Abstract: A container for magnetic recording cassettes is described, having a combination of viewing windows and a pocket for notes on the recording, which combination is connected captively to the sleeve. In this arrangement, at least the inner and outer layer of an end wall contain overlapping recesses for forming a window cutout, between which there is a transparent film (3) which is bent or laid double over a fold line (2) parallel to a longitudinal edge and is stuck into place at three edges between inner layer (6) and outer layer (4) of the container. In addition, the pocket (7) has a notch (10) through both film faces as a recessed grip on its open side (5) (Figure 3). <IMAGE>

IPC: A23L5/10

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for the preparation of what is commonly known as "fast foods" such as french fried potatoes. These foods are generally cooked in a vat of heated oil and, as a result of such preparation, include a high concentration of polyun­saturates and cholesterol in levels which may be detrimental to the health of the consumer over long periods of time. The method of the present invention pre-cooks food in a non-fat environment such as a microwave oven. Thereafter, the food is transported by a conveyor system through dif­ferent cooking stations, at least one of which sprays the pre-cooked food with closely monitored quantities and concentrations of heated oil. The sprayed oil may be mixed with water or air and sprayed under pressure at elevated temperatures. In this manner, the prepared food has the appearance, taste and texture as though it were cooked in the traditional way, but is not saturated with oil as it would be if it were immersed in a heated vat. In other aspects of the invention, the conveyor system may provide an   oscillating or lateral movement to the food that it is transporting to uniformly distribute the sprayed oil over the surface of the food, and to shake excess oil from the food. The conveyor system includes a wire mesh food support so that the sprayed oil may penetrate the under surface of the food and any excess sprayed oil may drip from the conveyor system to avoid over-saturation of the sprayed food.

Abstract: In an optical device (10) containing material (12) which is dielectric, in which the device (10) is switchable between an inactive, relatively opaque state and an activated, relatively transparent state in response to the application of a driving electric field (V d ) of sufficiently low frequency, a problem may arise in that the switching time between the inactive-opaque state and the activated-transparent state is increased and/or the light tranmissivity in the activated-transparent state is decreased when the device (10) is at a relatively low temperature. This problem is alleviated by applying a heating electric field (V h ) of sufficiently high frequency as to heat the dielectric material (12) whilst not switching the device (10) to the activated-transparent state, thereby raising the temperature of the device (10) to decrease the switching time between the inactive-opaque state and the activated-transparent state and/or to increase the light transmissivity in the activated-transparent state. The dielectric material (12) may be a polymer film containing dispersed liquid crystal droplets.

Abstract: Arranged in a row along a flexible support constructed as a spring strip are retaining elements (1), arranged at right angles thereto, each of which has a base (11), connected to the spring strip, and two flanges (12) projecting therefrom at its ends. Each retaining element (1) has two slots (15, 16), mutually at right angles, in conjunction with its base (11). For a flexible cable duct, there is a spring strip in only one of the slots (15, 16); this provides the capability to bend the cable duct either only upwards and downwards or only to the left or right. The cable duct is stiff in the other direction in each case. In consequence, it is sufficiently stable. It is possible to change from the one type of flexibility to the other by inserting the spring strip in sections into one slot or the other. Quite inflexible, stiff, straight sections can be produced if spring strips are inserted into both slots. It is thus possible in a very simple way to construct three differently flexible cable ducts, which are suitable in particular for cabling of furnishings, from only two different components (spring strip and retaining element). In addition to economy, this also results in versatility as well as stability. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A large number of processing elements (604) (e.g. 4096) are interconnected by means of a high bandwidth switch (606). Each processing element (604) includes one or more general purpose microprocessors (1202), a local memory (1210) and a DMA controller (1206) that sends and receives messages through the switch (606) without requiring processor intervention. The switch (606) that connects the processing elements is hierarchical and comprises a network of clusters. Sixtyfour processing elements (604) can be combined to form a cluster and and sixtyfour clusters can be linked by way of a Banyan network. Messages are routed through the switch (606) in the form of packets which include a command field, a sequence number, a destination address, a source address, a data field (which can include subcommands), and an error correction code. Error correction is performed at the processing elements. If a packet is routed to a non-present or non-functional processor, the switch (606) reverses the source and destination field and returns the packet to the sender with an error flag. If the packet is misrouted to a functional processing element (604), the processing element (604) corrects the error and retransmits the packet through the switch (606) over a different path. In one embodiment, each processing element can be provided with a hardware accelerator for database functions. In this embodiment, the multiprocessor of the present invention can be employed as a coprocessor to a 370 host and used to perform database functions.

Abstract: A frequency setting system for a radio transmission apparatus of the type transmitting a signal in the form of bursts and changing transmission frequency burst by burst. A frequency division data generator (30) feeds both a frequency division data signal representative of a frequency division number and a strobe signal representative of frequency setting to a frequency synchesizer (20). A strobe pulse is fed to the frequency synthesizer immediately after the end of the preceding burst. The frequency division data signal for the next burst can then be sent at any time in the period between that strobe pulse and the end of the burst to which it relates. The timings for generating the frequency division data signal and strobe signal do not need to be determined with regard to the locking time of the frequency synthesizer which is dependent on the kind of the synthesizer, and the frequency, etc.

Abstract: An electric inspection unit comprising many inspection electrodes and an anisotropically electro­conductive sheet which is placed so as to be present between the electrodes and a base board to be inserted into the unit when the base board is electrically inspected, characterized in that the anisotropically electroconductive sheet has a plurality of electrocon­ductive portions extending in the direction of thickness of the sheet, which portions are arranged so as to be insulated from one another by insulating portions consisting of an insulating, elastic, high-molecular-­weight substance, each of the electroconductive portions being formed in a portion projecting from the surface of the insulating portion by filling the insulating portion densely with electroconductive particles. The above anisotropically electroconductive sheet is produced by forming a layer of a molding material consisting of a mixture of electroconductive particles having magnetism and a high-molecular-weight substance in the cavity of a mold consisting of a pair of upper and lower molds, the molding surface of each of which is flat or has much smaller convexes or concaves than the height of the projection portions of the anisotropically electrocon­ductive sheet to be produced, applying a magnetic field having an intensity distribution to the molding material layer in the direction of thickness of the layer in the state that a space is present between the molding surface   of the upper mold and the upper surface of the molding material layer, to fluidize the molding material while transferring the electroconductive particles by magnetic force, thereby changing the exterior shape of the molding material layer and then curing the molding material layer.
