Abstract: Eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Wickelfalzrohren aus Bandmaterial (3), das zumindest teilweise aus Metall besteht, umfasst eine Profiliervorrichtung (4) zum Ausbilden von Falzrändern (3a, 3b) am Bandmaterial (3), mindestens eine Führungsfläche (6a) zum Weiterführen des mit Falzrändern (3a, 3b) versehenen Bandmaterials (3), eine Biegeeinrichtung zum Umformen des Bandmaterials (3) mittels einer Umformfläche (7) in eine schraubenlinienförmige Teilfläche eines Zylindermantels, eine Falzschliesseinrichtung (12) zum verschliessenden Zusammenpressen der ineinander eingeführten Falzränder (3a, 3b) und eine Trennvorrichtung (15) zum Abtrennen von hergestellten Rohrabschnitten. Indem nun die Umformfläche (7), und vorzugsweise auch die mindestens eine Führungsfläche (6a), eine Kontaktfläche aus Kunststoff umfasst, können Verschmutzungen und Beschädigungen des Rohres bei seiner Herstellung vermieden werden. Besonders vorteilhaft sind bandförmige Umformflächen (7), weil sie einfach ausgewechselt und für alle möglicherweise benötigten Rohrdurchmesser mit kleinem Aufwand bereitgestellt werden können. Für die Lagerung von bandförmigen Umformflächen (7) bzw. Formbändern (8) wird nur ein kleiner Platz beansprucht. Die bevorzugten Formbänder (8) sind entweder aus Mono- oder Verbund-Kunststoff hergestellt, oder umfassen ein Metallband aus Federstahl, das mit reibungsarmem Kunststoff beschichtet ist. <IMAGE>

Inventor: DONALD DAVID K
IPC: H04B10/079

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for controlling transmissions over
an optical signaling network include one or more traffic detectors (30, 38, 42
and 44; 41 and 43) that are connected to an optical switch to receive
incidentally reflected light when the switch is in a transmissive state. The
switch is in the transmissive state when a fluid fills a fluid-manipulable
chamber (32), but is in a reflective state when the chamber is free of fluid.
The apparatus includes two inputs (16 and 20; 17 and 21) and two outputs
(18 and 22; 19 and 23). Typically, the inputs and outputs are waveguides
having an index of refraction which approximates the index of refraction of
the fluid. The traffic detectors monitor light which is incidentally reflected at
interfaces of the waveguides with the chamber. Under fault-free conditions
in which signal transmissions are detected to be normal, a first input is
connected to a first output and a second input is connected to a second
output. However, when a fault condition is detected, the two inputs exchange
outputs by reversing the state of the optical switch. In the preferred embodiment,
the fault-free condition is one in which the switch is in the reflective
state. However, the reflective state is disabled and the transmissive state is
established if a fault condition is detected. A prolonged absence of signal
transmissions along one of the inputs is indicative of a fault condition. With
the switch in the transmissive state, incidentally reflected light is monitored to
detect a return to the fault-free condition. The outputs are again exchanged
upon recognition of the fault-free condition. Optionally, the outputs are
monitored to detect reverse driven "request for resumption" signals, and the
reflective state is established if reverse driven signals are detected on both
outputs, regardless of the indication of a fault along one or both of the inputs.
In a second embodiment, the fault-free condition establishes a transmissive
state, with incidentally detected light being monitored to determine if a fault
condition requires a change to the reflective state.

Abstract: Railroad telemetry radios are tested by an automated method for  in
situ  testing, so that only those units requiring adjustment and maintenance
are removed. A multi-function test set is programmed to automate testing
of the radios used in a telemetry system in conjunction with other test
software embedded in the host telemetry devices. The radios contain both
a transmitter and a receiver. Both are individually tested to verify proper
performance. Receiver sensitivity testing of the radio is tested by bit error
rate (BER) measurement with test software and a dedicated BER
modulator. A known low amplitude message comprised of a short
pseudorandom pattern continuously repeated by the test set BER
modulator is demodulated by the radio receiver. The test software
processes the received data and counts the number of errorless messages
received over a specific period of time. The receiver sensitivity is known
to be acceptable if the number of correct messages received is higher than
a predetermined minimum value. The transmitter performance is tested by
measuring radio frequency (RF) carrier frequency, modulation frequency,
deviation and RF output power. The test set is programmed to
automatically measure these parameters, determine whether they meet
minimum requirements, prompt the technician as to pass/fail status, and
optionally display measured test data for use in radio repair, if required, or
for statistical purposes.

source, for boosting the absolute value of the potential
difference therebetween and charging the boosted potential to
a capacitor. This booster circuit has a plurality of

output of a comparator is input through a buffer. The output
of the comparator is at a low level when the second power supply
potential VSS is higher than a reference potential VREG, such
as when the power is forcibly cut, in which case the charge in
one of the plurality of capacitors is discharged, based on the
outputs from the first and second NAND circuits.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for
improving the ash characteristics of a paper wrapper
for a smoking article and for improving the ash
characteristics of the smoking article itself.
Specifically, it has been unexpectedly discovered that
the ash cohesiveness of a paper wrapper is noticeably
improved when carbon fibers having an average length
less than about 0.75 inches are incorporated into the
paper in an amount up to about 60% by weight. Paper
wrappers made with carbon fibers in accordance with
the present invention have superior ash
characteristics in comparison to paper wrappers
incorporating only flax or other cellulosic fibers.
Further, the ash cohesiveness of the paper is improved
without resulting in the decline in the quality of
other ash characteristics.

Abstract: To realize a low bit rate while maintaining the
image quality as much as possible despite using an image
compression standard predicated on a high bit rate which
is becoming the industry standard. Effective compression
by B-pictures enabling use of bidirectional prediction is
only possible when the image quality of the P-pictures
immediately before and after is maintained to a certain
extent. When the bit rate is extremely low, the image
quality of the P-pictures is poor, so effective
compression cannot be performed by B-pictures and the
image quality of the P-pictures further deteriorates
resulting in a vicious cycle. When the average quantizer
scale of B-pictures reaches the maximum value in the
state 0, it means that the compression efficiency of the
B-pictures has fallen, so the coder shifts to the state 1
and switches to coding at M=1 and not using the B-pictures.
Since interval between P-pictures is one frame
when M=1, the prediction efficiency becomes higher than
in the case of M=3 considering only P-pictures. When
shifting to a state 2, state 3, and state 4, pictures to
be forcibly skipped successively increase and the amount
of information generated is further suppressed.

Abstract: A method for protecting a portable card, provided with at least a crypto algorithm for enciphering data and/or authenticating the card, against deriving the secret key through statistical analysis of its information leaking away to the outside world in the event of cryptographic operations, such as power-consumption data, electromagnetic radiation and the like. The card is provided with at least a shift register having a linear and a non-linear feedback function for creating cryptographic algorithms. An algorithm is applied to the card, which is constructed in such a manner that the collection of values of recorded leak-information signals is resistant to deriving the secret key from statistical analysis of those values. Advantageously, after the key has been loaded into the shift register, the shift register clocks on, using at least the linear-feedback function. A suitable alternative is loading only the key into the shift register in the event of a fixed content of the shift register.
