Title: Method and apparatus for synchronized transport of data through an asynchronous medium
Inventor: SMITH MARK
IPC: H04J3/24
Filed: 2004-09-08
Abstract: A gateway apparatus (200) includes multiple network server cards (206N) which are synchronized with each other to allow time slot switching of synchronous data across an asynchronous medium between source and destination server cards. The gateway (200) includes synchronization logic and a data adaptation layer which implements a protocol for formatting of synchronous serial data.  The data undergoes serial to parallel conversion and is formed into per time slot subpackets which are further packetized along with context and synchronization data. The packet is transmitted through an asynchronous switch after which the packet is disassembled into its constituent subpackets and queued into play-out buffers according to each subpackets' associated context and synchronization data. The apparatus (200) allows synchronous data to be switched from a source time slot to a destination time slot across the asynchronous switch with a known, fixed delay. The gateway apparatus (200) requires only a single asynchronous switch to transmit data between and among both the synchronous and asynchronous domains.

Inventor: KARWOWSKI JAN
IPC: A23L19/18
Filed: 2006-04-28
Abstract: Shredded whole grain products, such as ready-to-eat cereals, and sweet and savory snacks, such as whole grain shredded corn chips are continuously produced by pelletizing agglomerates of cooked, tempered, whole cereal grain particles. Cooked whole grains, such as corn and other non-gluten or low-gluten containing grains have a tendency to become hard and rubbery after cooking during the cooling and tempering process. The pelletization results in the production of whole grain pellets having a soft, pliable texture, which are shreddable into continuous net-like sheets on a mass production basis. The pelletizing may be at a pressure of about 200 psig to about 600 psig, preferably from about 400 psig to about 500 psig. The pelletizing temperature may be controlled to provide a pellet temperature of about 80°F to about 120°F, preferably from about 90°F to about 110°F, upon exiting the pelletizer.

IPC: B25J3/00
Filed: 2006-06-06
Abstract: A robot control system 2 for controlling a position and an attitude of a robot head 1a is provided with an operating head 3 held by an operator and a sensor 4 for detecting a position and an attitude of the operating head.      An attitude recognition portion 24 of the control means recognizes an initial attitude of the operating head when a control switch 12 provided at the operating head is turned on, and acquires a displacement vector from the initial attitude by a change in the attitude of the operating head.      An attitude conversion portion25 converts the displacement vector from the initial attitude to a displacement vector from the reference attitude corresponding to a predetermined reference attitude, and the control means makes the attitude of the robot head follow the displacement vector from the reference attitude.      In whatever attitude the operator holds the operating head, the position and the attitude of the robot head can follow the change in the position and the attitude of the operating head.

Abstract: A mounting plate having an orienting portion facilitates orienting the vacuum connection opening of the mounting plate with respect to an anticipated orientation of a receptacle and electrical box. The orienting portion is optionally releasably attachable to the main body of the mounting plate which main body comprises the vacuum connection opening. The mounting plate is mounted prior to installation of the electrical receptacle in the electrical box. The orienting portion of the mounting plate facilitates orienting the vacuum connection opening in a known orientation with respect to an anticipated orientation of the electrical receptacle when inserted in the electrical box.  After installation of the inlet valve and the electrical receptacle, a hose cuff having standard electrical terminals oriented with respect to the vacuum connection of the hose cuff may be simultaneously inserted into the electrical receptacle and the vacuum connection opening. The electrical terminals in the hose cuff are oriented with respect to the vacuum connection in a second known orientation corresponding to the first known orientation such that the electrical terminals mate with the electrical receptacle which has been installed in the electrical box when the vacuum connection opening receives the vacuum connection. In this manner, a hose cuff utilizing standard electrical terminals may be mated with an electrical terminal without interfering with the electrical box. Furthermore, because the orienting portion is releasably attached to the main body, the orienting portion can be removed to avoid interference with other trades.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un système de protection acoustique, permettant de sécuriser une zone d'intérêt déterminée et de maîtriser à distance un individu ou un groupe d'individus se trouvant dans cette zone et ayant un comportement potentiellement hostile. Le système comporte au moins un jeu de N sources sonores (11) électroacoustiques formant un réseau et un générateur permettant de créer N signaux électriques issus d'une même référence et commandables en phase individuellement. Chaque signal électrique attaque une source sonore (11) déterminée, l'ensemble produisant une émission résultante dont le diagramme est fonction de la direction de la zone d'intérêt et de la répartition des zones actives et des zones tranquilles souhaitées. Le dispositif comporte en outre des moyens permettant de déterminer les position relatives des différentes source après leur déploiement, ce qui limite les contraintes de positionnement imposées aux opérateurs chargés du déploiement et en augment la rapidité. L'invention entre dans le domaine plus général des dispositifs de protection non létaux.
