A method for automatically forming dough-based products, such as doughnuts involves pressurizing a tank containing dough. The dough is extruded to form a flight of dough-based products. The weight of the flight of dough-based products is measured. The weight data is transmitted to a computer. The measured weight is compared to a predetermined weight stored in the computer memory. The pressure in the tank is adjusted automatically before subsequent extrusions.

A hybrid circuit for coupling a bidirectional telephone cable to two unidirectional cables is balanced automatically by employing an adjustable balance network and a control circuit. Optimum adjustment of the balance network is achieved over a frequency band of interest by employing a signal source having one or more frequency components within the frequency band of interest and by generating signals for controlling magnitude and phase components in the balance network. The magnitude control signal is representative of the difference between the absolute magnitudes of signals detected at the bidirectional cable connection to the hybrid and at the balance network connection to the hybrid in the frequency band of interest. Signals for controlling the phase components of the balance network are representative of the difference between the absolute magnitudes of the detected signals modified by a first prescribed weighting function less a component proportional to the phase difference between the detected signals modified by a second prescribed weighting function within the frequency band of interest. The weighting functions are obtained by employing a filter having a prescribed low-pass characteristic. The component values of the filter are determined by the locations of adjustable pole(s) and/or zero(s) within the frequency band. The filter characteristic may be adjusted during the balance process further to optimize the balance network adjustments.

Signals representative of information bits are converted from one binary code, for example, Gray code, to another binary code, for example, conventional binary, and vice versa, by advantageously employing optical couplers in conjunction with buffer amplifiers. The optical couplers include light emitting diodes and associated phototransistors which are uniquely connected in circuit relationship with the outputs of the buffer amplifiers to effect the desired code conversions.

Impedance settings are obtained automatically for manually adjusting a network to obtain a driving point impedance substantially equal to a particular unknown impedance. Discrete impedance settings for setting up, for example, a manually adjustable hybrid balance network are obtained by employing a hybrid network, a noise signal source, at least first and second automatically adjustable balance networks and at least first and second control circuits. An impedance to be matched, for example, a 2-wire telephone cable, is connected to the hybrid. Signals detected at the cable and at the inputs to the respective balance networks are employed to generate control signals for adjusting impedance elements in the automatically adjustable balance networks. Impedance elements in the first balance network are continuously adjusted to match substantially exactly the impedance of the cable. Then, the most sensitive of the corresponding control signals is rounded off to a discrete value and supplied to adjust a corresponding discretely adjustable impedance element in the at least second adjustable balance network. The second control circuit then generates signals for adjusting the remaining impedance elements in the second balance network to obtain the most optimum driving point impedance to match the cable impedance. Values of the impedance control are displayed in binary form to be used by a craftsperson for setting up a corresponding manually adjustable balance network to match the particular cable connected to the hybrid.
