Title: Shrimp-shaped food product
IPC: A23L17/00
Filed: 1989-09-08
Abstract: A shrimp-shaped processed food product is 
produced in a two-piece split mold (1) having a cavity 
(2) in the shape of the shelled meat of the torso of a 
shrimp and a substantially flat surface (1′) around 
the cavity (2), and a cover mold (6). The split mold 
has a protrusion (5) including a flat surface (5′) on 
substantially the same plane as the flat surface (1′), 
the flat surface (5′) being above the cavity at the 
neck side of the shrimp torso. The two halves (1a, 
1b) of the two-piece split mold form an approximately 
circular raw material inlet (4), a curved opening (3) 
being formed separately from the raw material inlet, 
and the cover mold (6) having a curved surface (7) 
capable of sealing off the curved opening. The cover 
mold (6) suitably includes an arcuate protrusion which 
is adjacent the curved opening for forming a groove in 
a short portion only of the back of the shrimp torso.

IPC: B65H5/06
Filed: 1989-11-15
Abstract: A document feed mechanism includes a feed 
wheel (12) and a cooperating idler wheel (14) which is 
movable between active and inactive positions. The 
idler wheel (14) is rotatably mounted on one end (88-­
3) of an arm (88) which passes through an elongated 
slot formed in support means (42,86) for a document 
track (28), the slot extending perpendicularly to the 
document track (28) and a pivot portion (88-1) of the 
arm (88) being slidably movable along the slot. A 
compression spring (74) biases the idler wheel (14) 
towards its inactive position with the arm (88) 
pivoting about a region of contact between the pivot 
portion (88-1) of the arm (88) and a closed end of the 
slot. A solenoid (60), when energized, moves the 
idler wheel (14) towards its active position against 
the bias of the compression spring (74), with the arm 
(88) pivoting about said region of contact. Documents 
of different thicknesses can be handled by the 
mechanism by virtue of the arm (88) being slidable 
along the slot.

Title: Production management system
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 1990-02-26
Abstract: A production management system for optimizing the 
operation of each station in a production line by the 
use of an expert system including a knowledge data base 
for generating an optimum production command for each 
of the stations. The expert system is equipped with a 
simulator for simulating and evaluating a future 
operating condition of the production line for each 
possible course of action and obtaining optimum 
production command data under each given circumstance. 
Thus, it can carry out a highly efficient and adaptive 
production management under any circumstance because 
the simulator can offer an optimum production command 
data even when the knowledge data base is unable to 
arrive at an optimum solution. Therefore, the 
knowledge data of the expert system is not required to 
cover every possible circumstance, and is therefore not 
required to have a large storage capacity to ensure the 
adaptability of the system.

Title: Improved method and apparatus for forming nonwoven fiber webs
IPC: D04H1/70
Filed: 1990-04-30
Abstract: A web or mat producing unit including a fiber opening and doffing mechanism (52) mounted on a vertically adjustable platform (11) to direct fibers randomly downwardly through an opening (28) in the platform and onto the horizontal upper run of an endless screen (15), which travels in one direction over a vacuum or suction opening (24) positioned beneath and parallel to the upper run. Two, spaced side curtains or panels (31, 32), which are suspended from the underside of the platform, guide fibers into a predetermined space located between opposite sides of the upper run of the screen, thereby to form the fibers into a shingle-free nonwoven mat which may, if desired, be fed successively onto the upper run of the screen in the next successive unit in a series thereof. The width and configuration of the mat can be changed by adjusting the panels toward and away from each other, and by placing a removable template (26) or baffle (75) over the suction opening.
Patent EP-0397294-A3 (EP)
IPC: H01H33/666
Filed: 1990-05-03
Abstract: The drive mechanism of a vacuum interrupter (1) has a two-armed lever (7), supported such that it can pivot, and a spring (11) which engages on the lever and provides the contact force. The two-armed lever (7) is guided in its bearing (oblong hole 9, pivot pin 8) such that it can move in a limited manner in a direction running approximately parallel to the direction of operation of the interrupter (1). On switching on, the two-armed lever (7), with its pivot pin (8), pivots about the end of the pin guide until the switching pieces (3, 5) make contact. Further pivoting of the lever (7) takes place about a hinge arrangement (6) between the two-armed lever (7) and the drive ram (4). The two-armed lever (7) can be formed from two parallel partial levers (20) at such a spacing that the spring (11) can engage between the partial levers. The drive mechanism is suitable for single or multipin vacuum power circuit breakers, for example for use in gas-insulated switching installations.

"door-open" signal, generated, for example, by a passenger pressing a push 
button (5) on the door (3), may be transmitted via the magnetic flux link 
to a door opening mechanism (6,7) mounted on the vehicle body (2).

Title: Motion dependent video signal processing
IPC: H04N7/01
Filed: 1990-04-11
Abstract: In, for example, a motion compensated video standards converter 
wherein blocks in a first field or frame of a video signal 
are each compared with a plurality of blocks in the following field or 
frame of the video signal for deriving motion vectors representing the 
motion of the content of respective blocks between the first field or 
frame and the following field or frame, further motion vectors are 
selected (20, 27, 30) for assignment to those of the blocks for which 
less than a predetermined plurality of good motion vectors are derived 
as a result of the comparison, by ranking all the good, non-stationary 
motion vectors derived for the field or frame in order of frequency of 
occurrence, and selecting those motion vectors which occur most 
frequently, unless they fall within a predetermined window of pixel 
motion of a motion vector already selected.

Title: Apparatus and method for disambiguating an input stream generated by a stylus-based user interface
Inventor: ANDERSON WILLIAM JOSEPH
IPC: G06F3/0488
Filed: 1993-03-12
Abstract: An apparatus and method in a tablet computer for disambiguating a handwriting input stream generated by a stylus-based user interface. A tablet application program interface (TAPI) of the present invention receives stroke data generated by a stroke made by a user on a digitizing tablet. The TAPI inserts the stroke data into a database. If the stroke is an editing gesture, the TAPI routes the stroke to a gesture recognizer which identifies an editing dialog. The TAPI then executes the dialog to perform operations on the database. If the application program is expecting text input, the TAPI continues to receive stroke data until it detects a closure event. The TAPI then forms a stroke group entry in the database by grouping all non-gesture stroke data received since the last closure event. The TAPI routes the stroke group data to a character recognizer, which returns candidate characters. The TAPI inserts the candidate characters into the stroke group entry. The TAPI notifies the application program each time it updates the database. <IMAGE>
