Abstract: The invention relates to shear (1) for cutting sheet metal and the like, with continuous feeding along a cutting line. A blade (13) of the shear is mounted on a support (14) actuated by cam mechanisms (15), while the other blade (12) is arranged on a slide (5a) displaced back and forth transversely to the blades, being supported on sliding blocks (8) which are slidable along rails (7). Advantageously the slide is provided with columns (5b) which extend laterally with respect to the lower blade-carrying support (14), in such a way that the latter transmits its movement, by means of the columns, to the slide moving horizontally in synchronism with said support. The shear thereby obtained is compact like traditional rotating shears and is simplified by the fact that all the members for mechanical transmission of the movement to the two counter-rotating blade-carrying supports, have been eliminated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Catalyst for decomposing N<SUB>2</SUB>O, its use, and process for its production A process is described for the decomposition of N<SUB>2</SUB>O during nitric acid production by bringing the N<SUB>2</SUB>O-containg waste gas leaving the absorption column into contact with a catalyst which comprises at least one oxidic cobalt compound and at least one oxidic magnesium compound, under conditions which permit conversion of N<SUB>2</SUB>O to gaseous nitrogen and oxygen. The content of oxidic cobalt compounds is in the range from 0.1 to 50% by weight and the content of oxidic magnesium compounds is in the range from 50 to 99.9% by weight, based in each case on the total weight of the catalyst, and at least 30% of the Co atoms present in the catalyst are present in the trivalent state. The preparation of the catalyst involves dry mixing of the oxidic cobalt compounds and the oxidic magnesium compounds or of appropriate precursors which are converted into the oxidic compounds by heat treatment, and compacting the mix, with exclusion of water, so that the resultant catalyst has the desired envelope density.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for generating an animated character representation. This is achieved by using marked-up data including both content data and presentation data. The system then uses this information to generate phoneme and viseme data representing the speech to be presented by the character. By providing the presentation data this ensures that at least some variation in character appearance will automatically occur beyond that of the visemes required to make the character appear to speak. This contributes to the character having a far more lifelike appearance.

Abstract: A motorized window shade system (30) is described in which electrostatic charges, generated by a shade fabric (54) being reeled on to and off a roller (52) are connected to and grounded by a shaft (66) of a roller drive motor (100). The drive motor (100) is ultraquiet, and includes a worm gear drive and a single-stage reduction gear assembly (230) which delivers about 0.010 to 0.005 horsepower, with the motor shaft rotational velocity limited to no more than about 30 RPM. The motor (100) is mounted within a two-part housing (102,220) and is clamped between elastomeric acoustic dampers (240,241) connected between pedestals (230,231) extending from opposite interior wall surfaces to opposite side of the motor (100). An H-bridge drive circuit (301) powers the motor (100) under the control of a microprocessor which can be addressed by an infrared remote transmitter or by a wall mount control. Soft start and soft stop operation implemented by means of a computer program is employed to further reduce noise.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing voice latency in a voice-over-data wireless communication system. In a transmitter, audio information to be transmitted is first encoded using a voice encoder operating in a first mode of operation. At least one operating parameter in the transmitter is measured by a processor, the least one operating parameter proportional to a latency between the transmitter and receiver. If the at least one operational parameter exceeds a predetermined threshold, the voice encoder is instructed to operate in a second mode of operation. When the at least one operational parameter falls below a second predetermined threshold, the voice encoder is instructed to operate in the first mode of operation.

Abstract: In motor vehicles the problem often arises that additional lighting is required in the cabin, in places where a voltage supply and the mounting thereof in the cockpit can not satisfactorily be resolved. A plug-in rechargeable lamp ( 1 ) has thus been developed, which may be plugged into the 12V or 24V cigarette lighter socket with a light diode ( 13 ) as light source, which gives a multi-application light source which may be used anywhere. The use of a light diode renders the lamp insensitive to shock effects and contributes to the lifespan thereof. The threshold voltage of the light diode ( 13 ) is optimally matched to the final discharge voltage of the applied accumulator cells, such that a fill discharge of the accumulators is practically excluded.

Abstract: A device for producing an aqueous chlorine dioxide solution when placed in water. The device includes a membrane shell that defines a compartment which includes one or more dry chemicals (e.g., a metal chlorite and an acid) capable of producing chlorine dioxide gas when exposed to water. Wick means extend into the compartment for absorbing water and transporting water into the compartment such that the chemical(s) in the compartment dissolve in the water and produce chlorine dioxide. In one embodiment, the membrane is formed of a material that allows the passage of gas (e.g., chlorine dioxide) but is impervious to liquid (e.g., water). In another embodiment, the wick means is a wick member which divides the compartment into first and second compartment sections. One chemical (metal chlorite, for example) is contained within the first compartment section and another chemical (acid, for example) is contained within or can easily be placed in the second compartment section. When the device is placed in water, water enters the device by way of the wick means and possibly the membrane shell. The chemicals dissolve in the water and react to produce chlorine dioxide gas. The chlorine dioxide gas then passes through the membrane shell and possibly the wick member into the surrounding water transforming the water into an aqueous chlorine dioxide solution. The solution can then be used, for example, as a disinfectant solution.
