Abstract: A method and apparatus for filling a void in a printed image which
has been printed by a thermal transfer printing process employs of a
heat-sensitive pigmented material on a foil (3). A piece of the foil is
provided with a dot of the pigmented material having the same color as
that bordering the void to be filled and approximately the same size as
the void. The foil is positioned on the printed image, with the dot
facing and superposed over the void. Heat is applied to the back of the
foil, opposite to the dot, while at least the heated portion of the foil
is pressed against the image to transfer the pigmented material from the
foil to the void in the image. Instead of a dot, the pigmented material
can take the form of an image and be transferred from the foil to a
receptor material. A heater for simultaneously applying heat and
pressure to the foil comprises a handle, a heater element (5) projecting
from the handle, and a generally planar registration shield (11) fixed
to the handle and resiliently carried in spaced relation to the heater
element, such that the heater element may be brought into contact with
the shield by pressing the handle toward the shield.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mounting (10) that
inverts automatically on inversion of an apparatus to
which it is secured. 
     The apparatus includes a journal (12) rotatable
securing a shaft (11) having secured thereto a mass (13).
The mass (13) is radially spaced from the axis of the
rotation of the shaft (11). A biasing spring (26) acting
between the support (14) for the mass and a point fixed
relative to the journal (12) provides an "over centre"
biasing action, whereby to ensure that the mounting (10)
only inverts when the apparatus to which it is secured
tilts by more than a predetermined angular amount. 
     The advantage of the apparatus lies in providing a
single mounting for e.g. a depth sensor, on an invertible
article such as a reversible plough.

Abstract: Method to operate a combustion device in a house or similar building, with fossil fuel furnaces, such as wood or oil furnaces. Outdoor air is supplied to a heat exchanger that is connected to the smoke tube of the furnace, in such an amount that an interior excess pressure is created, as excess air is led out of the interior of the building through one or more exhaust openings, especially exhaust devices, which are located at low places in the building at its outer side. This offers better combustion efficiency, better energy-utilization and a more uniform temperature in the building. A device for operating the method, comprises a fan (23) which takes in air from an inlet (19) near the outer walls of the building, through a tube (24) leading to the furnace, with a heat exchanger (33, 34) enclosing some of the smoke tube (18) of the furnace (17). The fan (23) is dimensioned and operated to create an overpressure in the building. There exists at least one overflow valve (25) placed in the lower parts of the building, near its outer wall, which opens upon a low inner pressure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved methods for making and using bioadhesive, bioresorbable, anti-adhesion compositions made of intermacromolecular complexes of carboxyl-containing polysaccharides and polyethers, and to the resulting compositions. The polymers are associated with each other, and are then either dried or are used as fluids. Bioresorbable, bioadhesive, anti-adhesion compositions are useful in surgery to prevent the formation of post-surgical adhesions. The compositions are designed to breakdown in-vivo, and thus be removed from the body. Membranes are inserted during surgery either dry or optionally after conditioning in aqueous solutions. The anti-adhesion, bioadhesive, bioresorptive, antithrombogenic and physical properties of such membranes can be varied as needed by carefully adjusting the pH of the polymer casting solutions, polysaccharide composition, the polyether composition, or by conditioning the membranes prior to surgical use. Bi- or multi-layered membranes can be made and used to provide further control over the physical and biological properties of antiadhesion membranes. Antiadhesion compositions may also be used to deliver drugs to the surgical site and release them locally.

Abstract: Method and system for performing an optimised hand over between a first base station BS1 and a second base station BS2, wherein a mobile terminal MT requests a hand over. During hand over the loss of data has to be avoided and a fast retransmission should be provided. Further the hand over is preferably under the control ofthe mobile terminal MT initialising the hand over. The invention therefore provides a method and a system where an information stream is divided into segments and where each segment is numbered. The numbered segments are transmitted via the first communication path P1 and via the first base station (BS1) to the mobile terminal MT and at the same time they are stored in a buffer (BF) on the second communication path P2 to the second base station (BS2), which is the one where the hand over is requested to. After the execution of the hand over one numbered segment identified by the exact number is requested via the second communication path P2. The numbered segment is then available for the mobile terminal MT and is exactly specified by the concrete number.

IPC: F01N1/06
Filed: 1998-09-17
Abstract: Système et procédé permettant, dans un moteur à combustion interne à plusieurs cylindres, d'atténuer le bruit généré par l'ouverture et la fermeture des soupapes d'échappement et d'admission. Le système comprend des conduits croisés qui relient les zones des collecteurs d'échappement et d'admission proches des soupapes d'échappement et d'admission des différents cylindres, lesdites soupapes s'ouvrant à peu près en même temps. Les ondes acoustiques du bruit provoqué par l'ouverture des soupapes d'échappement et d'admission sont mises en opposition mutuelle, ce qui entraîne sensiblement leur annulation mutuelle. Un diaphragme flexible de faible masse, disposé dans chaque conduit croisé, empêche l'écoulement croisé des gaz d'échappement tout en autorisant la transmission des ondes acoustiques. Des bouchons poreux restreignent l'écoulement en direction du diaphragme, tout en étant suffisamment ouverts pour laisser les ondes sonores du bruit se propager librement jusqu'au diaphragme, de façon à ne pas gêner le processus d'annulation mutuelle.
