Abstract: A multilayer material comprises a supporting film, which is provided on at least one of its surfaces with a sealing layer inhibiting the passage of gases. Between the sealing layer and the surface of the supporting film facing it there is provided a finishing, dissipating the surface energy during application of the sealing layer. The sealing layer has on its surface facing away from the film a coating which prevents mechanical damage. It bears on its surface facing away from the film a coating consisting of organic materials. These may comprise a lubricant or resins, which firmly adhere on the sealing layer. The resins may take the form of synthetic resins. The coating may, however, also comprise waxes, which adhere firmly on the surface of the sealing layer facing away from the supporting film. They may take the form of synthetic waxes. The sealing layer may bear on its surface facing away from the film a coating consisting of organic materials. In a process for making a multilayer material inhibiting the passage of gases, a sealing layer is applied to at least one surface of a supporting film. Before the application of the sealing layer, there is applied to the surface of the supporting film facing the sealing layer a finishing by which the surface energy is dissipated during the application of the sealing layer. In another process for making a multilayer material inhibiting the passage of gases, a sealing layer is likewise applied to at least one surface of a supporting film. Before the application of the sealing layer, there is applied to the surface of the supporting film facing the sealing layer a finishing by which unevennesses of the surface are smoothed and a high-gloss surface is produced. In a third process for making a multilayer material inhibiting the passage of gases, a sealing layer is applied to at least one surface of the supporting film. Before the application of the sealing layer, there is applied to the surface of the supporting film facing the sealing layer a finishing by which the temperature resistance of the surface is increased. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A sorting machine is disclosed in which a viewing window is electro-optically observed using an array of photodetectors, each observing a photo site or pixel of the viewing window. Each photodetector, and thus each photo site can be normalised individually to account for background and photodetector sensitivity differences from photo site to photo site. The machine can sample the outputs of the photodetectors sequentially and, by deriving respective binary "pass" and "fail" signals and supplying these sequentially to the serial input of shift register 100 incorporated in processing means can reject products affording a series, of more than a predetermined number, of "fail" signals and thus reject products that have a larger than acceptable number of adjacent defective photo sites. Also disclosed is a circuit (Figures 3 and 4) for rejecting a defective product based on sensing where its trailing edge is or should be if covered up by a successive overlapping product. Such detection also allows for rejecting products that are either too long or too short. All of this is done by digital processing resulting from the digitizing permitted by photo site detection.

Abstract: A method and means for archiving files of modifiable pages in a log based phased commit transaction management system (TMS) in which those pages which have been modified since the last full or incremental backup do not require during the copy operation any modifications to the page itself but merely to a common status page. This is accomplished by management of a pair of global log sequence numbers. Comparison between a first number (ICBU_LSN) and each data page LSN as the page is modified permits the common status page to be updated to correctly reflect the changed status. Subsequent modifications to the same page do not require amendment of the status page. The status page indicia are reset as part of the backup procedure and for ascertaining the page copy set for incremental copying. The ICBU_LSN assumes one of two values as a function of the copy operation and another value for processing page modifications after the copy operation. A second number (ICRF_LSN) is used in the restoration of a file after the file has been partially restored by a page merge in page number order from full and incremental copies. In this case, the ICRF_LSN defines the point in the log for redo since the most recent copy was made.

Abstract: An input digital video signal is encoded to produce at least first and second hierarchical data signals which respectively represent a first video signal and a lower resolution video signal. Each pixel data signal of the second hierarchical data signal is calculated (2) as an average of N pixel data signals of the input digital video signal. The second hierarchical data signal is output (11,12) together with first hierarchical pixel data signals representing only N-1 of the N pixel data signals of the input digital video signal. The first hierarchical pixel data signals may be differential signals produced by subtracting each of the N-1 pixel data signals from the average value of the N pixel data signals. During decoding the Nth pixel data signal is reconstructed from the N-1 pixel data signals and the average value provided as the corresponding second hierarchical pixel signal.

Abstract: It comprises means (9; 509) for keeping axially moveable elements (2, 4; 120, 140; 520, 540) in a first position, in which they cooperate in rotation (at A) with the rotor (2) by means of a bolt-carrying head (6; 106; 506); and means (B) for ensuring that the rotation of a bush assembly (4; 104; 504), fixed into rotation to the rotor by means of the tumblers (3) when a correct key is not inserted, causes the displacement of the moveable elements towards a second position, in which they free the bolt-carrying head from union with the rotor. When an attempt is made to open the lock with a tool or a false key, the tumbers fix the bush to the rotor, causing the latter to rotate, this rotation bringing about an axial movement for the disconnection of the lock and the rotor consequently rotating freely and not acting on the bolt. The axially moveable elements can be the said rotor and the bush or intermediate parts. The lock can also comprise means for preventing the lock from being forced by exerting a torque and a force for preventing axial displacement, and means for preventing the possibility of direct action on the bolt. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a textile machinery, a system and method capable of determining time points appropriate for exchange of consumable parts, respectively. A preset lifetime storage unit 31 stores preset lifetime values of the consumable parts as inputted through an input unit 32. So long as a jet loom is in operating state, a loom control computer C1 issues a signal commanding a time integrating operation to an operation time integrating circuit 33. The operation time integrating circuit 33 determines consumed lifetime of consumable part on the basis of a time lapse counted by a timer 34 so long as the time integrating command signal is issued by the loom control computer C1. An exchange decision circuit 35 compares the preset lifetime of the consumable part stored in the preset lifetime storage unit 31 with the consumed lifetime determined by the operation time integrating circuit 33. When the consumed lifetime of a given consumable part has reached the preset lifetime, the exchange decision circuit 35 outputs an activation signal to an alarm device 36 and at the same time outputs a display command signal to a display control circuit 37. Subsequently, the display control circuit 37 commands a display unit 38 to display the name of the consumable part of concern together with the preset lifetime and the consumed lifetime thereof.

Abstract: Sheet material is given low oxygen permeability or prepared for winding high voltage capacitors by evaporating polyfunctional acrylate monomer having a molecular rate in the range of from 150 to 600 and condensing the acrylate as a monomer film on a dielectric or thermoplastic substrate. The acrylate is polymerized by irradiation by ultraviolet or electrons. A metallized layer provides an electrode of a capacitor. Electrical contact can be made to the metal layer by Schooping even though the metallized layer is covered by a layer of acrylate. A material selected from the group consisting of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, titanium nitride, aluminum oxide and metal may be deposited for forming an oxygen barrier. Adhesion is enhanced by plasma treatment of a surface immediately before deposition. Condensation efficiency is also enhanced by chilling the substrate on which the acrylate is condensed.

Abstract: The invention provides for a method and apparatus for utilizing a plurality of styli (502, 504) (i.e. pens) in conjunction with a common graphics writing surface (300) (i.e. digitizing tablet). Each of the plurality of styli (502, 504) generates information which uniquely identifies the stylus to the control circuits of the graphical writing surface (300). The methods and apparatus may be applied, for example, to cordless pens used in portable "pen computing" applications, or, for example, in desktop applications having interface cables attached to the graphics writing surface and the plurality of styli. One exemplary embodiment of the invention discloses its use with a graphics writing pen which indicates its position on the graphics writing surface (300) to the control circuits by inducing an alternating electric field current to the four corners (A, B, C, D) of an indium tin oxide (ITO) layer of the graphics writing surface. In such an exemplary application, any of several well known techniques may be multiplex the identification information in the induced current signals. For example, each pen (502, 504) may utilize a different frequency so that frequency division multiplexing methods may be applied. Other techniques may include phase shifting of the induced alternating signals, or generally modulating/demodulating an identification data sequence unique to each pen.
