Title: Winding roller device for web material
Inventor: JUNK DIETER
IPC: B65H18/02
Filed: 1995-07-24
Granted: 1998-11-03
Abstract: A winding device capable of supporting a winding roller for web material, in particular, for paper, has a supporting arrangement which works from underneath in opposition to a deflection of the winding roller and which creates a compressed air cushion between the supporting arrangement and the winding roller. The air cushion is created by means of an over-pressure  in a space between the support rollers that are placed underneath the winding roller. However, due to the changing winding radius, the sealing at the ends of the winding space is difficult to maintain. In order to achieve a support of the winding roller that is free of support rollers and that smooths the web material, it is now provided that the supporting arrangement  has at least one support plate with an upper side which is substantially matched to the contour of the under side of the winding roller and in which there is configured at least one compressed  air outlet opening, that the compressed air can exit through a gap between the winding roller and the support plate, and that the support plate can automatically adjust itself radially to the winding roller in accordance with the winding diameter.

Title: Double break circuit breaker having improved secondary section
Inventor: BENNETT DALE W
IPC: H01H73/02
Filed: 1995-01-13
Granted: 2000-06-27
Abstract: A circuit breaker includes a first section and a second section with substantially independently operating pairs of contact assemblies in each respective section. In the first section, at least one of the contact assemblies is constructed and arranged to interrupt the current by moving from a normally closed position to a blown-open position and latching with the contact assemblies separated. The second section has a biasing extension spring for biasing the contact assemblies of the second section so as to permit interruption of the current in response to a blow-open force, which causes the contacts to separate only momentarily and then return to a normally closed position. The first and second pairs of contact assemblies separate substantially simultaneously in response to the blow-open force, and only the first section reacts to lower-level over-current conditions. To prevent welding or sticking of the contacts in the second section, a kicker is interposed between the pairs of contact assemblies so as to slightly open the contact assemblies in the second section in response to the contact assemblies of the first section reacting to the lower-level over-current conditions. The circuit breaker is designed to operate using "Z-axis" mountable components.

Title: Digital signal recording apparatus
Inventor: KIM SOON-TAE
IPC: G11B5/008
Filed: 1995-10-27
Granted: 2002-02-05
Abstract: In digital signal recording apparatus using I-NRZI modulation for recording, the need for intermittently reading or intermittently writing buffer storage is eliminated by using parallel-bit precoding to generate the channel words that are selected between for recording. The precoders perform precoding on an accelerated basis using ripple-through integration of the alternate successive bits used to form each channel word. Two precoders generate (n+1)-parallel-bit channel words at a channel word rate slower by a factor of (n+1) than the rate of a system clock for the I-NRZI modulation. This leaves additional time during each channel word interval to carry out a decision procedure, which determines which of the channel words generated by the two precoders is to be selected for recording. There is also sufficient additional time for completing a subsequent updating procedure, in which precoding information stored in the precoder that did not generate the selected channel word is altered, to conform to precoding information stored in the precoder that did generate the selected channel word. The parallel-bit channel words from the precoders are converted to serial-bit format for recording with a bit rate equal to that of the system clock. The parallel-bit channel words from the precoders are converted to serial-bit format with an effective bit rate that is substantially higher than that of the system clock, to provide signal for timely implementing the decision and updating procedures.

IPC: H04B10/70
Filed: 1994-09-08
Granted: 1999-11-02
Abstract: In a method of communication using quantum cryptog-raphy an encryption alphabet is used for coding signals for on a quantum channel. The encryption alphabet comprises pairs of operators applied successively to single-photon signals transmitted onto the quantum channel with a pre-determined delay between them. When the signals are detected, the different signals of each pair are split according to their encoded state and directed to different detectors via paths giving a differential delay. The delay is substantially complementary to the original pre-determined delay. Coin-cidence detection is employed at the detectors to eliminate spurious detection counts.

Filed: 1997-11-20
Granted: 2002-09-17
Abstract: A secure and reliable method for verifying in the host system that the expected PSD is coupled to the host system includes generating a random number in the host system and encrypting the random number with a PSD state identification number. The encrypted random number is then sent to the PSD. The PSD decrypts the encrypted random number received using the PSD state identification number and sends the decrypted random number to the host system. The host system compares the decrypted random number received from the PSO to the random number generated in the host system. If they are the same, the host system has verified the expected PSD and has also verified that the PSD has not completed any transactions apart from the host system. A method for verifying that the expected host is coupled to the PSD mirrors the method for verifying the expected PSD.
