Inventor: BERNATZ KEVIN J
IPC: A23G4/04
Filed: 2002-05-20
Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé permettant de façonner des produits de confiserie dans des formes voulues. Dans un mode de réalisation de cette invention, les ingrédients d'un produit de confiserie, tel qu'un chewing-gum, sont unis. Ces ingrédients sont mélangés, refroidis puis façonnés comme des pièces de centres traditionnelles. Ensuite, ces pièces de centres sont amenées dans un granulateur immergé (16). Ce granulateur immergé découpe les pièces de confiserie extrudées en produits miniatures. Une alimentation d'eau de recirculation entraîne immédiatement les produits miniatures hors du granulateur, les refroidit, et les transporte vers un séchoir centrifuge (36). Ce séchoir centrifuge sépare les produits miniature de l'eau de circulation. Les produits miniatures séparés sont immédiatement saupoudrés d'un composé anti-agglomérant. Enfin, le produit est enrobé ou confectionné pour la consommation.

Inventor: HERRE JUERGEN
IPC: G10L17/26
Filed: 2002-06-20
Abstract: For producing a fingerprint of an audio signal, use is made of information defining a plurality of predetermined fingerprint modi, all of the fingerprint modi relating to the same type of fingerprint, the fingerprint modi, however, providing different fingerprints differing from each other with regard to their data volume, on the one hand, and to their characterizing strength for characterizing the audio signal, on the other hand, the fingerprint modi being pre-determined such that a fingerprint in accordance with a fingerprint modus having a first characterizing strength is convertible to a fingerprint in accordance with a fingerprint modus having a second characterizing strength, without using the audio signal. A predetermined fingerprint modus of the plurality of predetermined fingerprint modi is set and subsequently used for computing a fingerprint using the audio signal. The convertibility feature of the fingerprints having been produced by the different fingerprint modi enables setting a flexible compromise between the data volume and the characterizing strength for certain applications without having to re-generate a fingerprint database with each change of the fingerprint modus. Fingerprint representations scaled with regard to time or frequency may readily be converted to a different fingerprint modus.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for controllably
registering a plurality of reference marks of a continuously
moving first layer (54) with a plurality of reference marks
(74) on a continuously moving second layer (66). The distance
between two successive reference marks is sensed, on one of the
layers, generating a signal in response to the sensed distance.
The distance between subsequent successive reference marks is
adjusted to a selected distance, and the continuously moving
first and second layers are joined together, thereby forming a
composite layer (54,66). The position of each reference mark in
the composite layer, relative to its associated reference
marks, is sensed, and a signal is generated when one of the
reference marks is out of position relative to its associated
reference marks. The signal is processed in accordance with
preprogrammed instructions to generate a speed command signal,
and the speed of one of the continuously moving layers is
adjusted in response to the speed command signal in accordance
with the preprogrammed instructions.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for facilitating efficient
operation of trick modes in a personal video recording (PVR) system.
Stream-navigation data from a data stream is captured and preprocessed

data stream. The stream-navigation data comprises start code data,
content rating data, and conditional access data that is embedded in
