Title: Enhanced automatic gain control mechanism for timeslotted data transmissions
Inventor: AXNESS TIMOTHY A
IPC: H03G3/00
Filed: 2004-03-12
Abstract: An automatic gain control (AGC) method according to the present invention applies an initial gain by a digital AGC circuit (13) in a timeslot is determined using a final calculated gain from the same timeslot in the previous frame together with an offset factor. An erase function (14) is activated for a given data sample block when the number of saturated data samples that are detected within the block (17) exceeds a threshold value. The power measurement made by the AGC circuit and used to update the gain is adjusted based on the number of measured data samples that are saturated.  These elements provide a gain limiting function and allows limiting of the dynamic range for further signal processing.

Abstract: A method of drying a building includes closing all openings in the building such that air movement out of the building is restricted, drawing air from outside the building, heating the outside air, and directing a stream of the heated outside air into the building through an input duct. The building air pressure of air inside the building is measured and compared to a desired building air pressure that is less than the input pressure. Where the measured building air pressure is greater than the desired building air pressure, a substantially controlled flow of air is allowed to exit the building at an exhaust location and the flow of air from the building is controlled to maintain the building air pressure at the desired air pressure.

Title: Reduced size citrus fruit juicing machine
Inventor: MENGUAL MENGUAL JOAQUIN
IPC: A47J19/02
Filed: 2004-09-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a reduced-size citrus-fruit-squeezing machine of the type that make use of sets of male/female rotating drums. The inventive machine is characterised in that it comprises a single female drum and a single male drum, an auto-orienting blade and a pendulum system which is used to support the turning part and which dispenses with the need for a second set of drums, by turning the fruit half that remains after cutting in the direction of the next upper cavity of the female drum. In addition to providing the same range of services as larger-sized squeezing machines, the machine also offers improved hygienic conditions owing to the provision of the support pendulum, a ribbed fruit inlet, a peel receptacle and a built-in juice container, which are isolated from the exterior. In this way, the machine is particularly suitable for use in hotels that lack space.

Filed: 2004-09-23
Abstract: A package (10) has a sliding blister card (12) and a locking sleeve (14) made from a base (16) and a top (18). The card is made from conventional blister dose packaging material, with blisters (30) formed in a single layer plastic top holding medicaments on a sealing paper, board, or foil layer. The top and base form a closed case, open along one end (26). Blister cards with receiving aperture(s) (34) are slid between guides and cylinders, and pushed inward until detent(s) (29) engage aperture(s) (34). Appurtenant(s) (48) adjacent to the detent(s) urge the blister card to engage the detent(s) at the card's receiving aperture. Pressing on release (20) disengages the card and detent by warping the card to move the aperture away from the detent so that the card may be slid through the open end of the sleeve. Reverse pressure easily slides the blister card back into the containment element without manipulation of parts.
