Abstract: A safety band (3) of a sealing unit (1) has two retaining noses (12a, 12b; 13a, 13b) arranged in diagonally facing pairs. The retaining  noses (12a, 12b; 13a, 13b) standing out on the clear opening of the safety band (3) are axially displaced. When the bottle (17) is closed, the pair of retaining noses (12a, 12b) is first split and then glides on the retaining rib (15). After that the retaining noses (13a, 13b) that are displaced 90 DEG  are split and also glide beneath the retaining rib (15). When the bottle is opened the retaining noses (13a, 13b) are first retained on the retaining rib (15) and the connecting webs (9) to the screw-type cap (2) are broken. Afterwards, the remaining webs (9) are also broken once the axially offset retaining noses (12a, 12b) are obstructed by the retaining rib (15).

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système amélioré d'imagerie confocale utilisé dans l'examen des tissus dermiques d'un patient, ce système minimisant l'instabilité des images confocales en réduisant le mouvement relatif du tissu par rapport à l'optique d'imagerie confocale du système. Ce système comprend un mécanisme visant à maintenir une zone du tissu dermique sous tension en appliquant une force sur le pourtour de la zone, et une tête d'imagerie couplée à ce mécanisme et permettant de représenter la peau sous tension. Le mécanisme comprend une structure mécanique telle qu'une plaque, une entretoise ou un dispositif de fixation qui supporte à la fois la tête du système d'imagerie et applique une tension sur une zone superficielle limitée du tissu de façon à minimiser le mouvement de la peau au cours de l'imagerie confocale.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and apparatus for merging mailpieces into discrete locations on a mail sorting conveyor. Conventionally, merging of mailpieces is accomplished by detecting a position of the envelope and adjusting the speed of the singulator to match the sorting conveyor. However, synchronization is difficult where a number of singulating stations feed the same sorting conveyor. The present invention overcomes this problem by synchronizing, via a merge conveyor (50), individual mailpieces output by the singulating station to the designated location on the sorting conveyor, instead of synchronizing the entire singulating station. This is accomplished by establishing a symmetric speed versus time profile based on a send signal received by the singulator. When the mailpiece (74) stops before receipt of the send signal, the speed profile is followed to accelerate the mailpiece to a speed for merging with the designated location on the sorting conveyor (20), and when the signal arrives before reaching the stop position, the mailpiece is maintained at a constant speed across the speed profile until intersecting an opposing side of the profile and then accelerating the mailpiece to a merging speed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a suit for problems associated with orthostasis which is comprised of a pair of trousers made of a slightly stretchable textile material. A plurality of essentially linear or wavy strips (14, 15) are inserted along the entire length of the trousers. Said strips are made of double-walled, liquid-tight, slightly stretchable textile material. The two layers of this material are connected to one another at connection points. This results in the production of cavities which are filled with a liquid. Suspenders (11) hold the trousers and are simultaneously constructed as reservoirs (12) for the liquid. In order to increase the pressure on the abdominal region, a flat bladder (13) can be placed in the trousers and, like the strips (14, 15), can be supplied with fluid from the reservoirs (12). As a result, liquid columns are produced which extend over a large portion of the body height. Said columns build up a compensating pressure on the legs and the lower abdomen. The trousers are closed by two lateral zip fasteners (21). The knees and genital region are covered by elastic inserts (16, 17). The strips (14, 15) are either essentially straight or wavy on both sides.

Abstract: A method for automatic debiting of tolls for vehicles (V1-V4) on traffic routes or in traffic zones, the vehicles being equipped with communication devices (1, 11) for communication (12) with a central unit (C) and a roadside unit (3) at a physical toll (4) station. At least one virtual toll charging station (7) is geographically predetermined in relation to the physical station. The vehicle's communication device comprises also a receiver (8) for a signal supplying GNSS system. A first processor (5) reads the position of the vehicle and detects the entry of the vehicle into a virtual toll charging station by comparing the read vehicle position with the positions of the virtual toll charging stations, which data are stored in the vehicle's memory (6), the communication device announcing, via a digital mobile transmitting network to the central unit, that a toll debit transaction is to be executed. The central unit carries out the toll debiting transaction and returns a receipt of the transaction to the vehicle. On entry to the physical toll station the vehicles communication sends, via a communication link to the roadside unit, the receipt as evidence that the correct toll has been paid.

The recesses consist of drillings in the shoe sides which are parallel to the underside, while the protrusions consist of trunnions of slightly smaller diameter. Strap dimensions are such that, with the trunnions inserted, the anchor bolts are clear of the shoe periphery and extend into the base at right angles to the shoe underside. The axes of the drillings can be co-linear and at right angles to the shoe sides, while the trunnions protrude at right angles from the straps.

Abstract: The absorbent paper, in at least three layers, has a weight of 36-105 g/m<2> with two outer layers flanking a center layer. The outer layers are embossed with a relief pattern of discrete projections with a pattern density of ≥ 30 projections/cm<2>. The lower embossed layer (2) has patterns (5,7) which are higher and lower (H,h). The center layer (4) and upper layer (3) are embossed with patterns which nest together with the peaks of the patterns (5) of the lower embossed layer (2) which have the greater height (H). The three layers are bonded together by an adhesive (11) at the peaks of the higher patterns (5) on the lower layer (2). Both outer layers (2,3) have an embossed total pattern density of ≤ 150-90 projections/cm<2>, with different pattern densities in the two outer layers (2,3). The upper layer (3) has a pattern structure with a second embossed pattern in a different height level from its main pattern (9). The center layer (4) has a different weight from the paper of the outer layers (2,3), and also has a different fiber and/or chemical composition. At least one of the outer embossed layers (2,3) is mainly composed of short fibers, and the center paper layer (4) is composed mainly of long fibers. At least one of the outer paper layers (2,3) has a softener and at least one of the three layers contains a hydrophobic agent. The center layer (4) contains an agent with temporary or permanent resistance to moisture. An Independent claim is included for a three-ply absorbent paper prodn. process, where one outer layer (2) is embossed by an embossing cylinder which has a relief pattern with bumps of one height to give an embossed pattern (5) of projections (6) with an increased height. A center layer (4) is placed over the projections (6) of the embossed paper layer (2). A second paper layer (3) is embossed by an embossing cylinder, with a relief pattern (9) with bumps in part of a given height, to be nested with the assembled center and lower paper layers (4,2) by a mating roller, with a sufficient pressure to bond the three layers (2-4) together. Preferred Features: An adhesive (11) is applied to the outer surface of the center layer (4), facing the peaks of the pattern (5) in the lower layer (2), using a glue application roller. The embossing cylinder for the upper layer (3) has a second pattern of bumps, lower than the bumps of the main pattern (9). The bumps on the embossing cylinder for the upper layer (3) have a height of 0.2-2.0 mm for the main pattern and, for the secondary pattern, bump dimensions which give a height difference between them of 0.1-0.7 mm. The adhesive (11) is water-based or a hot melt type applied by a spray, to give a bond between the layers.
