Abstract: Apparatus for removing meat from the drumsticks of poultry, such as turkeys and chickens, utilises aligned, tandem cylinders (7, 14), the first (4) of which urges the second (7) along a guided path, the second carrying a centering cone pusher (20) thereon for receiving the meat end of the drumstick. Transversely moving gates (37, 38) engage the drumstick about the hock knuckle end and the centering cone pushes the hock knuckle end through and past the closed gates. The meat is formed into a gathered mass, the gates are withdraw, and the second cylinder is activated, causing a rod (14) to project axially through the meat mass and against the meat end of the bone, urging the bone through a guide passageway (31) and expelling it from the apparatus. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a peristaltic pump having a base (18), a rotor (14) supported on said base having a support structure (68) and a pluraltiy of rollers (22) mounted thereon. A pump head (17) providing an occlusion bed (16) is supported on said base so as to be movable by a turnshaft assembly (28) between an open position in which said occlusion bed is spaced from said rotor by a relatively large distance to enable loading and unloading of tubing, and a closed position in which said occlusion bed is spaced from said rotor by a relatively small distance to enable effectuation of peristaltic pumping in the tubing. The camshaft assembly includes a camshaft (30) having a cam (32) fixed thereto and an arm (34) extending outward from said camshaft to facilitate manual rotation thereof. Means on said base and pump head bed engage said camshaft and cam such that rotation of said camshaft effects displacement of said pump head between said open position and said closed position said means including adjustable bearing means (42) on the base for effecting fine adjustments in the position of the occlusion bed in the closed position so as to vary the occlusion of the tubing. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: An integrated circuit memory is disclosed which includes redundant columns associated with a sub-array, and in which multiple input/output terminals are placed in communication with multiple columns in the sub-array in read and write cycles. The number of redundant columns per sub-array is less than the number of input/output terminals. A multiplexer connects the selected redundant column to a selected sense amplifier and write circuit for the input/output with which the replaced column was associated. The multiplexer includes pass gates connected to the bit lines of the redundant column, and fuses connected between each of the pass gates and each of the sense/write circuits selectable for the redundant column. Those of the fuses which are not associated with the selected input/output are opened, and the fuses associated with the selected input/output are left intact. Precharge transistors are connected to the fuse sides of the pass gates, for precharging each of the floating nodes after the pass gates are turned off. This precharging negates the effect of any charge which may be trapped on the fuse side of the pass gates for those lines where the fuses are opened, so that the access time for the next cycle will not be degraded. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A supersonic bone conduction hearing aid that receives conventional audiometric frequencies and converts them to supersonic frequencies for connection to the human sensory system by vibration bone ocnduction. The hearing is believed to use channels of communications to the brain that are not normally used for hearing. These alternative channels do not deteriorate significantly with age as does the normal hearing channels. The supersonic bone conduction frequencies are discerned as frequencies in the audiometric range of frequencies.

Abstract: A ligand-mediated immunofunctional assay (LIFA) method for detecting the presence and the concentration of polypeptide hormone binding proteins which comprises capturing the binding protein with a solid phase bound first antibody, saturating the bound hormone binding protein with the ligand polypeptide hormone, and detecting the bound ligand polypeptide hormone with a detectably labeled second antibody specific for the ligand polypeptide hormone. In the absence of added saturating polypeptide hormone, the LIFA measures the amount of hormone binding protein bound to the endogenous ligand polypeptide hormone. A growth hormone binding protein assay illustrates the method of the present invention. LIFA assay results indicate that increased binding protein substantially increases growth hormone activity. Methods of use and formulations of growth hormone binding protein, growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor-I and insulin-like growth factor binding protein are disclosed.

Abstract: The object was to improve a method which establishes how a fuzzy controller evaluates a set of linguistic rules {R1, ..., RN} at run-time and thus determines the current value of its output variable. The premise of each rule is an AND-coupling of linguistic statements about the input variables of the controller, the conclusion a linguistic statement about the output variable. The method already known provides that   - in the first phase, for each of the rules, the conclusion is replaced by a counter value Zi, which is determined in that the membership function for the conclusion is "defuzzified", and   - in the second phase, for each sampling interval t   -- first, for i = 1,...,N, the current validity  omega i (t) of the rule Ri is determined, where  omega i (t) is calculated from the membership values of the current values of the input variables occurring in the premise of Ri to the membership functions which characterise the linguistic statements of the premise -- and then the current value zt of the output variable is determined according to the equation     <IMAGE>   The improvement according to the invention establishes which conditions the membership functions must satisfy for the linguistic statements about the input variables as well as the control number {R1, ..., RN}, in order that it is ensured that the divisor in the equation (1) is always 1. This avoids, at each sampling interval, a summation and a division as well as special handling for the case that the denominator in (1) is zero, and therefore the invention permits an efficient and economical realisation of the method. The conditions are that the linguistic batch of each input variable must form a fuzzy information system and that the control set is complete and consistent. Advantageous embodiments are the restriction to trapezoidal membership functions and, at each sampling interval, the pre-determination and intermediate storage of all membership values. <IMAGE>
