Abstract: Optically scanned data forms an image stored in a computer memory represented as an array having at least two dimensions. The stored image is subjected to virtual scanning. Thus a subset of the array is defined as a portion of the image having first and second dimensions. The value of the subset is derived, the subset is then incremented, and the value of the incremented subset is determined. The steps of incrementing and deriving the value of the incremented subset are repeated. The derived values of the data are compared to a calibrated standard, to create adjusted values of data. The adjusted data values, in the case of electrophoresis, represent the scanned sample which has been subjected to electrophoresis. Thereafter, the adjusted data values can be integrated or otherwise processed.

Additional steps and procedures include washing or scouring the primary backing and fibers prior to the extrusion step, and utilizing implosion agents. The preferred homogeneously branched ethylene polymer is a substantially linear ethylene polymer.

Abstract: A computing device includes a processor, a storage device having an executable file, and a file system for executing the file in place on the storage device on behalf of the processor. The file is divided into multiple non-contiguous fragments on the storage device, and the computing device further includes a virtual address translator interposed between the processor and the storage device for translating between physical addresses of the fragments of the file on the storage device and corresponding virtual addresses employed by the processor.

Abstract: An event data acquisition device has a data segment multiplexer to receive data segments corresponding to processor events generated with a test device, and a memory component to maintain the data segments in an order that they are received from the test device. A control component of the event data acquisition device pauses the test device processor when the memory component exceeds a threshold number of stored data segments. An event data packet component generates event data packets where an individual data packet includes data segments having information for a particular processor event.

Abstract: Five pieces of aluminum from 1 in. diameter 14 inches long starting starting at the bottom, and then 1⅛ diameter 14 inches long, going into 1¼ inches to 1⅜, and these are three inches long, going to the handle which is a 1½ diameter and 36 inches long. Thus making up part #2 of FIG. 1. These connections are also shown in FIGS. 6, 2a, -2e. The tubes of aluminum in the possessions on FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are the cut that go around the tubing are welded and that welding bead is then ground smooth, as welding joints.

Abstract: A method for stuffing food product into a tubular food casing at a predetermined linear rate of movement of stuffed food product, closing the stuffed food product to segregate the stuffed food product into links while the stuffed food product continues to move at said predetermined rate. The invention also includes an improved food product stuffing machine which stuffs food product into a tubular food casing at a predetermined linear rate of movement of stuffed food product, a closing device which applies closures to the stuffed food product to segregate the stuffed food product into stuffed food product links while the stuffed food product continues to move at said predetermined rate. After clipping, means is provided for returning the closing device to an original position to repeat the operation after another desired length of casing is stuffed.

Abstract: A splice for regenerated cellulose tubular food casing. The splice includes a splicing tape comprising a regenerated cellulose film coated on at least one surface with a polyvinylidene chloride polymer (saran) and having a film thickness of 0.002 to 0.01 inches. The splicing tape is perforated to remove from ten to thirty percent of the area of the film. The removal of material from the splicing tape provides an elongation at break of at least twenty percent at a tensile force of between 500 and 1250 psi in a direction transverse to the direction of the longitudinal axis of the casing. The break force in that direction should be at least 100 psi greater than the force required to obtain the desired elongation. To form the splice, the splicing tape is wrapped around and sealed at the coated surface to a leading end of a first regenerated cellulose tubular food casing and a trailing end of a second regenerated cellulose tubular food casing wherein the ends are proximate each other.

Abstract: This invention relates to an electrochemical treatment of metal substrates, including so-called "difficult to plate metals" such as tungsten and molybdenum, wherein deoxidation and plating are carried out in the same electrolyte bath by exploiting the electrochemical window in potential and pH of a reduction/deposition. This window may be illustrated using Pourbaix diagrams. In the first step of the treatment, a direct current at a reduction potential is applied to the substrate to reduce oxides present on the surface of the substrate without causing metal to be deposited from the electrolyte. In the second step, the reduction potential is changed to a more negative deposition potential, and a direct current at this deposition potential is applied for a time sufficient to deposit metal from the electrolyte.

Abstract: Caramel confections which facilitate coating, depositing, molding and baking are prepared from a finely divided solid candy phase dispersed within a continuous fat phase. These products differ from conventional caramel products which are based on sugars and milk protein and typically exhibit a chewy texture but are difficult to mold or to otherwise handle. A powdered caramel brittle material is made by sheeting, cooling and grinding a caramel prepared by cooking aqueous milk solids with sugar to a moisture level of below 6%. Preferably, from 5 to 35% of the powdered caramel brittle is mixed with 30 to 60% granulated sugar, 17 to 40% fat, and 10 to 25% milk solids. The mixture is refined to obtain an average particle size of 0.0004 to 0.0020 inches, mixed with an emulsifying agent and additional vegetable fat, and heated as necessary to reduce the moisture level.
