Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for neuromorphic experiential analysis of sensor data. The methods, systems, and apparatus include actions of obtaining sensor emissions from multiple sensors, generating monotonic data that indicates an orientation of the sensor emissions in respect to time, determining that the monotonic data matches a registered query, and in response to determining that the monotonic data matches a registered query, invoking an executor.

Abstract: A method for dispensing epoxy comprising the step of degassing an epoxy. The method further comprises the step of associating the epoxy with an epoxy injector comprising a dispensing end. The method further comprises the step of a computer receiving data representative of a selected container to receive the epoxy. The method further comprises the step of a computer determining a dispensing rate and a dispensing amount, based on the received data. The method further comprises the step of a computer causing the epoxy injector to dispense the determined dispensing amount of epoxy, via the dispensing end, at the determined dispensing rate. The method further comprises the step of a computer causing a dispensing arm, supporting the dispensing end, to retract the dispensing end while the epoxy injector is dispensing the epoxy. The method further comprises the step of curing the dispensed epoxy.

Abstract: Potato chip cooking process and apparatus includes controlled cooking of potato slices from the initial to the final cooking stages. Slices are deposited in hot cooking oil to develop a slice pack which is carried along a cooking path during which the pack is agitated and mixed by paddle means or tumbled so that the individual slices receive maximum contact with the cooking medium. The cooking path may be divided into one or more stages in each of which the cooking times and temperatures are selected and maintained to produce potato chips of different styles having a final moisture content in the range of 1.2% to 2%. The apparatus includes temperature and oil circulation controls for the oil heat exchangers dedicated to each stage of a cooking protocol. A multiplicity of variable rate, rotatable paddle wheel assemblies are positioned along the cooking path for thorough agitation of the potato pack encouraging good oil contact with the individual slices and consistent, chip-to-chip final moisture content.

Abstract: A vehicle including a first magnetic device, and an engine having a rotating component on which the first magnetic device is located. The vehicle may also include a central processing computer, a second magnetic device, a first shaft, a second shaft, and wheels. The first magnetic device is adapted to generate a first electrical signal through the rotating movement of the first magnetic device on the rotating component of the engine. The first electrical signal is supplied to the central processing computer. The central processing computer is programmed to supply a second electrical signal to the second magnetic device. The second magnetic device creates a magnetic field in response to the second electrical signal which causes the first shaft to turn. The first shaft causes a second shaft to turn which turns the wheels.

Abstract: A process for isomerizing ethylbenzene into xylenes such as para-xylene using a zeolitic catalyst system based on low Si/Al2 MTW-type zeolite that preferably is substantially free of mordenite. The catalyst may be bimetallic where the two metals are platinum and tin.

Abstract: An optical lens which, in a controlled manner, and without altering either the resolution or luminous capture, helps to extend the depth of field of any other optical system. The optical lens of the present invention is composed of two optical lenses that form a pair. Each of the lenses of the pair produces a change of optical path with a symmetrical distribution. If there is no relative displacement, the lenses of the pair generate an optical path difference equal to zero. When there is relative displacement, the lenses of the pair generate a change of optical path with asymmetric distribution, which helps to extend the depth of field without reducing either the resolution or luminous capture. The optical lens of this invention, in the form of an optical pair, serves any other optical system to capture images without loss of modulation, but with attenuated modulation which can be retrieved with digital processing algorithms known in the art.
