Abstract: The present invention relates to planning of a trajectory for minimum threat exposure in a
given geographical region. A trajectory is planned from a start node to a final node in a
digital representation of the geographical region. The threat exposure for a vehicle moving
along the trajectory is determined. Navigation performance of the vehicle along the
trajectory is evaluated. A rate of survival based on threat exposure and navigation
performance along the trajectory is estimated. A new trajectory is planned from the start
node to the final node until a best rate of survival is established for the planned trajectory.

Abstract: Method and device for bending a portion of an element in a
bending machine (12) comprising a bending assembly (14), a
supporting plane (18) and an electronic processing unit
(32), wherein the bending process is filmed and displayed
on a screen (36). The portion (24) is bent with a first
movement of the bending assembly (14) to make a first bend
of a nominal value. By means of reference indicator
elements an angle of deviation is determined and the
portion is again bent with a new movement of the bending
assembly (14), taking into account the angle of deviation.
All movements of the bending assembly (14) are acquired by
a position transducer (15) and recorded by the electronic
processing unit (32) in order to have a global parameter
for obtaining an angle which corresponds to the nominal
value, and in order to use the global parameter in
subsequent analogous or similar bends.

Abstract: An improved tooth profile for a roller chain sprocket enables noise
reduction from impact and polygonal action during the meshing process. The
profile of the engaging flank consists of three portions which are the seating,
impact and distal portions all three of which are arcs with well-defined radii and
arc centres. The profile of the disengaging flank is determined in accordance to a
modified form of the JIS standard in which the sprocket pitch is smaller than the
roller chain pitch. The impact point is located at the tangent point, thus permitting
a gradual change of the roller velocity, thereby lessening the impact level and the
effects of polygonal action.

Abstract: A wrapping apparatus for wrapping a continuous elongated article (26), such as
a continuous stack of interfolded paper towels, includes a web supply section (22) that
supplies a pair of continuous webs of wrapping material, and a wrapping section for
applying the continuous pair of webs about the article. The web supply section (22) includes
a pair of web supply stations (28a,28b) for each web of wrapping material (30), and a source of
wrapping material, such as a supply roll, is located at each web supply station. The web
supply section includes a splicing mechanism (62) for each pair of web supply stations, for
splicing together the trailing end of a web from an exhausted supply roll of wrapping
material with the leading end of a web from a fresh supply roll of wrapping material, to
provide a continuous web of wrapping material to the wrapping section (24). The web
supply section includes a festoon-type web storage mechanism in which the web
downstream of the splicing mechanism is trained about a series of rollers in a serpentine
path. The rollers are movable toward and away from each other, e.g. by mounting one
set of rollers to a movable frame, to enable the web to be continuously supplied to the
wrapping section during the splicing operation, which maintains the web ends stationary
during splicing. The webs (30,34) of wrapping material are applied to the elongated article (26) such
that side areas of the webs overlap each other, and adhesive such as hot glue is applied
between the overlapping areas of the webs. A pressure application assembly (186) applies
pressure to the overlapping areas of the webs (30,34) to even out the adhesive, and the wrapped
elongated article is discharged from the wrapping section through a discharge passage (150)
which includes a cooling assembly (204) for extracting heat from the seal between the
overlapping webs. The wrapped elongated article is then discharged from the wrapping
section for subsequent processing.

Abstract: A wide band mixer is provided that mitigates local oscillator leakage. A
LO signal is provided to a 180 degree splitter that provides a first intermediate LO signal
and a second intermediate LO signal 180° out of phase from one another. Since both
the first and second intermediate LO signals are 180° out of phase, the fundamental LO
leakage is mitigated at the RF port by the in-phase combination of the 180° out of phase
LO tones canceling one another out and providing strong LO/RF rejection. An RF or
microwave input signal is provided to a power splitter to provide a first intermediate RF
signal and a second intermediate RF signal. The first intermediate LO signal is mixed
with the first intermediate RF signal and the second intermediate LO signal is mixed
with the second intermediate RF signal to provide an intermediate frequency signal at
the output of the mixer.

Inventor: JONES DOUGLAS S
IPC: A23L5/10
Filed: 2003-06-05
Abstract: A cooking device that is capable of rapidly cooking food products such as in toasting bread products or cooking pizza. The cooking device uses air impingement from above and/or below the food product. In some cases an infrared heater (19A, 19B) is additionally used to impart a desired color and crunchiness about a surface of the food product. In some cases, a boost in thermal energy is applied to the bottom of the food product vis-a-vis the top thereof. In some cases, the boost is due to an extra heater (248,250), which may be gas or electric. The device is particularly adapted for toasting bread products, cooking sandwich products (toasting the bread and heating the sandwich filler) and/or cooking pizza. Rapid cooking times are achieved by delivering more thermal energy to the top or bottom of the food product, depending on the type thereof, to give quality and speed.
