20120040597 | CARCASS CUTTING METHODS AND APPARATUS - Methods of automated meat processing including an end to end processing method in which carcasses are cut into major portions at a first robotic processing station and into minor portions at robotic processing sub-stations. In one processing method carcass portions are acquired by a robotic arm, imaged and then cuts performed without transfer. In another a first series of processing steps are performed by rotating carcass portions through a plurality of processing stations and a second series of processing steps are performed as carcass portions are advanced along a linear conveyor. In another processing method a plurality of clamps are employed to stabalise a saddle section during a flap cut. In another processing method split pins are used to position a saddle section for a vertebrae cut. In another method a spinal cord is removed by applying a pressurised fluid stream against one end of the spinal cord and applying suction at the other end of the spinal cord. | 02-16-2012 |

20130112194 | PROCESS FOR PROVIDING A FILLED CANISTER FOR AN INHALER - A process for filling a canister for an inhaler is provided. The canister may be filled with components of a medicament. The canister may be suitable for use in a pressurised metered dose inhaler, such as a breath-actuate inhaler. The process may include sealing the canister with air at ambient conditions. A filling device may dispense a pressurised liquid or gas into the sealed, air-filled canister through a metering valve. The pressurised liquid or gas may comprise at least a propellant. While pressure-filled canisters were previously purged with propellant immediately before sealing to remove the air, the present process may exclude the purging step. | 05-09-2013 |

20120159436 | Method of bypassing an autosar software component of an autosar software system - A method of bypassing an AUTOSAR software component of an AUTOSAR software system including two or more AUTOSAR software components connected via a runtime environment (RTE). To get a high flexibility and a close relationship to the AUTOSAR model of development an custom AUTOSAR software component is used to bypass all or part of the functionality of a selected AUTOSAR software component and provide that functionality to another AUTOSAR software component candidate or on some external system. | 06-21-2012 |

20090084624 | PORTED LOUDSPEAKER ENCLOSURE WITH TAPERED WAVEGUIDE ABSORBER - A loudspeaker enclosure has a first aperture in which a driver can be mounted, the driver having a first resonant frequency. A second aperture defines a port extending between the interior and the exterior of the enclosure. The port is tuned to a second resonant frequency. A sound absorbing element comprises at least one exponentially tapered horn having a mouth in communication with the interior of the enclosure. The horn has a cut-off frequency equal to or greater than the resonant frequency of the port, and preferably two to four times greater. The horn can be defined by tapering external walls of the enclosure, or by structures located within the enclosure which define a plurality of individual horns. The described enclosure combines the benefits of ported enclosures with those of enclosures employing tapered sound absorbing elements. | 04-02-2009 |

20090164250 | Device management portal, system and method - A device management system comprises a processor, a data storage device and a network connection. The data storage device stores weighting data associated with at least one ATM. The processor receives performance metric data from the ATM via the network connection and accesses the weighting data from the data storage device. The processor weights a portion of the performance metric data associated with the ATM with respect to a portion of weighting data associated with the ATM, to produce weighted performance data. The weighted performance data is used in estimating the number of customers unserved during a period of downtime of the ATM. | 06-25-2009 |
