Abstract: A method for inflating a cushioning devices comprised of at least first and second distinct chambers having an interconnecting passage which provides fluid communication between the chambers. The method comprises either: (1) limiting the volume of at least one of the chambers, filling the chambers with a fluid at a single inflation pressure from a single inflation point and sealing the interconnecting passage, or (2) filling the chambers with a fluid at a single inflation pressure from a single inflation point compressing at least one of the distinct chambers, and sealing the interconnecting passage. The method is particularly suited to manufacture of a footwear cushion comprised of a body of elastomeric material having a plurality of sealed non-communicating cells having a single inflation point.

Abstract: The flowmeter (10) uses two electrodes (22) positioned opposite one another across the channel (18) of a flow tube (12) made from synthetic material. The electrodes are made from a basic material, identical to or compatible with the material of the meter, within which is a finely-distributed, highly-conductive material suitable for the flowing medium under examination, such as carbon or metal fibres or a metal powder. To ensure firm fixing, the electrodes are fused with a connecting material (30) into the tube sides. The electrode surface (24) is positioned in relation to the inner wall of the tube (16) so as to allow free flow across it. A metal contact pin (26) provides the connection to the electrical cable (28). The use of non-metallic electrodes fused into the tube ensures reliable long-term use.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a communication apparatus which performs an maintenance operation in a short period of time, without using a communication apparatus which includes a special communication protocol on a maintenance side. In a facsimile machine 24, upon receipt of a DTMF signal on a communication line 1, the DTMF signal is supplied to a modem 8 through a relay 3 and a transformer T1, so that the modem 8 converts the received DTMF signal into a code signal such as 1 to 0, * and # and supplies the code signal to a CPU 16 through a data bus which is formed by a gate array 11 and a main gate array 23. The CPU 16 stores the code in a temporary storage RAM 19, digit by digit. In the meantime, when it is determined that the code signal is "96#," from a RAM 17, the CPU 16 reads a functional parameter associated with the number of a soft switch which is temporarily stored in the RAM 19. Among data regarding the soft switch, the CPU 16 changes data which are associated with a data number which is temporarily stored in the RAM 19 into a changed value which is also temporarily stored in the RAM 19 and writes the changed value in the RAM 17 again.

Abstract: In a computer controlled display system capable of supporting free form graphical input,
techniques for maintaining the topology of a node-link structure when nodes are moved (401).
When a node is moved, arbitrarily shaped links to other nodes will automatically be reshaped. The
manner in which links are reshaped will depend on where a node is moved relative to the node to
which it is linked. Various techniques for reshaping the node in order to retain the node-link structure
topology are provided. A link may be reshaped (404, 406) by curve transformation or flipping the
link shape about an axis (405). Curve transformation is a technique wherein the shape
characteristics of a link are retained no matter where the node is moved. However, links that
intersect, i.e. pass through, the nodes may arise from such reshaping. Various techniques for
correcting link intersection situations and include flipping the attachment points (409) of the links on
the nodes, truncating (412) and reattaching the link at the point where a link intersects a node or
rerouting the link (410) so that intersection is avoided.
