Title: Data transaction assembly server
Inventor: MARTINO ROCCO L
IPC: H04N7/14
Filed: 1998-06-22
Granted: 2005-06-14
Abstract: A form driven operating system which permits dynamic reconfiguration of any host processor into a virtual machine supporting any of a number of operating system independent applications. A data transaction assembly server (TAS 18) downloads menus and forms unique to each application requiring data to be input for processing. The data transactions and forms  are exchanged between the TAS (18) and a remote processor in real-time so that virtually any operating system independent software application may be implemented in which a form driven operating system may be used to facilitate input, data input into the form may be processed, returned as a data stream, and displayed to the user. The TAS requires a flash PROM (95) for storing the TAS  control firmware, a RAM (96) for storing the data streams making up the forms and menus, and a small RAM (97) which operates as an input/output transaction buffer for storing the data streams of the template and the user replies to the prompts during assembly of a data transaction. The transaction entry device (12) including the TAS (18) may be integrated with a telephone and accessed via conventional data input devices.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à un distributeur d'aliments à double face destiné à alimenter des animaux passant d'une première taille à une seconde taille supérieure à la première. Ce distributeur comporte une mangeoire (10), dotée de deux parois avant opposées (12, 13) inclinées vers l'extérieur, à laquelle les animaux ont accès par le haut et dans laquelle les animaux peuvent saisir les aliments; et une trémie destinée à décharger les aliments vers le bas, dans la mangeoire (10). Il est possible de régler la hauteur de chaque paroi avant grâce à un organe (23) supplémentaire amovible ou articulé et ce, dans le but d'adapter ledit distributeur aux différentes tailles des animaux. Un plateau est situé au dessus de la mangeoire dans laquelle sont déposés les aliments. La hauteur de ce plateau est également réglable. La trémie comporte deux parois latérales verticales délimitant un col inférieur et présentant chacune une extrémité inférieure adjacente au plateau et ce, en vue de réguler le dépôt d'aliments sur le plateau afin qu'ils restent sur ce plateau, à moins qu'ils ne soient déplacés vers la mangeoire par l'animal. Un organe inséré complète le col lors du passage du plateau dans sa position basse.

Abstract: A safety syringe with a needle sleeve is provided. The needle sleeve is put around a cap of the syringe, such that the cap, a hub tightly fitted in the cap, and the needle sleeve together form a needle sleeve assembly, which allows the hub to temporarily locate closely before but not engaged into a neck portion of a barrel of the syringe, so that the syringe may be sterilized under high temperature without stress and thermal deformations at the joint of the hub and the barrel. When the cap is depressed in a predetermined manner, the hub and a cannula held thereto are caused to move backward and be stably retained to the neck portion of the barrel in an airtight manner. And when the cap is pulled forward again, it brings the needle sleeve along with it to separate from the hub to expose the cannula for injection. The needle sleeve may be provided with two stoppers to prevent the cap from being undesirably depressed. When the cap is turned to disengage from the stoppers of the needle sleeve, the cap may be depressed to push the hub into the barrel.

IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 1999-04-01
Granted: 2006-06-06
Abstract: A multiple-cell battery having a built-in controller is disclosed that extends the run time of the battery. The controller may extend the run time of the battery, for example, by converting the cell voltage to an output voltage that is greater than a cut-off voltage of an electronic device, by converting the cell voltage to an output voltage that is less than the nominal voltage of the electrochemical cell of the battery, or by protecting the electrochemical cell from current peaks. The controller may also include a ground bias circuit that provides a virtual ground so that a converter may operate at lower cell voltages. The battery may be a single-cell battery, a universal single-cell battery, a multiple-cell battery or a multiple-cell hybrid battery. The individual cells of the multiple-cell battery may be connected in series or parallel. In addition, the individual cells may have a controller in each cell that is capable of performing one or more functions to extend the run time of the cell.

Title: Method for making novel cheese products by processing an initial material
Inventor: GAULIER JEAN-PAUL
IPC: A23C19/09
Filed: 1999-05-10
Granted: 2009-07-14
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for making a cheese product by processing an initial material consisting of a cheese, comprising the following steps: a) thermal and mechanical treatment such as kneading the initial cheese, after fractionating into strands at a temperature T1 of not more than 65  DEG C, to break down in limited manner the initial cheese protein structure; b) cooling the mixture resulting from step a) to a temperature ranging between T1-8  DEG C and T1-20  DEG C, advantageously between T1-10  DEG C and T1-15  DEG C inclusively; c) if necessary, mechanically treating the paste resulting from step b) in an endless screw apparatus to complete the reconstruct of the protein structure and stabilise the emulsion; and, wherein steps a) and b) are carried out by adding to the initial raw material an amount of water of not less than 7 wt.% and not more than 20 wt.% with respect to the initial material weight.

Title: Method for manufacturing paper, cardboard and corresponding retaining agents
Inventor: JEHN-RENDU CHRISTIAN
IPC: D21H21/10
Filed: 1999-06-01
Granted: 2008-07-15
Abstract: The invention relates to an improved paper production process according to which a cross-linked polymer prepared in reverse-phase emulsion and sheared before introduction into the fibrous mass is used as the main retention aid, and then bentonite is used as the secondary retention aid (a dual type system). The two additions are not separated by any mandatory stage for intense shearing of the fibrous suspension (or mass).     The paper manufacturer can therefore be free from the constraints of shearing the pulp.     A distinctly improved retention of the fines is obtained, and also a distinct improvement in drainage. In addition, the bentonite content in the white water is reduced. Lastly, excellent formation is maintained.

Granted: 2005-07-05
Abstract: What is disclosed is a joint for two flat structural members, in particular floor panels. wherein a groove and tongue joint is provided functionally separate from locking. This locking is effected by a twistlock of a structural member, said twistlo ck being spaced apart from the groove and tongue joint and engaging with a correspondingly formed engaging element of the other structural member. The locking is preferably formed both at the longitudinal edges and at the front edges of a rectangula r structural member, for instance of a floor panel. The locking allows for a joint of the floor panels in flat position, i.e. without twisting.
