Abstract: The wooden bed frame shown in the figures is designed to reduce the effect of the house dust mite upon a sleeper allergic to such mites. The bed incorporates a number of features each of which contribute to reduce asthma attacks for sleepers sensitive to the house dust mite. The bed frame includes a footboard (2) and a headboard (1) outwardly inclined at an angle of between 5° and 25°, preferably at 15°, to the vertical. The headboard (1) and footboard (2), both extend beyond the width of an air mattress (not shown) lying between stringers (3 and 4) to ensure good circumjacent air circulation even when located against a wall. The mattress is supported on slats (6) mounted between the stringers (3 and 4). In use the air mattress may be covered by a quilted cotton material that is readily washed and dried so that it does not act as a natural host for house dust mites. The pillow (not shown) is enveloped in a zipped non-woven micro-porous pillowcase that is designed to exclude house dust mites from entering the pillow.

Abstract: The method involves supporting portability of a mobile subscriber telephone number at an exchange of a mobile subscriber from a current mobile communication system (D1) which releases the registered subscriber, to a new mobile communications system (D2) which receives the mobile subscriber. The current phone number (MSISDN) used for initiating a call connection to the mobile subscriber is received by a exchange arrangement (MSC/GMSC) of the current communication system, and used at least for a query of a database (VLR), by which routing information is demanded for the call connection. At reception of a control information from the database, the exchange initiates a branching to a service control unit (CSE) of an intelligent network in lieu of the routing information, which is transmitted along which the current telephone number. The service control unit replaces the current telephone number with a new phone number (MSISDN') which is usable in the new communication system, and returns it to the exchange which sets up the call connection in the new communication system, using the new number.

Abstract: The gauge and cess panels (3, 4) of a level crossing creep apart lengthwise of the track (1, 2) and need closing up again from time to time. A device (5, 24) for this consists of a member (8, 26) that engages under or over a rail (1) and has a portion (10, 27) extending transversely to the rail carrying a cam (6) or screw (28) for engaging the end of a panel (3, 4). When the cam or screw is turned, the reaction from the panel (3, 4) jams the member (8, 26) on the rail (1), and further turning forces the panel lengthwise of the track. Another device for gauge panels is a two armed toggle (29) with a cam (31) at its pivot (30), the arms (29) being in a shallow V with their free ends (32) braced against the insides of the rails (1). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The device has at least two concentric shafts (2), each of which is rotated around its axis (21) by a motor, independently of the others. Each shaft is rendered rigid vertically at its end in a sector (10,11,12), the free end of which incorporates cut-outs (13), each of which is capable of coming into contact with one of the products fed by a conveyor (4) so that each sector forms a batch of products. The parameters of speed and acceleration of each of the sectors moving one after the other are determined by the control system in accordance with the different phases of formation and separation of batches. The two concentric shafts (2) are activated to rotate around their axes by an electric motor, independently of the others by means of an electronic controller, through the intermediary of a pulley.

Abstract: A fast data transfer collection system using message authentication and contactless RF proximity card technology in non-contact storage and retrieval applications. The system is generally comprised of Host computers (application computer systems), Target radio frequency (RF) terminals, and a plurality of portable Tags (“smart” or “proximity” cards). A Host provides specific application functionality to a Tag holder, with a high degree of protection from fraudulent use. A Target provides control of the RF antenna and resolves collisions between multiple Tags in the RF field. A Tag provides reliable, high speed, and well authenticated secure exchanges of data/information with the Host resulting from the use of a custom ASIC design incorporating unique analog and digital circuits, nonvolatile memory, and state logic. Each Tag engages in a transaction with the Target in which a sequence of message exchanges allow data to be read(written) from(to) the Tag. These exchanges establish the RF communication link, resolve communication collisions with other Tags, authenticate both parties in the transaction, rapidly and robustly relay information through the link, and ensure the integrity and incorruptibility of the transaction. The system architecture provides capabilities to ensure the integrity of the data transferred thus eliminating the major problem of corrupting data on the card and in the system. The architecture and protocol are designed to allow simple and efficient integration of the transaction product system into data/information processing installations.

Abstract: A syringe comprises a barrel containing an internal cylindrical body containing a liquid and communicating with a delivery needle. The needle is covered before use by a removable sheath, and after the sheath is removed, the needle is concealed by a displaceable sleeve. In use the sleeve is pressed against the skin by applying pressure while holding the barrel. The sleeve is thereby retracted into the barrel allowing the needle to penetrate the skin. The movement of the sleeve also activates a gas generator which expels the liquid from the needle. When delivery is complete and the syringe is taken from the skin, a coil spring moves the sleeve back to the starting position again concealing the needle. The coil spring is torsionally biased before use and causes a rotational movement of the sleeve relative to the barrel when the sleeve moves into and out of the barrel. This rotational movement engages a locking mechanism which prevents further movement of the sleeve and thereby permanently conceals the needle.

Abstract: A system is provided for the remote control of one computer from another in which selectable compression speeds are utilized to minimize overall screen refresh time. In one embodiment, an algorithm selection module at one computer chooses the highest compression available corresponding to a worst case scenario, followed by measurement of the compression time and the transmission time, with the ratio of compression time to transmission time being used to select a decreased compression, thereby to lower compression time and consequently lower the overall screen refresh time. By adjusting both the send time and the compression time on the transmit side, the above ratio can be made to equal one, which corresponds to the most efficient utilization of the available bandwidth and CPU power, which in turn translates into the quickest screen refresh time for the remote control operation.

The surplus yarn length is severed by cutting, when the spun yarn is held at one end by the rollers of the drawing unit (1) and the other end is held at the yarn body or the sleeve (10) under tension. The cutter is controlled through the relative movement between the sleeve and the yarn guide tube (6), where a rotation axis lies on the theoretical center line on the common longitudinal axes of the sleeve (10) and yarn guide tube (6). The suction, to remove the cut yarn, uses the suction unit to remove lint and debris from the yarn.
