Abstract: A watering system for use in a greenhouse has a hose carrier that is supported entirely on a single track, the track having a rectangular cross-section.  The hose carrier is connected by a cable that winds through a series of pulleys to a drive system so that the carrier moves at one-half the speed of the drive system as the drive system moves along the track in either direction.  The water supply and electrical supply are connected at the approximate mid-point of the track and the hose carrier distributes the hose and electrical conductor among support brackets located along the track so that neither the hose nor the conductor become tangled. The tension on the hose and conductor is minimal as each support bracket has rollers thereon and the hose and/or conductor are not used to apply force to the hose carrier to move it along the track.  The support brackets on one half of the track can be much smaller than the support brackets on the other half of the track as the hose carrier travels on one-half of the track only.  Previous systems have used double tracks, which are more complex and more expensive.  Also, it is much more difficult to move a watering system from one track to another track when the track is double than it is when the track is single.

Title: Analyzing an image or other data to obtain a stable number of groups
Inventor: MAHONEY JAMES V
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 1994-10-14
Granted: 1999-10-05
Abstract: To group items in an array, gap data are obtained indicating gaps between items. The gap data are used to obtain threshold data, which are then used to obtain grouping data. The gaps could, for example, be distances between items in a two-dimensional array or differences between values at which items occur in a one-dimensional array. The threshold data indicate a threshold. The threshold would produce a number of groups of the items that is stable across a range of thresholds, and the range of thresholds meets a criterion for largeness of a range. The criterion can require, for example, that the range be larger than the stable range of thresholds of any other number in a set of numbers of groups. The threshold can be obtained iteratively by applying a candidate threshold for each iteration. The candidate thresholds can be incremented, and the iterations can be counted to find a number of groups meeting the criterion. Or the candidate thresholds can be increased by differences between gaps, and a running sum of threshold ranges can be used to find a number of groups meeting the criterion. The threshold can also be obtained directly by finding the largest difference between gap extents and obtaining a threshold within the largest difference. Many types of grouping can be performed, including spatial clustering, segmentation of partially bounded regions, segmentation by local width, and global and local similarity grouping.

Abstract: The present device relates to an improvement on a vertically-aligned juicer having a grinding chamber and a compression chamber.      The vertically-aligned juicer does not require the use of a juice-squeezing screen, its structure is simple, and it allows efficient driving and squeezing of juice, but due to its structural characteristics, its length must be extended, resulting in problems In the present device, as the direction of movement of the material through the compression chamber is designed so as to be opposite to that of the grinding chamber, the material follows a U-shaped path, thus solving the structural problems of conventional juicers connected with grinding and squeezing of the juice (Fig. 3).

Granted: 2000-10-31
Abstract: An auxiliary drive (4), for example of a golf caddie, has a boosting effect when the driving power requirements are high and has a regenerative effect when the driving power requirements are low, in particular negative. The auxiliary drive (4) is provided with a measurement device (9) for the primary driving power and with a control (7) that increases or diminishes the generated torque by reducing or increasing the regenerative braking torque when a predetermined primary driving force is exceeded or not reached, thus resetting the predetermined primary driving force. The invention is thus based on a basic load that may be supplied by the user himself, and which may be comfortably measured, and spares the user further efforts. As on the other hand energy is saved, in comparison with a full power drive, a lighter battery is sufficient. The battery may be even lighter as the energy that is used when driving uphill is recovered when driving downhill, apart from the efficiency-determined loss. In addition, the battery is always loaded to a certain extent when driving on a flat road, as long as irregularities of the soil do not consume the predetermined primary driving force. The control is besides automated and does not require to be actuated.

Granted: 1999-04-27
Abstract: A advance cure paint spray booth in which a high volume flow of air is directed over the surfaces of a freshly painted workpiece such as an automobile to accelerate drying. A squirrel cage blower or other high volume blower directs a flow of spray booth air through a plurality of nozzles to flow over the surfaces of the workpiece.  The nozzles are individually aimed at surface areas on the workpiece by placing a handle of a directional light source in a nozzle air passage and manipulating the handle to simultaneously direct the light beam and the nozzle at the surface area to be dried. A plurality of nozzles, an air handling manifold and a blower may be formed into a module which is easily retrofitted to existing paint spray booths. When a plurality of modules are mounted in a spray booth, the modules may be independently controlled for increasing air flow only on an a painted area of a workpiece.

Granted: 1998-09-22
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for automatically establishing a conference call to a preselected list of prospective participants (12,14,16 and 18) to the conference call.  A subscriber to the conference calling service predefines one or more lists of participants, each list being associated with a different conference call. When the subscriber wishes to initiate a conference call, the subscriber accesses the network (10) and requests that the call be set up. The network originates (e.g., dials) calls to each of the participants on a specified list. The network then bridges these individual calls to establish the conference call. The cost of the conference call can be billed to the subscriber or shared among the participants to the call.

Title: Process for solubilizing gluten that normally is capable of absorbing water without dissolution
Inventor: CHAUNDY FREDERICK K
IPC: A23J3/18
Filed: 1996-01-19
Granted: 2001-07-03
Abstract: An improved technique is provided that is capable of accomplishing the expeditious dissolution of gluten (e.g., vital wheat gluten or corn gluten) in water that normally is capable of absorbing water without dissolution. An effective solubilizing concentration of pectin (e.g., low methoxyl pectin) is dissolved in the aqueous solvent when contacted with agitation with the gluten component at an elevated temperature. The formation of a substantially homogeneous aqueous solution of the gluten is accomplished with ease without the necessity to resort to the introduction of acids, bases, enzymes, or other solvents as practiced in the prior art. The resulting aqueous solution of gluten is completely edible and is suitable for the controlled uniform introduction of such gluten into association with a variety of food products where it can serve a binding, adhesive, microencapsulation, film-forming, and/or coating function.

Abstract: The invention provides a unique and novel vessel and process that concentrate solids, produces paste and stores paste from mixtures of solids and liquids. The vessel or tank includes a vertical shaft mounted within the tank and a means for rotating the shaft for circulating paste. The shaft includes a meansfor lifting the paste and a rake arm extending outwardly from a lower portion ofthe shaft for moving the paste radially inward. A vertical flow director within the tank is connected to the shaft for maintaining paste flow and facilitating pastecirculation at outer portions of the tank. A paste exit port through a lower portion of the tank is used for removing paste. The method of the invention forms a paste by first introducing a mixture of solids and liquids into a tank. A portion of the solids and liquids are lifted vertically to establish a circulation pattern within the tank. The circulation of the mixture of solids and liquids ismaintained within outer portions of the tank with at least one flow director. The mixture of solids and liquids is then circulated at a controlled rate to form paste.
