A card receiver (6), which can likewise be displaced, is arranged in the carriage (3). Means (8, 9, 10, 11, 12) are available which convert a relative movement...

An apparatus for the reading/writing of credit cards (7) is to be simple and secure against fraud. Arranged in a housing (2) in such an apparatus is a card receiver (4) which can be displaced from a first end position into a second end position. In the first end position, a compression spring (9) exerts on the card receiver (4) a force directed forwards against a front plate (1), and in the second...

The invention relates to apparatus for the extraction of meat from the tails of crustacea such as prawns. An example of the apparatus described comprises a frame (10) supporting a conveyor means (12) which carry support means in the form of releasable cartridges (26) towards pressure applying rollers (20, 22) between which the cartridges pass. The lower roller (22) is preferably hollow and apertur...

Free-flowing polytetrafluoroethylene molding powders are obtained if a finely divided non free-flowing powder of an optionally modified polytetrafluoroethylene is agglomerated in an aqueous medium which contains a trialkylamine oxide and the agglomerates are dried.

The present invention relates to thermosetting powdered paints in various colors that contain bleeding pigments or colors which, when mixed together and subsequently applied with a particular two-coat cycle, allow to obtain uniform tints having a high hiding power that cannot be obtained with the thermosetting powdered paints used so far, which produce the phenomenon known as "salt-and-pepper" eff...

Un gruppo connettore comprende un primo ed un secondo raccordo ed un secondo gruppo a membrana. Ogni raccordo forma una rispettiva apertura. Ogni gruppo a membrana ha uno strato che chiude a tenuta l'apertura ed uno strato rimovibile di contenimento di contaminazione sovrapposto ad un rispettivo strato di tenuta. Il primo ed il secondo raccordo possono essere accoppiati elasticamente in opposizion...

The invention concerns a yoghurt flavor comprising the dried yoghurt fermentation product of a cheese whey medium or of a fracton thereof, as well as a process for the preparation of a yoghurt flavor, comprising the fermentation of a whey medium comprising water and whey solids, with a conventional bacterial yoghurt starter culture.

A system and method for controlling a data encoder buffer is disclosed, including an encoder for encoding input data as a first bit sequence in a bitstream; a processor having a predetermined size for converting the first bit sequence to a sequence having the predetermined size; and a decoder for decoding the modified bit sequence. The modified bit sequence is generated by inserting bits to the fi...

A video encoder control system (10) and method are disclosed for controlling a video encoder (16) using a processor (12) having a multiple field delay circuit for delaying input video data by a predetermined number of frames, and a statistics generator for generating statistics from the video data to control the encoder (16). The statistics generator calculates a sum of absolute values of field di...

A method is provided for synchronizing video data buffers in a system containing a variable rate transmission channel, including: an encoder for encoding input data into a compressed data bitstream; an encoder buffer for storing the compressed data bitstream; a decoder buffer for receiving the compressed data bitstream, with the sum of the encoder buffer delay and the decoder buffer delay is const...
