Abstract: A locally synchronous circuit module has a delay circuit having and input and output coupled to a clock input. The delay circuit provides a delay which when incorporated in a clock oscillator ensures a clock period that is at least as long as needed to transfer information between the storage elements. A handshake circuit is provided for generating handshake signals for timing information transfer between the locally synchronous circuit module and a further circuit. The handshake circuit comprises the delay circuit, so that at least part of the handshake signals during a handshake transaction are timed by traveling through the delay circuit and are applied to the clock input to clock the locally synchronous circuit module.

Abstract: A roll ring (22) is rotationally fixed onto a shaft (20) in a roll ring arrangement (22). Said shaft comprises a threaded area (30) and a fixing area (32) which is disposed respectively in an axial manner next to the cylinder ring. A screw nut (36) is screwed onto the screw area, exerting a high axial working tension on the roll ring, said tension being sufficiently high in order to transfer the rotational torque required for a rolling process between the shaft and the roll ring. A hydraulically operating clamping device (50) is fixed in a detachable manner to the securing area and can exert a high axial working tension on the roll ring independently and alternatively from the screw-nut. A radially positioning unit is actuated independently from the axial clamping device and the screw-nut. Said unit comprises a centering means and is embodied in such a manner that radial backlash between the shaft and the roll ring is eliminated by the centering means (34). The invention also relates to a method for clamping a roll ring in said type of roll ring arrangement.

Abstract: A method of enabling a first wireless information device to access absolute location data in which the first wireless information device does not possess its own absolute location finding system but is instead able to receive, over a wireless network, absolute location data from a second wireless information device that does have its own absolute location finding system. The present invention hence enables wireless information devices to share absolute location data: for example, a mobile telephone with GPS capability can be used as a local “beacon” to broadcast its absolute location to any nearby devices over a personal area wireless network (e.g. a Bluetooth network) so that those nearby devices can use that location data. Hence, a camera with no location finding system of its own could obtain location data from a nearby GPS equipped mobile telephone over a Bluetooth PAN and watermark its images with location data.

Abstract: A reconstruction method based on a white-compensated luminance-reconstruction and using filter weights referred to as smartgreen-parameters is proposed. An aliasing free luminance signal, even at the multiples of the sample frequency, and in case of a camera without optical low pass filter is achieved. Moreover this white-compensated-luminance-signal is free of signal distortion. The proposed method allows a suitable low pass filter to be added or combined and in particular will suited to implement a variety of aliasing free color- and contour-filters. The RGB color signals are reconstructed using filter weights that can be chosen as a function of the heaviness of the sensor matrix and of the optical transfer of the camera. It is proposed to apply a contour-reconstruction-filter in parallel with the color-reconstruction-filter.

Abstract: An ankle brace for comfortably supporting an ankle of a wearer by inhibiting motion between a foot and lower leg of the wearer. The ankle brace employs a laminated, moisture-wicking material for leg and foot portions that improves wearability during athletic activities. The leg and foot portions are combined with medial and lateral stays that are supported within pockets of the leg portion so as to provide medial and lateral stability for the ankle. A strapping unit is used to further improve stability with a pair of straps that are formed of the same piece of laminate material as the foot portion and extend upwards from the foot portion to cross over the ankle and attach to the leg portion. Advantageously, constructing the straps from the same piece of material as the foot portion eliminates fasteners and overlapping material and allows the ankle brace to be used with off-the-shelf footwear.

A process for continuous processing of water (WR), a water soluble powder or granular material (S) is added to be mixed with the water and the initial mixture (WV) is fed through a mixing pipe into the dissolving and mixing zone (LM) of a tank with a turbulent flow. The mixture is transferred into a reaction zone (R) of the reactor vessel by flow converters (4) in an even distribution through its constant cross section. The distributed mixture (WL) is passed into the reaction zone of the reactor (5) through a number of openings around the reactor entry cross section, each with a jet unit aligned into the reaction zone. The water mixture is injected into the reactor in a laminar-turbulent flow over the whole reactor cross section, at a flow speed (F) of 2-25 mm/second towards the reaction zone outlet (51) for the processed water (WA) outflow.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and test kit for quantitative determination of the amount or relative proportions of polynucleotides in a mixture. The invention enables assessment of dynamic variations in a mixed population of organisms using affinity aided solution hybridization. The test kit comprises organized pools of polynucleotide probes having approximately the same number of nucleotides, which are distinguishable using resolution enabling tags providing the probes with different sizes. The resolution enabling tags may simultaneously act as tracer, affinity or primer tags. The probes are allowed to hybridize with affinity tagged analyte polynucleotides. The result is hybrids, recoverable on separation aiding tools provided with counterparts of the affinity tag. After the quantitative release of the probes, the individual probes can be amplified and recorded. The method and test kit arc useful for determining hygienic and cpidcmiologic situations and evaluating the effect of antibiotic treatment and sanitary measures.

An extruded plastic tube is introduced into an open tool with main(8) and head(10) plates and cut off outside the head plates to form an opening. The main plates are closed to seal the tube base and the tube inflated via the opening before filling the container with the fluid. A closure plug(3) is inserted into the tube in the head plates and has a fluid delivery cannula at the outer end with a safety feature including a protective body which moves between forward and retracted positions. Head plates are then closed and the tube end molded to form a protective cover(5) around the cannula.  Expansion and filling of the container in the molding tool are effected simultaneously by a combined blowing and filling mandrel passing through the opening. During closure of the head plates(10) a deliberate weak point(7) is formed in the tube wall at the transition between closure plug(3) and protective cover(5). When the head plates are closed to form the cover a grip is formed to assist rotation of the cover away from the container at the weak point. The closure plug rests on a seat formed by walls of the closed main tool plates(8) adjacent to the head plates.
