Patent EP-0386390-B1 (EP)
Inventor: HAUG WERNER
IPC: G07B17/00
Filed: 1989-11-08
Granted: 1994-06-08
Abstract: The franking machine has a control console (50) on which is provided a number of keys (21-24) corresponding to the decimal places of a maximum franking value amount. The most frequently occurring franking value amounts and also surcharge amounts for special letter dispatch types are predetermined in fixed manner by programming a control unit of the franking machine and are associated with the said keys (21-24) and additional keys (25, AIR, EXP, REG), so that the entry of a complete franking value amount by pressing a single key is possible. The franking machine can be switched between two entry modes by a special key (D-SET) and these modes are performed by means of the same keys (21-24). If exceptionally a franking value amount is to be entered in the franking machine and which does not correspond to one of the fixed, predetermined franking value amounts, entry takes place after operating the switching special key (D-SET) separately by stepwise entry via the keys (21-24) associated with these decimal places.

Title: Variable-diameter wheel
IPC: B60B19/00
Filed: 1989-01-04
Granted: 1993-09-08
Abstract: A variable-diameter wheel (1) has two mutually opposite discs (2, 3) which can move with respect to one another in the direction of their axis of rotation (6), in which discs plates (9) which can move essentially radially are guided. The plates (9) taper, measured in the circumferential direction, from one disc (2 or 3) to the other disc (3 or 2) and are movably connected to one another along their side surfaces (20). On each plate (9) there is arranged at least one sliding piece (15) which can move along a sliding track (19), on the one hand, in the direction of the axis of rotation (6) of the wheel (1) and, on the other hand, in the circumferential direction against the force of springs (18), this sliding piece (15) carrying at least one driver (16) for engaging in a load-transmitting means (22).

Title: Connecting element for dental prostheses
IPC: A61C13/265
Filed: 1989-01-25
Granted: 1993-09-01
Abstract: A connecting element (1) between a bridge (2) and a dental prosthesis comprises a double joint part (6). One end of said part is a spherical head (3) which forms the first joint and the other end forms the first joint and the other end forms the second joint and flares into a cone (7) which tapers toward the flat inner face of the joint cap (9). The joint cap serves as a prosthesis housing to which the dental prosthesis is fastened. The spherical head (3) can be removably inserted with a frictional fit in a suitably dimensioned bore (5) in the bridge. Use of the double joint ensures efficient and uniform distribution of pressure on the bridge(s) during chewing. The dental prosthesis is therefore held more securely and the stress on the anchorages is reduced.

Abstract: Le palier et le plateau à glissement rectiligne ci-décrits sont conçus de manière à accroître la résistance frictionnelle se produisant lorsqu'un coulisseau (1) coulisse sur une base de voie de roulement (2). Les surfaces latérales de rouleaux (4a) sont comprimées par un plateau freinant (5) qui se déplace en fonction de la pression d'un fluide, et le roulement des rouleaux est supprimé (4), (4a) par la force frictionnelle produite par la compression des rouleaux. On peut obtenir un niveau déterminé de rigidité également dans le sens de l'axe de la base de voie de roulement (2), par l'accroissement ou la réduction de la résistance de glissement. L'utilisation de cet agencement dans une machine-outil permet d'obtenir un produit usiné de grande précision.

Abstract: A network system is disclosed for handling telephone requests for authorizing financial transactions between a merchant (10) and the issuer (20) of the transaction card presented for the transaction. The network system includes an intelligent switch (14) for receiving an incoming call from a merchant. The switch includes a Voice Response Unit (VRU) (16) which generates a request for the merchant to enter the account number of the transaction card. The switch then determines the issuer based on data contained in the account number received from the merchant (118). The switch then initiates a call to the issuer (120). The switch then connects the merchant and issuer to enable the issuer to obtain additional information, directly from the merchant, for evaluating the transaction (132). Once the information has been received, the issuer will generate an approval code which is relayed by the switch to the merchant (146, 148). The switch will also keep a record of the transaction parameters (154). If the merchant and issuer are located in different countries, the switch can add a bilingual operator to the call for translating the verbal communications between the merchant and the issuer (232). <IMAGE>
