Abstract: An extrusion die and flow control method incorporates a flow control in the form of a flow diverter which extends transversely across the flow path. The diverter forms part of a window upstream of the die lips and provides a slight tapering enlargement wich may be moved along the window across the flow path from one side to the other or preferably, from the center symmetrically outwardly, or vice versa, to divert flow from the center proportionally to the edges without changing the total cross sectional area of the window. The window is formed by a pair of axially rotatable cylindrical bars (63,64) recessed in the die body (31,32) which each have a flat forming the enlargement. In the preferred form the flat Is helical. The helical flats are opposed or matched so that as the bars (63,64) contrarotate synchronously the enlargement will move across the window. Where the movement is symmetrical from the center or axis to each transverse edge and vice versa, the helical matching flats on each bar turn in opposite directions on each end of the middle of each bar. Where the enlargement simply moves from one transverse end of the window to the other the turn of the helix of each flat is the same from end to end of the bar, although for each of the pair, in the opposite direction. Movement of the enlargement across the flow path is obtained by axial rotation of the bar. Tandem pairs of bars may be used separately or in conjunction with each other, and may have axially inclined flats. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A pointing interface for natural human interaction with a display-based computer system includes a hand-manipulated pointer configured to permit it to be aimed by line of sight to point at any arbitrary position within the user's field of view, including positions beyond the user's natural reach, and to be swept along any arbitrary path and at any arbitrary speed within the user's natural capability. A detector detects emanations from at least some positions at which the pointer may be aimed. Circuitry identifies the locations of positions at which the user is aiming the pointer. The interface enables the user to point to a position within his field of view and beyond his reach, move his hand along any arbitrary path and at any arbitrary speed within the user's natural capability to point to another position, and so on, and to have the circuitry automatically identify the locations of the series of positions to which he has pointed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for high pressure, high shear homogenization of a tomato-based product, such as a ketchup or a sauce, is provided to increase the product's viscosity without significant loss of other important product characteristics, such as liquid retention, color, texture, etc. The method also provides for a homogenized tomato-based product with a significantly reduced tomato solid content, without loss of other important product characteristics. In one embodiment, a slurry of, among other components, a tomato paste, puree, juice or mixture of tomato solids, which may be blended and cooked at elevated temperatures, is introduced into a high pressure, high shear homogenizer and is homogenized at pressures from about 5,000 psi (345 bar) to in excess of about 14,500 psi (1000 bar) and is transferred to an appropriate dispensing container. In other embodiments, the tomato mixture may be blended with a food grade acid such as acetic acid (in the form of vinegar); and may include 4% corn syrup or 1% starch to increase or stabilize the viscosity of the product.

Abstract: A speech compression system called "Transform Predictive Coding", or TPC, provides for encoding 7 kHz wideband speech (16 kHz sampling) at a target bit-rate range of 16 to 32 kb/s (1 to 2 bits/sample). The system uses short-term and long-term prediction to remove the redundancy in speech. A prediction residual is transformed and coded in the frequency domain to take advantage of knowledge in human auditory perception. The TPC coder uses only open-loop quantization and therefore has a fairly low complexity. The speech quality of TPC is essentially transparent at 32 kb/s, very good at 24 kb/s, and acceptable at 16 kb/s. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Electrical circuit protection arrangements with PTC devices and mechanical switches. The combinations of this invention permit the use of mechanical switches and PTC devices to switch voltages and currents in normal circuit operations, wherein the voltage and/or current ratings of the mechanical switches and PTC devices are much less than the normal operating voltages and currents of the circuits. This feature permits the use of smaller and less expensive mechanical switches and PTC device than would otherwise be required in such circuits. The arrangements of switches and PTC devices also permit the PTC devices to limit the magnitude of the fault current passed to the circuit.

Abstract: A method for reducing the severity of host vs graft reaction (HVGR) by the transplant recipient of donor organ or tissue by the transplant recipient and is based on the discovery that hsp60 autoimmunity can function as an accelerator of foreign immunity and the down-regulation of hsp60 autoimmunity suppresses or prevents the graft rejection reaction. Administration of any composition which causes the down-regulation of hsp60 autoimmunity, such as hsp60 or peptide p277 in a tolerogenic carrier or a biologically active carrier capable of mediating a TH1->TH2 shift, will thus reduce the severity of HVGR.

Abstract: A helical scan drum design for use in non-tracking tape devices which assures 70% coverage of a track to be read by overscanning with at least two read heads at approximate 1X speed. The present invention further provides a simulation method for evaluating potential drum designs for such overscan applications. The preferred drum design uses pairs of read heads having identical azimuth angles and positioned on the rotating drum such that in combination they overlap the scan of a track by 130% the track width. These dimensions assure at least 70% coverage of each track by at least one of the pair of heads at up to 1X speed while assuring no overlap with another recorded track recorded along an identical azimuth angle. The simulation method allows for evaluation of potential drum designs by accepting parameters describing the intended drum application and then simulating track read operations over a plurality of simulated tracks to determine the efficacy of the design over a range of tape speeds and gap widths. Designs that simulate successful reading of a sufficient threshold number of tracks over a sufficiently broad range of tape speeds may then be selected for further test and evaluation.
