Title: Apparatus and method for aseptically reconstituting beverages
Inventor: HEATH HAROLD R
IPC: A23L2/42
Filed: 1992-03-18
Granted: 2002-12-24
Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for reconstituting beverages wherein superheated reconstituting liquid and beverage concentrate are delivered into a mixing chamber having an adjustable volume, The mixing chamber is the volume (42) between two coaxially arranged tapered elements (43, 44) which are disposed one inside of the other. Final beverage product emanates from an aperture (48) in the tip of the ou-ter tapered element. At least one tapered element can be displaced in the longitudinal direction so that the volume of the mixing chamber decreases and approaches zero as the tapered elements are moved closer together. Thus, when the system is shut down the volume of the mixing chamber is allowed to approach zero so that very little product is susceptible to degradation in the mixing chamber due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures during a shutdown. The reduced volume mixing chamber may be flushed with reconstituting liquid. In addition, the temperature of the mixing chamber can be controlled during a shutdown by adjusting the temperature of water contained within the walls of the tapered elements.

Abstract: Insulation displacing connectors (24) of an "inverted" type extend upwardly from a base (14) of the terminal block (12) into connector chambers (66) of driver modules (50) movable relative to the base (14) between upper and lower positions. Passageways (70) within the modules (50) direct service wires (46) moved through the passageways (70) into the connec-tor chambers (66) and into entrance openings (30) un-derlying upper edge portions (28) of the insulation displacing connectors (24) within the chambers (66).   Movement of the module (50) from its upper position to its lower position drives the service wires (46) downwardly from the entrance openings (30) of the connectors (24) into and through slots (32) underlying the entrance openings (30), to establish electrical con-tact with the service wires (46) and the connectors (24) and, in the case of larger diameter wires, to im-pale the service wires upon impaling elements (34) re-sisting pullout of the wires. Downward movement of a module (50) also establishes conductive engagement between the connectors (24) and tip and ring conduc-tors (76) of an overvoltage limiting element (74). Sea-lant pump chambers (88) within the modules (50) and cooperating sealant pump elements (92) upon the base (14) of the terminal block (12) introduce reserve sealant material (84) into the modules (50) upon movement of the modules (50) from an upper position to a lower position, to eliminate or at least reduce the size of voids in the sealant material (84). A test clip surface (98) upon the module (50) inclines a test clip (94) attached thereto away from an adjacent clip (94). The modules (50) are driven from their upper positions to their lower positions by thread-form-ing fasteners (58).

Title: Data processing system
Inventor: SPRAGUE DAVID LEROY
IPC: G06T1/20
Filed: 1992-10-22
Granted: 2000-08-29
Abstract: Single-instruction multiple-data is a new class of integrated video signal processors especially suited for real-time processing of two-dimensional images. The single-instruction, multiple-data architecture is adopted to exploit the high degree of parallelism inherent in many video signal processing algorithms. Features have been added to the architecture which support conditional execution and sequencing - an inherent limitation of traditional single-instruction multiple-data machines. A separate transfer engine offloads transaction processing from the execution core, allowing balancing of input/output and compute resources - a critical factor in optimizing performance for video processing. These features, coupled with a scalable architecture allow a united programming model and application driven performance.

Title: End-fitting for pipe connection
Inventor: PETERSEN HORST UDO
IPC: F16L37/088
Filed: 1994-06-27
Granted: 1997-03-04
Abstract: For use in push-in-and-snap pipe connectors, the region of the pipe behind the integral end-flange is raised in diameter. If the pipe is properly inserted, the raised region is concealed inside the body of the fitting; but if the pipe is not pushed fully home into the body, the raised region is visible, and serves to alert the production-line inspector that the joint is not sealed. A snap-in sping clip holds the pipe in the body, and the clip rests against the raised protion to minimise the chance of vibration noise. The flange and raised region are formed in the pipe by axial-press punches and dies.

Title: Telephone network voice recognition and verification using selectively-adjustable signal thresholds
Inventor: HUNT ALAN K
IPC: G10L17/00
Filed: 1993-11-24
Granted: 2000-07-25
Abstract: A method for enabling a caller to obtain access to one or more services via a telephone network by speaking a password begins by establishing at least one predetermined threshold value for a speaker verification signal. For each spoken character of the password, the method generates a set of parameters using a voice verification feature transformation. After entry and recognition of the password, the sets of parameters are used to generate a speaker verification signal for the password (step 78). Upon the occurence of a predetermined call condition, the predetermined threshold value is adjusted to increase the level of security in the verification algorithm. If the speaker verification signal for the password has a predetermined relationship with respect to the adjusted threshold value (84), the caller's identity is accepted (88). If not, the caller may be asked (90) to answer certain personnel questions before his or her identity is accepted.
