Abstract: A system is provided for continuous intraday final settlement of payment orders among a plurality of financial institution participants. The system includes a central controlling agent, including a central computer operable to communicate electronically with satellite computer stations of the plurality of participants to receive payment orders therefrom, and to control release of payments among the plurality of participants; and means for storing a plurality of prefunded balances in a prefunded balance account, each balance representing the right of one of the participants to payment from the prefunded balance account and containing an initial prefunded balance for each participant at the start of each business day. The central computer: stores received payment orders in a queue; categorizes each queued payment order as small or large; monitors the queue for previously stored small payment orders as candidates for immediate release for payment; and determines if release of a candidate small payment order will cause the current balance in the respective prefunded balance of both a sending participant and a receiving participant to fall within respective predetermined limits.

Abstract: For prevention of ghost images from occurring on head-up displays, a
glass surface is ground, and a reflecting surface with a wedge-shaped cross
section is formed. Furthermore, in order to reduce optical distortion at the
edge portion of the reflecting surface, a ground surface contacting the
reflecting surface with an angle between 150° and 210° is formed. In
accordance with the enlargement of the reflecting surface accompanied by the
tendency of head-up displays becoming larger, the reflecting surface is divided
into at least two regions, and the angle of the reflecting surface is optimized
for each region.

Abstract: A mop wringer for a device for cleaning wet floors has a fixed squeezing plate which is positioned between wringer sidewalls. A movable squeezing plate is pivoted to the sidewalls. An actuating lever is configured as a two-armed lever with a shorter lever arm and a longer arm. The actuating lever is connected to the movable squeezing plate by the shorter lever arm and a push guide. A pressing action is carried out by pivoting the actuating lever away from the movable squeezing plate. In the final pressing position, the push guide forms an almost extended toggle lever joint with the shorter lever arm.

Abstract: A footpedal suitable for use as an accelerator type pedal or a toe activated pedal includes a frame having a heel portion and a toe portion with the heel and toe portions being disposed at an angle with one another. A wedge having a generally triangular cross section is provided with first and second sides subtending a front of the wedge. A hinge pivotally mounts the wedge to the frame for enabling the wedge to be flipped between a first position having the wedge first side generally aligned with the frame heel portion and extending therefrom and a second position having the wedge second side generally aligned with the frame toe portion and extending therefrom. In each opposition, a substantially planar relationship is established for a user in either the accelerator configuration or toe configuration. A switch lever is mounted on either side of the pedal for actuating a switch by lateral movement of the user's foot. A switch in operative engagement with the wedge reverses a functional role of the foot activated switch levers in response to flipping the wedge between first and second positions.

Abstract: Procédé d'attribution de canaux selon lequel des codes CDMA forment les canaux de liaison. Les codes CDMA sont représentés dans une structure arborescente par des suites de symboles et peuvent être dérivés les uns des autres. Selon diverses stratégies d'attribution, pour les noeuds encore disponibles, la position est déterminée dans la suite de symboles dans laquelle une différence se présente avec un noeud déjà occupé, à chaque fois à partir de la racine de la structure arborescente. Une somme des positions pour les noeuds occupés est déterminée et le canal ayant le code CDMA qui correspond au noeud ayant une somme prédéterminée - la somme la plus petite ou la plus grande - est attribué. Grâce à la présente invention, dans des systèmes de radiotéléphonie mobile W-CDMA, tant les liaisons à débit de données fixe que les liaisons à débit de données variables peuvent être gérées sans adaptation compliquée de la répartition de canaux.

Abstract: A lighter of the disposable type, ignition of which requires depression of an actuator that is resistant to the manipulations of unintended users. The lighter is normally maintained in a position that prevents depression of the actuator through the incorporation of a mechanism that increases the difficulty of operation. The actuation inhibiting mechanism requires a downward displacement and a tilted displacement in order to allow full depression of the actuator and activation of an ignition mechanism. Preferably, at least one biasing element is provided so that when the actuator is displaced through the application of force by a user, it returns to the initial blocking position when the force is removed.

Abstract: A print head pressure mechanism maintains uniform pressure between the thermal print head and platen roller regardless of variations in parts precision, and thus prints with uniform print density. The print head pressure mechanism has first and second support shaft portions (31 a, 31b) disposed at both sides in the direction of heating element line (L1) of the thermal print head (40); a frame member (2a, 2b) for supporting the print head, and having first and second contact parts (5, 6) for contacting the first and second support shafts; and an urging means (61) for pushing the print head to the platen (50) with the urging means operating on the side of the print head opposite the side to which the heating elements are disposed. When the platen is separated from the print head, the platen axis and heating element line (L1) of the print head intersect. When the platen is in contact with the print head heating elements, and the first support shaft is in contact with the first contact part, the platen axis is substantially parallel to the in-line direction (heating element line L1) of the print head heating elements. <IMAGE>
