Abstract: A method of handling an empty beverage container having opposed first and second ends of different properties, the container having an axis extending between the first and second ends, said first end defined as a bottom end of the container and said second end defined as a mouth region of the container, the method comprising the step of moving the container, from a return vending machine inlet, in a direction towards an outlet thereof. Through use of the method there is detected by means of a video camera the container when moved in a lying posture into or past a detection zone of the video camera and the manner by which the container is inserted at said inlet. Further, there is determined whether the container is moved into the detection zone with its first end first or with its second end first. If the container is delivered into the detection zone with its first end first, the container is transported to said outlet. If, however, the container is delivered into the detection zone with its second end first, then the container is caused to be returned to the inlet. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Abstract: A structural chassis includes a structural chassis and a foam chassis or sock liner sandwiched together to form an assembly that can be inserted into and substantially occupy a footbed of a shoe upper. Discrete sole elements are attached to a bottom side of the upper so as to expose certain portions of the bottom side therebetween. This absence of outsole material in those areas makes the upper collapsible about those areas since the outsole provides no support in those areas. Instead, the structure is provided by the chassis of the chassis, which is customized to the user's foot by placing one or more notches in strategic locations along the chassis where the foot naturally flexes. One such notch is located on the chassis in a position that allows the chassis to flex about a forward push-off axis of the foot that runs through the first and second MTP joints. Two collinear notches are formed on the chassis to allow the structural chassis shoe to flex about a lateral push-off axis that runs through the third, fourth and fifth MTP joints.

Abstract: The invention relates to a low/very low bit rate video coding method fully compatible with the H.263 standard and comprising a first forward coding step, a second backwards prediction step, and a third decision step including a selection sub-step between so-called intra and inter coding modes. This decision step controls in said intra coding mode a down-conversion filtering sub-step, carried out at the beginning of the coding step and allowing to code and transmit original intra pictures with a lower resolution, and a corresponding up-conversion filtering sub-step, carried out in the prediction step. IN the receiving terminal, the decoder recognizes the reduced format of the pictures and up-scales them. Application: videophone and video conference.

Abstract: A device (8) which includes an electroacoustic transducer (7) for the acoustic reproduction of sound signals to an ear (14) of a user (2) who assumes a user position at the device. The transducer is optimized for the acoustic reproduction of speech-signal sound waves and is equipped with arrangement means (25) for realizing a distinct directivity for the speech-signal sound waves emitted by the transducer. As a result of its directivity, the transducer directs the speech-signal sound waves which it emits preferentially to the ear of a user who is in the user posture.

Abstract: A resonator for use in a marker in a magnetomechanical electronic article surveillance system is composed of an amorphous magnetostrictive alloy containing iron, cobalt, nickel, silicon and boron in quantities for giving the resonator a quality Q which is between about 100 and 600. When the resonator is excited to resonate by a signal emitted by the transmitter in the surveillance system, it produces a signal at a mechanical resonant frequency fr which can be detected by the receiver of the detection system. Due to the resonator having a quality Q in the above range, a signal is produced having an amplitude at approximately 1ms after excitation which is no more than 15 dB below an amplitude of the signal immediately after excitation and having an amplitude at approximately 7 ms after excitation which is at least 15 dB below said amplitude at 1 ms after excitation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The calender assembly, to process a web of paper and similar materials, has rollers with an adjustable bend, and all the bending rollers (4,8,9,13) are a lifting mantle type on carriers fixed to the frame. The uppermost intermediate rollers (5,10) in each roller stack are fixed to the frame. The lower roller (8) of the first roller stack (2) in the calendar assembly and the upper roller (9) of the second roller stack (3) are next to each other, and can form an additional closing nip (34) through the lifting mantle action. The roller bending adjustment system has a support row which can be moved by 180 degrees by a setting unit (22) with a lifting guide. The second and third intermediate rollers (6,7,11,12) in each roller stack are mounted on levers (27) which pivot on axes fitted to the machine frame. In both stacks of rollers (2,3), the upper rollers (4,9) and the center intermediate rollers (6,11) and the lower rollers (8,13) have elastic mantle claddings. The other rollers (5,7,10,12) are heated rollers with hard mantles. The entry feed unit (45) directs the web through all the nips (25-33) in both roller stacks (2,3) and the additional nip (34). All the rollers (4-13) in both roller stacks (2,3) have their own drives (46). The calender rollers lie on a common plane (E) at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal, on columns (16) supported at the top and bottom on mounting surfaces (35,36) formed by the concrete foundation sections (40,41). The calender rollers are on the upper side of the columns (16), and at least one roller can be moved by a setting unit (49) at right angles to the roller plane (E). The bearing mounting for the carrier of at least one roller with an adjustable bend has an eccentric, which can reduce the gap between adjacent adjustable bend rollers (8,9). The eccentric is rotated with the carrier by the setting unit (22). The calender assembly is located between the final drying cylinder (42) and the web winding station (43), and at their levels.
