Abstract: In an example embodiment, an apparatus for making pouch products includes a conveyor system. The conveyor system includes a first receiving location along a path of the conveyor system, and a dosing location along the path of the conveyor system. The apparatus also includes a first material dispensing station configured to transfer a first material to the first receiving location. The first material includes a first elastic layer and a first support layer. The first material dispensing station includes a dispenser roller configured to hold a roll of the first material, a plurality of rollers configured to convey the first material from the dispenser roller to the first receiving location, and a stripper plate configured remove at least a portion of the first support layer from a portion of the first elastic layer.

Abstract: A method and system for determining the frequency of a pulse input signal is disclosed. A pulse count and a timer count can be captured at a start and end of a predetermined measurement interval to thereby obtain a start pulse count and an end pulse count and a start pulse time and an end pulse time thereof. A pulse frequency can then be determined, the pulse frequency comprises the end pulse count minus the start pulse count divided by the end pulse time minus the start pulse time, thereby permitting a highly accurate frequency measurement of the pulse input signal to be obtained over a wide frequency range. The pulse count and the timer count can be captured respectively utilizing a pulse counter and a timer. The pulse frequency generally comprises a frequency of an input pulse signal, such that the pulse frequency is determined based on an accuracy dependent only upon a reference timer clock.

Abstract: A programmable digital memory circuit uses a programmable read only memory (PROM) to correct code errors and permit expansion to additional PROM chips. Each code correction or expansion is made via enabling a portion of an overlay patch programmable read only memory (PROM) for a similar portion of the memory circuit at an address code burned into the overlay trap (PROM). Initially the overlay trap PROM is unprogrammed, and each bit location therein can act as an enable/disable selection to a 32 byte block in the overlay patch PROM. When a bit in the overlay trap PROM is programmed and when the memory address selects that location, the main memory is unselected and the patch PROM location is selected, i.e., substituted. The 256 bit locations in the overlay trap PROM can select 256 32 byte patches in the patch PROM for substitution in the main memory.
