Abstract: Disclosed is a positively chargeable toner comprising, as a charge-controlling agent, an acid adduct, metal complex or derivative of a 2-­alkylimidazole represented by the following formula:
      wherein R₂ stands for an alkyl group having 11 through 17 carbon atoms, and R₄ stands for a hydrogen atom or a methyl group. 
     In this toner, a high charge-controlling effect is attained with a small amount of the charge-controlling agent, and since the charge-controlling agent has a white color or light color, this toner is advantageously used as an electrostatic photographic toner for the color printing.

Abstract: A drop deflection device suitable for use in a drop marking system employs an electret (9). Electrically conductive marking drops (1) such as inks are given an electrical charge. The drops (1) pass between a pair of deflection plates (8, 9) at least one of which is formed by an electret (a dielectric material which has been subjected to corona discharge to create a relatively permanent electrically charged material body). Depending upon the presence or absence of a charge on a particular drop (1), it will be deflected by the field (6) between the plates (8, 9) on to a substrate (11) for marking. If uncharged, the drops (1) continue to a collection device (10) which returns them to the ink reservoir.

Abstract: In a tube magazine, the bobbin tubes (2) are stacked one above the other in layers, and the bobbin tubes (2), at least those of the lowest layer, are isolated and withdrawn from the tube magazine (1). A support, which moves in the direction of the removal position, acts on the underside of the bobbin tubes (2) of the lowest layer. As a result, a tangential force is applied to the bobbin tubes (2) which substantially rolls the bobbin tubes (2) towards the removal position. 
<??>In a device for storing bobbin tubes (2) in a tube magazine (1), there is arranged underneath the stored bobbin tubes (2) a conveyor (3) for isolating the bobbin tubes (2). The running direction of the conveyor (3) is directed substantially tangentially to the surface of the stored bobbin tubes (2). Also arranged in the tube magazine (1) is a device for withdrawing the isolated bobbin tubes (2) from the tube magazine (1). The lowest layer of the bobbin tubes (2) is arranged on a support which is moveable in the direction of the removal position. This support exerts a tangential force on the surfaces of the bobbin tubes (2), thereby substantially rolling the bobbin tubes (2) in the direction of the removal position.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical cart for retaining a plurality of dispensing bins (108) on shelves is provided with cooperating horizontal and vertical locking bars (116, 110) to provide easy access to each of the individual bins (108) and a simplified locking mechanism which prevents bins (108) from being removed when in a locked position. The cart is equipped with a plurality of cassettes (107), each having a pair of spaced-apart parallel shelves, and a plurality of dispensing bins (108) disposed side-by-side on the shelves and slidably removable from the front of the cart. The horizontally extending locking bar (116), which has an elongated cross section, extends frontally to the lower part of bins (108) on the upper shelf and the upper part of bins (108) on the lower shelf. The locking bar (116) is pivotally attached to the walls of the cassette (107) and may be rotated to a horizontal position for removal of individual ones of the bins (108). The vertical locking bar (110) is hingedly attached to one side of the cart and in its locking position extends in front of the cassettes (107) to prevent their removal and engages the horizontal locking bar (116) of each of the cassettes (107) to prevent their rotation. In this manner, operation of the vertical locking bar (110) to its locked position locks each of the cassettes (107) and each of the bins (108) individually.

Abstract: A connector assembly (5, 5′) includes buffer material (16, 16′) surrounding the optical fibers (11, 11′) at one end of an optical fiber light cable (3) and a ferrule (17, 17′) crimped onto the buffer material (16, 16′) which squeezes the buffer material and packs the optical fiber ends substantially solid. During the crimping operation, the buffer material protects the optical fibers from the ferrule while permitting the optical fibers to be deformed to a desired cross-sectional shape, for example, to that of a polygon so they are packed more solid. Different types of shielding (46, 48, 50, 55) may be used to prevent light from a light source from striking selected areas of the polished end of the connector assembly (5′) including particularly the buffer material (16′) and, if desired, a surrounding ferrule (17′) to reduce heat build-up in the connector assembly (5′) so that more light energy can be transmitted through the light cable (3) without overheating.

Abstract: A method by which redundant network interface modules (NIM)s interconnecting the communication buses of two local area networks communicate with one another at predetermined time intervals over the communication buses of both networks. One of the redundant pair of NIMs is designated as the primary and the other as the secondary. Contents of the information communicated between the NIMs over the communication bus of the first network includes the status of the transmitting NIMs ability to communicate with the second network and the information communicated between the NIMs over the communication bus of the second network includes the status of the transmitting NIM's ability to communicate with the first network. Based on the information exchanged, the failure of the NIMs to communicate as scheduled, and the internal status of each NIM as understood by that NIM, the NIM decide when failover from the primary NIM to the secondary NIM occurs.

Abstract: An electrical connector for the connection of electrical conductors, especially of raster grid leads, having an insulating material housing for a number of contact elements corresponding to the number of poles, which contact elements in each case have at least one connecting limb which can be firmly anchored to a connector support such as a circuit board, the insulating material housing being supported on a bearing section of the contact element such that it can move between a first and a second setting, and the contact element having spring-elastic clamping limbs to form a clamping zone with mutually opposite clamping edges which engage on the conductor, is characterised in that, close to the connecting limb of the contact element, two spring limbs are integrally formed, which extend like tines of a fork away from said contact element in the direction of the conductor to be inserted, and whose free end sections pointing towards one another form the clamping limbs having clamping edges and grip the conductor between them like tongs. In this way, in the case of extremely miniaturised connectors, the large clamping forces which are important for a reliable electrical connection are transmitted to the conductor to be connected. Furthermore, the arrangement allows the clamping zone to be reopened easily in order to remove the conductor without destroying it. <IMAGE>
