Two media can flow along both sides of the wall in order for a reciprocal heat exchange to take place. The wall and/or the means for increasing its surface area are provided with a hydrophilic coating having at least one of the following properties : (a) a strong adhesion to the wall surface ; (b) providing cover for essentially the entire heat exchange surface area ; (c) a maximum thickness of 50 microns ; (d) a thermal resistance which is small in relation to the total thermal resistance in the heat exchange path between the heat exchange surface and the medium flowing along it ; (e) a hydrophilicity sufficient for a film of water to be spread over the coating surface when it comes into contact with moisture, optionally in combination with the formation of a buffer supply of water stored in capillaries in the coating ; (f) a low surface roughness so that the medium flowing over it is subjected only to a negligible flow resistance ; (g) a low susceptibility to thermal or (bio)chemical degradation, erosion, microorganism growth and fouling ; and (h) morphological, chemical and physical homogeneity. The coating is applied via a chemical method in which each heat exchange surface is initially activated using a chemical and/or mechanical treatment and then the coating is formed by a chemical reaction from an aqueous solution.

Abstract: A method for decoding a data stream containing audio/video
substreams (14) and control substreams comprises buffering
nodes (12) having the possibility to buffer multiple data
packets in the same buffer. This may be achieved by having
separate parameters for the allocated buffer size and any
stored packet. Thus, not only multiple packets may be stored
in the buffering node (12), but also such node may exist while
its buffer is empty, so that the node may be reused later.
This is particularly useful for buffering and selectively
accessing multiple audio packets in MPEG-4 audio nodes or
sound nodes.

Abstract: A self-developing device (1) capable of open-ended development makes
use of a special motivational system for selecting which action should be taken
on the environment by an associated sensory-motor apparatus (2). For a given
candidate action, a motivational module (11) calculates a reward associated
with the corresponding values that would be taken by one or more motivational
variables that are independent of the nature of the associated sensory-motor
apparatus. Preferred motivational variables are dependent on the
developmental history of the device (1), and include variables quantifying the
predictability, familiarity and stability of sensory-motor variables serving as the
inputs to the device (1). The sensory-motor variables represent the status of
the external environment and/or the internal resources (3) of the sensory-motor
apparatus (2) whose behaviour is controlled by the self-developing device (1).
Open-ended development is enabled by attributing a reward which is
proportional to the rate of change of the history-dependent motivational
variables.

Abstract: A system and method for applying brine solution to food pieces, such as potato chips, allows application of brine solution to a continuous stream of food pieces in a brine bath, while maintaining a continuously refreshed supply of brine solution in the brine bath, but without requiring that the used brine be discharged as effluent. Food pieces are washed in a water bath and then deposited, with an amount of surface water carried on the washed slices, into a brine bath tank. The brine bath tank has a predetermined volume of brine solution at a predetermined concentration of brining substance in the solution. The food pieces are marinated in the brine bath so as to thoroughly wet the pieces and are then removed from the brine bath tank with an amount of surface solution carried on the slices. The amount of surface solution carried on the marinated slices is greater than the amount of surface water carried on the washed, pre-marinated slices. Brine solution and/or salts are continuously added to the brine bath tank to maintain a specified volume and concentration of brine solution within the brine bath tank. The amount of brine solution that is removed from the brine bath tank is about equal to the amount of fresh brine solution and/or salts that are added to the tank, so that the entire volume of brine solution within the brine bath tank is replaced after processing a predetermined amount of food pieces through the brine bath tank. A microbicide may be added to the brine bath tank to prevent microbial growth within the tank, and the brine solution may be filtered to remove filterable contaminants therefrom.
