Abstract: An apparatus for continuously mixing food products or for continuous high temperature frying on a heat exchange surface. The rotation of an agitator (12) pushes the food product toward the discharge outlet (26) of the apparatus when the agitator is rotated in one direction, and toward the inlet (24) when rotated in the opposite direction. By rotating the agitator slightly longer in the discharge direction than in the inlet direction the product is conveyed gradually and continuously toward the outlet. During the rotation of the agitator in each direction the product is tossed and mixed to promote even frying.

Abstract: The invention relates to a parametric encoder for encoding an audio or speech signal into sinusoidal code data. Such parametric encoders typically comprise a segmentation unit 120 for segmenting said signal s into at least one single scale segment xm(n) with m = 1 ... M and for outputting the samples xm(0), ...,xm(L-1) of said segment xm(n) and comprise a sinusoidal estimation unit 140 for estimating the sinusoidal code data representing said segment xm(n) from said samples. It is the object of the invention to improve a parametric encoder and method such that the achievement of a required time-frequency resolution trade-off is facilitated. This is achieved by embodying the segmentation unit 120 such that it carries out a frequency-warping operation in order to transform the output samples xm(0), ..., xm(L-1) onto a frequency-warp domain and by providing a post-processing filter 160 for re-mapping the sinusoidal code data output by the sinusoidal estimation unit 140 to the original frequency domain of the signal s.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for compensating critical dimension deviations across a photomask. In this method, a photomask is partitioned into a plurality of regions. A critical dimension is then measured for each of the regions in the photomask. Based on the measured critical dimensions, a deviation map is generated to map deviation of the critical dimension from a target dimension for each of the regions in the photomask. From the deviation map, an amount of actinic radiation needed to be attenuated to compensate for the critical dimension deviation from the target dimension is determined for each of the regions of the photomask. Based on the determined attenuation amount of actinic radiation, the transmission of the actinic radiation through each of the regions in the photomask is attenuated such that the critical dimension deviation is compensated to the target dimension for each of the regions in the photomask.
