Title: Peak current reduction in a communication device
Inventor: MONTGOMERY JR HUGH S
IPC: H04M1/73
Filed: 1997-04-17
Abstract: A method and apparatus reduces the peak current drawn from a DC-to-DC voltage converter (126) in a battery powered communication device such as a radiotelephone handset (104). The radiotelephone handset (104) enters high current operating conditions during transmit time slots (208, 210) and receive time slots (212, 214) defined by a TDMA protocol. During the receive time slots (212, 214) and the transmit time slots (208, 210), operating power is removed from a portion of the communication device, such as the display (120), to reduce the peak current drawn from the voltage converter (126). Excessive current drain from the battery (124) and rapid battery discharge are thereby eliminated.

Title: Cheese block forming tower
Inventor: ANTELL MICHAEL
IPC: A01J25/11
Filed: 1999-10-04
Abstract: The dewatering column of a cheese tower has a perforated inner wall 2 of rectangular section, a non-perforated outer wall 4 of circular section, and an intermediate non-perforated casing 3 having four angular corners (20) with intermediate outwardly-arcuate wall sections (21). Cheese curds enter the space within the inner wall 2 at the upper end of the column. A drainage space 5 formed between the walls 2 and 3 communicates with a secondary space 6 formed between the walls 3 and 4. Air and gases are pumped from the top of the secondary space 6 which draws whey through the perforated wall 2. The whey is stored in a collecting vessel formed by the secondary space 6, removing the requirement for a separate interceptor vessel. The tower is particularly suitable for the production of soft cheeses since cooling of the curds is reduced. The tower is also stronger and easy to clean.
