Patent EP-1444866-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PANAGHE STYLIANOS
IPC: H05B3/20
Filed: 2002-10-09
Abstract: A radiant electric heating element for use in a toast making appliance comprises a base plate (2) of stainless steel to one or each face of which there is printed a first ceramic track (3) with an electrically conductive track (5) printed on the face thereof remote from the base plate (2), and a second ceramic track (4) is printed upon and surrounds the heating track (5) thus hermetically sealing with the heating track between the two ceramic tracks. Such an element provides adequate radiant heat for efficiently toasting bread while the bread may be in direct contact with the element but is electrically insulated therefrom by the second ceramic track (4). By providing a further ceramic coating (6) on the opposed face of the base plate (2), mechanical integrity is maintained to prevent warping of the element and thus uneven toasting.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for paying data (38) which is offered and can be bought on a network server (30) and accessed from said server through a data network (20). For the payment, electronic value units (40) which can be freely divided are made available for a limited period of time on the network server (30). Said value units (40) are generated in a payment centre (60) connected to the network server (30) through a data network (22) and a user (10, 12) is referred to the payment centre by the network server. Invoicing of used value units (40) is also carried out in the payment centre (60). For that purpose, said payment centre (60) can access a count (80) of a service provider as well as a count of a user (10, 12). A plurality of value units (40) is grouped in a value block (41) which is allocated respectively to a single data provider (36, 38). A copy (42) of the value block (42) is transmitted to the network server (30). Said network server (30) provides the used value units (40) with a use marker (46).

Abstract: The technique of the invention attains a practical printing
system between arbitrary clients and printers connecting with a
network. 
     An intermediation server connecting with the network is
interposed between the clients and the printers to intermediate
printing. Each client sends a printing request, which includes
selection of print data and specification of a printer as an output
destination, to the intermediation server. The intermediation
server converts the selected print data into a general purpose format,
which does not depend upon the type of the printer, and transfers the
converted print data to the specified printer.

Abstract: In a fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine, a method for controlling fuel quantity delivery from a high pressure, reciprocating piston, engine-driven fuel pump to a high-pressure common rail having a plurality of fuel injection nozzles for injecting fuel into the cylinders of the engine. At least two control regimes are established corresponding to a respective low engine speed pump operation and high engine speed pump operation. During low speed operation, unregulated low pressure fuel is fed to the pumping pistons and at a location between the pistons and the common rail, excess fuel discharged from the pistons is diverted to a location of relatively low pressure in the fuel supply system, upstream of the pistons. During high-speed operation, the quantity of low pressure feed fuel pressurized by the pumping pistons is regulated and all of the fuel discharged from the pistons is delivered to the common rail.
