Patent CH-548469-A (CH)
Title: Circular knitting machine - with electro magnetic needle selection
IPC: D04B15/78
Filed: 1971-10-01
Abstract: Circular knitting machine has electro magnetic needles selection for knit, no knit and tuck positions. There is a permanent magnet inside a pair of pole shoes. This in turn is surrounded on three sides by an electro magnet. In the opening of this unit the steel selecting jack fits. As the jacks approach selection they are attracted to the permanent magnet. This position is the knit. As the cylinder moves further, an impulse can be fed to the permanent magnet, which overcomes the force of the permanent magnet and moves the jack or selector out. This is the tuck position. The magnets can be fitted with sapphire insert to reduce wear.

Title: Casting film from solns of polyurethane derived from
Inventor: ANDRA KLAUS DR
IPC: C08G18/08
Filed: 1968-10-08
Abstract: Polyurethane articles are produced by eliminating the solvent from solutions containing (1) the reaction products of polyhydroxyl compounds, polyisocyanates, and low molecular weight chain extending compounds having at least 2 active H atoms, and (2) fillers, pigment, and other additives as required. The desired concentration and viscosity of solution are obtained by adding solvent as the polyaddition reaction proceeds. In particular the polyhydroxyl compound is an OH-terminated polyester or polyetherester having a molecular weight between 500 and 5000 and is prepared from aliphatic dicarboxylic acids and aliphatic diols or diol ethers HO - (CH2-CRH)y - O - ((CH2-CRH)z - O) n H where R is H, CH3, or C2H5; y is 1 or 2; z is 1 or 2; n is 0 to 12. The viscosity and the polymer content of the composition can be varied independently provided a careful choice is made of the time of addition of the solvent. Articles produced include flexible films and microporous films.

Title: Information sharing in a mobile phone network in which a control node maintains a list of terminals which conform to at least one predetermined criterion
Inventor: MAYES KEITH EDWARD
IPC: H04W4/02
Filed: 2000-05-31
Abstract: In a mobile radio network, more particularly a cellular telecommunications network, one or more control nodes e.g. node 5 are provided. Each control node is operative to create and dynamically maintain lists of particular mobile terminals ("neighbours") within range which conform to particular criterion or to particular criteria which is or are specific to each such list. In this way, therefore, information to be shared with mobile terminals conforming to particular criteria can be directed to those mobile terminals, using the lists maintained by the control nodes. It is not necessary for a central point in the network to be involved in monitoring the mobile terminals within the network and maintaining lists of them. For example, a supermarket may wish to transmit special offers to mobile terminals within its location and which conform to some other criteria (e.g. they have asked to receive such special offers and their subscription conforms to a particular tariff class). A list of such mobile terminals can be created and maintained by a control node located at the supermarket (or, for example, at each of a chain of supermarkets) instead of centrally.

Title: Semiconductor memory and bit line sense amplifier connecting method
Inventor: HAN JONG HEE
IPC: G11C11/409
Filed: 2000-12-27
Abstract: In a semiconductor memory and bit line connection method a control signal is provided connecting bit line sense amplifiers drives at a high voltage level of Vpp and thereafter lowering it to a power voltage Vdd level or a ground voltage level, thereby reducing a power consumption in data read, write and refresh operations. Accordingly, a power consumption of a semiconductor memory device can be reduced, in particular, in a case that the present invention is used to a memory device in which a self refresh mode or an automatic refresh is supported, the power consumption can be reduced more efficiently.

Title: Upright-type vacuum cleaner with removable cyclone dust collecting means and filter
Inventor: OH JANG-KEUN
IPC: A47L9/16
Filed: 2001-02-27
Abstract: An upright-type vacuum cleaner includes a cleaner body 10, motor chamber 12, suction brush 20, cyclone dust collecting means 30, and filtering means 40. The cyclone dust collecting means 30 is removably disposed in a dust collecting chamber 11 in the cleaner body. The suction brush draws air and contaminants from a cleaning surface into the cleaner body. The air follows the intake duct 14 to the dust collecting chamber inlet port 11a and then enters the cyclone body 31 via channel 36. The cyclone dust collecting means induces the air and contaminants into a vortex to separate by centrifugal force large particle contaminants from the air and to collect the contaminants. The cyclone dust collecting means has a centrifuging portion 32 from where contaminants are discharged to a dust receptacle 33 via a slot 32c. The centrifuged air is then discharged from the cyclone dust collecting means via channel 37 and leaves the dust collecting chamber via port 11b, from where it passes through a filter 41 further reducing fine contaminants entrained in the air.

Title: Method and apparatus for secure storage and handling of elongate objects
Inventor: ROSS RALPH BARCLAY
IPC: B65D81/05
Filed: 2000-01-13
Abstract: An improved packing member (230) includes a rigid interior portion (736) enclosed by a resilient exterior portion (734). The exterior portion is physically adapted to generate a force in response to, and opposing, the motion of an elongate object (808) thereover. The generated force advantageously increases in magnitude as the object moves across a packing member. In some embodiments, a frame (200) receives the improved packing members (230). In one embodiment, the frame (200) comprises two vertical side portions (220A, 220B) that receive one or more of the packing members. The frame advantageously includes a variable-positioning element (232A), so that the packing members are freely positionable alone the height of the vertical side portions. In conjunction with the improved packing member, the variable positioning element enables embodiments of the present invention to be used with multiple object diameters/geometries.

Title: Heated foaming liquid dispensing apparatus
Inventor: CARLUCCI VITO
IPC: A45D27/02
Filed: 2000-03-10
Abstract: A dispenser for healing and dispensing, to a user through an outlet, a foaming liquid, such as shaving cream from a pressurized can of such cream. The foaming liquid, when initially heated in the dispenser's heat chamber may undesirably produce steam and/or a runny liquid that would be dangerous or at least undesirable to a user. In accordance with the invention, a trap is placed near the outlet to capture the steam or runny liquid. Since shaving cream cans come in two lengths, in accordance with another aspect of the invention, a reversible end cap is disclosed which will retain either of two sizes of shaving cream in the dispenser.
