Abstract: Cigarette filter rods having individual objects positioned at predetermined intervals therein are prepared by transferring the individual objects from a rotating horizontal pan to a rotating vertical wheel and then depositing the object into a web of filter tow. Each object is positioned within the moving web of tow. The web filter material and the objects positioned within the web are introduced into a rod-forming unit wherein the rod is formed. The rate of feed of the filter tow, the rate of rotation of the horizontal pan and the vertical wheel are controlled relative to one another such that objects are positioned at predetermined intervals along the rod. Cigarette filter elements having well controlled amounts of flavorant contained therein can be made from the rods.

Abstract: A fully recyclable valve housing adapted for engagement with a neck of a container such as a beer keg, has an inner port 25 for liquid and a concentric outer port 14 for pressurised gas, with openings 21 for admitting pressurised gas into the container. A dip tube 5 is connected to a bottom end fitting 4, communicating with a valve stem 8 within the valve housing. A valve member 6 is arranged to control flow through the concentric ports, and a spring element 7 located about the valve stem 8 urges the valve member upwards to close the ports. The spring element 7 is moulded from a resilient polymeric material and comprises a plurality of C-shaped sections 7a angularly arranged in two interconnected stacks on opposite sides of the valve stem such that movement of the valve member 6 by means of a valve-operating member causes concurrent resilient deformation of all the sections.

Abstract: A machine for processing of a web through a process tank containing process liquid and a tank containing wash water has in each tank an upper submerged guide and a pair of lower submerged guides, whereby the web passes on a sinusoidal path through the tank. Four drying guides are provided one above the over above the down-stream end of the processing tank. The guides have outlet slits 18 facing alternately up-stream and down-stream. A blower is provided for blowing air into the guides and out through the slits onto the web passing sinuously around the ducts. It acts both as a bearing medium holding the web off the surfaces of the ducts and as a drying medium.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method that receives an unstructured document including a number of primitive elements. The method identifies a default set of document reconstruction operations for reconstructing the unstructured document to define a structured document. The method performs at least one of the document reconstruction operations from the default set. Based on results of the performed document reconstruction operations, the method identifies a profile for the unstructured document. The method modifies the set of document reconstruction operations for reconstructing the unstructured document according to the identified profile.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for storing a document. The method stores a content stream representation of the document that includes an ordered stream of code representations for primitive elements of the document. Each code representation of a primitive element has an index that indicates the order in the content stream of the primitive element representation. The method stores an object representation of the document that includes a set of object nodes arranged in a tree structure. Each object node references a range of indices in the content stream.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for analyzing an unstructured document that includes a number of glyphs. The method identifies boundaries between sets of glyphs. The method identifies that several of the boundaries form a table. The method defines a tabular structural element based on the table. The tabular structural element includes several cells arranged in a plurality of rows and columns, each of which includes an associated set of glyphs.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method that parses an unstructured document that includes a number of primitive elements. The method stores the primitive elements in a random order in a first storage. The method stores references to the primitive elements in a second storage in an order based on locations of the primitive elements in the unstructured document. The method receives instructions to perform a document reconstruction operation. The method performs the received instructions without storing any new references to the primitive elements.

Abstract: A cone type venturi integrated valve device includes a main body, a venturi cone, a valve path, and valves disposed in the valve path. The main body has a venturi path which penetrates though the main body in a horizontal direction and a hole which penetrates through the main body from the venturi path to a bottom of the main body, wherein the venturi path includes an inlet, an outlet, a first pressure point P1 at a distance from the inlet, and a second pressure point P2 at a distance from the outlet. The venturi cone is mounted between the first pressure point P1 and the second pressure point P2 in the venturi path of the main body. The venturi cone has a fixing leg bent downward and a bent end of the fixing leg is inserted into the hole of the main body and attached by welding.

Abstract: Described embodiments include a system, apparatus, and method. A described system includes a power-receiving connector configured to be usable after sterilization, to releasably couple with a power-source connector, and configured to be carried by a health care provider proximate to a first body portion. If coupled, the power-receiving connector is operable to receive an electrical or radiant power from the power-source connector. The system also includes a power-output device configured to be usable after sterilization, to interact with a power-receiving device connected to a handheld medical device, and configured to be carried by the health care provider proximate to a second body portion. If interacting, the received electrical or radiant power is transferred from the power-output device to the power-receiving device.

Abstract: A Hybrid Compressor and method of compressing a tile of pixels within an image are disclosed. An Edge Processor of the Hybrid Compressor analyzes pixel runs of the tile and generates boundary data defining one or more regions comprising pixels of substantially identical color. A Palette Processor of the Hybrid Compressor generates data defining a color value for each region. An Image Processor of the Hybrid Compressor generates a representation of pixels not included in the one or more regions.

Abstract: Content encoding rendering is disclosed. An indication of a desired interpretation of a starting content having a first encoding is received. The starting content is processed to generate a representation data comprising a second encoding of the starting content, wherein the second encoding is determined automatically and at least in part by the desired interpretation. The representation data is rendered using a view associated with the desired interpretation.

Abstract: An invitation message (112, 116, 120) is sent from a concentrator (102) to nodes in a network. Each node records (124) an identifier (126) of the node or concentrator from which it received the message and forwards (122) the message to its neighbors. A node (108) then sends a trace message (132, 134, 136) to the concentrator (102) via intermediate nodes (106, 104) traversed by the invitation message in reaching the node and appends thereto the identifiers of the intermediate nodes. The concentrator then uses source routing to send a subsequent message (144, 146, 148) to the node (108) using the identifiers included in the trace message. The invitation message and/or the subsequent message includes characteristics) (200) of the concentrator one or more of which are then stored by nodes, including node (108). The characteristic(s) are used in deciding (206, 208) to send further trace messages, thereby regulating use of network bandwidth.
