Abstract: The pneumatic pulsator (10; 10A) for milking plants comprises a
pneumatic operating device for moving a slide valve (64) with
reciprocating rectilinear movement to cyclically connect a vacuum source
to the pulsation chambers of a milking unit. The slide valve (64) slides
along a plate (62) of anti-wear synthetic material which is not affected by
environmental climatic variations and presents ports communicating with
the vacuum source and with the pulsation chambers. The plate (62) is
sealedly pressed against a base (34) in which conduits are provided. 
From the base (34) there project two mutually facing side walls (36.1,
36.2) forming part of the body (12), as does the base (34). The body (12)
of the pulsator (10) has a rigid frame structure, of which the base (34)
forms a first side, a second and a third side being formed by the side walls
(36.1, 36.2), and a fourth side being formed by a rigid crosspiece (38).
There is also provided a rigid U-piece (52) which straddles the slide valve
(64) and is provided with two feet (56) which rest on the plate (62). The
U-piece (52) is pressed against the plate (62) via a spherical hinge (54,
58) lying on an axis perpendicular to the plate (62) and centered with
respect to the feet (56) of the U-piece (52). The body (12) and the U-piece
(52) are constructed of a synthetic material which is not affected by
environmental climatic variations.

Abstract: The present invention provides an abradable coating
which is applied to the surfaces of stationary parts in
rotary machinery such as gas turbines and does not cause
damage or other trouble to the blades, as well as a method
for forming the same. This method for forming an abradable
coating comprises the steps of coating a shroud material
with a partially stabilized zirconia ceramic material to
form a zirconia ceramic layer having a cubic or tetragonal
crystal structure on the surface of the shroud material; and
subjecting the shroud material having the zirconia ceramic
layer formed thereon to high-temperature water treatment at
a temperature of 100 to 450°C for 1 to 300 hours and thereby
transforming the crystal structure of the zirconia ceramic
layer into a monoclinic crystal structure. Alternatively,
shot peening may be employed in place of the high-temperature
water treatment.

Abstract: One embodiment of the disclosures made herein is a method for facilitating
prescribed application functionality via a network element (24) adapted for providing Digital
Subscriber Line Access Multiplexing (DSLAM) functionality. In accordance with such
a method, a first functionality server (30) implements server-specific functionality whereby
information associated with the server-specific functionality is generated. In response to
implementing the server-specific functionality, information in a universal interface
format is transmitted for reception by a first access server (28) from a first functionality
server (30). The first access server (28) is connected between the network element (24) and the first
functionality server (30). After receiving the information, the information is translated from
the universal interface format to a system-compatible interface format. The translating
is performed by the first access server (28) and the system-specific interface format is
different than the universal interface format. After translating the information to the
system-specific format, the information is transmitted from the first access server (28)
toward the system interface (26). The first access server (28) is connected between the network
element (24) adapted and the first functionality server (30). The functionality server (30) is adapted
for initiating provisioning of a connection between the network element (24) and a
subscriber data processing system (16) prior to transmitting the information toward the
system interface (26).
