Abstract: An improved flexible respiratory mask facial seal, as well a respiratory mask incorporating such seal. The facial seal comprises an annular member including a peripheral sidewall bounded by an inner end and an outer end generally opposite the inner end. The inner end is adapted for attachment to the shell or body portion of a respiratory mask and the outer end defines a contoured sealing surface adapted for confronting sealing engagement with a user's face. The annular member is formed of a gel substance possessing resilience characteristics corresponding to those of human fat tissue. Preferably, the annular member is encapsulated in a thin, pliable, membranous covering to enhance the durability and washability of the facial seal. Because the facial seal simulates the resiliency of human fat tissue, the user experiences the sensation of a natural substance against his skin when the mask is donned.

Abstract: Two methods for partitioning the work to be done by a computer program into smaller pieces so that checkpoints may be done more frequently. Initially, a parallel task starts with one or more input data sets having q initial partitions, divides the input data sets into p partitions by some combination of partitioning elements (i.e., partitioners/gatherers), runs an instance of a component program on each of the p partitions of the data, and produces one or more sets of output files, with each set being considered a partitioned data set. The invention is applied to such a task to create a new, "overpartitioned" task as follows: (1) the partitioner is replaced with an "overpartitioner" which divides its q inputs into n*p partitions, for some integer factor n; (2) the component program is run in a series of n execution phases, with p instances of the component program being run at any time. In each phase, each instance of the component program will read one overpartition of the input data and produce one partition of output data; (3) at the end of each of the n execution phases, the system is quiescent and may be checkpointed. A first embodiment explicitly overpartitions input data by using known partitioner programs, communication channels, and gatherer programs to produce overpartitioned intermediate files. The second embodiment dynamically overpartitions input data by arranging for the component programs to consecutively read contiguous subsets of the original input data.

Abstract: A user system (2) recognises data as being either secure or general (non-secure). The data may be for performing on-line transaction processing or banking via the Internet. The user system (2) transmits the secure data from an ISDN circuit (6) on the D-channel, and the general data on the B-channel. The digital exchange (8) routes the general data via the Internet (12) to a service provider (3). A frame handler in the digital exchange (8) recognises the secure data in the D-channel and routes it via a physically separate telecommunications link (20) to the service provider (3). The alternative route (20) may include a management function connected by leased lines on each side to the exchange (8) and the service provider (3). The service provider (3) merges the secure and general data and performs the usual transaction processing operations. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A silicon-germanium hetero bipolar transistor comprising a silicon collector layer, a boron-doped silicon-germanium base layer, a silicon emitter layer and an emitter contact area. The transistor is fabricated using an epitaxy process on a surface of pure silicon. An electrically inert material is incorporated into the epitaxial layers in order to link the defects in the semiconductor structure and to reduce the outdiffusion of the dopant. Thus, a transistor for high-frequency applications can be fabricated in two ways: to increase the dopant dose of the base region or to reduce the thickness of the base layer. In particular, the concentration profile of germanium in the base layer has a general shape of a triangle or trapezoid.

Abstract: A parameter correlating with wave (5) profile, is measured (7) during successive traverses of the thermoplastic band. Each traverse commences in synchronism with smoothing roller rotation, for uniform measurement conditions. Values obtained, are compared with a desired measurement profile over the width of the band, feeding back signals to actuators on the extrusion plant (1), to control the inlet wave profile. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding equipment, in which one of the smoothing rollers (3, 4) causing induction, carries a trigger sensor (8), which always sets off the traversing measurement unit at the same angular position of the roller. The parameter correlating with the bead profile is the temperature, thickness or orientation birefringence of the band.

Abstract: Transporteur d'alimentation destiné à faire passer des pneus dans un système de contrôle d'uniformité de pneus, qui comporte un mécanisme de centrage de pneus et une paire de courroies transporteuses servant à acheminer des pneus dans un poste de contrôle de pneus. Un transporteur fixe doté de galets sur lesquels les pneus peuvent facilement glisser est fixé à un châssis qui supporte le mécanisme de centrage. Les courroies transporteuses passent autour de poulies respectives et sont soutenues par des rails de support fixés en porte-à-faux au mécanisme de centrage et s'étendant depuis ce dernier. Un élévateur de transporteur est levé ou abaissé par rapport au châssis de manière à lever ou à abaisser les rails de support et les courroies transporteuses de manière à ce qu'elles viennent en contact avec un pneu reposant sur le transporteur fixe ou qu'elles libèrent ledit pneu. Les rails de support et les courroies transporteuses sont réglables dans une direction latérale pour faire varier la largeur de l'espace séparant les courroies de manière à pouvoir accueillir des pneus de différentes tailles. Les courroies transporteuses sont entraînées par un actionneur pneumatique rotatif qui régule précisément la distance que les courroies doivent parcourir pour placer le pneu par rapport au poste de contrôle. Ledit transporteur d'alimentation est mécaniquement isolé du poste de contrôle si bien que des perturbations touchant le transporteur ne sont pas transmises au poste de contrôle. Le transporteur d'alimentation est mobile par rapport au poste de contrôle, si bien qu'il est possible d'inverser la direction de déplacement du pneu dans la machine de contrôle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a brake anchor plate for a drum brake with internal jaws of a motor vehicle. The inventive brake anchor plate is fabricated as a casting of light metal, especially aluminium or aluminium alloy, or a casting of a composite material based on a light alloy. The invention aims to provide a brake anchor plate which is lightweight and cost effective to produce but which has a high rigidity so that it can absorb the forces and torques applied by the jaws during braking, and transfer them to the steering knuckles. For this purpose, a peripheral collar is provided around the steering knuckle housing (5) with ribs extending from said collar substantially radially and outwardly, towards support areas (3) of the jaws. Said ribs (6) can be connected to honeycomb structures (10) located in the support areas (3). The steering knuckle housing (5) and a connection area (2) for the jaws can thus have a thicker layer of material than the other areas. A direct force is transmitted between the support areas (3) and the steering knuckle housing (5).
