IPC: B65B13/02
Filed: 1998-07-02
Abstract: A device for strapping two or more packets with
a band, which device substantially comprises a frame, a
lying conveyor belt (2) supported by the frame for moving
forward the packets, a pair of band clamping and guiding
jaws (7) movable toward and away from each other transversely
of the conveyor belt, a supply reel (3) associated with a jaw
and guide members for the strapping band in addition to
welding means co-acting with the jaws for welding
together the band portions supplied by the pair of jaws,
wherein each jaw has a clamping surface which runs
transversely relative to the direction of movement and
which co-acts with a counter-surface of an intermediate
body carried by one of the jaws, wherein the clamping and
counter-surface extends obliquely relative to the
direction of movement, wherein at least one of the
surfaces is provided with tooth-like protrusions set
obliquely relative to the pulling direction, so reducing
the play in the band after completing the welded joint,
whereas the tooth-like protrusions allow a higher
tensioning of the band.

Abstract: A printing device 1 includes print management means.
The print management means interrupts the execution of a print job
under execution and executes preferentially another print job
waiting for printing 1) when the print job waiting for printing rather
than the print job under execution is first executed, the best order
of printing operations is secured or the print mechanism 6 is more
efficiently operated, or 2) the processing of the print job under
execution takes much time because of time consumption by the
intermediate code generation and the like.

Abstract: A catheter-based physiological pressure sensing device, which can be calibrated
 in vivo,  is disposed in the distal end of a catheter, and is preferably in the form of a
bulb-like device. The pressure sensing device includes a pressure sensor tip and
pressure sensor element disposed in the pressure sensor tip. The pressure sensor
element has first and second opposing surfaces which form separate and isolatable first
and second chambers. An aperture is formed in an external wall of the pressure
sensor tip to provide a passageway into the first chamber and expose the first surface
of the pressure sensor element to a physiological pressure. A blocking element, such
as a balloon, is disposed in the first chamber and is adapted for selectively blocking
the aperture. To measure a physiological pressure, the aperture is unblocked to allow
an outside pressure into the first chamber and a reference pressure is presented to the
second chamber so that the surfaces of the pressure sensing element can measure the
differential pressure. To calibrate or zero the device, the blocking element blocks the
aperture to seal the first chamber with respect to external pressure and a fluid at a
known pressure is introduced to the first and second chambers. The pressure sensor
element provides an output signal indicative of a zero offset pressure to a pressure
monitoring circuit to calibrate, or zero, the sensor and enhance the accuracy of
subsequent pressure measurements.

of the apertures of the cassette bottom, top and inner
side walls have a longest dimension no greater than about
0.5 mm. Each of the first apertures and the second
apertures can be any suitable shape such as round, oval,
square or rectangular so long as the longest dimension of
the aperture is less than about 0.5 mm. Another feature

Abstract: By use of a patterning foil, the metal layer is applied to the transparent carrier plate (10) at least in a region incorporating areas to be coated with such a layer. A cover in the form of a color layer (12) is then applied directly to this metal layer. The metal layer (14) is then etched away only in areas not covered by the color layer. Independent claims are also included for a layer sequence thus produced, and a patterning foil used for its production. Preferred Features: The patterning foil consisting of a carrier foil, a separation layer, a patterned metal layer and an adhesive layer is applied to the carrier plate with use of pressure and heat. The metal layer is transferred to the carrier plate substantially without residues of the separation layer. The carrier foil together with the separation layer is removed from the metal layer. Aluminum and/or at least one aluminum alloy is/are used for production of the metal layer, preferably by vapor deposition onto the carrier foil of the patterning foil. The metal layer is selectively etched away by iron trichloride. An additional color layer is applied at least to parts of the carrier plate before the metal layer is applied. Further color layers can be applied to the carrier plate after the etching process. The additional color layer is preferably yellow. The color layers are chosen to produce required tints and translucence. The carrier plate is a clear acryl glass plate.

existence of a perch channel in a particular frequency
to be examined by frequency-converting the signal
having the frequency corresponding to the frequency
specification data within the signal received by the
antenna based on the frequency specification data from
a controlling circuit. A rectifying circuit rectifies
the received signal, and outputs the integrated value
of the signal value after being rectified. The
integrated value is converted into a digital signal
by an A/D converter, and compared with a threshold
value by a comparing circuit. If the digital signal
value is determined to be larger than the threshold
value, a Write signal is output to a storing circuit,
so that the frequency specification data output from
the controlling circuit is stored in the storing
circuit.
