Title: Method for the automatic establishment of interconnections for data, speech and announcements in communication exchanges
IPC: H04M3/50
Filed: 1991-05-03
Abstract: 2.1. A method is to be proposed with which a multiplicity of additional facilities which are useful for communication exchanges can be implemented with no need for substantial initial outlay in the standard version. Existing structures are to be used in such a way that no existing methods need to be modified when new facilities are added. The existing signalling paths between the control devices are to be incorporated in the method in such a way that connection paths need to be switched only if voice transmission is to take place. 2.2 A processing unit is provided which is connected via a bus line system to the local group controllers and the central controller and which can exchange information with these controllers. The processing unit is instructed from a data terminal to establish a connection when a predetermined time or event occurs, or, in the case of specific facilities, independently detects that a connection is to be established for data and/or voice. The group controllers involved in a connection are then controlled by the processing unit as if the connection had been established directly from a terminal. 2.3 When a new facility is set up in the processing unit, no consideration needs to be given to structures or programs already present in the communication exchange. The central control device carries a lighter load because the processing unit and the local controllers can exchange information directly with one another. The switching network available for establishing connections carries a lighter load because, for example, connections do not have to be established via it for data entries. A multiplicity of solutions optimally adapted to specific commercial applications are possible. <IMAGE>

Title: A pattern development system
IPC: G05B19/4093
Filed: 1992-04-24
Abstract: A pattern development system (46) for use during the garment development process includes a digitizer (48) with a work surface (56). The designer draws the lines (36) of a garment pattern segment (38) on a sheet (54) placed on the work surface with a stylus (50) that enables the digitizer to present position signals to a controller (58) in real time. The controller includes algorithms to compose the drawn lines into a garment segment pattern as well as compensate for human errors such as multiply drawn lines and missing line portions. The present system is transparent to the designer in operation as it adapts to the human designer rather than forcing the designer to adapt to the system. <IMAGE>

Title: Device for emptying containers
Inventor: RECK HERBERT
IPC: B65F3/04
Filed: 1992-06-16
Abstract: In order to make it possible to empty in particular, large containers with a crew of just one person, an emptying device with a tilting/lifting device 1 and a control unit 4 is described to which a trigger switch 2 is connected which is actuated by the container to be emptied as it approaches the lifting/tilting device and which triggers the raising phase of the lifting/tilting process automatically. When a preset raised level of the lifting/tilting device is reached the control unit interrupts the raising phase. In addition, a first manual actuator 8 to trigger the automatic emptying process, which actuator has an effect upon the control unit 4 only after the interruption of the lifting process, is connected to the control unit. The control unit 4 contains a programmable device 5 into which the preset raised level can be inputted. The programmable device 5 also assumes the function of monitoring the preset time spans, such as the time span between the actuation of the trigger switch 2 and the actuation of the acknowledgement signal switch 3. After the container is emptied, putting the container back down completely is accomplished by means of a second manual actuator 9.

Title: Marbled floor covering and process for its production
Inventor: GRAAB GERHARD DR
IPC: B29C43/24
Filed: 1995-10-20
Abstract: A rubber moir+E,acu e+EE  floor covering is disclosed. The covering is produced by continuously feeding a screw-type short extruding machine having a length/diameter ratio of 6:1 with two or three varicolored strips of vulcanizable elastomeric material. The operating temperature is between 60 DEG  C. to 100 DEG  C. The elastomeric material leaves the extruder via a perforated disk having 200 to 600 cylindrical bore holes 3-5 mm in diameter. Each of the resulting strands is severed to produce segments that are 1 to 2 mm thick, the formed pieces are then cooled off on a section 4 meters to 6 meters long. Subsequently, the formed pieces are allowed to fall into the roll nip of a temperature controllable two-bowl calendar. The web of material leaving the calendar is fed to a continuous vulcanization installation and leaves it as finished floor covering. The material throughput rate in this continuous process may be varied from 700 kg/h up to 1300 kg/h.

Abstract: An oxy-fuel burner
includes an outer oxidant tube (12), an intermediate fuel tube (14) and
an inner oxidant tube (16) which are coaxially arranged with the
fuel tube disposed between the inner and outer oxidant tubes.
Characteristics of the flame produced by the burner may be
controlled by varying the relative flow rates of the inner and
outer oxidant flows. An increase in the percentage of the
total oxidant which is provided to the inner oxidant tube
causes the length and luminosity of the flame to decrease and
the flame momentum to increase.
The characteristics of a burner flame can be
tailored to a particular application without requiring
mechanical modification of the burner.
