Abstract: L'invention concerne un navire de chargement de marchandises (1), qui comprend une pluralité de coques de chargement de marchandises (2a, 2b) reliées par au moins deux structures de liaison (3, 4) présentant chacune des jambes (5a, 5b, 7a, 7b) qui s'étendent depuis une coque et qui sont reliées à celle-ci de manière sensiblement rigide. Lesdites structures de liaison (3, 4) comprennent des parties flexibles permettant aux coques (2a, 2b) de se déplacer l'une par rapport à l'autre jusqu'à une limite prédéterminée. Un tel déplacement permet de réduire les contraintes et les déformations associées au mouvement induit par un transport maritime. Le déplacement relatif des coques (2a, 2b) intervient au moyen de la déflexion des structures de liaison (3, 4), la majeure partie de la déflexion au sein de chaque structure de liaison se produisant à distance des points de liaison entre chaque jambe (5a, 5b, 7a, 7b) et lesdites coques. Ledit navire (1) est supposé présenter un poids, un tirant d'eau et un coût structural comparativement faibles pour sa capacité de chargement, et est particulièrement approprié à un accès à des ports de petite envergure.

Abstract: When a probe unit (3) and a sheath unit (4) are
coupled to each other, an engaging portion (7c, 7e) of
the probe unit (3) is coupled directly to a vibrator
unit (2) through an engaging hole portion (57c, 57d) if
the probe unit (3) is combined with a proper sheath
(14). If the probe unit 3 is combined with an improper
sheath (14), the engaging portion (7c, 7e) is not
allowed to pass through the engaging hole portion (57c,
57d). Thus, the probe unit (3) and the vibrator unit
(2) can be prevented from being wrongly assembled, and
only those parts which wear easily can be replaced.
And the same protection system can be applied to an
engagement of a sheath unit and a body of ultrasonic
surgical instrument.

Abstract: The invention concerns a board turner (1, 31) for use on a conveyor (3) for
transporting large volumes of boards. The conveyor (3) defines a plane for carrying
boards (14) and the board turner (1, 31) has a rotation unit (4) and a gripping unit (7)
mounted on the rotation unit (4). The gripping unit (7) has an open position and a closed
position and is switchable between these positions in response to a signal from a sensor.
In the open position, the gripping unit (7) rotates past the carrying plane without making
contact with the synchronously arriving board (14). A signal from the sensor switches the
gripping unit (7) between the open position and the closed position while the gripping unit
(7) grips two opposite surfaces of a sideways extending part of the board (14) and
continues to rotate above the belt conveyor (3) in order to turn the board (14) in this way.

Abstract: In (α, β) coordinates defined by a back angle α and a knee angle β, a pattern that connects between a coordinate point (0, 0) at which each of a back bottom (2) and a knee bottom (5) is horizontal and a coordinate point (α 0 , β 0 ) which is a final reaching point for a back lift-up operation and at which the back bottom is lifted up by a plurality of points is set, an optimal pattern which provides less slipperiness and less oppressive feeling is acquired beforehand, and a control section (60) moves the back bottom and the knee bottom along the optimal pattern. This reliably prevents a carereceiver from slipping, regardless of subjective judgment by an operator or a carer, at the time of performing a back lift-up operation and back lift-down operation of an electric bed. It is therefore possible to prevent pressure from being applied onto the abdominal region and chest region of the carereceiver, thus relieving the carereceiver and carer of the burden.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for processing digital multi-colour images for the
reproduction thereof on a colour printing and/or copying system. Particularly, the
printing and/or copying system should be capable of complementary forming registered
composite multi-colour images of coloured marking particles. This means that the
separation images of coloured marking particles are formed contiguous to each other
rather than in a superimposed relationship. The digital multi-colour images are
processed such that during reproduction thereof any adverse effects on image quality
caused by register errors in a predetermined direction are eliminated or at least limited.
To accomplish this, a particular halftoning technique is suggested wherein with
gradually increasing input density value of the image pixels a linear growth pattern is
generated in the predetermined direction by alternately adding image dots to both sides.

Abstract: A multiplexed frame based client signal comprising a payload and a client
overhead is transported between first and second client networks over a plurality of
signal paths by inverse multiplexing the client signal into a plurality of lower rate
signals each containing a respective payload and client overhead; attaching a
carrier overhead to each said lower rate signal; transmitting the lower rate signals
over the plurality of paths from the first client network to the second client network;
and, at the second network, discarding the carrier overhead from each lower rate
signal, and reassembling the lower rate signals so as to recover the client signal..
The method enables bandwidth trading utilising virtual concatenation of
synchronous optical channels, such that transparent transmission of a customers
signals over any variety of intermediate networks can be achieved without requiring
that the intermediate networks support virtual concatenation.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for testing the random numbers generated by a random-number generator in real time. A stream of random bits is generated using a random-number generator, then the generated random bits undergo a functional-exponential-average gap length calculation in which distances between occurrences of a plurality of sub-sequences having identical bit patterns are identified and applied to functional weighting and exponential averaging to obtain an average gap length. The average gap length is compared to a predetermined acceptance range, such that if the average gap length repeatedly falls outside the predetermined acceptance range more than a predetermined number of times, it is determined that the generated random bits are insufficiently random.
