Abstract: Groups (2) of cigarettes (3,17) in their wrappings (4,6) are moved against an impact surface (23), the cigarettes are separated from their wrapping due to the impact, and both are removed separately. The groups are moved pneumatically, pref. using suction air. The speed of the air flow after the impact within a filtering zone (24) is reduced by increasing the size of the flow, so that after impact the cigarettes drop to the ground and the wrappings are removed upwards by the air, and are collected in separate containers (14,16).

Abstract: The mirror comprises mirror head and mirror foot (3) where the head is prevented from striking against the vehicle body through detent means with gear wheel (14) which is connected flush through friction face (16) to a detent ring (17) between gearwheel and mirror foot. The detent ring has detent cams and recesses so that with external force acting in drive direction on mirror head the detent release moment is less than when external force acts against drive direction on mirror head. The friction moment between gear wheel and detent ring is greater than detent moment when external force acts in drive direction and is less than detent release moment when external force acts against drive direction.

Abstract: The extruder head (1), and preferably a film blowing head, has an inner cylindrical mandrel (2) which has at least one drilling (6) at the foot zone for the feed of the molten material for extrusion. A sealing ring (7) is shrunk to the mandrel (2) near its foot (3). A cylinder mantle is mounted over the ring (7), in a sealed fit which, with the mandrel (2), forms a ring channel (10). The mandrel (2) has a number of spiral grooves (4), leading from the foot end (3), with a reducing depth towards the jet gap (5) and closed towards the foot (3). The drillings (6) carry the molten material into the leading ends of the grooves, and the starting zone for the grooves is sealed by a sealing ring (7) shrunk onto the mandrel (2) where its surface carries no grooves. The mandrel foot (3) and the ring (7) give a common plane for a radial ring surface, together with the mantle (11). The mantle (11) is clamped with the ring (7) to the ring surface (8) of the foot by expansion screws.

Abstract: For transmitting data packets between first and second networks via an access point, the access point stores an address which represents one of the networks. The data packets are transmitted between the networks according to a destination address included in the data packets which relates to the address stored in the access point. To make it efficient for relatively stable terminals to communicate, addresses only included in specific packets are stored in the access points and an address is allocated in the access point as an individual address. Thus, such transmissions are effectively carried out without consuming time, bandwidth, memory capacity and complicating the process. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Improved methods for converting phosphite or phosphonate esters into corresponding thiophosphites or thiophosphonates and for synthesizing specific thiophosphite and thiophosphonate compounds so produced are disclosed and claimed. The methods start from phosphite diesters using P4S10 as the thionation reagent. The reaction mixture is refluxed until the reaction is complete and may be followed by separation and chloroformate ester phosphonation steps to produce pure thiophosphonocarboxylate triesters. Alternatively, these esters may be prepared directly by action of P4S10 on the corresponding phosphonocarboxylate esters. The former method was used to prepare dimethyl thiophosphite and thence trimethyl thiophosphonoformate, a key intermediate in synthesis of salts of thiophosphonoformic acid, which have anti-viral properties.

Abstract: A method, a computer system and a computer program product for a computer system for transforming general On-line Analytical Processing (OLAP) hierarchies into summarizable hierarchies whereby pre-aggregation is disclosed, by which fast query response times for aggregation queries without excessive storage use is made possible even when the hierarchies originally are irregular. Pre-aggregation is essential for ensuring adequate response time during data analysis. Most OLAP systems adopt the practical pre-aggregation approach, as opposed to full pre-aggregation, of materializing only select combinations of aggregates and then re-use these for efficiently computing other aggregates. However, this re-use of aggregates is contingent on the dimension hierarchies and the relationships between facts and dimensions satisfying stringent constraints. The present invention significantly extends the scope of practical pre-aggregation by transforming irregulare dimension hierarchies and fact-dimension relationships into well-behaved structures that enable practical pre-aggregation.

Abstract: In a method in an optical system, a structure having a periphery is reproduced by means of an objective and an electronic representation of the structure is produced. Moreover is it analysed how the intensity in the electronic representation varies at the periphery of the structure. This intensity variation is then used to determine an application focus value which indicates how the current focus position of the objective is related to an optimal focus position for the application at issue. The method can be used, for example, for automatic focusing or for optical checking of objects.

Abstract: A small electric motor has a rotor with a permanent magnet and a shaft having a first end provided with a depression. Axial and radial bearings support the shaft. A bushing receives the first end of the shaft. The axial bearing has a non-magnetic ball positioned in the depression. A side of the ball remote from the shaft runs against a running surface of the bushing. The shaft is magnetically loaded toward the running surface so that the ball is forced against the running surface. The shaft is ferromagnetic and part of a magnetic circuit of the permanent magnet. The ball forms an air gap at the first shaft end. An end face of the shaft facing the air gap forms a magnetic pole that attracts magnetic particles in the area of the axial bearing and keeps them away from the running surface to counteract destruction of running surface and ball.

Abstract: Pull-out shelf for mounting on rack uprights, comprising two brackets (4) projecting from the uprights. Each bracket bears a pullout rail (7) and a shelf plane (8-12) or equivalent, supported by the rails, for articles which are to be placed on the shelf. The shelf comprises at least one releasable locking member which, when an associated operating member (18) is acuated manaully, releases the pull-out rails (7), so that these can be pulled out and pushed in, and, in the unactuated state, locks the rails relative to the brackets (4). The locking members are adapted so as, when the operating member is unactuated, to lock the rails under the action of a spring force, the manual actuation of the operating member taking place counter to the action of this spring force. Releasing the operating member then results in instantaneous locking of the rails and thus the shelf in the current position, which allows stepless locking of the shelf in optional positions between an inner and an outer end position.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for coating a metallic device with a radioactive isotope. The coated devices are characterized as having a low rate of leaching of the radioisotope from the surface of the coated device and a uniform radioactive coating, and are therefore suitable for use within biological systems. The method involves coating a metallic device using electroplating a radioisotope. With this method, the coating procedures are followed by baking the coated substrate at a temperature below the recrystallization temperature of the substrate. Substrates coated using the methods of this invention exhibit very low rates of leaching of the coated radioisotope, and are suitable for use within medical applications, for example as stents, catheters, seeds, protheses, vavles, staples and other wound closure devices, where a localized therapeutic treatment is desired.
