Title: Procede et dispositif permettant de produire des articles tricotes
Inventor: NIKOLOV PETER RAICHEV
IPC: D04B39/00
Filed: 1998-09-24
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de tricoter des articles de bonneterie, qui élimine les inconvénients des techniques existantes. Le procédé fait appel à une technique de tricotage dans laquelle les étapes de formation des mailles sont écourtées, le report des mailles ne dépend pas de leur formation et les deux processus s'effectuent simultanément; la sortie du fil par traction est remplacée par sa poussée sur tout le trajet allant de la bobine à l'aiguille. Le fil n'est donc pas étiré à l'excès et la durée du tricotage des mailles est diminuée. Le procédé est mis en oeuvre au moyen d'un dispositif de tricotage qui ne comporte ni fentes pour les aiguilles, ni bords formant les mailles, ni mécanisme de pressage du fil, ni mécanisme de mise sous tension du tissu, mais dans lequel les fonctions de ces différents mécanismes sont reprises par un mécanisme de fixation de l'aiguille et par un mécanisme spécifique permettant de reprendre et de presser le fil (chet jack). En outre, l'entraînement de l'aiguille par le système de tricotage ou par des moteurs individuels est remplacé par un mécanisme dénommé "fusil", qui peut être électromagnétique, mécanique ou pneumatique. Ce dispositif de tricotage d'articles de bonneterie comprend les mécanismes suivants: mécanisme de fixation de l'aiguille, mécanisme d'entraînement de l'aiguille (de type "fusil"), mécanisme de sortie du fil par poussée et mécanisme de reprise du fil (chet jack).
Patent CA-2310387-A1 (CA)
Title: Antenna system and method for operating an antenna system
Inventor: GREVING GERHARD
IPC: G01S19/21
Filed: 1998-11-19
Abstract: The invention relates to an antenna system with a round receive antenna (M) and an auxiliary antenna (A1) whose receive signals can be combined in terms of amplitude and phase, to provide minimum reception in a desired direction of a given area. A further auxiliary antenna (A2) is disposed and can be coupled in such a way that at least one minimum reception is provided, whereby said minimum reception is directed in a precise manner in the above-mentioned direction of the given area and corresponds as far as direction is concerned to the above mentioned minimum reception provided by the above-mentioned first auxiliary antenna. The attenuation thus occurring with respect to the minimum reception produced by the first above-mentioned antenna and with respect to the minimum reception produced by the other auxiliary antenna is dimensioned in such a way that reception from a transmitter which transmits at a given minimal level is not impeded and the minimum receptions coinciding in one direction jointly result in higher attenuation to eliminate interference. A very narrow minimum is thus obtained. Satellite signals can be received in the other areas.

Title: Supporting network in telecommunications systems
Inventor: TORABI MOHAMMAD
IPC: H04M3/00
Filed: 2000-08-03
Abstract: The Supporting Network for telecommunications systems is inter-connected with the visited wireless communications network and offers a virtual home environment for subscriber requested services to subscribers' mobile terminals that are roaming within the wireless communication system. The Supporting Network treats the service provider concept as a complete network entity and not necessarily as a single or simple service platform that is bounded by the physical extent of the service platform. The deployment of the Supporting Network is possible in 3rd Generation wireless communications networks, 1st and 2nd Generation wireless communications networks, as well as in wireline communications networks. An essential service requirement is that roaming wireless subscribers should be able to use their mobile terminals and obtain the services for which they have subscribed, in different visited wireless communications networks, regardless of the subscribers' location in the wireless communication systems. The Supporting Network for telecommunication systems provides the desired services to the mobile subscriber terminal, directly through the inter-connection of the visited communications network with the Supporting Network. The network inter-connection is affected by the use of a unique Network-to-Network Interface protocol that enables a Supporting Network operator to become a purveyor of third generation mobile telecommunications services to subscribers who are presently served by wireless communications networks that are incapable of providing these services.

Title: Stabilized setting and hardening accelerator of low viscosity
Inventor: WOMBACHER FRANZ
IPC: C04B103/14
Filed: 2000-10-24
Abstract: Described are liquid setting and hardening accel-erators for hydraulic binders and such binder comprising mix-tures that preferably are alkali-free and chloride-free and that do not comprise any basic features. The setting accel-erators comprise as components aluminum salts, complexing agents, corrosion inhibitors and optionally inorganic and/or organic thickening or thixotropic agents.   In comparison with the use of alkaline accelera-tors, an essential reduction in the setting time and a faster development of high compressive strengths is achieved by the accelerators of the present invention. In comparison with commercially available alkali-free accelerators solid pre-cipitates of aluminum salts and thereby generated plugging up of the spray nozzles is avoided and the corrosion at the spraying devices is eliminated. Said advantages result in a great economic advantage due to less maintenance needed for the devices and less interruptions of work.
