Abstract: A sock (1) to be oriented is put random on an elongated support (3). Then a rotation about its own axis is given. In case the sock (1) has a heel (1b), notwithstanding it is elastically stretched on the support (3) this heel is visible since it forms a slight but relevant protrusion. In case the sock is tubular it is fully stretched on the support (3), but the seam of the foot is visible at the top of the support (3). Then during the rotation the passage of the heel (1b) is detected or the seam is detected by means of an optical sensor (4). While sock (1) is in rotation on the support (3), and then with it the protrusion (1b). An optical beam detects this protrusion (1b) or seam and stops the rotation of the sock. Once the sensor (4) has detected the heel (1b) or the seam, the rotation of the sock (1) is discontinued and the relative angular position is kept as reference position for following operations of finishing. The rotation of the sock can be carried out by means of axial integral rotation of the support (3) with the sock (1) with respect to a support base. Or, the rotation of the sock can be carried out by means of counter rotating movement of rollers (6, 6') tangential to the support (3). The support (3) can be part of a production cycle wherein the sock follows a path that comprises various work stations (10, 20, 30, 40).

Abstract: A device ( 100, 140, 150 ) for differentially absorbing light, depending on the state of linear polarization of the light, is disclosed. This polarizing effect is induced and controllable by the level of ambient light impinging on the device. The device ( 100, 140 ) may be used as an anti-glare vision protection device which selectively absorbs specularly reflected sunlight in brightly lit environments while permitting all light to pass in dimly lit environments. The device ( 100 ) includes a carrying medium which may be a film ( 142 ) or opposed substrates ( 112 ) that are sealed. A film or the opposed substrates carry a mixture ( 120 ) of fluid material ( 124 ) and photochromic dyestuffs ( 122 ), wherein the photochromic material is activated upon the detection of ultraviolet light so as to absorb some of the light and wherein the energization of the photochromic material effects the material so as to simultaneously selectively absorb the specularly reflected sunlight. The material ( 124 ) may be any fluid that dissolves the photochromic dyestuff material ( 122 ). The fluid is preferably a liquid crystal material such as nematic or chiral nematic. Alternatively, the material ( 124 ) may be a polymer liquid crystal. The device ( 150 ) may allow for electrical control of the absorptive properties.

Abstract: A gray-code counter system (AP1) for a RAM-based FIFO comprises a read pointer (10), a write pointer (20), and a detector (30).The read pointer includes a gray-code decoder (11), a binary incrementer (12), a gray-code encoder (13), and a register (14) that holds the pointer count). The binary incrementer increments by 1 except when the input is 0110 (decimal 6) or 1110 (decimal 14); in these cases, it increments by 3. The result is a 4-bit modulo-12 gray-code sequence with the twelve allowed gray-code values being distributed among the sixteen possible 4-bit gray code values with translational and reflective bilateral symmetry. The write pointer is similar. Because of the translational symmetry, detectors that work with counters with modulo numbers that are power of two work with the corresponding non-power-of-two counter to provide "full" and "empty" indications. When read and write counts differ at the two most-significant bit positions but are equal at the remaining bit positions, the detector provides a "full" indication for a 6-count FIFO.The gray-code counter design is scaleable to any non-power-of-two modulo number divisible by four.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for dosing a reducing agent, especially a urea or a urea-water solution, comprising means for feeding the reducing agent into a catalytic converter (30) provided for removing nitrogen oxides from the exhaust gases, in particular, of a diesel engine. According to the invention, the means comprise a dosing pump (4, 4a; 80, 4a), and an orifice (8a, 71), through which the feeding can be effected, is connected after said dosing pump. No additional elements for controlling the feeding of the reducing agent are arranged between the dosing pump and the orifice. This configuration results in the provision of a compact design, and the use of components that are susceptible to wear is largely eliminated.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for enhancing electrical isolation between antennas in antenna structures comprising at least two antennas, and a radio device applying the arrangement. To enhance antenna isolation, the interfering antenna includes components causing substantial degradation in the radiation characteristics in the operating band of another antenna. For example, a PIFA (310) may include, instead of a short-circuit conductor, a conductive structure (312, 313, 314) having a parallel resonance in the operating band of another antenna (320). Mutual interference of radio parts using separate antennas can be made relatively small without electrical isolation arrangements between antenna elements. Moreover, the invention makes antenna filter design easier and reduces disadvantages caused by antenna filters. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides a host board system in which transceivers of two sizes (the larger approximately twice the width of the smaller) can be arbitrarily mixed within a given host board design. This is accomplished by specifying an arrangement of electrical connectors, a guide rail design, a set of transceiver features, and a bezel configuration to meet this need as well as the other requirements of optoelectronic transceivers. Typically, two slots and connectors are lined up behind an opening in a bezel that provides transceiver access to two connectors. So that either double-width or single-width transceivers can be used in the same opening, the double-width transceiver is designed to engage with the connectors in the same position as a single-width transceiver. Further, the slots and connectors are spaced evenly so that all of the slots and connectors can accommodate a single-width transceiver and all adjacent slots and connectors can accommodate a double-width transceiver.
