Abstract: A method for producing a textile with adhered pile involves feeding a fibrous net or layer forward. In a pre-looping stage, the fibres are looped transversely to the feed direction. This may be accompanied by transverse stretching. The fibres and/or filaments, formed parallel to each other as loops, then undergo a stage of confinement. This stage takes place directly onto a support, without intervention from transport devices such as needles. Also claimed is the equipment for producing the textile and the textile so produced.

Abstract: The present invention is related with a refrigerator door the inner and exterior faces of which are coated with plastic material and which does not contain polyurethane in its insulation system. In the refrigerator door according to the present invention that provides the insertion of a combined structure, prepared in advance in a mould assembly consisting of two materials, namely a vacuum insulation liner (4) and an expanded polystyrene (5), into the insulation gap between the plastic liners (2, 3) forming the inner and exterior surfaces; as the vacuum insulation liner has better insulating properties compared to polyurethane, it has been possible to reduce the insulation thickness and thus to enlarge the inner volume of the refrigerator. Due to the fact that no polyurethane has been used in the insulation system and since the selected materials can easily be disassembled, an insulation system which can be completely recycled after completing its service life, is obtained.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method wherein several unidirectional webs (30a, 30b, 30c) are stacked in different directions and mutually linked. At least one of the unidirectional webs is produced by spreading a cord until a uniform thickness, width not less than 5 cm and mass per unit area not more than 300 g/m2 are obtained, the web being provided with cohesion for manipulation before being stacked with other webs. Advantageously, the unidirectional webs are made of carbon fibres and obtained by stretching heavy cords.

Abstract: An architecture and system uses a smart card for payment of goods and/or services purchased on-line over the Internet. A client server on a client terminal controls the interaction with a consumer and interfaces to a card reader which accepts the consumer's smart card. A payment server on the Internet includes a computer and terminals that contain security cards to handle the transaction, data store and collection. Also connected over the Internet is a merchant server advertising the goods and/or services offered by a merchant for sale on a web site. The merchant contracts with an acquirer to accept smart card payments for goods and/or services purchased over the Internet. A consumer uses his smart card at the client terminal in order to purchase goods and/or services from the remote merchant server. The Internet provides the routing functionality between the client terminal, merchant server and payment server. The client terminal emulates a security card in interacting with the smart card, and the responses received are grouped together and sent as a draw request message to the payment server. The payment server then emulates the smart card in an interaction with the security card. The security card delivers the expected smart card signature to the payment server and/or on to the client terminal or merchant server to reduce message traffic between the entities on the network. The comparison of the smart card signature to an expected value can occur at any location. Encryption is used for security.

Abstract: Instrumentation for osteofixation including a locking bone plate and a surgical drill guide. The plate has a plurality of fastener holes with inner walls of a preselected hole diameter. The drill guide has a guide member, for guiding a drill bit, and a hollow collet disposed substantially coaxially with the guide member. A radially expandable forward end of the collet comprises a radially expandable neck and an outwardly projecting rim disposed forward of the neck. This rim defines a contracted outer rim diameter that is smaller than the hole diameter in a contracted collet position, and an expanded outer rim diameter that is larger than the hole diameter in an expanded position. Thus, the rim is freely extractable through the plate hole in the contracted position, but is unreceivable through the plate hole in the expanded position. The collet neck is configured and dimensioned to press outwardly against an inner wall of the plate hole when the neck is expanded.

Abstract: A system for providing passive dust control for a transfer of bulk material from a first station to a second station in a material handling system. A dust containment housing encloses a first station and a second station. Bulk material is transferred from the first station to the second station inside the dust containment housing. A region of low pressure inside the dust containment housing is defined by a circulation compartment. Air carrying suspended particles of bulk material flows from a region of high air pressure generated by the transfer of bulk material to the region of low air pressure. The suspended particles of bulk material either remain suspended in the air inside the housing or settle out of the air into the bulk material inside the housing.
