摘要： An apparatus and method for case packing flexible product-containing bags is described. Rows of flexible product-containing bags are fed onto a tongue assembly. The tongue assembly has a flat plate which guides the bags into a carton, a movable lip which supports the bags from below and means for moving the lip from a bag-supporting position to a non-supporting position. The tongue assembly containing the bags is inserted into the carton and the movable lip is moved into a non-supporting position, allowing the bags to drop into the carton. The flat plate is also used to partially compress bags which have already been deposited in the carton.

摘要： A method, apparatus, and carrier medium for determining channel state information (CSI) in an OFDM radio receiver. The receiver is for receiving packets of OFDM data as a result of OFDM data being transmitted. The method includes forming an estimate of the channels of the subcarriers for received OFDM data to provide frequency responses of the channels of the subcarriers, and forming a measure of quality (“channel state information,” “CSI”) for the channels of the subcarriers based on the relative strength of the frequency responses. The forming of the CSI does not require estimating the relative amount of noise or interference in each channel. The formed CSI is used in demodulating and decoding received OFDM data.

摘要： A radio receiver for implementing the physical layer receiving function (PHY) of a wireless data network includes a receive processing pipeline for processing samples of a received packet of data. The samples enter the receive processing pipeline at a first sample rate. A counter generates a running count indicative of the number of samples that have entered the processing pipeline. A comparison unit coupled to the counter determines from the running count if all the samples of the received packet have entered the pipeline. An output of the comparison unit indicates whether or not all samples have entered the pipeline. A clock unit coupled to the comparison unit output provides a clock signal to the pipeline, causing the processing pipeline to process the samples entering the pipeline at a first rate compatible with the first sample rate until the comparison unit output indicates that all samples have entered the pipeline. Thereafter the clock unit causes the processing pipeline to process the samples in the pipeline at a second rate higher than the first rate until the last sample of the packet has been output by the pipeline. The processing latency for processing the complete packet is thus reduced from the case of the processing pipeline processing the samples all at the first data rate.

摘要： A dispenser for distributing food seasoning and other cohesive solids includes a rotating auger enclosed by a tube which is fed via a hopper. The auger is divided into two sections, each with a different pitch. In a first metering section, the pitch is narrow to facilitate accurate metering of the seasoning. This is followed by a distribution section of higher pitch which reduces the bulk density of the seasoning so that it passes easily through a series of apertures in the tube. A sleeve is slidably secured to the tube and has a series of apertures registerable with the apertures in the tube. By adjusting the degree of register, the seasoning can be distributed evenly along the entire length of the distribution section. The tube contains a second set of apertures located about 180.degree. from the first set, and which are used for distribution of non-cohesive, small particle size material, such as salt. The dispenser may be mounted in a rotating drum and used for seasoning snack food, such as potato chips and the like.

摘要： An apparatus, a carrier medium storing instructions to implement a method, and a method in a node of a wireless network able to receive packets that exactly or substantially conform to a wireless network standard according to which each packet includes a header having bits that have respective correct values in the case that the packet exactly conforms to the standard. The method includes receiving a start-of-packet (SOP) trigger that indicates that a packet may have been received, checking one or more bits in the header to determine whether or not they have their respective correct values, and continuing to process the packet in the case that the checking indicates that the checked bits have their respective correct values. In one implementation, the header includes a first field modulated at a known rate that has one or more reserved bit locations, and a second field modulated at a data rate indicated in the first field. In such an implementation, the checking includes processing the first field and checking one or more bits in the first field to determine whether or not they have their respective correct values, and, if the checked bits of the first field have their respective correct values, checking the second field for integrity.
