Abstract: The inventive fitting (10) for connecting a pipe made of plastic and/or of a plastic-metal composite material is provided with a plastic fitting body (12) that has at least one pipe connection section (16) onto which the end (22) of a pipe (24) to be connected can be slid. The fitting body (12) comprises a joining section (18) that connects to the pipe connection section (16), and the pipe connection section (16) is restricted up to the joining section (18). The fitting (10) also comprises a press sleeve (26) that can be deformed in a ductile manner. Said press sleeve is assigned to the at least one pipe connection section (16) of the fitting body (12) and is provided for radially pressing the pipe (24) with the pipe connection section (16) of the fitting body (12). The press sleeve (26) comprises a pipe pressing section (28) and an end section (30). Said end section extends above the boundary between the joining section (18) and the pipe connection section (16) of the fitting body (12) and is disposed for at least partially enclosing the joining section (18) of the fitting body (12).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for conducting ultrasonic testing of pipes in order to detect inner deformations, particularly dents (38), in an inner wall (30) of the pipe (26). To this end, ultrasonic pulses are launched from an ultrasonic probe (20) into the pipe (26), which is to be tested, from the exterior and in a manner that is essentially radial to an outer wall (28) of the pipe (26) to be tested, upon which several to-and-fro passes are executed between the outer wall (28) and an inner wall (30) of the pipe (26). During each to-and-fro pass of the pulse, a portion thereof emerges from the outer surface as an echo pulse. These echo pulses are recorded by a receiving ultrasonic probe that converts the echo pulses into electric signals. The electric signals are evaluated in an evaluation unit as to determine the magnitude of the drop, whereby a significant drop below a threshold value is indicated as a dent (38), and a slight decline is indicated as a pipe (26) that is free of dents.

Abstract: A method for real-time authentication or authorization of a user (1) of a secured system (3) is based on using two authentication channels and an authentication device (4) from which the secured system can request authentication or authorization (6) over a secured information network connection (6, 9). One of the authentication channels is a telephone network (8), to which the authentication device (4) is connected. A user logging into the secured system (3) over the other channel (6) of the authentication channels must make a call to the authentication device over the telephone network by his or her telephone (2). The authentication device verifies that a call has been received from a telephone number of the user's telephone, and issues a positive verification response to the secured system. Upon receiving a positive response, the secured system provides a requested service through the other channel.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for making a card with tips for testing semiconductor chips with microsphere bond pads. A first adhesive coat is vacuum deposited on a flexible polyimide film, followed by a second metal coat. A combination of UV photolithography and electroforming of a metal material enables to obtain the implantation of the tips. The pattern of the strip conductors is obtained by a second UV lithography operation whereby the second metal layer and the first adhesive coat are etched. An insulating protective resist is deposited on the active conductive zone. The flexible film is mounted on a truncated maintaining component whereof the vertical translational and planar rotational movements are made possible by a guide supported on a spring suspension. The defective alignment between the plane of the tips and the plane of the tips and the printed circuit plane is corrected by a correcting system with three support points adjustable with screws.

Abstract: A cutting method and apparatus are provided to cut a portion of an optical fibre or waveguide with a laser beam. The proposed cutting action takes advantage of the sharp cutting edge of a laser beam generated so as to have a predetermined asymmetric intensity distribution. In operation, a prescribed amount of the beam distribution is impinged on the fibre or waveguide portion and causes the portion to ablate or vaporise so as to effect a cut at the portion in dependence upon the impingement. No translation of the laser beam across the fibre or waveguide is effected during cutting. The proposed cutting action bears definite advantages over conventional cutting techniques and finds utility for many optical fibre or waveguide applications. For example, the proposed cutting action can produce a substantially flat optical fibre or waveguide surface or a lens of enhanced quality at the end of the fibre or waveguide portion.

Abstract: A method for avoiding spurious emissions in an AM transmitter for digital transmission includes converting a digital modulation for controlling the AM transmitter into an amplitude signal for an amplitude branch, and a phase-modulated RF signal for a RF branch. Non-linear distortions in an amplitude response and a delay-time characteristic of an amplitude branch are compensated for using a pre-equalization with inverse shapes by measuring and storing the amplitude response and the delay-time characteristic of the RF branch. An inverse transfer function is determined using respective shapes of the measured amplitude response and delay-time characteristic by an inverse Fourier transform. An equalizing network is dimensioned for the determined inverse transfer function. The equalizing network is connected in series upstream of the RF branch. The amplitude and RF branches are combined downstream of the amplitude and RF branches.

Abstract: Content of multiple digital bit streams with essentially the same renderable content, and situated at mutually remote locations, are played back in unison. First, time is synchronized among the processors that participate in a synchronized viewing session by playing back respective streams. Second, the playbacks are content-wise aligned, by rewinding or fast forwarding, to effect overall a precisely synchronized presentation. The content-wise alignment is achieved by means of a status message between processors that contains information characteristic of the sender's bit stream. If any participant, performs a control function (e.g. rewind, fast forward, stop), all other participants follow synchronously. The processor that initiates the session is deemed the initiator, a role that is thereafter assumed by the participant that has last performed a control function. The initiator directs all participants, at session startup, upon execution of each control function, and periodically, to synchronize their playbacks to that of the initiator, whereby all playbacks are synchronized and maintain in synchronization.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium which reduce the occurrence of incomplete recordings of television programs by video cassette recorders (VCR) (130), or other types of video recorders, by adding margins (6, 7) to the programmed start and end times (1, 2) of the recording. The margins (6, 7) cause the recording to start earlier than the programmed start time (1) by a specified amount of time (ΔTB), and to stop later than the programmed stop time by another specified amount of time (ΔTE). Therefore, when a television program starts a few minutes earlier, or ends a few minutes later than scheduled, the present invention helps ensure that the entire television program will be recorded by the video recorder, despite the fact that the video recorder was programmed in accordance with to the scheduled times (1, 2).
