Title: Piston diaphragm pump for delivering doses of liquids
Inventor: HUNKLINGER HERBERT
IPC: F04B17/04
Filed: 1992-09-03
Granted: 1995-05-18
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP92/02029 Sec. 371 Date May 11, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date May 11, 1994 PCT Filed Sep. 3, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/05293 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 8, 1993.A piston diaphragm pump operable for delivering doses of liquids such as surfactants, or wetting agents, for example, includes a pump piston that is reciprocally moveable within a pump tube that encloses a pump pressure chamber. The pump piston is electromagnetically driven against the force of a return spring by a magnetic coil that surrounds the pump tube. In addition, a pump diaphragm is rigidly clamped about an inner circumference to a portion of an upper end of the pump piston. The outer circumference of the pump diaphragm is rigidly clamped about its periphery between upper and middle housing sections. One side of the diaphragm faces a suction chamber, and the other side faces a pressure chamber. A longitudinal bore, that encloses a pump piston provided with a piston valve, extends centrally through the pump diaphragm and links the pressure chamber to the suction chamber. In order to obtain the same pump capacity with reduced pump lifts, without requiring a specially sealed guidance of the pump piston in the pump tube, a pressure chamber located on the side of the pump diaphragm opposite to the suction chamber is designed as an additional pump pressure chamber that is constantly connected to the piston longitudinal bore that leads to the pump tube pressure chamber by cross-channels arranged in the pump piston behind the piston valve.

Abstract: A device (10) for spontaneously reporting remotely stored data is coupled to a descrambler (22) in an impulse pay-per-view television system for storing and reporting data pertaining to subject matter descrambled by the descrambler, such as identification of each impulse pay-per-view program that is descrambled. The descrambler (22) receives scrambled television programs over a data link (28) from a central station (24). The reporting device (10) is coupled to the central station (24) by telephone lines (26) for reporting the stored data to the central station. The reporting device (10) includes a memory (12) at the remote location for storing the generated data; and a control unit (14, 18) for causing the stored data to be spontaneously reported in response to the storage of at least a predetermined minumum amount of data, independently of responding to an interrogation signal requesting the report. The control unit (14, 18) includes a clock (18) for indicating elapsed time; and the control unit (14) processes the elapsed time indication to define time slots within which to make the reports, with predetermined time slots for the reporting of the stored data following the storage of at least the predetermined minimum amount of data being assigned by the control means in accordance with stored predetermined criteria. The control unit (14) monitors whether the stored data was successfully reported to the central station (24); and tries again to report the stored data when the stored data was not successfully reported to the central station. Upon trying again the control unit (14) causes the stored data to be reported in a different predetermined time slot than that used for the last previous unsuccessful report.

Title: Process for incorporating aspartame into extruded dry baked comestibles and dry baked comestibles obtained thereby
Inventor: DEMASO PATRICIA
IPC: A23L7/17
Filed: 1984-07-26
Granted: 1988-10-13
Abstract: Dry comestibles, such as cereal products and baked-type goods having an L-aspartic acid sweetening derivative distributed substantially uniformly throughout the comestible as a substitute for sugar or other sweeteners, are obtained by combining the L-aspartic acid sweetening derivative, a pH adjuster, water, and the remaining dry ingredients of the comestible to form a dough, extruding the dough through an extruder die plate, cutting the extruded product into pieces, and optionally reducing the moisture content of the pieces by conventional means like drying or toasting. The most feasible method of combining the ingredients is to separately feed: a) an aqueous solution of the sweetening derivative having a pH adjusted to about 1.0-7.0, preferably 2.0-3.0, and b) a preblended mixture of the remaining dry ingredients to the extruder wherein they are admixed to form a dough. Decomposition of the L-sapartic acid sweetening derivative during processing is minimized by controlling the pH of the sweetener solution, and the exposure time of the sweetener to high temperatures throughout the process for producing the dry comestible. The extruded dry baked comestibles are highly palatable, do not look sugar coated, do not contain localized concentrations of the L-aspartic acid sweetening derivative and are shelf stable for extended periods of time.

Filed: 1997-06-23
Granted: 2000-08-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus to provide access to a dispatch system is disclosed. A communications manager (40) grants an exclusive system talker privilege to one remote unit (10) in the system at a time. After a remote unit (10) requests and is designated as the exclusive system talker, no other remote unit (20, 22) may transmit for a first pre-determined amount of time. After the first pre-determined time has elapsed, any other remote unit (20, 22) may request the exclusive system talker privilege and become the exclusive system talker. The exclusive system talker privilege is revoked by the communications manager (40) to any remote unit who retains the exclusive system talker privilege for more than a second pre-determined amount of time. The exclusive system talker privilege is also revoked upon the release of a push-to-talk button on a remote unit (10). Furthermore, a base station (44) in communication with a remote unit (10) designated as the exclusive system talker will generate a surrogate relinquishment request to the communications manager (40) if the exclusive system talker travels outside the coverage area of the system, loses power, or is destroyed.

Title: A method and a system for handling sample materials, e.g. in mixing plants, for central analysis of the samples
Inventor: PEDERSEN JOAN GRONKAER
IPC: G01N21/15
Filed: 1989-05-05
Granted: 1992-05-07
Abstract: Samples taken automatically and frequently from the outlets of silos (4) in mixing plants, e.g. for fodder mixtures, are brought unwrapped and successively to an automatic NIR analysing station (72, 26) through a pneumatic conveyor system with substantial common pipe stretches (36) between that station and the single samplers (34). The associated risk of contamination of the samples is counteracted by taking out and conveying sample portions which are much larger than what is required for the analysis itself, and the large sample portions are not wasted, as they are returned to their silos of origin through another pneumatic conveyor system (90). It is hereby possible to operate with a real on-line analysing and thus, with computer support, to effect required changes in the mixing recipes almost immediately in response to changed analysis results. Various specialized sample handling equipment for making the system operative is disclosed.
