Abstract: A beverage dispensing system that can dispense both cold and hot drinks from either cold drink capsules or hot drink capsules. The cold or hot drink capsule is inserted into the system, and the lid is manually closed. if a cold drink capsule has been inserted, a mechanism cracks the capsule along a predetermined seam, injects cold mixing fluid into the capsule, and then rotates the capsule to pour out or further flush out the cold drink into a cup. If a hot drink capsule has been inserted, the lid is closed, and a rotating needle pierces the top of the capsule. The capsule is then punctured from the bottom. Hot water can then be injected into the top of the capsule, and the hot drink can be removed from the bottom into a cup.

Abstract: A three-dimensional image acquisition system including: at least two projectors aligned in a direction and suitable for illuminating a scene, the projection axes of the projectors defining a plane for each projector, and being turned toward the scene. A first and second camera are placed on one side of said plane, and a third and fourth camera placed on the other side of said plane. The optical axis of the first and second cameras form, with said plane, a different first and second angle, respectively, and the optical axis of the third and fourth cameras form, with said plane, a different third and fourth angle, respectively.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to purification of Factor VIII protein and/or its fragments from various sources by employing monolith based pseudobioaffinity purification methods. In particular, L-histidine over CIM monolith [Histidine Ligand Affinity Chromatography (HLAC)] is used for the purification of wild-type factor VIII from plasma cryoprecipitate, recombinant B-domain deleted factor VIII (rBDD-FVIII) expressed in various host systems and recombinant factor VIII light chain expressed in Pichia pastoris. Further, immobilized metal over CIM monolith [Immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography (IMAC)] is employed for the purification of wild-type factor VIII, rBDD-FVIII expressed in various host systems and recombinant factor VIII heavy chain expressed in Pichia pastoris.

Abstract: An installation of optical inspection of integrated circuits or the like includes a photographic system placed above a scene in a plane defined by a first and a second direction, the photographic system having several digital cameras each having an orthogonal array of pixels, all cameras having their respective optical axes inclined by a first angle with respect to a third direction perpendicular to the two others; and two projectors of determined patterns, these patterns being such that two straight lines projected by each of the projectors are aligned in the plane defined by the first two directions and are coplanar with a straight line interconnecting the optical centers of the two projectors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to dispensing of a substance from a container by means of a dispensing apparatus. Specifically, the exemplary embodiment of the present invention relates to (1) a container and (2) the automated method for opening such container and (3) the automated method of dispensing of the contents from such container into a customer receptacle or glass.

Abstract: A beverage dispensing system that can dispense both cold and hot drinks from either cold drink capsules or hot drink capsules. The cold or hot drink capsule is inserted into the system, and the lid is manually closed. If a cold drink capsule has been inserted, a mechanism cracks the capsule along a predetermined seam, injects cold mixing fluid into the capsule, and then rotates the capsule to pour the mixed contents into a cup. As the contents are poured, additional cold fluid can be added to the cup. If a hot drink capsule has been inserted, closing the lid pushed it down on a bottom needle that punctures it. An injection needle rotates and punctures the top. Hot fluid is injected under pressure forcing a brewed or mixed drink out the bottom into a cup.

Abstract: An installation of optical inspection of integrated circuits or the like, comprising: a planar conveyor along a first direction of the objects to be analyzed and a photographic system placed above an area of the conveyor and in a fixed position with respect thereto, the photographic system comprising at least one first set of digital cameras each comprising an orthogonal array of pixels, said cameras being aligned in a second direction different from the first one, the cameras being all oriented so that one of the orthogonal directions of their pixel array forms a first angle with the first direction.

Abstract: A stacking system for stacking paper from a linear feed.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a process for providing in-vehicle networking services is presented. The process may be implemented to establish a first network between a sub-management server (SMS) and a main server, wherein the SMS utilizes a first networking mechanism to communicate with the main server. The process may establish a second ad-hoc network between the SMS and a plurality of mobile devices, wherein each of the plurality of mobile devices utilizes a second networking mechanism to communicate with the SMS. The process may further transmit a first network message from the SMS to the main server, upon receiving by the SMS the first networking message from one of the plurality of mobile devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for impregnating and drying a continuous paper web (1) by means of a urea resin dissolved in water, and to a corresponding system. Such paper webs (1) are employed for example as furniture foil or floor laminate, wherein in the known art melamine resin is used exclusively for bonding to a substrate. This is relatively expensive. Therefore the object of the invention is to create a method in which the paper web (1) which is impregnated by means of urea resin can be bonded to the substrate with a high degree of operational reliability. Said object is achieved in that the temperature of the paper web (1) is determined separately in each of the drying zones (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4), that for each of the drying zones (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4) an amount and/or a temperature of the circulating air are regulated so that the maximum temperature of the paper web (1) is 99° C., and that exhaust air is extracted from a first one of the drying zones (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.

Abstract: A stacking system for stacking paper from a linear feed.

Abstract: The sheet transporting device of the invention includes: a transferring device (64) adapted to transfer a sheet (30), a conveying device (66; 66A) for conveying a sheet transferred from the transferring device (64) onto the conveying device, and a controlling means (76) adapted to control the speed of the conveying device (66; 66A) and defining a transfer cycle (CT). The controlling means (76) is adapted to slow down the conveying device (66) when a sheet is conveyed by the related conveying device and to accelerate the conveying device when no sheet is present on said conveying device. The invention can be used for the cutting devices of rotary printing machines.
