Abstract: A disc-shaped information carrier with a substrate and an information layer which includes optically readable elementary marks having a substantially uniform density. The information layer includes a first portion suitable for being read out at a first read-out speed and a second portion suitable for being read out at a second read-out speed higher than the first read-out speed. According to the invention, the second portion of the information layer is at a greater distance to a center of the disc-shaped information carrier than is the first portion of the information layer. A range of rotational speeds which an optical read-out unit must have for a full and correct read-out of the information carrier is reduced in this manner. In a special embodiment, the first portion of the information layer includes a first version of an audio recording provided on the information layer by the DSD transformation method, whereas the second portion of the information layer includes a second version of this same audio recording provided on the information layer by the PCM transformation method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device comprising a UV lamp (2) which is accommodated in a housing (3) in such a way that UV rays emerge directly or indirectly from an exit (4), and strike a substrate (1) which is to be exposed to the rays. The lamp is air-cooled in a closed circuit, whereby the air enters the housing through an air inlet (6) and leaves the housing again through an air outlet (7). The exit (4) is sealed with a glass plate transparent to UV, so that neither cooling air nor ozone can exit directly from the housing. This also protects the lamp and the reflector surrounding the lamp from being dirtied by the suctioned cooling air.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bearing element having a base plate fitted on a support, for a seat or bed system, with a bearing plate to hold upholstery. The invention seeks to produce a bearing element whose range of spring is approximately equal to the total height, and which is easy to produce. To this end, at least two spring elements serving as bearing arms (12, 22) are fitted between the base plate (11, 21) and the bearing plate (15, 25). These spring elements, configured like leaf springs, are directed outwards from the base plate (11, 21). Their outer ends join the hearing plate (15, 25). In another version of the invention, a spring body (35, 35') is fitted between the base and bearing plate. The spring body head (35.2) and foot (35.1), like the bearing plate and base plate, have corresponding locking parts, so that the bearing plate can also be removably placed on the spring body (15, 15') and on the base plate (21). The invention also seeks to provide a bed system that is fitted with the inventive bearing elements, and which is characterized by its versatility. To this effect, fixing means for bearing elements are fitted on the plate or laths, preferably as undercrosses (30) that can be connected by socket connectors, with fixing means for the bearing element (10, 20) in the crossing area. A second version of the invention is intended in particular for lath frames (2) with mountable frame part(s) (3, 5, 7). In this version, at least one row of bearing elements (30') belonging to the outer mountable frame part is fitted with bearing elements (35') having a foot support (31) and a bearing plate (20, 40, 50). The other rows have bearing elements (30), which comprise a foot support (31), spring body (35, 35') and bearing plate (20, 40, 50).

Abstract: The present invention reveals an automated sorting device capable of receiving articles from an input source, correctly choosing among which of many output destinations to direct the articles, and transferring those articles without slowing the sorting process. To accomplish its purpose, a sorting conveyor is pivoted at its receiving end about both a horizontal axis and a vertical axis. The sorting conveyor is cradled within a vertically moveable carriage which, in turn, is mounted within a horizontally moveable frame. The frame is driven horizontally and the carriage driven vertically to align the conveyor's output end with each output destination. In a preferred embodiment, tracks attached to a support structure stabilize the frame and a controller positions the frame and carriage in response to destination indicia associated with each article to be sorted.

Abstract: In the production of a polyester fabric, where all the fibers have an elastic stretch, a proportion of the fibers are a bi-component type which can be shaped into spiral coils. The fiber preparation and spinning stages are for non-stretch filaments, and the fabric is strongly structured to take in its potential elasticity. For the production of a polyester fabric, where all the fibers have an elastic stretch, a proportion of the fibers are a bi-component type which can be shaped into spiral coils. The fiber preparation and spinning stages are for non-stretch filaments, and the fabric is strongly structured to take in its potential elasticity. The loomstate fabric is given an initial heat treatment in hot air at a temperature of 180-190 degrees C under a low fabric tension before conventional processing and finishing such as washing and dyeing. During all subsequent heating processes, the fabric tension is limited. For the initial heat treatment, the fabric is carrier by a stenter through a temperature of 185 degrees C for 1.0-1.5 minutes. The fabric is composed of polyester and wool fibers, in a 50:50 mixture, where all the polyester fibers have a bi-component structure. The stenter gives a stenter advance of 15% and a fabric width control at the stenter exit of 9% less than the width of the loomstate material. After dyeing, the fabric is dried at a stenter at a temperature of 130 degrees C after a heating stage at 185 degrees C. The fibers are mixed at the carding and spinning stages, without recombing. The polyester and wool fibers are taken from their bales, to be mixed by carding and combing to form tops followed by drawing at a drafting frame and spinning. During weaving, the warps are reduced by 15-20%. The bi-component polyester fibers have an elastic stretch of 15-20% in the warps and wefts. The cloth is composed of yarns number 2/70, in the warps and wefts. The bi-component polyester fibers are in two different cuts of 80 and 105.
