Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a system to generate and cause display of a specially configured graphical user interface to receive and present collections of images. According to certain example embodiments, an image analysis system: receives an image file from a client device; generates a hash value based on the image file; performs a comparison of the hash value with a list that comprises a collection of hash values; identifies a match to the hash value among the collection of hash values; assigns a label to the image file in response to identifying the match among the collection of image files from the list; and indexes the image file at a memory location identified by the label assigned to the image file.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling the carriage drive motor of a flat-bed knitting machine is provided with a device used for activating, accelerating and turning off the carriage drive motor. The apparatus has at least one manually operable handlebar, essentially extending along a longitudinal section of the machine. The handlebar is mechanically connected to the device which causes the activation, acceleration or turning off of the motor.

Abstract: A flat-bed knitting machine having a needle bed apparatus and an associated carriage apparatus movable longitudinally thereon and having a data processing unit which controls the cams and/or selector units among others and store pattern information in memory and which has an input keyboard is described. To make the input keyboard accessible to the operator of such a machine during observation of the knitting process, yet not have this keyboard hinder access to the essential parts of the machine, the input keyboard is disposed, from the standpoint of the machine operator, at the level of and in an area in front of the needle bed and carriage apparatus in the longitudinal direction of the machine, in front of a transparent cover, which is also movable in the longitudinal direction of the machine, keyboard being movable parallel to and independently of this cover.

Abstract: A flat-bed knitting machine is described which has a carriage apparatus movable along a needle bed apparatus, a front machine frame on which the needle bed apparatus is held and which includes at least one projecting part, and on each end a plurality of yarn eyes for supplying yarn to the needle bed apparatus. To make it possible to perform servicing and/or repair work on the underside, that is, in the cam area of the carriage apparatus without major effort or long stoppages, a protective cover receiving the plurality of yarn eyes is provided on one end of the needle bed apparatus, and this cover, when the machine is not in operation, is movable, along with the carriage apparatus contacting it on one side, by a predetermined displacement distance into an outer position in which the carriage apparatus is located partly on a projecting part of the front machine frame on the far side of the needle bed apparatus and there is freely accessible from below.

Abstract: A flat-bed knitting machine having a spool table disposed above the needle bed and carriage apparatus, preferably in a rear area of the machine, and on which there are a plurality of yarn spool holders is described. In order to make the spool table of such flat-bed knitting machines useable for other purposes, and also making the spool table easier to handle during assembly, the invention provides that the spool table comprises a plurality of interconnected extruded aluminum profile elements, which have integrated securing means on the surface for subsequently detachably securing yarn spool holders, and that the profile elements are provided on their lower portion with guide recesses, extending in the longitudinal extension of the spool table, for a protective cover and for an operating panel along with its control cables as well as for a trailing cable device.

Abstract: A flat-bed knitting machine having a spool table disposed above the needle bed and carriage apparatus, in a rear area of the machine, is described. A multiplicity of yarn spool holders, which are movable into a front area above the needle bed and carriage apparatus, and a plurality of yarn supply devices are held on the spool table. To make the individual yarn spools of such a flat knitting machine more accessible, with less effort, even during machine operation, the yarn spool holders are divided into sets of a plurality of holders, and each set of holders is secured on a pull-out rail of a pull-out device. The pull-out rail is movable relative to a guide rail of the pull-out apparatus, and the guide rail is secured on the stationary spool table.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for obtaining aromatic materials from a tobacco extract (primary extract) obtainable by means of solvents, by mixing this tobacco extract with an adsorbent, treating the mixture obtained with CO.sub.2 in a pressure extraction vessel under extraction conditions (secondary extraction) and isolating a clear tobacco aroma oil in a downstream separating vessel.The invention also relates to a new tobacco aroma oil which is free of resins, waxes and polyphenols and has a considerably reduced nicotine content.The invention further relates to the use of the obtainable tobacco aroma oil for aromatizing tobacco or tobacco products.

Abstract: Isomerization of alpha acids contained in hop extracts obtained with liquid or fluid CO.sub.2 or organic solvents is carried out by mixing the extract with one or more adsorption agents and treating the resulting mixture in a closed pressurized container with fluid CO.sub.2 under a pressure greater than 50 bars and at a temperature greater than 33.degree. C. to form iso-alpha acids. During isomerization in the container, essentially no iso-alpha acids become dissolved in the fluid CO.sub.2 and the iso-alpha acids are removed from the container as a dry substance. Adsorption agents that may be used are bentonite, fuller's earth, and alkali and alkaline earth metal salts or oxides.
