Abstract: Bed (20) having transverse sections (27-32) reclinable between a horizontal bed position and a sinuous sitting position. A part of the transverse sections of the bed (20) is articulated to regulating means (34) which slide longitudinally in the frame (21) of the bed (20) against the action of elastic return means (35). Retaining means (50, 55, 56, 58) lock said regulating means (34) in positions corresponding to various inclinations of the transverse sections of the bed (20). 
     On manually deactivating the retaining means (50, 55, 56, 58), the regulating means (34) and the transverse sections connected thereto can be moved semiautomatically into any position by the resultant of the force system consisting of the elastic return means (35) and the load which the user may variably distribute over the transverse sections connected to said regulating means (34).

Abstract: A memory leak detection method and apparatus is disclosed which is accurate and reliable. The invention utilizes expiration events and dependent pointers to indicate when the corresponding memory allocation should be de-allocated. Expiration events are occurrences that indicate corresponding memory allocations should be de-allocated prior to the occurrence of the event. Dependent pointers are pointers to currently allocated blocks of computer memory. These dependent pointers indicate that the corresponding computer memory allocation should be de-allocated prior to the de-allocation of the computer memory allocation referred to by the dependent pointer. Using memory management functions, the expiration events and dependent pointers are stored in a memory allocation table along with filenames and line numbers indicating where the request was made. At given points in the program, the memory allocation table is checked for memory leaks. Specifically, the memory allocation table is checked for currently allocated blocks of computer memory which have an expired expiration event that has occurred or a dependent pointe which points to a de-allocated memory allocation.

Abstract: With the intention of simplifying the splicing of optical fibres and still obtain a very high degree of accuracy in the positional setting of the fibre ends prior to splicing the ends together fully automatically, the relative positions of the fibre ends are determined with the aid of laser light diffraction. By illuminating the fibre ends (1, 2) with laser light (3) and studying the image of the diffraction pattern on a display screen (6), which pattern can be related directly to the perpendicular distance between the fibre ends and the relative offset between the geometric axes of said ends, it is possible to determine the distance between the fibre ends by direct image analysis. A suitable splicing distance between The gap between the fibre ends can then be adjusted automatically to a value suitable for splicing, with regard to fibre material and fibre dimensions.

Abstract: Pressure sensitive adhesives that cure to a high cohesive strength at room and elevated temperatures, and a method for making such adhesives, are provided. The adhesives comprise an acrylic copolymer compounded with a pigment and a hydrogen-abstracting photoinitiator. A tackifier and/or multifunctional acrylate or methacrylate can also be added. The acrylic copolymer is prepared from a substantially acid-free monomer mixture of at least one alkyl acrylate and a tertiary amine-containing monomer, such as DMAPMA. Other monomers, including polar vinylic monomers and diesters of ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acids are, preferably, also included. Despite the presence of titanium dioxide or other pigments, the compounded copolymers are UV-cured to a high cohesive strength through the combination of tertiary amine functional groups and hydrogen-abstracting photoinitiators, which form synergistic pairs when irradiated, leading to free radical formation and polymer cross-linking. Unpigmented adhesives are also provided.

Abstract: Thermoelectric modules are assembled to heat conductive plates which may be finned for the treatment of gas flow or bored to enable liquid flow. The assemblies may be used to heat and cool media or spaces by means of various control systems. Passage of a suitable electric current through the modules (36) creates a reduction in temperature on one side and a corresponding increase on the other. The modules are assembled to finned aluminium plates (34,35) with covers (30,31) through which air may be passed for air conditioning purposes. One air stream will be heated and the other cooled. Controlled switching and air flow control shutters may be used to maintain the temperature within a room or equipment enclosure. Thick plates with suitable holes bored through them may replace one or both finned plates for the control of liquid media.

Abstract: The present invention relates to various methods of encrypting an information flow (speech or data) which is to be transmitted in  a mobile radio system. The mobile radio system transfers information in accordance with the time division multiple access concept (TDMA) between a network (MSC, BSS) and a specific mobile station (MS) from among a plurality of mobile stations. The proposed encryption methods are used when information (B1, B2) of a given user shall be transferred in two or more time slots (TS1, TS2) within a single frame. In accordance with the inventive encryption methods, the various parameters (Kc, FN, PS) used in the encryption process are modified in dependence on the ordinal number of each of the used time slots in a frame. For instance, the encryption key (Kc) and the frame number (FN) are modified in dependence on the ordinal number (TSn) of the relevant time slot and the known encryption algorithm (A5) is used to obtain a modified encryption sequence (PSm'). This obviates the need to make substantial changes to the system signalling protocols and hardware.
