Abstract: A use-evident container for containing an object and selectively preventing elements outside said container to reach the object comprises two housing portions and two caps. The two housing portions define a chamber for surrounding an object. The housing portions each define at least one opening forming a first part of a fluid flow path between the chamber and outside of the housing. The caps close the at least one opening and have at least one cap hole forming a second part of the fluid flow path when the at least one opening and the at least one cap hole at least partially overlap one another. At least one cap connector rotatably connects the housing portions and the cap and enables the fluid flow path to be opened and closed by relative rotation of the housing portion and the cap. At least one single-use lock engages the housing portion and the cap and prevents the relative rotation. The lock holds the housing and the cap in a first relative position in which the fluid flow path is closed. The fluid flow path is openable only by the relative rotation to a second relative position and the relative rotation being possible only upon an unlocking of the single-use lock. The single-use lock thereafter permanently evidences the unlocking.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a washing machine that can be contained in small volumes, consisting of a modular water tank unit in order to allow the continuity of washing during interruptions of main water supply, or a modular storage unit to be used for different purposes; with superior performance, having a drive system that realizes the intelligent washing movements. By direct connection of the drive system to the drum, the height of the washing machine has been reduced to the extent that it conforms to the tank diameter thus permitting the use of the section at the lower part of the machine reserved for the motor, for various purposes. As the result of this reduction in the height of the washing machine and as the directly connected drive system causes less vibration, it has been possible to use the washing machine by placing it on a counter or by mounting it on the wall.

Abstract: The mold employs an insert with two types of section, one forming a support, another keying with it. When positioned on a section of the tire mold, the support projects from it. When located for molding, each key is assembled in its support. The mold is closed and the tread is molded. The keys are then extracted from the support(s). Finally, mold sections are retracted to the open position to extract the support(s). Independent claims are included for: the tire tread, made as described; the mold used, and the mold insert (10). Each key (16, 17) part-delimits an opening (20-23) of the insert. Each can be moved in a direction other than that of mold (11) opening or closing. The arrangement allows removal of the insert from the mold, without damaging the molding produced. Other preferred features of the insert are detailed. Preferred features: In the method, each key to be freed from its support in the molding insert, is moved in a direction differing from that of opening/closing of the mold section carrying the insert.

Abstract: Block paving is well known and can be used to create a circular paved area. Conventionally, rectangular blocks are used by arranging a first circle of blocks spread out like a fan around a centrepiece and subsequently further rows of blocks are fitted around the first row. Using this method the adjacent blocks are not parallel and there is a tapering gap between blocks which can be unsightly and difficult to fill. A method of manufacturing a set of paving blocks for use in producing a circular paved area is described, the set having at least a first course 11 and a second course 12 having a different radius from the first course, the courses being selected such that the set can be manufactured from a single mould. The method of manufacturing the set is such that the courses of the set can be assembled with a plurality of similar sets in a circular manner with the sides of adjacent blocks parallel, thereby avoiding unsightly gaps that are difficult to fill. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Production of the gate electrode of an insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) starting with an electrically conducting plate (20) covered with an insulating layer (22) and having connection plots (26,28) to be joined by soldering to connection pads of an integrated circuit chip, includes forming a conducting layer (30) covering the insulating layer (22), forming a conducting supply track and covering the track. The plate (20) is made of anodized metallic material, e.g. aluminum, and the conducting layer (30) and the supply track are formed by local metallization of the anodized layer. The local metallization of anodized layer is carried out by a laser treatment, and after the laser treatment a layer of metal is applied to the formed track. The supply track is covered by a second insulating layer, which can be done by anodizing the track. The connection plot is further coated with a layer of an antioxidant material as e.g. nickel, chromium, gold, or an alloy of these metals.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forwarding variable-length packets between channel-specific packet processor (82, 84, 86 and 88) and a crossbar (60) of a multiport switch involve segmenting variable-length packets (150) into fixed-length payload segments and multiplexing the payload segments with response or request data to form fixed-length switching blocks (160). The fixed-length switching blocks are transferred to and from the crossbar over respective input and output connections in order to minimize the number of connections between the packet processors and the crossbar. The input and output connections enable the transfer of a current packet through the crossbar while supplying the crossbar with request information necessary to schedule subsequent packets through the crossbar. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, packets are timed to pass through the crossbar one after another in order to utilize the maximum bandwidth of the crossbar.
