Abstract: An apparatus and method that describes utilizing a corrugation slip nip system, including a variable force idler that encompasses three stages, to prevent buckling of copy sheets traveling at a high rate of speed upon exiting from a high speed printing machine to the exit tray for stacking. Buckling concerns are eliminated by allowing the sheet, driven by a high speed positive drive nip, to slip through the slower speed corrugation nip, yet still having enough drive force in the slip nip to drive the sheet into the exit tray. In order to vary the normal force on the sheet, a three stage variable force idler is used. The first stage oversizes the inner diameter of the idler rollers on the idler shaft. The second stage uses a slot in the spring which allows the idler shaft to move upward without deflecting the spring. These first two stages are particularly adapted for light weight paper. The third stage occurs when the idler shaft is topped out in the shaft slot such that the paper deflects the spring causing additional force to be applied to the paper to drive the paper out of the system and into the exit tray. The third stage is reached only where heavy weight paper is used because heavy weight paper has sufficient beam strength to deflect the spring.

Abstract: At the use of interactive data services on the packet based Internet, the data carrier is only utilized at times. Between the data transmissions the user makes for instance pauses to take care of and evaluate the information which he/she has collected from the database, at which the carrier is unutilized. For certain services and users the circuit switched and comparatively expensive service which GSM offers today is not cost optimal in relation to the active utilization. Either does the user pay for the time his/her communication is silent, or he/she sets up and disconnects the transmission according to his/her need. The latter is very time-consuming because the user for instance has to authenticate himself/herself each time towards his/her server. The invention solves this by providing a completely digital connection between the mobile unit and the server in question. The mobile user sets up a session towards the server in known way by calling and authenticating himself/herself by means of password and user identity. This session is active until the mobile user by a special procedure breaks the session or, alternatively, by one with the system cooperating time interval unit, in form of for instance a timer, expires. The session will after that be superior to a number of connections and disconnections on the GSM-channel.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de messagerie s'appliquant à des communications utilisant, lorsque le destinataire attendu n'est pas disponible, un commutateur non conforme CCITT. Ce procédé s'utilise en relation avec un réseau de télécommunications comportant un serveur multimédia désigné. La caractéristique du procédé est que les communications multimédia en provenance d'un demandeur utilisant un appareil multimédia exécutant une première application et une seconde application sont mis sous forme de messages lorsque l'interlocuteur appelé n'est pas disponible. Le procédé consiste à utiliser la première application pour préparer une communication multimédia à destination d'un interlocuteur appelé, et à utiliser la seconde application pour constater si la communication multimédia reste sans réponse. Si c'est le cas, la première application reçoit alors de la seconde application un signal indiquant que la communication multimédia reste sans réponse. Le procédé consiste alors, en réaction à ce signal, à faire envoyer par l'appareil multimédia un message, en l'occurrence un paquet X.25, à destination du serveur multimédia désigné dans le réseau. L'appareil multimédia reçoit en retour du serveur multimédia désigné dans le réseau une adresse de messagerie identifiant un serveur de messagerie multimédia. Le procédé consiste ensuite à faire préparer par la première application utilisant l'adresse de messagerie une seconde communication multimédia partant de l'appareil multimédia et aboutissant au serveur de messagerie multimédia désigné. Le procédé consiste enfin, à établir une connexion avec le serveur de messagerie multimédia désigné par l'adresse de messagerie, et à faire enregistrer le message multimédia par le serveur de messagerie multimédia désigné dans le réseau.

Abstract: On commande la course d'un ensemble comportant une aiguille d'injection (14) et un induit (12) de manière à minimiser les forces de choc d'ouverture et de fermeture. La commande du mouvement permet de supprimer ou de réduire de manière significative les problèmes associés au rebond de la soupape, et se traduit par une émission acoustique moindre, une réduction de l'usure, des caractéristiques améliorées d'atomisation et une meilleure régulation du débit. Le courant appliqué (TS) à la bobine électromagnétique (22) de l'injecteur, associé à une onde modifiée d'impulsions de synchronisation (TS, T1, T2, T3, T4, TF) de l'injecteur, sert à réduire les vitesses de choc à chaque extrémité de la course de l'induit. Il est possible d'optimiser la forme d'onde pour une classe d'injecteurs associés à une onde d'impulsions modulées en durée, en mettant de manière répétée sous tension et hors tension la bobine électromagnétique conformément à un train optimisé d'impulsions de marche/arrêt.
