    Abstract: A plug connector housing for a plug connector, having a main body and a latching installation. The latching installation has a first connection portion integrally connecting the latching mechanism to the main body. A void extends along a longitudinal axis on the main body and is at least in portions formed between the latching installation and the main body. The plug connector housing furthermore has first and second protective elements which extend in each case integrally from the main body. The latching installation is disposed between the protective elements, wherein each of the protective elements in at least one covered region covers the void in a transverse direction. Each of the protective elements moreover configures at least one access region in which the void is accessible along the transverse direction. Each of the covered regions faces a respective access region of the respective other protective element along the transverse direction.

  • Publication number: 20100320210
    Abstract: A plastic food container for crisp or crunchy foods includes a lid adapted for sealing arrangement with a base. Exhaust vents are selectively disposed on the top surface of the container, such that when the container is closed, rising vapors in the container easily flow out of the container. The convection movement of rising hot vapors causes the induction of ambient air into the container through a first air intake port and a counterpart air intake port disposed between the two engaged rims. The first intake port and its counterpart allow inducted air to enter directly and horizontally into the container. One or more channels are formed in the floor of the base and are aligned with a line defined by the first intake port and its counterpart to allow for the cross flow of drier inducted air underneath the container's food contents.

  • Publication number: 20100181323
    Abstract: A plastic food container includes a lid adapted for sealing arrangement with a base. The rim of the base has an undercut formation adapted to receive the perimeter flange and flange tab of the lid when the lid and base are in the sealed arrangement. The flange tab includes an undercut release mechanism that allows a user to grasp a portion of the flange tab and initially open a sealed container via the extraction of the flange tab from the undercut formation by application of pulling force to the undercut release mechanism. The flange tab includes tamper evident means that provides visible indication that the undercut release mechanism has been utilized to initially open the sealed container.

  • Patent number: 6086833
    Abstract: Systems and processes are described for sanitizing a food product with ozone gas. The ozone gas is generated using a low pressure, low volume ozone gas generator and is delivered to a fluid injector. The fluid injector receives high pressure carrier fluid from a carrier fluid source and causes the ozone to be entrained in a stream of carrier fluid. The entrainment is created by passing the carrier fluid through a venturi diffuser inside the injector which creates a negative pressure in the sanitizing fluid line, thus drawing the sanitizing fluid into the carrier fluid and creating a highly homogenized fluid jet. The fluid jet is then injected into a container which contains a food product to be sanitized by the ozone. The container may also be provided with a mixing paddle to vigorously mix the food product while the ozone/carrier fluid jet is injected into the food product, which further ensures that the food product is contacted with sanitizing ozone gas.

  • Patent number: 4328566
    Abstract: The present invention is particularly directed to the enabling of a refresh cycle for a dynamic memory chip at a period in the fetch cycle, for example, of a type 8085 microprocessor, when the normal timing of the chip does not permit addressing of the memory. Specifically, in the fetch cycle, a fourth clock period occurs following a memory read pulse. This fourth clock cycle is required for the application of the microprocessor, but does not involve any addressing of the memory. Accordingly, in accordance with the invention, upon the occurrence of a memory read cycle, during which a normal refresh occurs, the refreshing circuitry is reactivated, so that a further refresh cycle will occur during this fourth clock.

  • Patent number: 4122443
    Abstract: In a character recognition system lines of data are stored in a line memory. This data is then accessed by a hardware implemented character position detector over a special line memory bus, i.e., a LM-bus. The detector searches the memory for the margins of characters and can also perform a count of the black points or character points within the margins. The position detector is activated by a system controller over a B-bus, but once started by the controller it will run on autonomously until it has completed its task, thereby leaving the processor and the B-bus available for other functions.

  • Patent number: 4120049
    Abstract: In a character recognition system lines of data are stored in a line memory via a series of multiplexers. The data can originate in a controller for the system, a character reading station or other sub-systems, and is supplied to the line memory over a controller bus, a transport bus and a line memory bus, respectively. Although stored in line form, two-dimensional sub-arrays of the data in various configurations can be accessed directly by the other sub-systems of the recognition system via the multiplexers and the line memory bus, without the interaction of the controller bus.
