Abstract: A wire reel containing portion (3) of a reinforcing bar binding machine (1) is provided with a rotation detecting lever (8) and a photosensor (7). When a wire reel is rotated in starting to bind a wire, rotation thereof is detected by the rotation detecting lever switched ON/OFF by a projected portion formed at a side face of the wire reel, the photosensor detects a reflection mark of the wire reel to determine a kind of the wire from a number of the marks, and a twist torque or the like is controlled. Wire information is detected not in an initializing operation (in setting wire) of rotating the wire reel at low speed but in a binding operation of rotating at high speed and therefore, an amount of swinging the rotation detecting lever is large and wire information can firmly be detected.

Abstract: A method of estimating data throughput between at least two nodes in a data communication network is provided, wherein at least two networked data communication devices are respectively configured as a source node and a sink node. A maximum packet delay target parameter (d Max ) and a violation probability target parameter (p Delay ) are initially set. A predetermined number of data packets are sent from the source node to the sink node according to a first constant data transmission rate. The predetermined number of data packets are received at the sink node, which calculates a packet delay distribution and a probability (V iol ) of violating the maximum packet delay target parameter (d Max ) based on the calculated distribution. The sink node determines whether the calculated probability (V iol ) is equivalent to the violation probability target p Delay  whereby the rate R constitutes the data throughput capacity between the at least two nodes when the condition is true.

Abstract: The goal of this invention is improved and safe locking mechanisms, i.e. constructions of a lower automatic and an upper improved locking mechanisms that are designed for protection against deformation of doors in cargo containers, as well as a method of usage of the lower automatic locking mechanism that is designed to make a driver's work easier. Trying to strengthen and protect container doors from deformation, it is offered to use an automatic lower locking mechanism instead of an additional standard lower locking mechanism, and to use an improved upper locking mechanism instead of a standard upper locking mechanism. The essence of the lower automatic locking mechanism is a construction, which automatically locks up when container doors are pushed to close. The usage of the lower automatic locking mechanism makes a driver's work easier, as it is easier and more comfortable for a driver to close doors and locking mechanisms and not to care about the closing of the lower automatic locking mechanism. The essence of the upper improved locking mechanism is a construction, which in the locked up state, when the pressure from the inner space of a container is periodically changing, adopts to the pressure differences and not only performs the function of the lock, but also protects container doors and container sides against deformation.
