  • Publication number: 20110030320
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for closing containers with a closure in a gripping device. The method consists of a series of steps. First, the closure is picked up in the gripping device, then the container is picked up in the gripping device, the container is closed with the closure in the gripping device, and the closed container is deposited by the gripping device. The gripping device is displaced by a handling unit from a first position in to a second position for transporting the container, and the container is closed whilst the handling unit is displaced by the gripping device.

  • Publication number: 20110030316
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gripping device which has a container picking up device and a closure pick up device for picking up and closing containers. The container pick up device is designed to pick up the container, and the closure pick up device is designed to pick up a closure. The closure pick up device is connected to the container pick up device by means of a connecting element which allows a relative movement between the container pick up device and the closure pick up device to take place in order for the container to be closed with the closure.

  • Patent number: 7825796
    Abstract: A system and methods for enabling a client terminal to simultaneously access a plurality of remote building security panels are disclosed. The system enables a building operator to remotely login to a server and to monitor and control the sensors of the security systems of a plurality of secured buildings. The system in one embodiment includes a database controller, an interface provider, and an alarm receiver. The alarm receiver sends and receives data to and from each building security system. The database controller stores data received by the alarm receiver from each building security system in a database and stores a plurality of command requests for causing remote security panels to execute a plurality of commands, and the interface module enables a remote operator to input commands and requests to query the database, monitor each building security system, and control individual sensors or actuatable security devices.

  • Publication number: 20100238916
    Abstract: A method for improving the data rate of data for M/H receivers and for improving the quality of channel estimation in an ATSC-M/H transport data stream marks the transport data packets determined for the transmission of data for M/H receivers in N (e.g., 38) consecutively transmitted transport data packets in an ATSC-M/H-slot of the uncoded ATSC-M/H transport data stream originally determined for the transmission of data for stationary receivers. Coded data for M/H receivers are inserted in the marked transport data packets and introduce training sequences in segments of data fields of the coded ATSC-M/H transport data stream containing marked transport data packets.

  • Patent number: 7738582
    Abstract: A system, method, apparatus and computer code are provided for producing coherent symbols from digital RF transmitters. A multiplexer receives a digital signal containing content data to be broadcast from the digital RF transmitters and inserts a first initialization packet into the digital signal, where the initialization packets implicit position in the digital signal will signal data framing in the digital RF transmitters. Where the initialization packet contains stuff bytes for deterministically initializing Trellis coders in the digital RF transmitters. A transport stream emitter transmits the digital signal to the plurality of digital RF transmitters.

  • Publication number: 20100111109
    Abstract: Mapping data packets of a first data stream into data fields of a second data stream at several transmitters is provided by generating a first data stream with first data packets containing data associated with stationary receivers and second data packets containing data associated with mobile receivers in a head-end, where second data packets at the start of a group of consecutively transmitted second data packets contain placeholders into which signaling information is filled. A first data stream is transmitted from the head-end to each transmitter. Each transmitter extracts signaling information from the second data packets indicating in which data slot and in which data sub-frame of a received data frame the second data packet is transferred. Each transmitter inserts synchronization data in a specific data packet in each data slot containing second data packets. The first and second data packets are mapped consecutively into the second data stream.

  • Publication number: 20100055280
    Abstract: A consumable spice-containing film for covering or encasing foods. The film comprises a consumable carrier film having a polymer matrix which, as a polymeric base material, contains a polymer which is water-soluble or is soluble in an ethanol-water mixture, or a mixture of at least two such polymers. The carrier film has a smooth bottom side and a top side opposite the bottom side. The top side is provided with a coating of spice particles. The predominant fraction of the spice particles adheres to the surface of the carrier film and penetrates into this only partially, but is not completely enclosed within the carrier film.

  • Patent number: 7672399
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus and computer program products are provided for signaling to a receiver an availability of a service and a deterministic mapping of a service content corresponding to the service. A modulator receives a digital signal and generates a data frame from the digital signal, where the data frame is divided into segments, where at least one grouping of the segments contains the service content. The modulator modulates at least one grouping in accordance with the deterministic mapping. A receiving device receives a digital signal containing the availability of a service, the deterministic mapping corresponding to the service, and the service content, and performs an operation on the service content in accordance with the deterministic mapping.
