Abstract: The possibilities available to pay television subscribers are more and more varied and cater for the expectations of consumers. In order to be able to customise products offered to subscribers, it is important to be able to determine the criteria underlying a particular offer by using not only the subscriber's parameters but in accordance with parameters which can concern a plurality of subscribers. The inventive method consists in storing in a distributed database management centre, the whole set of database images and in performing operations aimed at fulfilling a condition on the whole set of database images. Thus, if the a non-null result concerning the condition is obtained in return, the order is sent for the group of databases concerned.

Title: Method and device for the suspended transport of objects on a transport track comprising an accumulated store
Inventor: MAEDER CARL CONRAD
IPC: B65H29/02
Filed: 2001-06-26
Abstract: The invention relates to retaining elements (1), which are equipped for the suspended transport of individual objects (2) that can be displaced independently of one another in at least a limited manner along a section of rail (5) and that maintain a uniform minimum distance between one another, when being pushed along. During transport, the retaining elements accumulate at an accumulation point by means of an accumulation element (16), in such a way that a reserve store (12) is formed upstream of the accumulation point and said elements are then released from the reserve store (12) in a controlled manner. The retaining elements (1) are not released and transported away from the reserve store (12) individually, but in groups (15) of retaining elements. In said groups, (15) the retaining elements (1) advantageously maintain the aforementioned minimum distance between one another. An additional accumulation element (16), which acts at an additional accumulation point upstream of the first accumulation point, is used to form in advance the groups (12) that are to be released in the reserve store (12). In said manner, the formation of groups is integrated into the accumulation operation in the form of a concentration of the process and the stream of groups that is transported away from the accumulated store (12) can be fed, without further modification, to a unit (4), in which groups of objects suspended by retaining elements (1) are processed, for example, stacked and packaged in batches.

Abstract: A method for measuring the moisture content during drying of an organic material, by which the moisture content in the material is determined based on the dielectric properties of the material, and by which electromagnetic radiation is emitted towards a surface of the material, and the determination of the moisture content is based on the effect of the material on said electromagnetic radiation. A change of the effect of the material on the electromagnetic radiation versus time is detected, and data input to a mathematical model for determining the moisture content of the material during the drying is determined based on the amount of energy consumed for the evaporation of liquid in connection to the drying process during a given time period.

Abstract: A device for cooling a projector includes a plurality of air intakes positioned upstream from a suction fan having an integrated motor. A light source of the projector is disposed between a first air intake and the suction fan so that a first air flow, drawn by the fan through the first air intake, flows around and pulls heat away from the light source. A second air intake is positioned to admit a second air flow, also drawn by the fan, that passes through a duct positioned adjacent an upstream side of the suction fan to direct the second air flow against the fan motor. The second air flow, which has a temperature that is not substantially affected by the light source, cools the fan motor and forms an insulating air layer that protects the fan motor from being damaged by the high temperatures of the first air flow.

Abstract: A segment type diamond tool (101), used for cutting or drilling
brittle substances, such as stones, bricks, concrete structures,

segments (111,112) are each set with diamonds (105) in a single-layered
structure or a multi-layered structure, and are alternately or
intermittently arranged on a steel core (2), different from
conventional diamond tools having segments randomly set with
diamonds. Such a diamond arrangement of this invention allows

a cutting or drilling process to ill-affect worker's health or
cause environmental pollution. In the segments (111,112) each set with
diamonds (105) in the single-layered or multi-layered structure, the
diamond arrangement is designed such that the diamonds (105) of each
trailing segment (112) form grooves on the surface of a brittle
