Abstract: An electronic trading method prevents unjust
trading relative to prices or goods in an electronic
trading using valuable data such as electronic money as
settlement means. A broker server (30) which temporarily
stores electronic money, for example, is connected to a
communication network. When electronic money is sent as
a price of goods from a terminal (10) of a goods consumer
to a server (20) of a goods merchant, the sending of
electronic money is performed in two steps including
sending of electronic money from the terminal (10) of the
consumer to the broker server (30) and sending of
electronic money from the broker server to the server
(20) of the merchant. The sending of electronic money
from the broker server (30) to the server (20) of the
merchant is performed when a predetermined settlement
condition including a condition relative to the elapse of
a designated date or reception of a receipt issued by the
terminal (10) of the consumer is brought into existence.
When the consumer does not receive goods although a
predetermined delivery date of goods has elapsed, the
terminal (10) of the consumer transmits a command for
prohibiting settlement to the broker server (30). When
the broker server (30) receives the command, the broker
server (30) does not sent electronic money to the server
(20) of the merchant even if the settlement condition is
brought into existence.

Abstract: An oil-fuelled burner discharges combustion gases to a heat-exchanger where the residual heat is surrendered to an intermediate fluid medium. The combustion gases are then cleaned esp. de-sulphurised using the intermediate fluid medium which flows through a closed-circuit path in which it is neutralised with a suitable agent. In a process to clean the combustion gases, the improvement is that: (a) the intermediate fluid medium is de-coupled from the neutralisation agent if over-neutralisation of the intermediate fluid medium becomes imminent; (b) the de-coupling is effected by stopping circulation of the intermediate fluid medium; (c) the intermediate fluid medium is stabilised in the pH range 5.5 to 7 pref. approx. 6.5; and (d) the neutralisation agent is a metal oxide esp. an alkali or earth alkali oxide e.g. MgO. Also claimed is a suitable assembly.

Abstract: This invention has as its object to make it
possible to provide a recording apparatus in which even
when a recording material of a different size is used,
it can be prevented by a simple construction from
rubbing against a recorded recording material already
discharged to and supported on a recording material
discharge supporting portion to thereby prevent the
disturbance of the recording surface (image) thereof
and improve the dischargeability and supportability of
the recording material. A recording material discharge
supporting unit is made removably mountable with
respect to the main body of the recording apparatus,
and the apparatus has a recording material holding
member supported on the base member of the recording
material discharge supporting unit by a recording
material holding member holder and movable in the
widthwise direction of the recording material, and a
recording material holding member fixed onto the base
member. The recording material holding members are
characterized in that cams fixed to a cam shaft
operatively associated with the rotative driving of a
discharge roller are designed to be engaged with cam
surfaces fixed to pivot shafts and pivotally moved
about the pivot shafts to thereby change the recording
material holding members to a holding position and a
retracted position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a frame discard method for a packet switch and to a packet switch. The method comprises the steps of (a) receiving packets belonging to at least one transmission connection, consecutive packets of an individual transmission connection forming frames, (b) switching packets from N input ports of the switch to N output ports of the switch, through at least one intermediate port, and (c) discarding complete frames, if the load level in the switch exceeds a predetermined threshold. In order to combine a good frame level performance with implementation simplicity, the packets are discarded in a switch where the maximum number of packets that can be transmitted simultaneously to one port is smaller than N, in such a way that (i) when the number of packets simultaneously contending for an individual port exceeds said maximum number, at least one first packet of a frame is chosen to be discarded from among said packets, and (ii) once a first packet of a frame has been discarded, the remaining packets of the same frame are discarded, regardless of the current buffering capacity of the switch.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de produire une couche de borure sur une surface, par boruration au plasma. Selon ce procédé, un milieu gazeux contenant une substance diffusant du bore est acheminé jusqu'à un réacteur (10) où une décharge lumineuse est effectuée. L'invention concerne en outre un dispositif approprié pour mettre ledit procédé en oeuvre. Les procédés connus de boruration au plasma, par ex. des surfaces métalliques, présentent comme inconvénient de ne pas donner lieu à des couches de borure sans porosités et ne peuvent de ce fait s'utiliser pour des applications industrielles en série. Selon ce procédé, les paramètres de production du plasma produit dans la chambre de traitement (11) du réacteur (10) doivent sélectionnés de manière à obtenir une part très élevée en bioparticules excitées dans le plasma. On obtient ainsi des couches de borure sans porosités. Ce procédé s'utilise par ex. pour recouvrir des pièces devant comporter une surface très résistante à l'usure, car elles sont très sollicitées, telles que des roues dentées, des arbres à cames et similaires. Les paramètres du procédé avec lesquels il est possible d'agir sur la formation de la couche de borure sont par ex. la tension, le rapport durée de passage du courant pendant le cycle, la fréquence, la température, la pression lors de la production du plasma, ainsi que la teneur de la substance diffusant le bore et celle des autres constituants du milieu gazeux acheminé jusqu'au réacteur (10).
