Title: Stamp with inkpad
Inventor: HENRIKSSON KLAS
IPC: B41K1/02
Filed: 1979-11-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a stamp, in particular of the type constructed for being portable in a bag or a pocket, and being easily preparable for use. The stamp is of the type where a stamp block is displaceable between a position abutting the inkpad, and an operating position in which the stamp block is abuttable against a surface to be provided with a stamp print. A stamp according to the invention has an arm 14, carrying the stamp block 18 in a swingable way. The arm 14 is swingably connected to a retainer part 2 for enabling the stamp block 18 to swing between the position abutting the inkpad 40 and the active position at a distance from the inkpad. The stamp further comprises a link device 22, turning the stamp block, at swinging of the arm for moving the stamp block, between a position generally in parallel with the arm and a position crosswise to the arm in the active position. <IMAGE>

Title: Procedimento e apparecchiatura per la ripetizione indirizzata e comandata con l'intensita' del segnale in un sistema radiotelefonico mobile
IPC: H04W36/16
Filed: 1992-10-01
Granted: 1995-11-10
Abstract: In un sistema radiotelefonico mobile, una stazione base che riceve una richiesta di servizio da una stazione mobile accerta se la richiesta di servizio può essere accettata a seconda delle disponibilità dei canali vocali nella stazione base e, se la richiesta di servizio non può essere accettata, confronta l'intensità misurata del segnale della richiesta di servizio con almeno un valore di soglia. Se l'intensità del segnale supera la soglia, la stazione mobile è indirizzata a ripetere la richiesta di servizio su uno o più di un primo gruppo di canali assegnati a stazioni base confinanti. Altrimenti, la stazione mobile è indirizzata a ripetere la richiesta di servizio su uno o più di almeno un secondo gruppo di canali assegnati a stazioni base confinanti. Di conseguenza le ripetizioni indirizzate più prossime all'interno di una cella possono essere limitate o eliminate, mentre invece le ripetizioni indirizzate verso la periferia della cella possono essere liberamente consentite oppure limitate meno severamente. Poiché l'interferenza è maggiore dalle stazioni mobili che trasmettono più vicino all'interno di una cella sulla frequenza di una cella adiacente di quanto lo sia da quelle stazioni mobili che trasmettono dalla periferia della cella, l'interferenza risulta pertanto ridotta.

Granted: 1997-09-21
Abstract: A wastewater treatment plant for removal of organic matter, suspended solids and other pollutants comprising a pre-treatment chamber, a biofilm-aeration chamber and a settling chamber. Biofilm grows on biofilm support structure which is stationary and submerged in the mixed liquor of the biofilm aeration chamber. The combination of submerged or surface aeration and suspended solids particle size reduction occurs thereby creating a sufficient fluid flow within the biofilm aeration chamber. This combination of sufficient fluid flow, and reduced size suspended organic particles results in the efficient digestion of organic matter and pollutants by the biofilm growing on the biofilm support structure submerged in the biofilm aeration chamber. This results in a vastly more effective digestive process than conventional processes producing no sludge. Further, resulting treated effluent has a high dissolved oxygen content and low BOD and SS. The apparatus and process has the following advantages: low MLSS concentration, short biofilm incubation time, no clogging of the system, good response to shock loading, high DO in the effluent, consistent effluent quality, sludge is eliminated, wastewater treatment duration is shortened, the process is not temperature sensitive, plant design is greatly simplified, plants of the present invention are small by comparison to conventional plants, the present invention can be a significant step in the treatment of drinking water, energy consumption during treatment is low, the present invention is very cost effective, the process permits other purification processes to be used and the process is volumetrically and BOD insensitive.
