Abstract: Detrimental color changes in liquid diphenylamine age-resisters have been inhibited and/or reduced by combining with the age-resisters small amounts of a color inhibitor selected from the group consisting of trialkylol amines, glycol diesters of sulphur-containing monocarboxylic acids, and dialkyl esters of thiodicarboxylic acids in a weight ratio of color inhibitor to age-resister of from 0.25:99.75 to 5:95.

Abstract: A press structure wherein the usual crank mechanism is utilized solely for the movement of the press tooling and forging pressure is exerted by way of load cylinders interconnecting the press ram and load beam so that the press ram and load beam are drawn together under the influence of high pressure hydraulic fluid within the load cylinders. A minimum volume of high pressure hydraulic fluid is required to exert the forging pressure and, accordingly, the work efficiency of the press is much greater than that experienced with other press systems.

Abstract: A capacitive keyboard verification system is disclosed wherein key movement is verified with a high degree of accuracy in a manner largely immune to ambient noise or other electronic or electromagnetic interference. A pulse signal, in the form of a train of pulses, is periodically applied across the capacitor associated with each key. The signal coupled through the capacitor is reconstructed only if it exceeds a predetermined reference level. A test, which depends on the previously verified key state, is made to determine the existing key state. The test for the active key state is conditioned on multiple true comparisons of a reconstructed signal with the originally applied signal throughout the duration of the test. The test for the inactive key state is conditioned on the absence of a reconstructed signal throughout the test. In both instances the newly indicated key state is compared with the state to which the key is assumed to have changed from its previously verified state.

Abstract: A forging press having a mechanical load transfer mechanism in the form of a motion and force multiplying lever arrangement and linkage between a press load beam and the press ram so that forces applied to the load beam through the tooling from the ram are transferred to the ram to aid the ram in its downward forging movement. A suitable lost motion linkage is provided which permits the ram to move away from the load beam after the load beam has stopped in its upstroke position to effect the removal of a formed article.

Abstract: There is disclosed a low-calorie whippable topping composition which comprises a protein, a stabilizing gum, a sweetener, an emulsifier, and a fat wherein the fat is a high solids fat such as hydrogenated palm kernel oil and the fat and emulsifier are present in relatively low proportions.

Abstract: A forging press having a mechanical mechanism for reciprocating the ram and wherein the tooling includes a fixed die sleeve, a punch carried by the ram, and a pad movable through the die sleeve in conjunction with a slug being formed. The pad is supported by a forge cylinder which is coupled to the ram by one or more load cylinders. The area of the piston of the forge cylinder is greater than the combined areas of the pistons of the load cylinders so that as the pad descends hydraulic fluid is pumped from the forge cylinder through the load cylinders at a rate greater than that which can be received so that the hydraulic fluid is compressed to a high pressure, and this pressure is effective as a forging pressure between the punch and the pad. The hydraulic system may include an accumulator for receiving excess hydraulic fluid after a preset pressure has been reached in the system. Various hydraulic systems are possible.

Abstract: Low-calorie imitation dairy products are obtained by elimination of the conventional triglyceride fat content and substituting therefor an edible partial glycerol ester emulsifier in which a major constituent is diglyceride, present in an amount of about 38-48%, based on the ester emulsifier weight. The triglyceride content is less than the mono- and diglyceride contents combined, the ratio of diglyceride to monoglyceride being about 5:1 to about 1.5:1.

Abstract: Imitation cheese is manufactured by a flow process from a plurality of edible ingredients comprising fat, protein, water, and flavor wherein the cheese product is set by the addition of an acidulant, in lieu of fermentation. The edible ingredients are introduced into an elongated, confined mixing zone in such a way that the acidulant and protein are in distinct and separate flow streams until in said zone, and in the zone are subjected, at a temperature of at least about 100.degree. F, to medium-to-high intensity axial and radial flow mixing. The mixing is continued until a substantially homogeneous mixture is obtained.

Abstract: Apparatus for automatically searching for a string of ordered characters stored on a magnetic tape wherein the string may be of selectable length employing a dynamic buffer register for storing the candidate strings of characters to be searched and a static/dynamic register for use in identifying the ordered reference string of characters used in performing the search, said candidate characters and reference characters being compared on a bit parallel character serial basis, means are provided to successively delay the relative positions of said reference characters and candidate characters in their respective register stages until a comparison indicates that the string of characters identified in the reference register have been located in the candidate register.

Abstract: An arrangement for controlling the speed of payoff and winding reels and an associated capstan drive in a recording and reproducing arrangement during start up, running and stopping operations employing the application of control signals to the capstan and reel motors which include novel, combined use of capstan motor armature counter-electromotive force, reference signals and capstan motor terminal voltage.

Abstract: The disclosure is of a display panel, known as a bar graph and used for displaying bars of light of varying length. The panel includes an anode and a series of cathode bars, the cathodes being connected in three phases of groups which are formed by a trifilar winding on an insulating base plate. The anode for the panel may be formed on the face plate which is hermetically sealed to the base plate to form a gas-tight envelope which is filled with an ionizable gas.The principles of the invention can be used to make other types of panels having electrodes connected in groups.

Abstract: The panel includes a base plate, a face plate, and a slotted insulating plate therebetween, all three parts being sealed together to form a gas-tight, gas-filled envelope. Strip-like cathode electrodes are provided on the base plate, and an array of alternating display and scan anodes are provided on the face plate overlaying the cathodes to define, with the slotted plate, alternating scan and display cathodes. The arrangement provides rows and columns of scan cells and display cells. The scan cathodes and scan cells are not viewed and serve to supply excited particles to the display cells, and the rows and columns of display cells comprise a dot matrix which is used to display messages. The cathode and anode connections are specially formed so that all appear at the lower edge of the panel, at which external circuitry can be connected thereto to permit individual panels to be butted together to form a large wallboard display.

The column cathode strips, thus treated, form rows and columns of display cathodes and priming cathodes, and, in each column, there are gas communication paths between priming cathodes or areas and display cathodes or areas. In addition, there are gas communication paths along each row of priming cathodes so that each priming cathode, and each column of priming cathodes, can diffuse excited particles to adjacent priming cathodes.
