Abstract: A device for affixing an adhesive label to a package comprises a piston and cylinder. The cylinder comprises two connections arranged on a wall of the cylinder spaced apart from each other, which are alternatively connected to either a positive or a negative pressure media source. The connections control the movement of the piston inside the cylinder so that the piston can move between a first dead center position and a second dead center position thereby causing a stamp to affix a label to the package. Shortly before reaching the first dead center, the piston blocks the first connection with its cylindrical wall, thereby stopping any increase in negative pressure between the piston and the first dead end position.

Abstract: In a network of digital signal processor nodes connected in a peer-to-peer relationship, a data packet sent to a node causes a return transmission from that node. The requestor digital signal processor sends a data packet to a target digital signal processor (1001). Upon arrival at the target digital signal processor, its receiver drives the arriving request packet into an I/O memory and triggers a transmitter interrupt (1002). Next, the pull interrupt (1004) causes the transmitter to execute on a next packet boundary the pull request packet (1003). Finally, the execution of the pull request causes the transmitter to pull a portion of the local I/O memory and send it back to the requestor digital signal processor (1007). The same physical portion of the I/O memory is overlaid with two logical uses, a receiver channel and a transmitter code block. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The manifold (1) comprises a flange (2) and a tube-like elastic part (4) made of elastomeric material, which are connected to one another without using adhesives. The function of mechanical connection of the two components (2, 4) is separate from the function of gas and liquid tightness. The flange (2) and the tube-like elastic part (4) are provided with complementary formations (5, 6) defining a first step-like part (7a, 7b) which ensures stable connection between the two components (2, 4) in conditions of mutual clamping. The same complementary formations then define together a second step-like part (8a, 8b) which confers the necessary preloading on a seal lip (10) of the tube-like part (4) of the manifold. A further step (11) ensures connection of the two components (2, 4) during storage and handing of the manifold. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A description is provided of a method as well as an apparatus for grinding particulate material, such as cement raw materials, cement clinker or similar materials, in a roller mill (1) by subjecting the material to pressing action in a zone (13) between opposite, rotating surfaces where the material is directed to the grinding zone via a feed shaft (11). The method is peculiar in that the material in the feed shaft (11) is accelerated through the action of gravity to a desired velocity without involving essential air admixture, whereas the apparatus is peculiar in that the feed shaft is essentially of a vertical configuration, with a downwardly reduced cross-section, where the reduction of the shaft´s cross-sectional circumference per height unit is downwardly decreasing.The described configuration of the feed shaft has, surprisingly, proved that the material over a given height of fall may attain high velocities and that this is achievable without involving admixture of air into the material. It has thus been established that it will be possible for the material to attain velocities which are close to the velocity achievable in connection with the free fall of individual particles.

Abstract: This invention pertains to the detection of leaks in plastic water distribution pipes by processing the sound or vibration induced in the pipe by water escaping under pressure. Acoustic leak signals are measured at two (or more) contact points with the pipe, e.g., fire hydrants or valves, using vibration sensors or hydrophones. The signals are digitally recorded using the computer's soundcard. The leak is located using the difference in arrival times of two leak signals as determined from the cross-correlation function traditionally used in leak detection applications or an enhanced impulse response function. The enhanced impulse response function eliminates the need to filter leak signals before processing and hence avoids the uncertainty involved in selecting filter cutoff frequencies for non-experts. Listening to leak sound in plastic pipes is made possible in software by shifting their low-frequency content to an audible higher range. The software implementation of this system can be readily integrated with commercially available RF-based data transmitters and leak sensors-thus providing a complete, flexible, and inexpensive leak detection system.
