Title: Automated beverage brewing system
Inventor: BEAULIEU RODERICK H
IPC: A23F5/24
Filed: 1999-01-19
Abstract: An automated beverage brewing system includes a liquid storage tank (14) and a metering chamber. The metering chamber (16) is at least partially submerged beneath a standing level of liquid in the storage tank (14). The chamber includes a sealable liquid (12) inlet port (20) cummunicaitng with the interior of the storage tank beneath the standing level of liquid. The chamber also includes a liquid outlet port (23) and an apeture (22) that receives compressed air, wherein the compressed air forces a predetermined amount of liquid (12) from the liquid output port (23) of the chamber (16) for use in preparing a brewed beverage. A pump (31) provides the compressed air and a controller (40) monitors a pressure signal value indicative of the air pressure in the metering chamber (16). The controller (40) commands the pump (31) on to commence flow of the predetermined amount of liquid (12) from the metering chamber (16). The controller then commands the pump (31) off several seconds after detecting a drop in air pressure within the chamber (16), indicating that the predetermined amount of liquid (12) has been delivered to the brewing chamber (16). The chamber is then vented to ambient pressure, which opens the sealable liquid inlet port (20) and refills the chamber (16).

Title: Reduced complexity demodulator for multi-bit symbols
Inventor: DENT PAUL W
IPC: H03M13/41
Filed: 1999-12-27
Abstract: A decoder also includes a channel estimator to estimate coefficients describing a channel through which the signal has propagated, a signal predictor that combines the channel estimates with corresponding samples of the signal to obtain a metric, and a metric accumulator to accumulate the metrics for hypothesized symbol sequences to determine the likelihood indications. The hypothesized symbol sequences include partial symbols that select a subgroup of the symbol alphabet. This allows those parts of a symbol that are most important for predicting signal samples to be retained in a hypothesized state while the remaining parts can pass to a path history memory, thereby reducing the number of possible states that must be considered.

Patent AU-2613400-A (AU)
Title: Detection of base contaminants in gas samples
Inventor: KISHKOVICH OLEG P
IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 2000-01-14
Abstract: A detection system for detecting contaminant gases includes a converter, a detector, a primary channel for delivering a target gas sample through the converter to the detector, and at least two scrubbing channels for delivering a reference gas sample through the converter to the detector. Each of the scrubbing channels includes a scrubber for removing basic nitrogen compounds from the reference gas sample, while the primary channel preferably transmits the target gas sample without scrubbing. The converter converts gaseous nitrogen compounds in the target gas sample to an indicator gas, such as nitric oxide (NO), and a control system directs the flow of a gas sample among the primary channel and the scrubbing channels. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the basic-nitrogen-compound concentration can be measured by comparing the concentration of the indicator gas detected in the reference sample with the detected indicator-gas concentration in the target sample. The use of multiple scrubbing channels enables the detection to operate continuously since each scrubber can be alternately purged while another is scrubbing.

Abstract: A vending machine is usable in conjunction with a credit card accepting self service fuel dispensing gasoline pump. A credit card is initially input to the gasoline pump and approval of the credit card is obtained. A customer is then prompted to purchase a soft drink. The customer can input the quantity type of soft drink desired and coded portions of this information can be transmitted from the gas pump to the vending machine. A code can be generated in the gas pump, which is machine or human readable, and can be printed on a single receipt which further includes a total amount to be charged on a credit card corresponding to the gas dispensed and soft drink quantity purchased. This code can be entered into the vending machine where the soft drinks can be automatically dispensed without the need for further insertion of paper or coin money. Alternatively, a code number need not be issued, and the soft drinks can be automatically credited to or dispensed from the vending machine, through a customer interacting solely with the gas pump.
