Title: Method and apparatus for the intermediate storage and/or rearrangement of printed products in scale formation
Inventor: STAUBER HANS-ULRICH
IPC: B65H75/00
Filed: 1992-03-17
Granted: 1999-08-24
Abstract: As a result of the described method printed products, which are obtained as a scale formation from a processing stage (10) are intermediately stored and rearranged in such a way that it can again be supplied for further processing to a processing stage (20) as a scale formation, which can have a different number of scale flows, different speeds and a different sequence of different printed products. The method takes place in three method zones.   In the first method zone (1), which is connected on to the processing stages (10 and 20), the scale flows (S) are wound onto roll cores (WK) or rolls (w) are unwound to scale flows (S). In the second method zone (2), the rolls (W) and cores (WK) are transported between the storage station and the winding station and storage units (horizontal roll pairs (WP) and core flanges (R)) are formed and dismantled. In the third method zone (3) the storage units (WP, R) are store introduced and removed. In all the method zones handling takes place of printed products and auxiliary storage means, solely constituted by the roll cores with strips or bands. An advantageous feature of the inventive method is that the apparatuses used in the individual method zones are method zone-specific and not product or auxiliary storage material-specific.

Granted: 1994-05-31
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure Asphaltic roofing material, such as roll or shingle roofing, employs Class F fly ash as the filler to the asphaltic base material.  The fly ash is more readily heated than conventional crushed limestone which has been used as a filler, and further promotes a more rapid cooling of the composite asphaltic web prior to rolling or cutting into shingles.  The Class F fly ash comprises between 40% and 70% of the hot asphaltic mixture, by weight.  It may be delivered to the roofing plant in a state of elevated temperature from the fly ash source to reduce the requirement for preheating the fly ash or eliminating the preheating step altogether.  The slightly acidic content of fly ash discourages the growth of fungus and mold on the roofing material in hot and humid climates, and the resulting shingle has greater overall flexibility and resistance to cracking at low temperatures, as compared to a shingle in which crushed limestone is used as the inert filler.

Granted: 2000-10-03
Abstract: A process is disclosed for separating cobalt in the form of cobalt (III) hexammine sulphate from an aqueous solution containing cobalt (III) hexammine sulphate and nickel (II) hexammine sulphate comprising adding ammonium sulphate to provide an effective amount of ammonium sulphate, ammoniating the solution with an effective amount of ammonia at a temperature whereby the triple salt of cobalt (III) hexammine sulphate. nickel (II) hexammine sulphate and ammonium sulphate is precipitated, recovering the precipitated triple salt from the solution, and repulping the triple salt with an effective amount of water or aqueous ammonia solution to selectively leach nickel (II) hexammine sulphate and ammonium sulphate to produce a crystalline cobalt (III) hexammine sulphate with a Co:Ni ratio of at least 100:1. In a preferred embodiment, the aqueous solution is produced by leaching nickel-cobalt sulphides in an ammoniacal ammonium sulphate solution under an elevated pressure of an oxygen bearing gas such as air or oxygen and at an elevated temperature with an effective ammonia to metal mole ratio to oxidize nickel and cobalt sulphides to sulphates and to produce an ammoniacal leach liquor in which dissolved cobalt is predominantly in the (III) oxidation stage.

Title: Adaptive maximum likelihood sequence estimator using channel estimators of respective order of impulse response
Inventor: OKANOUE KAZUHIRO
IPC: H04L25/08
Filed: 1992-05-29
Granted: 1996-11-26
Abstract: An adaptive sequence decoder comprises a maximum likelihood sequence estimator for deriving a decision sequence of a received signal in response to a control signal. Channel estimators of zero-th to m-th order of channel impulse response are connected to the MLSE to produce a first signal representing a respective order of a replica of a transmitted signal and a second signal representing a respective order of channel impulse response. The first signals from the channel estimators are summed to produce the replica of the transmitted signal for comparison with the received sequence to produce an error signal, and the second signals are summed to produce the control signal. At periodic intervals, the MLSE control signal is initialized and the zero-th order channel estimator is reset to the initialized control signal, and the other channel estimators are reset to respective initial values to prevent time dispersion.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing personal identification and/or verification at predetermined stations (10) or checkpoints is provided. Each person to be identified has a unit (12) such as a card, badge or other token or device which stores a predetermined coded value, at least a predetermined portion of which is changed at selected time intervals in accordance with an algorithm, the algorithm being such that the value of the predetermined portion of the stored coded value at any given time is nonpredictable. The unit (12) has a triggering signal generator, the unit (12) being responsive to the triggering signal to present an indication of the current stored coded value to the station (10), the station (10) responding to the predetermined coded value for identifying the person. Triggering may be in response to detection of a predetermined beacon from the station (10) in reponse to a user keypad (36) input or may be periodically generated. Security may be enhanced by the person inputting a unique PIN at the unit (12) which PIN is utilized in generating the nonpredictable codes. The PIN input may also be used for triggering. Verification may be achieved by including a public code as part of the code which is predented from the unit (12) which public code is not changed.

Title: Apparatus and method for forming cable
Inventor: PASTA JOSEPH
IPC: B05D7/20
Filed: 1993-03-24
Granted: 2002-12-17
Abstract: A cable, which may be a fiber optic cable, includes a plurality of conductors which are twisted together. A tape with a layer of superabsorbent powder thereon, is wrapped around the conductors. A sheath is formed around the outside of the tape. If a leak should occur, the superabsorbent powder absorbs moisture and expands to block further entry of moisture into the cable. The tape is formed by applying a layer of adhesive to a strip of flexible material. The adhesive is advantageously applied in a helical pattern which is spaced from longitudinal edges of the tape. The superabsorbent powder is then applied to the adhesive. A suction head removes excess superabsorbent powder from the tape. The tape is then wrapped around the conductors of the cable. The adhesive may be a sealant material which is applied to the conductors before they are wrapped with the tape.

Abstract: A cellular telephone subscriber who wishes directory assist nce services is connected in the conventional manner to an operator who identifies a destination teleptone number desired by the subscriber-As in the prior art, the operator then initiates a call con~~cting the subscriber to the destination telephone number. However, rather than dropping all further involvement with the call, the preferred embodiment of the present invention continually monitors the connection thereby established for a predetermined DTMF signal issued by the customer, such as that obtained by pressing the "*" button. If such a signal is detected, the customer is transferred back to a directory assistance operator, who can then provide whatever further assistance is needed (e.g. redialing a busy number, or providing further directory assistance).      Billing information for the calls originated by the directory assistance operator on the subscriber's behalf is logged in a database at the directory assistance center. This data is thereafter provided to the cellular carrier, permitting it to bill the subscriber for calls originated by the directory assistance operator.
