Abstract: The present invention relates to data storage apparatus comprising a removable data storage medium, first control means for initially "powering on" the apparatus and for enabling the apparatus to receive a data storage medium, mode setting means for setting the apparatus into an "operate" mode state or a "non-operate" mode state, means for receiving commands to perform operations in connection with the data storage medium, and second control means for controlling the operation of the apparatus on receipt of the commands. 
     According to the invention the apparatus is characterised in that the mode setting means sets the apparatus into a "non-operate" mode state on operation of the first control means to "power on" the apparatus or to enable the apparatus to receive a storage medium, and the second control means, on receipt of a command, checks the mode state (132) and performs operations as follows : (a) if the mode state is "non-operate", (i) checks to see if the received command is a "Mode Set" command (140), (ii) if the received command is not a "Mode Set" command, rejects said command (141), and (iii) if the received command is a "Mode Set" command, sets the mode state to "operate", and (b) if the mode state is "operate" causes performance of the received command (142).

Abstract: A film adaptor, to be used in combination with a still video camera, for recording an image from a conventional photographic film by the still video camera. The film adaptor has a recording button and an erasing button. By depressing the recording button, the image on the film is recorded by the still video camera and is reproduced immediately thereafter, for confirmation of the recorded image. If it is considered unnecessary, the erasing button is depressed while the recording button remains depressed, whereupon the recorded image is erased. The film image recording operation is therefore conducted in simple manner.

Abstract: For optimising the wear between the brakes of commercial vehicles a valve device is provided, by means of which the pressure ratio between the brakes to be operated can be adjusted as a function of the wear. The valve device contains an electrically triggered pressure retaining valve (1) with at least one inlet and at least one outlet, the outlet pressure of the pressure retaining valve, under the influence of a proportional magnet (3), being equal to or less than the inlet pressure. The pressure differential between inlet and outlet pressure can be steplessly controlled from 0 up to a maximum pressure differential  DELTA p by way of the current applied to the proportional magnet (3). The electropneumatic pressure retaining valve (1) can be used for various applications, especially for optimising the wear on the brake units between front and rear axle in commercial vehicles, the electrical control (current) preferably occurring as a function of the wear, which can be detected by means of wear sensors and is analysed in a control unit for the proportional magnet. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is a system that accepts data, either from a facsimile scanner (132) or from a computer file (122), and allows the data to be printed before being sent to a remote facsimile device. The system reads the data (204, 206, 208), converts the data to a bit mapped raster image if necessary (210), and prints the data (228) locally before it is sent to the remote facsimile receiving device. The local print resolution for printing the data is selectable, and the system will convert the data (224) into a form suitable for printing that resolution on the local printer . If the local printer (126) can print at a higher resolution, the data is scaled to allow the printing to appear at the desired facsimile resolution to allow the user to evaluate the quality of the data prior to the data being sent.

Abstract: The tape-delivering device has two separate tape stores, i.e. a forward tape store (10.1) and a reverse tape store (10.2). The two stores take the form of chambers which can accommodate a specific quantity of tape material in a controllable fashion. The stores are filled and emptied by the co-ordinated interaction of a buffer separator (3) and delivery rollers (17.1, 17.2). The buffer separator (3) blocks the passage of the tape upstream of the feed/outlet apertures of the two tape stores (20.1, 20.2), therefore causing the tape to bulge into the storage spaces. Filling of at least the forward tape store is preferably supported by a delivery device (11). The required delivery of tape material can be precisely determined during prestorage by means of sensors. …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: The gear (1) to be finished is rotated in mesh with the honing tool (3) which is in the form of an internal gear with abrasive teeth which remove metal from the workpiece gear during rotation. The spindle drives of the workpiece gear and the honing tool are electronically coupled. Before machining takes place, the honing tool is rotated in mesh with the workpiece gear, which is allowed to rotate freely under no load. The deviations from true angular displacement of the workpiece gear are registered by the control system. The electronic coupling is then engaged and during machining uses the stored information on the gear errors to modify the relative speeds in a way that varies the metal removal rate and corrects the overall pitch error of the gear.

Abstract: Texture mapping or video mapping is performed in such a way as to obtain perspectively correct images, while at the same time not requiring excessive computational overheads. 
     Non-linear functions required to achieve perspectively correct images are stored in the form of look-up tables. Depth extents at the extremes of a locus of interpolation are compared and from this comparison a particular look-up table, or a pair of look-up tables, are selected. When are pair of look-up tables are selected, it is possible to linearly interpolate between the two, in order to obtain a closer approximation to the desired non-linear response.

Abstract: A system for allowing a user to disable an apnea alarm in an anaesthesia system when the anaesthesia ventilator is in the mechanical ventilation mode. The system takes advantage of the redundancy of both a CO2 monitor and a volume monitor triggering the apnea alarm based upon a predetermined fault condition. The inventive system allows the user to disable the apnea alarm based upon a signal from the volume monitor to alleviate the problem of spurious alarm signals from the volume monitor. The attempt to disable the volume monitor fault signal to the apnea alarm is prevented, however, without a system check by a CPU to insure that the CO2 monitor is, in fact, fully operational and capable of sending its fault signal to the apnea alarm to trigger that alarm. The system continuously checks the CO2 monitor and immediately restores the viability of the volume monitor as a trigger for the apnea alarm at any time the CO2 monitor becomes disabled and is unable to trigger the apnea alarm itself. Thus the volume monitor based apnea alarm may be disabled by the user without compromising the alarm function of the overall anaesthesia system.

Abstract: In an automatic lock slider (1) for a slide fastener, a yoke (50) accommodating a locking pawl (30) and a leaf spring (40) has a pair of inwardly directed projections (54), and a generally C-shaped, narrow rigid strip (30) has on its upper edges a pair of taper surfaces (34) corresponding to the respective projections (54). As the taper surfaces (34) are guided by the projections (54), the pawl (30) keeps its suitable posture during the assembling of the slider (1), and the pawl (30) acts reliably while the automatic locking mechanism is either operative or inoperative. The locking pawl (30) is small in width and has one leg portion (52) to be inserted in a groove (13b) of the outer surface of a connector (13) of a slider body (10). The result is that the number of pressing steps is reduced to minimize press traces on the surface of an upper wing of the slider body (10) so that press traces are prevented from coming out on the slider surface though the yoke (50) is smaller in width compared to the conventional one.
