International Classification:

A23K 1/10
B65B 25/06
G07F 9/10

US Classification:

426129, 426392, 426302, 426410, 426250, 426316, 426324, 99356

Abstract:

A process for making pet food treats including a meat base, the treats themselves and a processing system for making the treats. The meat base is ground to obtain a ground meat base. The ground meat base is mixed with one or more ingredients to obtain a meat mixture. Slugs of the meat mixture are formed. The slugs of meat mixture are cooked to obtain cooked slugs of meat mixture. The cooked slugs of meat mixture are chilled. The cooked slugs of meat mixture are packaged while reducing the amount of oxygen in the package.

Appl. No.:

8/545951

Inventors:

Christopher M. Mullins - Yonkers NY

John P. McDonough - Harrington Park NJ

Assignee:

Sensormatic Electronics Corporation - Deerfield Beach FL

International Classification:

H04N 714

US Classification:

348 6

Abstract:

A video surveillance system includes a remotely controllable video camera which generates a video signal, a video switch, a cable for transmitting the video signal from the video camera to the video switch, a control circuit connected to the cable for generating control signals to be transmitted to the video camera via the cable, and a control signal receiver associated with the camera and connected to the cable for receiving the control signals transmitted via the cable. The control signal receiver includes a detection circuit for automatically detecting the length of the cable and generating an adjustment signal indicative of the detected length of the cable. The control signal receiver also includes an adjustable circuit element which is adjusted on the basis of the adjustment signal so as to compensate for the detected length of the cable. The automatic cable compensation in the control signal receiver provides reliable detection of the camera control signals. Automatic cable-length compensation of the video signal is also provided on the basis of the adjustment signal.

Filed:

Dec 23, 1974

Appl. No.:

5/536042

Inventors:

Thomas J. Ray - Yonkers NY
Glenn C. Waehner - Riverside CT

Assignee:

United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT

International Classification:

H01J 2952

US Classification:

315381

Abstract:

The phosphor screen of a cathode ray tube (CRT) has its phosphor coating protected against damage caused by a stationary or low sweep velocity electron beam that strikes its surface, by removal of the video signal that controls the beam whenever there is a simultaneous presence of video signal and absence of a proper horizontal or vertical sweep signal.

Appl. No.:

5/555319

Assignee:

United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT

International Classification:

H01J 2956
H01J 2966

US Classification:

315371

Abstract:

A cathode ray tube employing magnetic deflection coils for deflecting the electron beam in the horizontal and vertical directions, is corrected for the astigmatism error created by the non-uniform magnetic deflection field which causes a predictable elliptical distortion of the electron beam, through the use of two sets of correction coils mounted on a common annular magnetic core located on the neck of the CRT, which distorts the electron beam prior to its entry into the magnetic deflection field in a manner that is complementary to the distortion created by the non-uniform magnetic deflection field. The excitation currents for the correction coils are derived from the horizontal (Vx) and vertical (Vy) beam deflection voltage signals, in such a manner that the excitation current for the first correction coil is proportional to Vx. sup. 2 - Vy. sup. 2, and the excitation for the second correction coil is proportional to 2. sup. Vx. sup. Vy.
