Abstract: Metal device for vertically fastening sheets of ventilated coverings made of ceramic, marble, granite and other natural or artificial materials, formed of two elements with extensions which fit into special slots made on the reverse side of the plates and which, by means of screw-tightening, compress the material, securely attaching it, forcing it solely into this compression. Having fitted the clips onto the reverse side of the plates beforehand, these plates can be used by fitting from top to bottom onto the horizontal laths of the substructure, which is necessary to produce walls with ventilated linings. The plates are levelled simply by acting on the adjustment screw of the two upper clips of each plate. A hexagon socket set screw is applied to the tab fixed to two clips per plate, these being aligned with the vertical. It is used to lock the two clips to the respective horizontal laths of the substructure so that the plates cannot move horizontally or come out of the supports, at least so long as it has not firstly been slackened. By operating on the screws in question of several plates aligned vertically with one another you can replace one plate independently of the others. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention has been made to execute speed change control appropriately under any traveling condition during an up-shift control in speed change by change-over, without increasing the number of control logic. Engagement side hydraulic pressure sweeps up as a result of arithmetic operation by torque phase speed change control. Disengagement side hydraulic pressure is calculated by initial speed change control, dependent on the engagement side hydraulic pressure. The engagement side hydraulic pressure acts primarily and the disengagement side hydraulic pressure carries out follow-up control. Consequently, the same control can be executed regardless of power-on state or power-off state and regardless of a vehicle traveling condition. Accordingly, speed change control can be always executed on the same control stage.

Abstract: A multivariate stochastic simulation application involves the mapping of a primary variable from a combination for sparse primary data and more densely sampled secondary data. The method is applicable when the relationship between the simulated primary variable and one or more secondary variables is non-linear. The method employs a Bayesian updating rule to build a local posterior distribution for the primary variable at each simulated location. The posterior distribution is the product of a Gaussian kernel function obtained by simple kriging of the primary variable and a secondary probability function obtained directly from a scatter diagram between primary and secondary variables.

Abstract: In an automatic call forwarding technique for use in conjection with a telephonic communications system such as a PBX or a central switching office a telephonic device (17) is associated with a smart card reader/writer (15) and a communications unit RF transceiver (11). Subscribers are each provided with a smart card (37) and an RF jacket transceiver (39) adapted to partially and removably encase the smart card. In response to input received from the smart card reader/writer (15), the telephonic device (17) instructs the communications system to forward incoming telephone calls for a given subscriber to the associated telephonic device (17). The communications unit RF transceiver (11) periodically transmits an interrogation signal to the RF jacket transceiver (39). If the interrogation signal is received by the RF jacket transceiver, the RF jacket transceiver sends an acknowledgment signal to the communications unit RF transceiver (11), and incoming calls will continue to be forwarded to the associated telephonic device (17). However, if the interrogation signal is not received by the RF jacket transceiver, the RF jacket transceiver does not transmit an acknowledgment signal, the communications unit RF transceiver does not receive the acknowledgment signal, and the communications unit RF transceiver causes the associated telephonic device to instruct the communications system to no longer forward incoming calls to the associated telephonic device. In a further embodiment, if the interrogation signal is not received by the RF jacket, incoming calls continue to be forwarded to the associated telephonic device until a predetermined time interval elapses, whereupon incoming calls are no longer forwarded to this associated telephonic device.

Abstract: A superconducting system having a coil or cable in the form of strands at superconducting temperature is connected to a power supply at room temperature. The connection is by means of a stranded current lead substantially under regular conducting conditions. Each current lead strand is insulated and connected to a corresponding superconducting strand so as to supply current and to contribute an individual series resistance. The temperature-sensitive resistance provides an important current self-limiting mechanism to forestall current imbalance or channeling among the superconducting strands and therefore forestall premature quenching. Various embodiments are directed to regulating the current in the individual superconducting strands, including regulating the resistance in the individual current lead strands with careful temperature control as well as improving the overall superconducting system with optimized cooling.
