Patent EP-0295463-A3 (EP)
Title: Magnetic water treatment device
IPC: C02F1/48
Filed: 1988-05-24
Abstract: A number of ring-shaped permanent magnets (35) are secured coaxially and at distances from one another in a cylindrical housing (20) with axial connections for inlet and outlet pipes (23, 29). The permanent magnets (35) feature a magnetic pole face at each end of their axes and they are arranged identically with respect to their polarity. Spacers (40) are situated between the adjacent permanent magnets (35), each spacer providing a free space through which lines of magnetic force run parallel to the axis. The spacers (40) also carry disc-like components (45) having openings (47) for the passage of water and having wings (48) which conduct the water passing through into the free spaces between the permanent magnets (35) in a helical circular motion and transverse to the magnetic field. During the passage of the water through the magnetic fields the salts dissolved in the water and, in particular, calcium carbonate are molecularly modified in such a way that afterwards they remain in the dissolved phase for a relatively long time and finally precipitate out in the form of microcrystalline sludge, which can be easily flushed away. <IMAGE>

Abstract: There is disclosed herein an apparatus and 
method for binding prepunched and apertured materials 
together with a curled-finger ring-type edge binder (10) using 
an elongated tool (12). The tool includes leading (22), intermediate

section (26) is longer and wider than the binder, holds the 
fingers (16, 18, 20) open, aligns the prepunched paper relative to the 
fingers and can form an upwardly-facing paper receiving 
gap. The back end (26a) of the trailing section is transverse 
to the longitudinal axis of the tool for releasing the 
fingers so as to allow each finger to release its potential 
energy, extend or snap through the aperture and thus 
bind the paper together.

Title: Log name exchange for recovery of protected resources
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 1991-05-02
Abstract: A computer network comprises first and second computers, each having a recovery facility for recovering a two-phase commit procedure and a recovery log. The log comprises a log name log which stores the names of other logs involved in a commit scope and a sync point log which stores sync point phase information. The log names are exchanged prior to a request for sync point. If a failure occurs during sync point, each recovery facility in the commit scope again exchanges log names to verify that there was not a log failure since the prior exchange. Absent a log failure, the logs are used to recover from the sync point failure. Communication facilities are interposed between the first and second computers and include log name exchange tables which record the previous exchanges of log names between the first and second computers. If a protected conversation is initialized from the first computer to the second computer and log names were not previously exchanged, then the communication facilities intercept the conversation and hold it until log names are exchanged. <IMAGE>
