Abstract: A method of printing on a release layer of linerless label material including the step of advancing linerless label material and a thermal transfer ribbon coated with ink through a thermal printer. The ribbon is moved over a heated transfer element of the printer. The heated transfer element is located on an edge or on a corner of an edge of the thermal printer. The ribbon is then heated to cause the ink to reach a molten or fluid state. The ink transfers in its molten or fluid state to the release layer of the linerless label material. Certain wax/resin and resin based thermal transfer ribbons and silicone release coatings have been found to be particularly effective for increasing the ink transfer and anchorage during corner edge and true edge printing on linerless label material.

Abstract: Des sous-produits colorants et/ou toxiques réduisent la valeur utile du carbendazim. Jusqu'à présent, un certain nombre de procédés ont été proposés pour réduire la quantité de ces sous-produits indésirables. A l'aide d'un traitement simple et économique du carbendazim, ce nouveau procédé réduit notablement la quantité de ces sous-produits colorants et/ou toxiques ou les élimine même complètement. Grâce au traitement des charges impures de carbendazim avec un agent de diazotation dans l'acide, sa teneur en sous-produits est considérablement réduite ou les constituants indésirables sont totalement éliminés. Ce procédé s'utilise pour produire un fongicide répondant pleinement aux exigences dans ce domaine.

Abstract: An application programming interface implements and manages isochronous and asynchronous data transfer operations between an application and a bus structure. During an asynchronous transfer the API includes the ability to transfer any amount of data between one or more local data buffers within the application and a range of addresses over the bus structure using one or more asynchronous transactions. An automatic transaction generator may be used to automatically generate the transactions necessary to complete the data transfer. The API also includes the ability to transfer data between the application and another node on the bus structure isochronously over a dedicated channel. During an isochronous data transfer, a buffer management scheme is used to manage a linked list of data buffer descriptors. This linked descriptor list can form a circular list of buffers and include a forward pointer to the next buffer in the list and a backward pointer to the previous buffer in the list for each buffer. The linked descriptor list may all form a linear list to which the application can append additional buffers or remove existing buffers from the list. During isochronous transfers of data, the API provides implementation of a resynchronisation event in the stream of data allowing for resynchronisation by the application to a specific point within the data. Implementation is also provided for a callback routine for each buffer in the list which calls the application at a predetermined point during the transfer of data.

Abstract: A system by which external users, such as subscribers and service providers, can update their service data is disclosed. The system permits users to update their service data in a secure and controlled manner on a self-service basis in an intelligent network or other telecommunications network. An access system separate from the actual telecommunications services managing network elements is implemented in the invention, the access system providing the customers and service providers with an open interface to these network elements through a public data network. The access system controls access to the actual network elements by, for example, authenticating the party requesting access, checking whether the requesting party is associated with the data he/she desires to manipulate, and/or checking to which processing operations the requesting party is entitled. The users can thus access their own service data in the network elements managing the data in a manner controlled by the access system.

Abstract: During tunnel construction, the water emerging at various locations in the rock wall 2 must be removed through a drainage system 1 so that it does not endanger the shotcrete or other securing coating applied to it. This is achieved with a manufacturing process in which HDPE films of high impact resistance and tear resistance are heated in an appropriate form for a deep drawing process and drawn over a positive form by application of a vacuum, and so moulded that the same surface contouring is produced over the entire length in the arch area with smooth lateral parts. The shaped length 5 consists of an arch-shaped middle section 18 having sine-wave shaped ribs 9, 10, 11 and lateral parts 6, 7 running at an angle to this having no contouring, with single ribs 21 at predetermined intervals, running right across to the edges 19, 20 of the shaped length 5, which permit bending to either side. Shaped lengths 5 of this kind and moulded parts 12, 13, 14 are also not impaired or damaged by application of shotcrete, so that thereafter, the water which would otherwise endanger the shotcrete can be safely and lastingly conducted away. <IMAGE>
