Abstract: A steam peeling system has a rotatable pressure vessel (1) for steam treating and peeling product. The vessel is substantially spherical, having an oblong configuration with opposed flattened side surfaces. The pressure vessel has at least one internal lifter (51a, 51b, 51c) for entraining and lifting the product relative to the axis of rotation of the pressure vessel (1) when it is rotated. The pressure vessel also at least one internal region (53) that is closed-off against ingress of steam during product treatment. This region (53) defines a steam saver. The system can include a batcher for delivering the product to be peeled to the vessel. The pressure in the vessel can be released on completion of a peeling operation. Arrangements can be included to minimize release of entrained solid matter or odors in the exhaust steam. A controller minimizes unproductive displacement of the pressure vessel and can control the rotation speed and direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a preliminary tariff information system for telecommunication connections, whereby the user can request preliminary tariff information for the current telecommunication connection and receive tariff information in the form of electronic data, speech or acoustic signals, after inputting the connection destination and before establishing the connection. The advantage of one such system is that the user receives concrete information about the tariff of the connection before establishing said telecommunication connection, and can therefore decide whether to continue with the connection to the chosen number. The user does not need to make extensive inquiries about the tariffs and can be sure that he/she will only be given the current tariffs cited for the relevant telecommunication connection.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for the drying of damp products, in particular, pasta. According to the invention, the product to be dried in a dryer, is placed in an inner chamber and humid warm air is circulated around the product, in order to ensure a gentle drying thereof. Dry hot air flows in an outer chamber, enclosing the inner chamber, which prevents condensation of water forming in the outer chamber. The inner shell has essentially no heat insulation as the external shell has a conventional heat insulation from the outside air. The dryer construction with a double shell prevents damp from entering the insulation material of the insulating layer through the inner shell and thus forming heat bridges, despite incomplete sealing of the inner chamber.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for measuring color, luster and undulations on lacquered freeform surfaces at a predetermined target distance and symmetrically in relation to the measuring point normal lines at a measuring point. Said device is characterized by the provision of a measuring head that can be displaced in three dimensions by at least one motor and that comprises a measuring-head axis, a light emitter and a video camera. The light emitter is provided with a planar light pattern that is to be emitted along its illumination axis. An evaluation unit is provided for the light pattern (reproduction pattern) of the light emitter that is reproduced in the video camera, said evaluation unit emitting a control signal which is dependent on and formed from the distortion produced or the migration of the reproduction pattern. The measuring head is provided with a motor control, to whose input the control signal of the evaluation unit is applied and the measuring head is displaced in order to reduce the distortion or the migration of the reproduction pattern in the video camera to below a predetermined value, in such a way that both the measuring head axis coincides with the measuring point normal lines and the vertex of the angle formed by the illumination axis of the light emitter and the optical axis of the video camera coincides with the measuring point.

Abstract: The control circuit provides an improved method for power factor correction characteristics and low Electro Magnetic noise. This control circuit uses an Electro Magnetic Interference abatement circuit that consists of a series connected diode in one of the DC input lines from the full wave rectifier and a capacitor connected across the DC input lines from the full wave rectifier to eliminate the Electro Magnetic Interference generated by the active power factor corrections and resonant circuit operations. This is accomplished in part by the operation of the series connected diode which blocks reverse currents, thereby preventing high frequency current present in the gas discharge control circuit from flowing back to the AC input line through the full wave rectifier. In addition, the use of the capacitor across the DC input line helps to absorb high frequency current that is present on the input lines from the full wave rectifier. The cost of these two elements is small compared to the use of an inductor, yet their synergistic effect on the input lines provides a significant abatement of the Electro Magnetic Interference generated by the active power factor corrections in conjunction with resonant circuit operations for such devices as gas discharge lamp ballasts and power supplies.

Abstract: A method and circuitry for pre-emphasizing transmitted logic signals. The method and circuitry may be applied to single-ended center-taped terminated I/O lines. In one embodiment, a driver circuit may be configured for monitoring the logic values (i.e. logic 0, logic 1, or logic low, logic high) of signals transmitted by the driver circuit. The driver circuit may compare the logic value of a next logic signal to be transmitted with a first previously transmitted signal and a second previously transmitted signal. Pre-emphasis of the next logic signal may occur based on the logic value of the next logic signal to be transmitted as well as the logic values of the first and second logic signals. If the first and second logic signals have the same logic value, and the next logic signal has a different value, the next logic value may be pre-emphasized. If the next logic signal has a logic value that is equivalent to either the first logic signal or the second logic signal, it may be transmitted without pre-emphasis.
