Abstract: A slicing machine including a slicing blade for slicing at least first and second product loaves disposed in a side-by-side arrangement using a single rotation of the slicing blade is set forth. A single rotation of the slicing edge about the center of rotation results in a penetration gradient into each of the first and second product loaves that diminishes in magnitude over the single rotation. To this end, the slicing edge may have a profile defined a plurality of constant radius sections. Each constant radius section has a section center defining the center of the constant radius for that constant radius section. Further, each constant radius section has a section center differing from the section center of an adjacent constant radius section. Such a blade and its associated slicing station provide great control of slices from the loaves as they proceed from the loaf to a receiving conveyor of the slicing station.

Abstract: The present invention provides an axially-rotated valve which permits increased flow rates and lower pressure drop (characterized by a lower loss coefficient) by using an axial eccentric split venturi with two portions where at least one portion is rotatable with respect to the other portion. The axially-rotated valve typically may be designed to avoid flow separation and/or cavitation at full flow under a variety of conditions. Similarly, the valve is designed, in some embodiments, to produce streamlined flow within the valve. An axially aligned outlet may also increase the flow efficiency. A typical cross section of the eccentric split venturi may be non-axisymmetric such as a semicircular cross section which may assist in both throttling capabilities and in maximum flow capacity using the design of the present invention. Such a design can include applications for freeze resistant axially-rotated valves and may be fully-opened and fully-closed in one-half of a complete rotation. An internal wide radius elbow typically connected to a rotatable portion of the eccentric venturi may assist in directing flow with lower friction losses. A valve actuator may actuate in an axial manner yet be uniquely located outside of the axial flow path to further reduce friction losses. A seal may be used between the two portions that may include a peripheral and diametrical seal in the same plane. A seal separator may increase the useful life of the seal between the fixed and rotatable portions.

Abstract: A pattern recognition device having modifiable feature detectors (28) which respond to a transduced input signal (26) and communicate a feature activity signal (30) to allow classification and an appropriate output action (70). A memory (40) stores a set of comparison patterns, and is used by an assigner (66) to find likely features, or parts, in the current input signal (26). Each part is assigned to a feature detector (28[m]) judged to be responsible for it. An updater (42) modifies each responsible feature detector (28[m]) so as to make its preferred feature more similar to its assigned part. The modification embodies a strong constraint on the feature learning process, in particular an assumption that the ideal features for describing the pattern domain occur independently. This constraint allows improved learning speed and potentially improved scaling properties. A first preferred embodiment uses a group of noisy-OR type neural networks (50) to implement the feature detectors (28) and memory (40), and to obtain the parts by a soft segmentation of the current input signal (26). A second preferred embodiment maintains a lossless memory (40) separate from the feature detectors (28), and the parts consist of differences between the current input signal (26) and comparison patterns stored in the memory (40).

Abstract: The present invention provides an olefin-based block copolymer that has an olefin block that is substantially saturated and at least one (poly)ester or (poly)ether block. The olefin-based block copolymer of the invention can be prepared by reacting a liquid hydroxyl-functional, saturated or substantially saturated olefin polymer with a chain-extension reagent that is reactive with hydroxyl groups and will polymerize in a head-to-tail arrangement of monomer units. The olefin-based block copolymer of the invention can be used to prepare an adhesion promoter that provides excellent adhesion of subsequent coating layers to olefinic substrates like TPO and superior properties as compared to previously used adhesion promoters containing chlorinated polyolefins. Alternatively, the olefin-based copolymers of the invention can be used as an additive in a curable coating composition to provide excellent adhesion to olefinic substrates like TPO, even when used in very minor amounts compared to the amounts required for previously known agents.
