RELIEF VALVE FOR PRESSURE MEASURING APPARATUS Filed Feb. 25, 1955 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 INVENTOR.
JONATHAN B. FLEMING FIG. 2 yfrr j Tg transmission system from bellows 6. The fundamental v operation of the meter begins with the up-and-down motion of connecting link 20, by bellows-6, to finally produce an external manifestation of. the. value of .the differential pressure applied to bellows ,6.
The position of thevarious elementsof Fig. 2 are shown in normal operation of the meter. Bellows end plate 8 is shown above, and separated from, casing wall 9, and the limit stop structuremounted thereon. The valve structure is shown as positioned to seal between, or isolate, the high and low pressures across bellows 6 in order that their differentials will move bellows end plate 8, connecting link 20 and transmitting link 10, against the'force of spring 12., An understanding of the function of thevalve structure during this normal period begins with noting that relief valve 21 is engaged with its seating surface on the interior of relief valve housing 22. A normal seal is, specifically, maintained between the interior and exterior of bellows 6.
Connecting link 20 extends through a hole in the center of circular relief valve member '21. To withstand the severe service of actuation under high values of differential pressures, the active valving surface of member 21 is provided by a disk-shaped body of resilient material sandwiched between metallic discs. The three elements of the valve are held together, by a spring on one side and by structure arranged on the link 20 on the other side.
Besides being formed centrally about link 20, valve 21 is also in a chamber formed within relief valve housing 22. Circular plate 23, above housing 22 is centrally connecting link 20, and its structure, specifically providing the unrestricted communication through casing wall 9. Member 32 is threaded into a tapped hole in wall 9 and provides a valve-seating surface on its upper end which is spaced from wall 9 by the rotation of adjusting pinion 31. The vertical adjustment of this valve seat determines the lower limit of travel for bellows 6.
Seal 33 is carried by link-rod 20 and makes contact with the upper surface of member 32 as the increasing differential of bellows 6 moves bellows, housing and rod downward. Spacer sleeve 34, slides along connecting link-rod 20 to provide abutrnents which fix the normal distance between lower limit seal 33 and upper limit seal 30. Collar 35 is fixed to link 20 to abut on the underside of seal 30. Thus seals and 33 are held a spaced distance apart by spacer 34, the combination being held together by the force of spring .36 as it is held in compression from the underside of end plate 8. v
The specific components, and their arrangements, of seal 33 are patterned after those of valve 21. The severe service calls for this arrangement of all the parts being carried directly on the link-rod 20. With upper limit seal 30 the service is not so severe. A relatively simple sealing function is provided, by a single. circular disc, with O-rings at its periphery and center.
The actuating structure for relief valve member 21 1s completed by locating operating sleeve 37 between valve 21 and seal 33.
attached to connecting link 20 as it extends up through 3:;
a central hole in the bottom of housing 22, completing an internal chamber. A relief valve spring 24 normally bears on the underside of plate 23 to hold .valve 21 engaged with its seating surface, about link 20 and on the interior wall of housing 22.
The primary object of the invention is accomplished when valve member 21 is moved upwardly against the force of spring 24. Relatively free communication is then provided between the interior and exterior. of bellows 6.
Of course, access to the valve housing must be provided,
and this is accomplished, from the interior, through holes 26. Central holes are provided on the lower portion of housing 22, through end plate 8 and support plate 27, to form an annular passage about link 20 for the relatively free communication between the internal chamber of relief valve 21 and the exterior of bellows 6.
The assemblyof plates 23, 25 and housing 22 is bolted together by the studsshown extending downwardly from the interior of bellows 6. The assembly is then permanently secured to bellows end plate 8 by studs extending upwardly from the exterior of bellows 6. Support plate 27 is an example of structure which, with end plate 8, provides a body of sufiicient strength, on this section of the bellows, to carry the assembly.
It is appreciated that an increasing exterior pressure of bellows 6 may collapse that expansible member until end plate 8 is taken to a predetermined upper limit of travel. This limit is determined by fixing seal member 30 to link 20, as it extends to the underside of dividing wall 9, so it will seat about the access hole through wall 9. Should this valve 30 leak and allow the pressure on the exterior of bellows 6 to continue building up to, and past, a predetermined allowable maximum, the force built up on the underside of relief valve member 21 will directly oppose the force of relief valve spring 24, lifting the valve from its seat and relieving the excess of pressure to the interior of bellows 6. The more likely over-pressure will occur from within the bellows 6, however, and actuating structure for relief valve member 21 is provided when this anticipated malfunction develops.
Note that adjusting pinion 31 may be rotated manually and is geared to overtravel stop member 32. A central passage through stop member 32 freely accommOdfites It can be appreciated that as bellows 6 expands, under the increasingdifierential pressure and against the force of spring 12, it moves seal 33 down to seat on over-travel stop member 32. Further increase in the differential pressure will move the end of bellows 6, and relief valve housing 22, down until relief valve 21 unseats by having its seat in housing 22 moved away from it against the force of spring 24 and spring 12. Pressure will then relieve by fluid moving from the :12. interior of bellows 6, through holes 26, to the interior of housing 22 and through the annular, and aligned, holes in the bottom of housing 22 and plates 8 and 27. Thus, excess differential will be relieved,'througl1 the end plate 8 of bellows 6, regardless of whether the excess pressure of the differential occurs inside or outside of bellows 6.
Note is to be taken that during the period of operation defined as normal, excess pressure occurring Inside of bellows 6, the predominate pressure tends to seat valve 21. Spring 24, initially, acts to urge the valve 21 on to its seat against the friction developed with the surface of connecting link 20. During normal operation the internal pressure of bellows 6 also assists in seating valve 21, and, in unseating valve 21, the spring 1 and fiuid pressure seating forces are overcome by the fluid pressure force developed on the remaining portion of the bellows end plate 8. Another factor in the design of spring 24 is the strength needed to establish the external fluid pressure on the bellows at which valve 21 will be lifted from its seat.
Turning finally, to Fig. 3, an embodiment of the relief valve structure is illustrated in association with a bellows fixed, by its lower end, to the casing. This embodiment has utility at least where the bellows is so small that it is impractical to utilize the invention in the form disclosed in Fig. 2. However, the principles of valve actuation, by fluid pressure in one direction and mechanical movement in the other direction, are alsoemployed in this second embodiment. r
A meter casing is not shown inthe disclosure of Fig. 3 but a compound flange memberi'4'0 is illustrated and to be taken as fixed to the interior of a 'meter casing for completion of separation between the 'high' and low pressures, of the differentials, as introduced into the casing. Bellows 41 is attached to flange structure 40 45 provide access from the interior and exterior of bellows 41 to the valve chamber of housing 42. Spring 46 normally maintains valve 43 on its seating surface of the interior chamber of housing 42, about passage 45.
Operation of the relief valve is fundamentally as disclosed in Fig. 2, despite the somewhat difierent arrangement of cooperating elements. Upon increase of pressures exterior of bellows 41, housing 42 is lowered until connecting link-rod 47 has carried seal 48 into contact with its seat on adjustable stop member 49. Excessive values of pressure exterior of the bellows will then move housing 42 a suflicient distance downward to cause valve 43 to be separated from its seat by housing 42 moving away from the valve 43 as it is restrained by a shoulder fonned on connecting link 47. The opening of valve 43 will relieve the pressure exterior of the bellows through passage 44, the interior valve chamber of housing 42 and passage 45.
When the pressure increases interior of bellows 41, housing 42 is taken to its upper limit, predetermined by the position of seal 50, on link-rod 47, seating on the under side of wall 51. Should excess pressure occur beneath valve 43, due to leakage of seal 50, as an example, the force of spring 46 will be overcome and valve 43 separated from its seat to relieve the overpressure internal of bellows 41 through passage 45, the valve chamber interior of housing 42 and passages 44.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:
1. A relief valve system for a meter responsive to diiierential pressure including, in combination, a casing for receiving the pressures of the differential, a pressure responsive wall dividing the casing, a valve housing mounted on the responsive wall and providing an internal chamber with a first passage opening to one side of the Wall and a second passage registering with an opening in the wall to the other side, a connecting rod fixed to the housing and extending into the internal chamber, a valve member in the housing slidable along the rod in seating on the internal surface of the housing over the first passage opening to the one side of the wall, a spring within the internal chamber to urge the valve on to its seat, a rigid wall member dividing the casing below the pressure responsive wall and accommodating the connecting rod loosely through an aperture, a first seal member for the rigid Wall aperture between the rigid wall and the pressure responsive wall and slideable on the connecting rod, and an actuating sleeve between the first seal member and the valve and which extends into the internal chamber of the housing to lift the valve from its seat after the seal member contacts the rigid wall and the housing continues to movetoward the rigid wall.

A Short History of Renaissance and Reformation Europe: Dances Over Fire and Water
Prentice Hall, 1998 - History - 335 pages
In an effort to bridge the gap between the often different worlds of professors and students, this exploration of Renaissance and Reformation Europe offers an accessible, engaging approach that pays sufficient attention to the roles and contributions of women. Its conversational tone and concise presentation are examples of an approach that is more representative than comprehensive--introducing historical figures and concepts as they flow through the narrative, without frequent interruption to include and define technical and foreign terms. Rather than a compendium or grand "summa," the text serves as a brief introduction to some of the major personalities, issues, events and ideas of the Renaissance and Reformation age.

Other reviewers are right, the GF crust is nothing extraordinary, but toppings options more than make up for it. The atmosphere is fun and family friendly (even on busy weekend evenings) and the staff has always been friendly and more than accommodating with my GF inquiries. We are Bottoms Up fans!!
Once I tried the portobello pizza, it was disgusting. The mushrooms were extremely wet, it was not prepared well. Next time tried the GFree crust instead, just ok, not great. Mellow mushroom or CPK is better GFree crust.
Miss the non GF pizza but their GF pizza is just as good and I can get my Chesapeake pizza (crab, onion, and old bay seasoning on a white pizza).
The gluten free pizza isn't great. The crust was very crumbly and powdery.
Menu was easy to read. Pizza was good with a bready crust and very fresh toppings. The pizza alone was $10 which I think is reasonanble. Overall pretty good!
The best gluten free pizza I'VE ever tasted!!! I substituted the barbecue chicken pizza with a GF barbecue turkey pizza. ABSOLUTELY DELISH!!!!! As a military family we move a lot. So glad that we found Bottoms Up Pizza so close to Ft. Lee!!!!
Very good gluten free pizza's and salads! They even have dairy free cheese! One of the best gluten free pizza's that I have had.
The gluten free pizza itself isn't really all that great. However, there are other options here: the salads are pretty good, but what shines most for me is the portabella mushroom cap pizzas. I could eat those all day. The only downside is they're rather expensive, but so is everything else.
I would not call it the best gf pizza I have ever had but it is consistently good. I appreciate have clear gf options at this Richmond landmark.
This is the best gluten free pizza I have tried. It sure beats Donatos.
Best GF pizza I've had. It's fantastic.

A lovely quiche that all to lunch commented on, thanks for posting!
Wow Sandi, this is the nicest quiche I have ever eaten! I made small individual servings in some small stoneware bowls so I could serve straight from the oven and they also taste great cold. Because of the small size I garnished with sliced cherry tomatoes. I thought the whole grain mustard and corn kernels were really interesting additions and they tasted great.

Application July 19, 1949,Serial No. 105,614
The invention relates to the visual inspection of bottled goods, particularly beverages in transparent containers such as bottles, and has as an object the provision of a relatively simple form of apparatus whereby bottles of liquids may be visually inspectedwithout subjecting the inspector to tiring eye strain.
In a former patent issued to George P. Stout on October 11, 1938, No. 2,132,447, and assigned to Coca-Cola, -Inc., there is disclosed and claimed an apparatus and method for automatic inspection of liquid packages. The principle of this method utilizes the sudden change of illuminationof a photoelectric cell.
The apparatus of the present application constitutes an improvement over the apparatus disclosed in this patent as it can be manufactured relatively inexpensively, placing it within the resources of some of the smaller bottling plants.
At present, such plants which do not find the referredto expense justifiable or within their means are depending upon a common method of visual inspection according to which the bottles are illuminated individually or in groups, and are looked at individually by the inspector; which is very trying work, requiring a great degree of concentration. The required concentration is so onerous that it may safely be continued for only relatively short periods. Should the period of duty be unduly prolonged to the point of severe fatigue, the results of the inspection cannot be depended upon. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a machine which can be built at moderate cost and to this end supplants automatic mechanism by visual inspection, in such amanner as to remove necessity of tiring concentration on the part of the inspector.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a process of inspecting liquids packaged in containers, as to presence of or freedom from foreign bodies, which process may be carried out by the apparatus of the present invention or by many other forms of apparatus or by no apparatus other than a source of illumination and the hands of an inspector.
The process of the invention depends upon the application of three principles which, in the order of their importance are: 1st, the attentionattracting capacity of a moving object; 2nd, the Tyndall effect; and 3rd, the effect upon light reflection of its polarization.
The 1st principle is well recognized by hunted and hunting birds and animals including man. When an object inanimate or animate is motion- 5 Claims. (Cl. 88-14) less, it is to all purposes invisible since the attention of an observer will not be attracted to it. Any appreciable movement of the object Will, however, cause it to be seen. In the case of the normal human vision with the gaze directed forwardly, movement will be perceived at any point laterally through an angle of nearly 180.
This principle is made use of in the process of the present invention by causing the liquid in containers to move in the field of vision of an inspector, any foreign body contained in the liquid moving with it (preferably relatively to the wall of the container), and therefore attracting the attention of an inspector. The gaze of the inspector need not be concentrated upon the material under inspection. The attention of the inspector will be attracted by movement of any foreign body in the liquid, under the conditions provided by the invention, even though the mind of the inspector is not closely applied to inspection alone, so long as he is not deeply absorbed in other matters; and even though the foreign body approaches the microscopic.
The 2nd principle, the Tyndall effect is a common phenomenon mostoften observed when a beam of sunlight enters an otherwise darkened room and causes particles of dust to be clearly visible. Particles not usually visible are clearly seen when so illuminated.
The 3rd principle is utilized to prevent glare spots caused by reflection of light from a wall confining the liquid under inspection- Rays of light reflected from a surface at a low angle are polarized and produce glare. If the light striking the surface is polarized so as to vibrate in a plane cutting the reflecting surface or the surface is viewed through a polarizing substance, the glare is reduced or entirely eliminated if the plane of polarity is properly chosen.
In the practice of the method of the invention and in the apparatus of the invention it is preferred to polarize the light before it strikes the wall confining the liquid to be inspected as thereby it is not necessary for the inspector to use any special viewing apparatus; however, it is to be understood that the use of polarized spectacles is considered the full equivalent of illumination by'polarized light. The use of any polarization is preferable only and not essential to the invention.
' Further objects will appear when read in connection with the accompanying drawings where- Figure '1 is a front elevation;
Figure 2 is a horizontal section on line 22 of figure 1;
Figure 3 is a diagrammatic view illustrating the rays of light;
Figure 4 is a detail section in line 4-4, Figure 2, showing details of a brake structure; and
Figure 5 is a detail elevation of brake structure of Figure 4.
To achieve the objects of the invention, the
receptacles containing liquid to be inspected for.
liquid are stationary relative to. the contained liquid and illumination. In this condition the light is passed through the receptacles and liquid, whereupon the light will be reflected from the foregin body moving with the liquid so as to become plainly visible and will not be confused by foreign particles on the exterior of the con tainer.
To apply the Tyndall effect in the preferred manner, according to the present invention, the receptacles (as bottles) are rapidly revolved to bring the contents into revolution, whereupon the revolution of the receptacles is stopped, leaving the contained liquid in motion of revolution. In this condition, when light is passed through the containers and liquid the presence of any foreign body, even if very minute, promptly catches the eye of an observer.
In the preferred form of apparatus for practice of the invention in the inspection of bottled liquid, the bottles are spun, a brake is utilized to stop the spinning, the bottles are delivered to a conveyor, while liquid is still in revolution, and while on the conveyor are moved past a source or sources of light, while partially shielded from the light by opaque means formed with a slit to reduce the light to a narrow beam substantially as high as the height of the liquid.- A plurality of bottles are at all times in the field of view of an inspector. Preferably, for reasons given below, the light is polarized, and also. preferably the observer is located so as to view the liquid from a point at a horizontal angle to the path of the light, so as to visualize only reflected light.
As shown the apparatus of the invention utilizes a usual form of endless conveyor I upon which filled and capped containers are progressed along the bottling apparatus. To remove containers from the conveyor Hi there is shown a star wheel l l driven in timed relation with spinners l2 to which the bottles are moved by the star wheel in coaction with a guide fence [3.
To center and control the tops of the containers while spinning, there are shown revolubly mounted spring pressed caps 14 carried by a central standard 15 which revolves with the table carrying. the spinners I2. The caps are lifted to receive and release the containers and lowered thereon by stationary 34 cam. Each spinner I2 is mounted on a shaft l6 carrying a sheave H, the sheaves each driven by a belt I8 passing about pulleys 19. The structure of the turn table l carrying the spinners l2, the caps l4, and the spinning belt 18 is well understood, in the art, being similar to thatshown in the former patent above referred to.
The spinning of the containers is for the purpose of causing movement of revolution in the contained liquid. To cause relative movement between the liquid and its enclosure, there is shown brake means 35 shown as spring pressed against the lower surfaces of the sheaves I1.
To illuminate the liquid for inspection purpose there is shown a plurality of lamps 20. While separate lamps are shown it may be preferred to utilize a bank of fluorescent lamps to form-in effecta sheet of uniform illumination along the inspection area.
To restrict the light illuminating the liquid to a narrow beam there is shown a shield 2! (Figure 3) for each container, the respective shields being arcuate in plan, in height substantially the same as the containers, and the respective shields .pivoted to the .ones adjacent thereof by hinge loops 22 and pintle pins 23. Each shield is shown as provided with alight passing slit 24.
The series of shields is shown as joined into an endless chain of shields passing about and driven by star wheels 25, 26 driven synchronously with star wheels II and 12 by means not shown.
To guide the chain of shields there is shown an. upper guide rail 21 supported on a post 28 and a lower rail 29 lapping over the conveyor ID. A plate 30 of light polarizing material is shown for reasons given below.
To confine the containers in the shields 2| there is shown a wire 3! desirablypassing along the row of containers at aposition above their bottoms. To cushion the shields, against impact with the containers and provide a durable black background, a coating 32 (Figure 3) of rubber like material is indicated.
The invention is applicableto lighttransmitting liquids of various kinds and in various kinds of transparent containers. As illustrated the apparatus is particularly designed for bottled liquids as drinks.
In operation the bottles are spun while passing about the turntable and the spinning is suddenly checked at or just. before the time when the bottles are returned to the conveyor 19. An observer located at an inspectors position indicated at 33 will merely gaze in the general direction of the. passing bottles, whereupon any particle of appreciablesize moving with the liquid will attract attention by its reflected light.
The reflection upon which the inspection depends'will only be seen by an observerlocated at an angle of less than 186 from the light beam. While the angle is not critical it is found that best results are had if the angle R, Figure 3, is approximately 65. Inspection of Figure 2- will show that the angle R will be at a maximum as the bottles first ccmeunder inspection and will diminish as they travel. It is preferred to so locate the inspectors station that the angle B. will initially be about. and finally about 35 to cause the average angle to be. nearly. 65". When so arranged a particle will increase in visibility to a maximum at the optimum angle and then decrease.
When a foreign body is seen in any container the latter is manually removed by the inspector.
When the light used for test vibrates in all planes there is seen a glare point where the light enters the container and a lesser one at the-exit, due to reflection by the walls of the container. Use of polarized light avoids these distractions, i. e., removes reflected glare or highlights from the wall of the bottle.
The cushion layer 32 provides a black background for any illuminated particle of foreign matter present: With a clear liquid illuminated by a slit and with a hlacl; background the liquid is invisible and a particle of foreign matter in visible directly will be immediately prominent by light reflected from it.
Minor changes in the steps of the process of the invention and in the apparatus shown for carrying out the steps of the process, within the scope of the following claims, may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
We claim:
1. Apparatus for use in inspecting liquid packaged in light permeable containers comprising, in combination: means to cause motion of revolution of the liquid relatively to the container; means to move the containers past an inspecting station; shield members for the respective containers; means to move the shield members with the containers past said station; said shield members each formed upon an arc of a cylindrical surface, and partially surrounding the respective containers while moving therewith, each said shield member formed with a slit; and a source of light behind said slits to illuminate with a narrow beam the moving 1iq uid in the containers as they pass said station.
2. The structure of claim 1 in which a plurality of the shield members are flexibly connected into an endless chain of members; with means to transfer each member from a position of shielding an inspected container to a position to shield a container to be inspected.
3. The structure of claim 1 wherein the shield members have a surface which is non-reflective of light directed toward the container.
4. The structure of claim 3 in which the nonreflective surface is provided by a coating of resilient material applied to the member and presenting a cushion to impact of the containers.
5. The structure of claim 1 wherein the locations of the slits in the shield members and the inspecting station are so related that inspection at an angle of less than 180 to the beam of light passing the slit will result.

Men's Hockey Splits, Still Top of WCHA
SCSU's men's hockey team wrapped up their final regular season home stand of the season with a pair of WCHA meetings against Michigan Tech over the weekend. St. Cloud State was victorious on Friday night 5-3. SCSU went one for three on the power play in the contest, scoring during the first man advantage of the game. Drew LeBlanc made the game 1-0 early in the first period and from that point on SCSU dominated. The Michigan Tech Huskies made an attempt at a comeback in the third period, scoring three goals but were unable to get anymore pucks past goaltender Ryan Faragher. Faragher made 42 saves in the contest.
Saturday night was senior night, featuring a ceremony that honored the careers of Taylor Johnson, Ben Hanowski and Drew LeBlanc prior to puck drop. (Listen to KVSC's Senior Salute from the broadcast here.) The night proved to be an emotional turmoil for the SCSU as they fell to the unranked Huskies of Michigan Tech 5-1. Michigan Tech wasted no time scoring in the game notching their first goal at the :28 mark of the first period to take a 1-0 lead that they never gave up. St. Cloud State took 37 shots in the contest but only one was able to get past MTU's goaltender Jamie Phillips. Jimmy Murray scored the lone goal for SCSU with just under three minutes remaining.
St. Cloud State does remain in the top spot of the WCHA with a two-point lead over Minnesota and North Dakota. With the win Friday the Huskies secured a home ice spot for the first round of WCHA playoffs March 15-17th. St. Cloud State dropped in USCHO polls this week to eighth place and is now tied for tenth place in the all-important PairWise rankings.
The Huskies will battle for the MacNaughton this weekend when they round out the regular season in Madison, WI for a pair of games with the Badgers. Wisconsin is coming off a sweep last weekend at Nebraska-Omaha and is still in the hunt for a home ice spot. The KVSC Sports Department will provide live coverage from Madison, WI all weekend long. Listen on KVSC 88.1 FM both Friday and Saturday night, coverage begins at 6:45 p.m. The puck will drop at 7:07 for both games of the series.

Temperature-sensitive film for fresh produce
Apio Inc. Value Added Group of Guadalupe, CA, is among the first companies to use a new technology for fresh-cut produce packaging. Developed by Landec (Menlo Park, CA), the Intellipac(TM) technology is based on an unusual "side chain crystallizable" polymer having an internal "temperature switch." At elevated temperatures, when respiring produce needs more oxygen, the polymer becomes more permeable, allowing the necessary oxygen in.
But at lower temperatures when less oxygen is needed permeability automatically decreases. Unlike semi-permeable films for respiring produce which typically allow CO2 out and O2 in at a 1:1 ratio this new technology is said to maintain CO2/O2 ratios of anywhere from 18:1 to 1.5:1 depending entirely on what the specific produce requires. The gases will enter and exit at a predetermined ratio that maintains an optimal atmosphere. This new polymer technology is not intended to be a substitute for good temperature control but rather a solution to temporary and unexpected breaks in the cold chain during distribution and/or display. The polymers are applied as a coating to a substrate that Landec chooses not to identify. The coated substrate is cut into small patches roughly 2" x 2" and then applied to a bag by a hot-stamping system incorporated into the bag-making process. The patch covers several holes that are cut into the bag material through which gases enter and exit. While Fresh Express Farms of Salinas CA has been using Intellipac technology for portions of its foodservice business since 1995 Apio is the first to use the technology at the retail level. In its Eat Smart merchandising and distribution program Apio hand-packs three-lb portions of broccoli or cauliflower florets in three-side-sealed bags carrying the Landec patch and heat-seals them closed. The 2-mil low-density polyethylene bags are packed six per case and shipped to both supermarkets and club stores in refrigerated trucks. No longer does Apio require ice for these boxes significantly reducing weight and improving handling. Upon arrival at the club store back room personnel remove the bags from their cases and place them in a refrigerated display beside the other fresh-cut packaged foods. At supermarkets however the bags never make it to the consumer. The florets are emptied into a special bulk bin built right into the produce section. "It's a new way to merchandise value-added produce to consumers" says Landec sales and marketing director Lynn Biggs. At press time Apio wouldn't comment on the comparative economics of its new packaging program nor would the firm describe consumer response.

|ZARLINK SEMICONDUCTOR INC. Patent applications
|Patent application number
|Zoom Motor Noise Reduction for Camera Audio Recording - Zoom motor noise in a camera audio recording is reduced by detecting activity of the zoom motor, transforming a audio signal into the frequency domain during zoom motor activity, and scaling the frequency domain signal during zoom motor activity in each of a series of frequency bins by a scaling factor derived from a pre-stored zoom motor noise spectrum to produce a processed audio signal in the frequency domain. The processed audio signal is then transformed back to the time domain.
|Feedforward Synchronization in Asynchronous Packet Networks - To perform timing synchronization in an asynchronous packet network, remote timestamps representative of a transmitter clock at a transmitter are received over a packet network. These are compared with local timestamps representative of the timing of a local oscillator at the receiver to produce an estimate of the offset between the transmitter clock and the local oscillator at the receiver. This estimate is then used to generate update values for a digital controlled oscillator producing the output clock at the receiver. The system operates in a feedforward configuration wherein the local oscillator at the receiver serves as one input to the offset estimator.
|Clock Recovery Method over Packet Switched Networks based on Network Quiet Period Detection - A method of recovering timing information in a packet network, involves detecting quiet periods in the packet network when network packet delay variation (PDV) is low. A frequency prediction unit is trained during the quiet periods to learn output clock variations of a timing recovery unit to permit the frequency prediction unit to predict frequency update values for a local oscillator during non quiet periods taking into account the historical output clock variations during quiet periods. The output of the frequency prediction unit is used as the active frequency update values during non quiet periods.
|Reduction of Clicking Sounds in Audio Data Stream - Disclosed is a method of reducing clicking sounds in an audio data stream. The samples of the audio data are delayed by a predetermined amount in a sliding window containing a predetermined number of samples. The presence of a clicking sound in the delayed data within said sliding window is detected and the corresponding audio data replaced by substitute data derived from the audio data stream.
|MULTI INPUT TIMING RECOVERY OVER PACKET NETWORK - In a method of recovering timing information over packet networks, a receiver receives a plurality of packet streams over different paths from the same source. The raw delays experienced by the timing packets for each stream are filtered to provide a filtered delay for each stream. The filtered delays are weighted based on the quality of each stream, and the weighted filtered delays are then combined to form an aggregate delay estimate. Frequency adjustments for a local clock at the receiver are derived from the aggregate delay estimate.
|TIMING RECOVERY OVER PACKET NETWORKS - In a method of recovering timing information over packet networks, raw network delays are measured using timing packets sent between a transmitter and receiver. The expected delay is predicted using a minimum statistics adaptive filter to track local minima of measured time delays over a smoothing window. Only those incoming timing packets which meet a particular criterion relative to the expected delay within a smoothing window are selected, and a local clock is adjusted based on the measured timing delays from the selected timing packets.
|CLOCK CIRCUIT FOR DIGITAL CIRCUIT - A method of saving power in a digital circuit driven by a clock running at a rate R, comprising reducing said rate R to a lower rate R′ during periods when said digital circuit is operating at a capacity less than its maximum capacity, and wherein the change from rate R to rate R′ is carried out as a smooth transition.
|Phase Locked Loop with Optimal State Feedback Controller - In a method of recovering timing information over a packet network at a local receiver, timing information is received at intervals timing from a remote source and compared with a locally generated clock signal to generate an input signal y(k) subject to noise representative of the phase difference between the source clock signal and the local receiver clock signal. The input signal is applied to a state feedback controller, preferably including a Kalman filter, to generate a control signal with reduced noise. The control signal is used to control an oscillator in a way so as to reduce the phase difference and generate a slave clock.
|SOFT REFERENCE SWITCH FOR PHASE LOCKED LOOP - A phase locked loop includes a digital controlled oscillator and a number of phase detectors, each having a first input connected to a reference source and a second input coupled to the output of the digital controlled oscillator, and an output for producing a phase error signal. A loop filter coupled to the output of each phase detector has an output and a feedback input. An adjustment unit for derives an adjustment signal for the digital controlled oscillator from one or more of the loop filters by selecting or combining output signals from the loop filters taking into account the stability of said reference sources. The adjustment signal for the digital controlled oscillator produced by the adjustment unit is coupled to each of the feedback inputs of the loop filters. This arrangement results in hitless reference switching.
|METHOD OF TRANSFERRING TIMING INFORMATION OVER PACKET NETWORK - Timing information is transmitted over a network by sending time-stamped packets between a transmitter and receiver. The time-stamped packets are used to compute an estimate of the frequency deviation between the transmitter clock and the receiver clock. The local receiver clock is periodically updated to match the transmitter clock based on the estimate, which is preferably a least squares estimate. A multiple window approach is employed to increase update speed.
|FLEXIBLE WAVEFORM GENERATOR WITH EXTENDED RANGE CAPABILITY - A frequency synthesizer includes a first clock running at a frequency f
|PHASE LOCKED LOOP WITH ADAPTIVE FILTER FOR DCO SYNCHRONIZATION - A digital phase locked loop has a digital controlled oscillator, a feedback loop coupled to the output of said digital controlled oscillator, a phase detector for comparing a feedback signal from said feedback loop with a reference signal to produce a phase error signal, and a low pass filter for filtering the phase error signal for controlling said digital controlled oscillator. A bandwidth calculation unit calculates the required filter bandwidth based on the phase error. The bandwidth calculation unit then controls the bandwidth of said low pass filter, which is thus adaptively adjusted in accordance with the phase error.
|SCALEABLE VOIP TELEPHONE LINE CIRCUIT - A telephone subscriber line device for providing an interface between a legacy telephone circuit based on circuit-switched technology and a packet network has a legacy interface for connection to telephone circuit; a packet interface for connection to a packet network, processing circuitry for converting between legacy telephone signals and packet signals, and a cascadable expansion bus permitting multiple said devices to be connected to a common port on a packet network. Such a device is highly scalable.
|DIGITAL FM RADIO TRANSMITTER - A digital FM transmitter has a digital controlled oscillator for generating a modulated RF carrier. A digital signal processor receives digital input samples and generates a modulating signal for input to the digital controlled oscillator. A bandpass filter for filters frequency components of the modulated carrier outside a predetermined frequency band and supplies the filtered modulated RF carrier to an antenna.
|Double Talk Detection Method Based On Spectral Acoustic Properties - A method of detecting double talk condition in hands free communication devices is disclosed. In general, the method in accordance with the teachings of this invention detects double talk conditions based on inherent frequency response differences between the transducers used and acoustical effect on the spectrum of the returned echo signal. An input signal from a far-end talker and an input signal from the output from an echo canceler are received by the detector. K spectral subbands are created for each input signal. From this K subbands q subbands are selected based on inherent frequency differences between the far-end transducer and a near-end transducer. The spectral echo residual power is estimated at each subband. The estimated spectral echo power and the output signal from the echo canceler for a selected subband are compared to a predetermined threshold. Based on this comparison, it is determined whether double talk conditions exist based on the comparison.
|Spectral domain, non-linear echo cancellation method in a hands-free device - Disclosed is a non-linear echo canceller and method for cancelling echo during full duplex communication in a hands free communication system. An input signal from a far-end talker and an input signal from the output from an echo canceller are received. K spectral subbands are created for each input signal. The spectral echo residual power at each subband is estimated and compared to a clean signal power to calculate a signal to echo ratio. Gains are calculated based on each calculated ratio and non-linear echo is cancelled based on the calculated gains.
