The bell or cup valve communicates with the chamber through a plurality of individual clapper arranged parallel to one another. Each of the individual clapper valves block one passage orifice. The bell or cup valve has a water backflow outlet connection. The individual clapper valves include spheres of resilient material located adjacent seats arranged in a wall separating the chamber from the bell or cup valve. The wall includes separating barriers and a perforated back-up plate. The draining conduit is arranged vertically under the chamber. The main clapper defines a vertical axis extending into the chamber and is mounted slidably in a stationary bearing, while being pulled back constantly and elastically into a top open position of the main clapper valve. The main clapper valves also includes an element serving as a shock absorber for an end of a downstroke.

Abstract: Telephone answering devices are known which have a control unit, in particular a microprocessor, to control the different device functions and the exchange of switching information with the exchanges of the connected communication system, and a magnetic tape memory and/or a digital memory to store speech signals, e.g. announcements of the called subscriber, messages of the calling subscriber. To enable improved utilisation of speech memories with a relatively low storage capacity, the telephone answering device has, in a manner known per se, a device to generate signal tones and/or intercept tones. Once the message of the calling subscriber has been recorded, a tone signal generated by the device is transmitted to the calling subscriber instead of the end announcement. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting confidential facsimile messages, personal computers for inputting, retrieving and evaluating the messages being associated with the facsimile stations (transceivers). It is the object to ensure that PCs of a facsimile station can only retrieve a message stored there when this message was intended for this respective PC. The method is implemented by each PC having its own identification, that this identification is stored in it and all other PCs and facsimile stations, that the identification of their own PC and the identification of the required PC is added to each facsimile message and that when a facsimile message stored in the fax device is retrieved, the identification of the retrieving PC and the identification entered for the receiver by the transmitting PC are compared at the destination and that the message is only transferred to the retrieving PC when they correspond. This method can be applied in all facsimile networks having associated PCs. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electrode for an alkali metal electrochemical cell comprising a unitary conductive body having a pair of wing-like sections joined by an intermediate web section. The cell anode or cathode parts are in contact with corresponding ones of the electrode wing sections, and the electrode web section is adapted to be placed in contact with the cell conductive casing. This results in a case negative or case positive electrical configuration depending upon whether the anode or cathode parts are in contact with the electrode wing sections. In forming an anode-cathode sub-assembly the anode or cathode parts are joined to the electrode wing sections and then the electrode wing sections are folded relative to the electrode web section and toward each other in a manner to place the anode and cathode parts in operative contact with each other. The internal electrode and assembly method advantageously require only the electrode intermediate web section to be bonded to the cell casing thereby allowing the cell to be assembled in a relatively quick and easy manner. <IMAGE>

Abstract: According to a process for controlling a voltage transformer having a wide input voltage range for full sine mains current consumption, the input current of the voltage transformer is controlled or regulated in dependence on a current set value. The output voltage of the voltage transformer serves a a real input value for a regulator that generates a regulating signal in dependence on an output voltage set value. Said current set value is obtained by multiplying a signal that is proportional to the rectified input voltage of the voltage transformer by said regulating signal, as well as by a direct voltage signal that is inversely proportional to the peak value, the effective value or the mean value of the input voltage of the voltage transformer. This process is preferably used in a clocked voltage transformer, such as a blocking oscillator type converter, a high-pass or a high-low pass transformer.

Abstract: A case-based reasoning system which is smoothly integrated into a rule-based reasoning system, thus coordinating case-based reasoning techniques and rule-based reasoning techniques in a unified automated reasoning system, in which an automated processor may proceed by inferential reasoning on the facts of the problem and the cases by means of rule-based reasoning techniques or based on procedural directives supplied by a human programmer, and may select the case which is the best match for the problem, but may act differently from the precise action prescribed for that case. A technique for dynamically adapting the case base to the problems which the automated reasoning system encounters, in which the processor may create additional cases which may exemplify the problem or which may be useful for future problems, or may remove cases from the case base which it determines from experience are poor or obsolete. A technique in which the processor may be set to work with a limited case base, and may solicit human advice for treatment of new problems which are not already well-treated by the case base.
