Abstract: This arbitration method for send mode access to the synchronous transmission medium of a distributed switching network is applied to a network architectured around a transmission medium shared over time between various stations, and in which the said medium is structured into repetitive time positions, and in which, an ideal time position for access having been assigned, according to specified access criteria, respectively to the various stations communicating inside this network, overflows of the said stations from the ideal time positions thus assigned are authorised. This arbitration method enables an increasing priority of access to be obtained in respect of an increasing backlog of traffic due to these overflows.

Abstract: In the case of a method of manufacturing roughened fibre reinforcing elements for concrete structures, a multiplicity of reinforcing fibres (1) are embedded unidirectionally in a matrix of synthetic resin, which is cured by the effect of heat together with the reinforcing fibres (1) to form a fibre-reinforced thermoset plastic core and is subsequently provided with a plastic coating. The plastic coating comprises a hot-crosslinkable thermoset plastic coating layer of a thickness of at least 180  mu m, which is applied during the curing of the plastic core to the outer circumference of the latter at a temperature between 180 DEG C and 230 DEG C to the warm, tacky matrix of the plastic core and, melting as it is applied, bonds superficially with the matrix. After this, a powder or fine-grained granules of quartzitic material or of thermoplastic or thermoset plastic is applied to the tacky surface of the melting plastic coating layer and its grains partially penetrate into the warm coating layer and, not melting or not melting completely, become anchored in it. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The shear (11) for shearing laminar elements (35) or the like comprises a pair of blade-holders (31, 32), which, during the shearing operation, are stressed by two forces (Fx and Fy) perpendicular to each other and having as their resultant, the force FR. At the shearing time, both of said blade-holders (31, 32) are supported in an inclined position, so that their main axes (20, 21) come to coincide with the direction of said resultant force (FR). From the above, the possibility results that the mass of the inclined blade-holder can be reduced even by 50% relatively to the mass of a traditional blade-holder which is not inclined, without the stiffness of said blade-holder, relatively to the shearing forces, being endangered. The invention can be applied as well to guillotine shears and to rotary shears (45) equipped with roll blade-holders.

Abstract: A method of operating a data processing system, in particular a micro-computer, comprises a backup process in which a copy of every change made to a storage medium is recorded as the change occurs. Write operations for writing data to the storage medium are each preceded by a backup write operation to backup storage means, successive backup write operations being controlled so as to be stored as a sequential list in the backups storage means in the form of location blocks and data blocks to avoid the overwriting occurring in the storage medium. These backup write operations are executed at the level of the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the microcomputer in such a manner that normal use of the computer is unaffected. The method also includes a restore process in which bad sectors of a destination storage device are avoided by translating the file allocation table (FAT) and directories of the original data.

Abstract: The saw unit (2) of the plate saw is to be secured, on the one hand, in its two rest positions against unintentional twisting and is to be guided, on the other hand, during the plunging, i.e. shortly before and during the cutting operation, exactly in the desired cutting plane. This dual function is performed by a device which possesses a locking member (4), fixed to the saw beam (1) and having a guiding plate (6), and also two guiding devices (3) arranged offset by 90 DEG relative to one another on the saw unit (2). The locking member (4) is resiliently suspended and secures the saw unit in its rest position in cooperation with a stop wedge (21) provided on the guiding device (3) and projecting upwards. During the plunging, a guiding plate (6) arranged on the locking member (4) passes between two rollers (15, 20) rotatably mounted on the guiding device (3). In this case, the guiding plate (6) is pressed by the roller (20), which is prestressed by springs (17), against the fixedly, but adjustably arranged roller (15). As a result, the saw unit, and with it the saw blade, is securely guided. The springs (17) furthermore serve to absorb the impact occurring during the transition from the horizontal cut to the vertical cut. <IMAGE>
