Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing ready-to-eat, shaped rice products that are comprised of visible, fully-cooked rice grains joined to each other. If the products of the present invention are frozen and stored frozen, they can be reheated with any common kitchen heating appliance. Rice grains are first infused with a fluid until their centers become soft, fluid-infused and fully-cooked. Food particles can also be added to and dispersed with the rice grains. The hot rice grains (without being cooled) are then immediately formed into shaped units such as rice finger foods or rice grain shells with formers that do not shear or mash the soft cooked rice grains. The fully- cooked and fluid-infused shaped rice units are then heated in either a fat-fryer or hot- air oven until their texture firms enough for them to be hand-held.

Abstract: The present invention creates a permanent record of an animal through a series of steps including, preliminarily acquiring an image of the retinal vasculature of the animal of interest; digitizing that image if the image is not a digital image; analyzing the image to determine if the image is satisfactory for further analysis; storing the image; and analyzing the image for unique anatomical landmarks. The image and data gathered therefrom may be stored in a database for later retrieval and comparison against other images. The data gathered from the image may be compared against other stored data in the database to determine the identity of the animal. Preferably, the system would also include a global positioning system ("GPS") device which would simultaneously time and date stamp the acquired image as well as stamp the image with the location where the imaging took place by recording the latitude and longitude of that location.

Abstract: A method for producing a purified hemoglobin product includes loading a hemoglobin solution onto an anion exchange chromatography column. At least one tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane acetate buffer solution is injected into the column. The buffer solution has a pH  lower than that of the column, whereby a purified hemoglobin product elutes from the column. In one embodiment, the hemoglobin solution initially can be equilibrated at a pH of greater than about 8.7. In another embodiment, contaminants can be removed by equilibrating the column with at least about eleven column void volumes of buffer solution at an intermediate pH of between about 8.2 and about 8.6, to thereby form a stepped pH gradient. In still another embodiment, all buffer solutions employed are tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane acetate.

Title: Pivoting vibration absorber including a torsional spring and pipeline system utilizing same
Inventor: PTAK KEITH R
IPC: F16F7/108
Filed: 2001-02-23
Granted: 2007-05-22
Abstract: Vibration absorbers are provided which utilize a torsional spring and a dynamic mass to control vibrations that occur within the structure to which they are attached. Additionally, pipeline systems are provided which utilize such vibration absorbers including a mass and a torsional spring to control the vibrations that occur within the pipeline system. In various embodiments of the present invention, the torsional spring is one or more elastomer elements coupled between the dynamic mass and a support frame to produce a spring force responsive to pivotal rotation of the dynamic mass relative to the support frame. In various embodiments, one or more elastomer elements arranged in series or in parallel may be used as the torsional spring to provide a desired vibratory dampening characteristic for applications, such as pipelines. Use of such torsional springs may provide a more simplified design with less mechanical joints which may be less susceptible to failure in harsh environments.

Abstract: A method (200, 300, 400) according to the invention is a method for determining a condidate cell for an active set, where the quality factor of each cell in the active set is determined (202), a quality factor of a test cell is determined (203), and the test cell is accepted (205) as a candidate cell for the active set if an acceptance criterion is fulfilled. The method is characterized in that the acceptance criterion is selected (201) so that for a certain first quality factor of a test cell and for a certain first set of quality factors, consisting of quality factors of the cells in a first active set, the acceptance criterion has the same value as for a certain second quality factor of a test cell and for a certain second set of quality factors, consisting of quality factors of cells in a second active set, when the first quality factor is equal to the second quality factor multiplied with any finite number and the first set of quality factors is the same as a set formed of the quality factors belonging to the second set of quality factors multiplied with the same finite number.  The invention relates also to an arrangement, to a mobile station and to a network element where decisions about accepting a cell as a candidate cell for the active set are done.

Title: Raid controller system and method with ata emulation host interface
Inventor: STOLOWITZ MICHAEL C
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2000-09-21
Granted: 2005-08-16
Abstract: A RAID storage device controller (70) provides a host interface (56) for interfacing the controller to a host system bus. The host interface is isolated from the attached storage devices, for example IDE disk drives, so that the actual attached drives are not limited in number or interface protocol. Various device ports can be implemented, and various RAID strategies, e.g. level 3 and level 5, can be used. In all the cases, the host interface provides a standard, uniform interface to the host, namely an ATA interface (82, 84 and 86), and preferably a dual channel ATA interface. The host interface emulates the ATA single or dual channel interface and emulates one or two attached IDE devices per channel, regardless of the actual number of devices physically connected to the controller. Thus, for example, five or seven IDE drives can be deployed in RAID level 5 protocol without changing the standard BIOS in a PCI host machine. Thus the RAID controller is transparent relative to a standard dual channel ATA controller board.
