Abstract: The invention relates to a photo sensitive electronic component based on amorphous silicon and its alloys, comprising two, in respect to each other antiserially arranged, p-i-n or n-i-p or Schottky-contact structures, in which in each case the active layers are arranged in the normal way in the direction of light incidence, whereby in the area of the first structure in the direction of light incidence, the charge carriers generated by blue light are collected for a first (V1) voltage; and in the area of the second structure in the direction of light incidence, the charge carriers generated by red or green light are collected for a second (V2) or a third (V3) voltage, and whereby at least one of the two intrinsically conducting layers is constructed from two partial layers. The object of creating better spectral selectivity is achieved in that in the partial layer (I) which is in front in the direction of light incidence, a higher product from charge carrier mobility and life-time (.mu.-tau product); and in the partial layer (II) which is at the rear in the direction of light incidence, a lower product from charge carrier mobility and life-time (.mu.-tau product) is present, in such a way that the two partial layers (I, II) in the presence of an electrical field, have different collection lengths for the charge carriers so that in the partial layer (I) which is in front in the direction of light incidence, increasingly green light, and in the partial layer (II) which is at the rear in the direction of light incidence, increasingly red light is absorbed.

Abstract: Milk chocolate may be prepared from a chocolate crumb, or other milk and sugar precursor component, by which the required amount of dried milk solids are provided for subsequent processing, together with at least some sugar. Later, the additional constituents for milk chocolate including remaining sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa liquor if the milk chocolate is not white milk chocolate, and so on, will be added and processed. In any event, a distinctive feature of milk chocolate is that it requires a caramel-like flavor ingredient to be brought into the milk chocolate formulation by the sugar constituent thereof. However, rather than relying on heating processes whereby sugar will be at least partially caramelized, a caramel-like flavor may be brought into the sugar formulation using molasses, particularly molasses derived from sugarcane. Moreover, since molasses is the ingredient which provides a caramellike flavor to brown sugar, and brown sugar itself comprises an intimate mixture of fine sugar crystals and molasses, where the molasses coats the fine sugar crystals, then brown sugar may be employed as well as to provide the caramel-like flavor ingredient to be carried into the milk chocolate formulation. The molasses or brown sugar is hydrated with milk, dried, and further processed by addition of the balance of sugar, fats, cocoa butter, and cocoa liquor if used; and the product is then set aside for subsequent pasting and conching operations which are typically used in the production of milk chocolate.

Title: Method and apparatus for mobile unit assisted cdma to alternative system hard handoff
Inventor: GILHOUSEN KLEIN S
IPC: H04W36/14
Filed: 1996-03-19
Granted: 2004-07-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a reliable means to perform handoff from a code division multiple access (CDMA) system using a pilot signal to an alternative access technique system. Simple pilot box circuitry (350) is added to a set of border base stations (C2 A - C2 R). The border base stations (C2 A - C2 R) are base stations which operate only in the alternative access technique and which have coverage areas which are contiguous with coverage areas of CDMA operation base stations. The mobile unit monitors for the pilot signal from the border base stations (C2 A - C2 R) in the same manner as it monitors for pilot signals from the CDMA operation base stations (ClA - Cl g). When the mobile unit detects the pilot signal corresponding to a border base station (C2 A - C2 R), it notifies a system controller (202) in accordance with standard operation. The system controller (202) is aware that the pilot signal corresponds to a border base station (C2 A - C2 R) and thus triggers a hard handoff process to the alternative access technique system in response thereto.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to control frequency deviation of a portable transceiver (PT) (122) utilizing a time-division-duplex (TDD) protocol for communicating with a base transceiver (116). The base transceiver (116) transmits (708) a first signal having first deviation levels (706). The PT (122) receives (802) the first signal, measures (808, 810, 824) it to derive estimates of the first deviation levels, and stores (826) the estimates in a memory (322). The PT (122) generates (828) a second signal having second deviation levels (830) controlled by control signal values (323), samples (832) the second signal to derive a second received signal, and appraises (902) the second received signal to derive estimates of the second deviation levels (830). The PT (122) compares (906) corresponding estimates of the first and second frequency deviation levels (830) to derive adjusted control signal values (908) for controlling the second deviation levels (830) to approximate the first deviation levels (706), and thereafter controls (914) the second deviation levels (830) in accordance with the adjusted control signal values (908).

Title: Propane recovery process
Inventor: SORENSEN JAMES N
IPC: C07C7/00
Filed: 1996-11-01
Granted: 2001-08-21
Abstract: Increased recovery of propane, butane and other heavier components found in a natural gas stream is achieved by installing an absorber upstream from an expander and a separator. The separator is downstream from the expander and returns the liquid stream generated by the separator back to the absorber. Additionally, the recovery of propane, butane and other heavier components i s enhanced by combining the upper gas stream from a distillation column with t he upper gas stream from the absorber prior to injecting this combination into the separator. The upper gas stream removed from the separator is then subsequently processed for the recovery of a predominantely methane and etha ne gas stream while the bottom liquid stream from the absorber is subsequently distilled for the generation of a stream consisting predominantely of propan e, butane and other heavy hydrocarbon components. Alternate embodiments include  an additional reflux separator in the system, or substitution of an addition al absorber for the separator.

Title: Spring loaded bushed wedgelock
Inventor: MORRISON JAMES L
IPC: F16B19/10
Filed: 1999-03-05
Granted: 2002-08-20
Abstract: The wedgelock of the present invention prevents the separation of structural members during drilling or other fabrication operations on structural assemblies with curved surfaces or thickness variations and precludes the formation of burrs and delaminations which might result from such separation. The wedgelock also permits more precise and repeatable hole and other feature fabrication by more precisely locating an alignment fixture, such as a drill plate, relative to a structural assembly upon which fabrication operations are to be performed. The bushed spring loaded wedgelock comprises a standard, commercially-available wedgelock modified by attaching a bushing within which a spring loaded spacer is telescopically mounted. Like a standard wedgelock, the bushed spring loaded wedgelock is inserted through collinear holes in a drill plate or other alignment fixture and a structural assembly to clamp the assembly to the fixture. Even when used with a structural assembly with curved surfaces or thickness variations, the bushed spring loaded wedgelock clamps structural members together by forcing a spring loaded spacer against the front surface of the structural assembly while the shoulders of the wedgelock arms engage the rear surface of the structural assembly. A variety of wedgelock sizes and designs can be constructed to accommodate a range of alignment fixture, tooling hole and structural assembly geometries.
