Abstract: Disclosed is a method of melting a metal, which can demonstrate improved heat efficiency, increased yield and minimized pollutive gas generation. In this method, a metallic material stacked in a melting furnace is melted by heating it directly with the flame from a fuel burner using an oxygen gas having a purity of 60 to 100 % as a combustion assisting gas. The oxygen gas is burned at an oxygen-to-fuel ratio of 0.55 to 0.99, while the unburned portion of the combustion gas is allowed to burn by O₂ supplied separately through oxygen lances. Meanwhile, the metallic material is preheated by burning the unburned portion of the combustion gas, whereas the combustion assisting gas is heated before it is fed to the burner.

Abstract: The invention proposes a sheet-metal profile which, preferably of cold-rolled configuration, serves to erect load-bearing frameworks, platforms and the like. The sheet-metal profile has a cross-section which, as a whole, fits into a rectangle (R), the width substantially exceeding the height. The sheet-metal profile is closed off at the top and bottom by narrow sides (1, 2) which extend over the entire width of the profile and are connected to one another via a web (11) which is angled off a number of times. Starting from two mutually opposite edges (7, 8) of the narrow sides, the web (11) extends first of all some way along one broad side of the rectangle (R) enclosing the profile. Subsequently, the web (11) bends off obliquely at an obtuse angle to the opposite, other broad side, where the web (11) finally forms a flat centre piece (14) arranged precisely in the plane of the other broad side. Such a sheet-metal profile has improved torsional behaviour and, in practice, permits a wider application range than the known sheet-metal profiles. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A known noise filter (1), e.g. for a paging receiver (30), comprises a shift register (3) with a number of stages (st1, st2, st3, st4, st5, st6) and a combinational majority logic circuit coupled to all stages of the shift register. The majority logic circuit becomes large and complex with an increasing number of shift register stages and furthermore the propagation delay between transitions in the data and the majority logic circuit becomes considerable. 
     According to the present invention an improved and less complicated arrangement (1) for estimating data from a noisy data signal is disclosed. The arangement (1) comprises a state machine as a majority logic arrangement (7) having up-count and down-count inputs (8, 9) coupled with only the first and last stages (st1, st6) of the shift register (3). The internal states of the state machine represent the number of "1"s in the shift register (3). The state machine (7) monitors the data samples entering and leaving the shift register (3), and a transition to a "higher" "1"s state occcurs on an up-count, i.e. when a "1" enters the shift register (3) and a "0" leaves the shift register (3). A transition to a "lower" "1"s state occurs on a down-count, i.e. when a "0" enters the shift register (3) and a "1" leaves the shift register (3). The states are decoded by a combinational circuit (23), states (s1, s2, s3, s4, s5) representing a minority of "1"s, being decoded as a logic "0", and states (s6, s7, s8, s9, s10) representing a majority of "1"s, being decoded as a logic "1".

Abstract: Method for the polling of queues. A ratio table is derived from, for example, the numbers of elements in the queues at any one moment. The sum S is calculated of the ratio values R(x) to the various queues. Next, a correction factor C(x) is assigned to each queue, which correction factor is equal to S, decreased by the ratio value of that queue. Further an urgency factor U(x) is assigned to each queue. The queue to be polled next is, in each case, the queue with the highest value of U(x) or, for example where values of U(x) are equal, the first occurring queue with that value. Thereafter the urgency factor U(x) of the selected queue is reduced by the value of its correction factor C(x), whilst the urgency factor U(x) of the remaining queues is increased by their ratio value. The queue to be polled next is then again the queue with the highest value of U(x), and so forth. The method is pre-eminently applicable for ATM, eg. for the polling of subscriber terminals in a passive optical network.

Abstract: In a pipe bending machine (10), a pipe is clamped by a pipe clamping head (16) which is rotatable about the axis of the pipe. A bending head (14) produces a series of bends in the pipe, without itself rotating about the pipe axis. The clamping head (16) includes a gear wheel (19), slotted (21) to receive the pipe, which carries a pair of jaws (24, 25) of which one (25) is pivotally mounted, so as to flop open to receive the pipe when a supporting movable body part (18) is separated from a fixed body part (17). The fixed and movable parts (17, 18) together define a circular track on which the jaw assembly (24, 25) rotates on roller bearings when driven by the gear wheel (19) and a cooperating worm (20) mounted in the fixed part (17). The apparatus does not have rotating bending heads and hence is less subject to wear and damage than a conventional machine.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent article, such as a diaper. The disposable absorbent article has a topsheet foreshortened relative to the backsheet. This foreshortening creates a void space between the topsheet and the backsheet. Fecal material is communicated through an aperture in the topsheet to the void space. At least two longitudinally oriented spacers are disposed in the void space to keep the void space open under the weight of the wearer's body. While the void space is open, fecal material communicated through the aperture can be transported towards the rear waistband without interuption significant obstruction, preferably isolating the fecal material from the skin of the wearer. This isolation provides for easier cleaning of the wearer when the disposable absorbent article is soiled and removed.

Title: High precision on-line dynamic signature verification system
Inventor: LIVSHITZ ALEXANDER
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 1993-03-04
Abstract: handwritten data verification, is obtained based on the comparison of the dynamics of a sample and a reference signature by use of a new implementation of correlation function analysis. The dynamic data concerning scriber movement during the process of signature making is recorded and converted to digital form. Prior to correlation function analysis for evaluating a to-be-verified signature, reference signature dynamic data and to-be-verified signature dynamic data digital signals are pre-processed to eliminate time distortions. The compared signals are reduced to the same time scale, thereby providing a frequency coincidence between the signals. A 'sliding window' mechanism is used to establish the mapping between phase coincident regions of the reference and of the to-be-verified signals. Then the multi-dimensional cross-correlation function analysis is applied to the pair of indivisible stationary signals. The sliding window mechanism provides two additional criteria to distinguish between authentic and forged signatures by determination of different characteristics of time distortions for such signals. The resulting measures of similarity are then compared with thresholds that have been selected to determine acceptance or rejection of the signature.

Abstract: Procédés de production de membranes microporeuses à partir de polymère de fluorure de vinylidène et produits obtenus selon ces procédés. Les membranes microporeuses présentent une vitesse d'écoulement significativement plus rapide pour une grosseur de pore donnée comparée à des membranes microporeuses de taille équivalente produites selon des techniques classiques. Les membranes microporeuses de l'invention peuvent également avoir des grosseurs de pores significativement inférieures à celles de membranes en polyflorure de vinylidène microporeuses classiques. Les membranes de l'invention présentent des caractéristiques macrostructurelles uniques du fait de leurs propriétés fonctionnelles. Le procédé consiste à dissoudre le polymère dans un liquide contenant un solvant ainsi qu'un co-solvant destiné au polymère. La dissolution du polymère peut être effectuée à des températures comprises entre environ 20°C et environ 50°C, tandis que la formation de la membrane microporeuse peut être effectuée à des températures comprises entre environ -10 °C et 50 °C. La sélection de paramètres de service appropriés de température et de concentration de solvant/co-solvant peut optimiser la membrane à une grosseur de pore nominale, une vitesse d'écoulement et une répartition polymère données.
