Abstract: A decoration correction method for a form-and-seal unit (1) for producing sealed packages of a pourable food product from a tube (2) of packaging material fed along a feed path, and having two pairs of jaws (7) movable along the feed path and opened and closed so as to travel, cyclically and alternately with each other, along a form-and-seal portion along which the pairs of jaws (7) are closed and travel integrally with the tube, and along a repositioning portion along which the pairs of jaws open and move with respect to the tube (2). To make a decoration correction, a nominal trajectory (P) of the jaws (7) is modified along the repositioning portion on the basis of a position error of the tube (2) with respect to a nominal position. A first solution provides for correcting the travel of the jaws by selectively modifying the amplitude of the trajectory; and a second solution provides for correcting the phase of the jaw trajectory. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides an electrostatic motor (20) wherein the poles (26) of the stator (22) have a substantial geometry in the shape of fixed "comb-poles" adapted to be crossed by moving "comb-poles" (28) of the rotor (24). The fixed comb-poles (26) are equally spaced apart, radially and inwardly extending from an electrically insulating hollowed outer cylinder (30) forming the stator (22). while the moving comb-poles (28) are equally spaced apart, radially and outwardly extending from an electrically insulating inner cylinder (32) forming the rotor (24) and located inside the stator (22). Having all those combs (26, 28) essentially facing each other allows for taking full advantage (100 % in theory) of the electric force vector created between adjacent comb-poles (26) of the stator (22) onto the free moving rotor comb-poles (28) when they are electrically charged. The rotor comb-poles (28) become charged by passing through a stator comb-pole (26) there by eliminating any known collector devices. This geometry allows for making AC or DC motors using the electrostatic power with a theoretical efficiency of nearly 100 %.

Abstract: The invention provides a handle (38) for hand and garden tools which causes a preferred coupling position of an assigned group of hands when the respective tool is used. The handle (38) contains a first section for contacting the palm and a second section that is intended for being encompassed by the fingers. The first section contains a distal part (50) that is intended for being encompassed by the thumb bridge, a proximal part (54) that is intended for contacting the ball of the hand root and a center part (52) that lies between the two aforementioned parts and has a pronounced radially outward directed curvature that extends over at least part of its circumference and is intended for snugly adjoining the inner surface of the hand. The distance of this curvature from the longitudinal axis (39) is at its greatest in a maximum (59) that lies in a central region of the curvature and distinctly decreases from this location to the distal and the proximal part (50, 54). According to the invention, a length (L0.1) of the center part (52) amounts to 45-55% of the hand width of the assigned group of hands and has a curvature-if viewed in a longitudinal section that contains the longitudinal axis (39)-with a curvature radius (R2.1) of 50-120 mm in the maximum (59). The invention also provides handle sets, hand or garden tools and hand or garden tool sets containing handles of this type (FIG. 5).

Abstract: The present invention refers generally to a new family of antenna arrays that are able to operate simultaneously at two different frequency bands, while featuring dual-polarization at both bands. The design is suitable for applications where the two bands are centered at two frequencies f 1 and f 2 such that the ratio between the larger frequency (f 2 ) to the smaller frequency (f 1 ) is f 2 /f 1 <1.5. The dual-band dual-polarization feature is achieved mainly by means of the physical position of the antenna elements within the array. Also, some particular antenna elements are newly disclosed to enhance the antenna performance.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de mise en forme d'impulsion optique d'entrée (500) en impulsion optique de sortie à puissance optique sensiblement constante (100, figure 1). Le dispositif comprend un modulateur agissant sur l'impulsion d'entrée (500) sous l'action d'un signal de commande, et un système d'échantillonnage qui prend un échantillon de l'impulsion d'entrée aux fins de traitement ultérieur. Dans une configuration à rétroaction, le modulateur est également soumis à un signal d'erreur, puis l'impulsion d'entrée est échantillonnée, l'échantillon est ensuite traité, et le signal d'erreur est établi à partir de l'échantillon traité. En configuration sans rétroaction, l'impulsion d'entrée est d'abord échantillonnée, l'échantillon est traité et le modulateur agit sous le contrôle d'un signal d'erreur résultant des étapes de traitement. En guise de variante, une impulsion de sortie à puissance optique sensiblement constante peut être établie par le passage de l'impulsion d'entrée dans un limiteur qui sature à un niveau de puissance prédéterminé.

Abstract: A node (20) of a communications network extracts a reference signal from a transport network for use as a reference signal for the node. The node comprises a frequency locked loop (22) which filters the reference signal to the node, as well as a calibration system (24) which determines a tuning sensitivity factor (a) for the frequency locked loop. The calibration system performs a calibration procedure which includes the calibration steps of (1) obtaining a first error measurement (f1) when a first tuning data value is applied to the frequency locked loop; (2) obtaining a second error measurement (f2) when a second tuning data value is applied to the frequency locked loop; and, (3) using the first tuning data value, the second tuning data value, the first error measurement, and the second error measurement to determine the tuning sensitivity factor for the frequency locked loop. Determining the tuning sensitivity factor for the frequency locked loop involves determining a tuning slope by dividing a difference of the first error measurement and the second error measurement by a difference of the first tuning data value and the second tuning data value.

Abstract: A proxy switch, communication methods, and communication logic for use in a mobile network are described. A proxy switch is deployed between a base station subsystem and a mobile station center. It receives signaling messages and either retransmits them, blocks them, converts them, or siphons them to an alternative network. Besides providing an ability to offload offload mobile traffic it provides a platform for new communication services. A proxy switch includes signaling message handling logic for receiving signaling messages from the MSC and BS in accordance with said mobile signaling protocol. Message transmission logic issues messages to the MSC and BS. A FSN and a BSN are provided for communication with the MSC, and another FSN/BSN pair are provided for communication with the BS. Logic detects whether a received message is a change over order message (COO) from one of the MSC and BS, indicating a break in a first signaling link between the proxy switch and the one of the MSC and BS, and logic generates and sends a COA message to the one of the MSC and BS containing the BSN maintained by the switch for communication with the one of the MSC and BS. Fault emulation logic forces a break in a second signaling link between the proxy switch and the other of the MSC and BS, wherein the second signaling link is configured to correspond to the first signaling link, and generates and sends a new COO message to the other of the MSC and BS.
