Title: Microwave toasting of puffed r-t-e cereals.
Inventor: SCHWAB EDWARD C
IPC: A23L1/164
Filed: 1992-09-21
Abstract: Methods for toasting a puffed ready-to-eat cereal base are provided to increase the toasted flavor thereof. The methods comprise the step of subjecting the cereal base to a brief exposure to a high intensity (>125 V/cm) microwave field for about 5 to 45 seconds. The microwave toasted cereal pieces exhibit superior flavor resulting from "interior" toasting of the cereal base.

Abstract: A swash plate type compressor with a variable displacement mechanism is disclosed. The compressor includes a compressor housing having a cylinder block provided with a plurality of cylinders and a crank chamber. A piston is slidably fitted within each of the cylinders and is reciprocated by a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a drive shaft rotatably supported by the compressor housing, a pair of rotor plates fixed on the drive shaft and a swash plate having a surface with an adjustable incline angle or tilt. The rotor plates are arranged on opposite sides of the swash plate. The swash plate converts the rotation motion of the drive shaft into the reciprocating motion of the pistons which are coupled to the swash plate through bearing. A plurality of slide contact coupling mechanisms which is projected between the swash plate and the rotor plate slidably contacts with an arm portion of the swash plate and the projection of the rotor plate to permit variations in the incline angle or tilt of the swash plate. These slide contact coupling mechanisms include two arm extending from opposite sides of the swash plate and a projection extending from each of two rotor plates. The combination and arrangement of these slide coupling mechanisms on opposite sides of the swash plate facilitates the assembly in product and reduce the unbalance of the rotation motion of the drive shaft so that the machinery parts of slide contact coupling mechanisms can be reduced.

Abstract: The drive device has a cam disc (18) which can be driven in a pulsed manner in a rotational direction (D) by means of an energy store in order to connect the power circuit breaker. An intermediate section (50) having a continuously reducing radius is adjacent to a first section (48) of the cam track (20) of the cam disc (18), in which first section (48) the radius increases as the azimuth angle increases counter to the rotational direction (D). This intermediate section (50) is followed by a second section (52) which runs approximately in the radial direction. As a result of the interaction of the first section (48) with the roller (22'), the triangular lever (76) is moved, together with the switching shaft (26), counter to the rotation direction (D) from the disconnected position into the connected position, and through an excess travel (U) beyond this point. When the intermediate section (50) moves past the roller (22'), the triangular lever (76) moves slowly back in the rotational direction (D) as a result of the force of the disconnection spring, which is now stressed, until its latching tab (78) rests against the connection latch (72). This slow backward movement results in the impact forces which act on the latch (34) being greatly reduced. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A tunable etalon filter is formed by placing mirrors (12,24) on either side of a spacer  (22) of a material which has a relatively large rate of change of refractive index with temperature, and coupling the filter to a temperature control means to control the temperature and, therefore, the index of reaction of the spacer. More specifically, the spacer can be a silicon wafer, or of zinc side or zinc selenide or the like. The mirrors (12,24) can be formed of quarter wavelength layer pairs of dielectric coatings of high and low refractive index material. The temperature control means can be a thermoelectric coder coupled to a heat sink to control the temperature of the spacer by either heating or cooling. 
     The filter is coarse tuned to a desired channel by adjusting its angle relative to the angle of the received optical signal. It is then locked to the transmitter signal by adjusting the temperature of the spacer. 
     The advantages of this filter are: large tunability by angle tuning; control of the transmission wavelength by means of temperature; large free-spectral-range; narrow passband; low insertion loss; and high reliability.
