Title: Size independent modular web processing line and modules
IPC: B65H23/188
Filed: 1986-11-10
Granted: 1990-11-07
Abstract: Modular web processing units (100) may be physically and electrically assembled into clusters to perform various web processes (e.g. the production of paper forms such as invoices, checks, labels, etc.). Each module (100) has a main process driver (12) which is not directly coupled to a web drive mechanism. Rather, the web drive is programme controlled so as to effect the desired web process at controlled displacement intervals along the web. Accordingly, a plurality of successive but different form lengths or depths can be accommodated as the web surface is sequentially processed. A system of such modules (100) can be physically wheeled into position as individual units and electrically connected together by suitable umbilical cords (140) to rapidly configure a desired overall web finishing process. Nevertheless, the entire ensemble of modules performs as though it is a unitary special purpose web processing machine with its various process stations interconnected and synchronized by an electronic <<drive shaft>>. One of the modular units automatically becomes the master source of process drive pulses for the others and the entire ensemble may be controlled from the control panel (132) of any one of the modules.

Abstract: The method for monitoring subscriber's lines (AL1 to ALn) connected to a data switching or data transmission installation (EDS) to detect the occurrence of interference which acts as an additional polarity alternation in a polarity-alternation-based transmission of data signals is such that, in the data switching or data transmission installation concerned, at periodic intervals for a predetermined length of time, the number of polarity alternations occurring on the subscriber's lines is determined for each individual line. If this number is greater than a predetermined number which is dependent on the data signal transmission speed used, the subscriber's line concerned is switched to a condition which does not interfere with the operation of the data switching or data transmission installation. <IMAGE>

IPC: C12P21/02
Filed: 1987-08-14
Granted: 1994-03-09
Abstract: The present invention overcomes problems of precipitating an intermediary complex and/or rapidly deactivating enzymes associated with known methods. It provides a membrane method for the enzymatic synthesis of peptides accomplished by shifting the chemical equilibrium that exists in a reaction mixture between charged or ionized reacting amino acids and uncharged or non-ionized peptide product in the presence of a proteolytic enzyme such as thermolysin. The equilibrium is shifted by diffusion of the uncharged peptide product across an ion-rejection membrane which removes the uncharged peptide from the reaction mixture and preferably the diffused uncharged peptide is quickly converted to a charged species that cannot back-diffuse into the reaction mixture so that the uncharged peptide is effectively ''pulled'' across the membrane. An enzymatic conversion of the uncharged species utilizing an esterase such as aminoacylase I is disclosed. Copermeating reactants can be separated from the product mixture and returned to the reaction mixture. Also, the ion-rejection membrane can be utilized to resolve enantiomers of racemic carboxylic acids including D,L-amino acids.

Abstract: The invention relates to a crown-fixing device for an implant to be inserted in a jawbone, with a connection piece for a prosthetic crown part which can be secured on the implant at the coronal side, a buffer of elastic material being arranged between a coupling piece of the implant and the crown connection piece. In order to provide a crown-fixing device of the generic type, which is not only easy to handle but also in the long term practically rules out the occurrence of radial fissures and micro-cavities, the invention proposes that the elastic buffer (3), at least in the areas of its outer bearing surfaces, should be connected securely to the corresponding areas of the front faces of the coupling piece (1) and of the crown connection piece (2). The elastic buffer (3) is designed in the shape of an annular disc. The one end part (4) of the coupling piece (1) has a threaded bore (5) passing through it, which bore merges into a cylindrical recess (6) of greater diameter at the other end part (7).

Granted: 1993-06-30
Abstract: In multi-color reversal development, good color balance is obtained by changing the time duration of exposure for each different color frame. A dot printer apparatus (10) produces a series of different color-resolved electrostatic latent images on a recording member (11). The apparatus includes an array of discrete elements (30) for dot recording on the recording medium. The elements are selectively enabled for predetermined periods of time during a cycle of operation to form a color-resolved electrostatic latent image on the recording member. Each charge latent image is developped with selected toner particles according to its resolved color. A control signal representative at least in part of the resolved color of each latent image is produced, and the control signal determines the enablement time of the elements during each cycle of operation according to each resolved color.
