtualizing software in order to establish itself and to establish channels of communication between partitions and to inject interrupts to partitions where it is appropriate to do so. Furthermore, the partition bus employs such mechanisms ring buffers, transfer pages, and memory map changes to transfer information (requests and data). Furthermore, it uses policy agents to decide when information should be transferred or when devices should be shared among partitions. Lastly, it employs various mechanisms to ensure smooth integration between partitions, which includes remote services that have proxy devices and device versioning functionalities.

Abstract: In wireless USB data transfers over UWB, software configures hardware thresholds to control data transfer in a manner that uses bandwidth for good connections over bad connections, given the high error rate experienced with wireless USB. Periodic transfers are first attempted before asynchronous transfers, as long as the periodic transfers are successful. When failures are occurring, the hardware includes a mechanism having a software-configurable threshold specifying the number of errors a given endpoint can tolerate before it is paused in the schedule. By pausing transfer attempts that are likely to again fail, endpoints with successful transfers are favored over those experiencing errors. When the number of active transfers pending exceeds a software-configurable notification threshold for isochronous endpoints, the hardware notifies the software of this state, corresponding to a low-buffer condition at the receiver. The software may then reconfigure thresholds and deactivate other transfers to force data transfers into the buffer.
