Abstract: This invention generally relates to a cone for chips. Unlike other cardboard cones for chips, the model presented here includes, at the base of the cone, a small opening as well as a series of small holes in the middle of the four faces. These various openings let the air circulate, thereby preventing the formation of steam produced by the heat of the chips, keep the chips really crispy and mean that the cone stays rigid throughout its use. In another production mode, the cone has a compartment located at the inner tip of the cone and integrated into it, which can be folded to hold sauce.

Abstract: A system includes a sampling module and a correction module. The sampling module is configured to sample an input signal at sampling points and to output samples. The correction module is configured to output a correction factor when the first one of the samples is preceded by a second one of the samples having a first polarity, and when the first one of the samples is followed by a third one of the samples having a second polarity that is opposite of the first polarity. The correction factor comprises a correction value that is based on at least one of the samples that precedes the first one of the samples. The correction value is used to correct the input signal at a first one of the sampling points corresponding to the first one of the samples.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method to efficiently calibrate parameters of a memory reading device. The method can include defining two or more value sets for the parameters of the memory reading device to read a memory medium, reading the memory medium with the parameters set respectively at the value sets, receiving performance signals corresponding to operation of the memory reading device having the parameters set at the value sets, respectively, and setting the parameters of the memory reading device for reading the memory medium based on the performance signals.
