Abstract: The charging method for the sealed nickel-cadmium storage battery of nominal capacity and variable temperature involves (a) first stage charging at an imposed current (11), where Imin ≤ I1 ≤ Imax, with Imin between O and C1, and Imax between 0.2C1 and 5C1, and I1 =  alpha C1(1 + aT), where  alpha  is between 0.2 to 5, and a is between 0 to 0.1, where T is the temperature ( degrees C), aT is a dimensionless product and C1 is the current corresponding to discharge of the nominal capacity in one hour. The method then involves (b) interrupting the first charging stage on fulfilling a termination criterion selected from (i) a voltage (U1, in volts), where Umin ≤ U1 ≤ Umax, with Umin between 1.45 to 1.75, and Umax is between 1.50 to 1.80, and U1 = Ui+bT, where b is between -0.005 to O, and Ui is between 1.45 to 1.75, and (ii) a temperature variation rate (dT/dt) of 0.3 plus or minus 0.2 degrees C/min., with the current (I1) and voltage (U1) being calculated and adjusted during the first charging stage according to the battery temperature change. The method then involves (c) a second stage charging at a voltage (U2, in volts), where Umin ≤ U2 ≤ Umax, with Umin between 1.45 to 1.75, and Umax is between 1.50 to 1.80, and where U2 = Ui + bT, with a current (I2) of maximum 0.21. The duration (t2, in mins.) of this second charging stage being given by the equation: t2 =  beta t1 + c, where  beta  is between 0.2 to 5, and c is between 5 to 60, and where t1 is the duration of the first charging stage, the voltage (U2) being calculated and adjusted during the second charging stage according to battery temperature change.

Abstract: The bottles to be cleaned pass in succession through an initial gate (6), a lye bath (5), and several spraying and flushing zones. After passing through the first spray zone, all or part of the processing water is extracted, and divided by reverse osmosis into salt-free clean water and saline residual water, being returned respectively to one of the spraying and flushing zones and the to bottle-cleaning machine. Immediately after extraction from the spray zone and cleaning in a filter, reverse osmosis is carried out. The residual water is returned to the gate (6), and fresh water is supplied to the machine dependent on the amount of clean water returned, typically to the last spray zone but one. The cleaned processing water can be neutralised before osmosis, and set to a pH value of between 7 and 12. After extraction, the water can be cooled, the heat recovered being returned to the water in the gate.

Abstract: A nasal dilator (10) that prevents the outer wall tissue (60,62) of the nasal
passages (54,56) of the nose (12) from drawing in during breathing
comprises a truss member (16). The truss member (16) includes a flexible

Abstract: The tyre chain has a number of grip elements set vertically to the tyre surface to grip into the road. The grip edges of the grip element are profiled to provide increased contact area with the road and hence a greater wear area to prolong the effective life of the chain. The profiling can be a simple press process which shapes the grip edges, eg. with a wavy pattern or it can be achieved by stamping the grip edges. The grip elements are arranged into a hexagonal cell shape in the chain with two sides of each hexagon at right angles to the direction of travel and the other sides angled to the direction of travel.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus having first and second basic cells
each containing a predetermined number of cells in a main
scanning direction and a sub-scanning direction and disposed
adjacent to each other in the sub-scanning direction, a
gradation processing portion (1006) arranged to perform a
gradation expressing process for each basic cell in accordance
with a density of a supplied image and a dot forming portion
(100) capable of forming dots on a recording medium to
correspond to each pixel subjected to the gradation expressing
process by the gradation processing portion. The gradation
processing portion (1006) performs the gradation expressing
process in such a manner that enlargement of dots in the first
and second basic cells adjacent to each other in the sub-scanning
direction is inhibited in the sub-scanning direction
until the dots are enlarged and connected to each other in the
main scanning direction. Thus, the distance in the sub-scanning
direction between dots in the first and second basic cells in a
low density region is kept to a predetermined width.

layer 16 is selected from a material which will protect the
underlying semiconductor layer 10 from the mechanism used to
alter the fuses formed above. For example, if a laser is used
to blow a fuse then the blocking layer 16 will not transmit
laser light. Preferably, a passivation layer 14 is formed
between the blocking layer 16 and the semiconductor layer 10.

Abstract: A multipoint-conference connection system
constructed by interconnecting a number of multipoint-conference
control units each including a large number
of conference-participating terminals, which can
conduct the conference by using the multipoint-conference
control unit with a lightened distributed
load, thus eliminating the need for a top-level
information control unit provided with a large capacity
database enough to conduct centralized control of a
whole system. Multipoint-conference connection units
(MCU) (1, 2, 3, 11, 12, 111, 21, 22, 31, 32) are
distributed to part-sets which are represented by sets
1, 2 and 3 respectively. The representative MCUs (1, 2,
3) conduct management of information within respective
part-sets and, if necessary, send an information
accessing request to other representative MCUs (1, 2,
3) of respective part-sets. In each part-set, the
component MCUs are hierarchically connected with one
another by respective hierarchical connection lines
(A11, A12, ....). The part-sets are connected with one
another by using respective peer-connection lines (1A2,
1A3, 2A3). This realizes easy management of information
within each part-set and a simplified communication
procedure for a whole conference domain. Furthermore, 
request signals and response signals are transferred
upwards and downwards over hierarchical connection
lines within the respective part-sets and exchanged
between the part-sets over a peer-connection line. This
allows the system to maintain the consistency and
unification of information through the conference and
have the interchangeability with existing prior art
hierarchical connection systems.
