Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an adhesive closing componen t (23) having a plurality of interlocking means (27) that are designed with a carrier (11) and are configured on one of the two sides thereof. An adhesive  means (25) is applied to the opposite side. A silicone-containing separation  layer is at least partially applied on the side of the carrier (11), whereby  said side is provided with the interlocking means (27). The interlocking mea ns (27) are formed from stems (17) that are provided with enlargements (19) on the end side. The silicone-containing separation layer (29) is applied in th e cavities of the enlargements (19) in a reinforcing manner, whereby said enlargements form individual interlocking heads. The stems (17) are essentially kept free from the silicone-containing separation layer (29). An  adhesive closing component with adhesive means is thus improved in such a wa y that said component can be produced cost-effectively and efficiently, whereb y handling is simplified and pulling-off characteristics are improved.

IPC: B65H5/06
Filed: 2000-11-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to a bank note sorting apparatus. Known such apparatuses have the disadvantage of not being user-friendly since the transport path of the bank notes is not readily accessible to a user due to the elaborate mechanical design of the transport system. Bank notes that block the transport system due to faulty transport can therefore not be readily removed. In the present invention this disadvantage is avoided by the bank note sorting apparatus consisting of at least three parts, with one part disposed in the middle and at least two parts removable therefrom, thereby obtaining easy access to the transport system.

Title: Drive system for beard and mustache trimmer
Inventor: WILCOX JOHN
IPC: B26B19/10
Filed: 2002-07-22
Abstract: By providing a beard and mustache trimmer construction wherein a single motor driven element is employed for directly operating both the main cutting blades as well as a pop-up trimmer, an easily employed, efficient, beard and mustache trimmer is realized. The trimmer is constructed in a manner which enables the pop-up trimmer to be directly driven by the same element which drives the principal cutting blades. In this way, greater power is delivered to the pop-up trimmer element than has otherwise been attained with prior art systems as well as providing substantially reduced noise levels. As a result, a substan-tially enhanced cutting and trimming system is realized.

Abstract: A system and method implemented in an interactive television system for scheduling delivery of modules of interactive television applications from a broadcast station to a receiving station. In one embodiment, a list of modules and corresponding start times, end times and durations is provided. Minimum beginning times and maximum beginning times are determined for each of the modules. The modules in the list are prioritized, first according to minimum beginning times and then according to maximum beginning times. A module having the earliest maximum beginning time is selected from those modules for which the minimum beginning time is equal or prior to a current time. A portion of the selected module is scheduled. After a portion of a module is scheduled, the information in the module list is updated, the modules in the list are re-prioritized, and another module is selected for scheduling. This is repeated until all of the modules have been scheduled.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the quality of pulp. Pulp produced by mechanical defibering of wood is screened to provide at least two fractions, of which the accept that has passed the screening phase is carried forward for use and the reject that has not passed the screening is removed from the screening phase (3; 5; 8). An underlying idea of the invention is that the consistency (C2; C3; C5) of the reject that is to be removed from the screening is measured and the consistency value thus obtained is used for controlling the defibrator (1; 7) to adjust the quality of the accept.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne une serrure qui empêche un élément de se déplacer par rapport à un autre élément. Elle est dotée d'un boîtier qui peut être fixé à un élément et d'un ensemble verrou monté dans le boîtier. L'ensemble verrou est doté d'un manchon, d'un verrou qui s'installe en coulissant dans le manchon, et d'un ressort agissant entre le verrou et le manchon pour placer le verrou en position de verrouillage à résilience, selon laquelle une extrémité libre du verrou dépasse de l'une des extrémités du manchon. Le verrou est aussi doté d'une partie à fonctionnement manuel qui dépasse de l'autre extrémité du manchon. En position de verrouillage, la partie libre du verrou dépasse du boîtier pour s'encastrer dans une ouverture de l'autre élément, lorsque le boîtier est fixé à un élément, ce qui empêche le mouvement relatif des éléments. Le verrou a aussi une position de déverrouillage, qui permet de sortir manuellement la partie libre de l'ouverture de l'autre élément en tirant sur la partie à ressort à fonctionnement manuel.

Abstract: An inkjet printer includes a printhead having a plurality of ink orifices formed therein. During printing, ink drops are ejected through the ink orifices into a print zone between the printhead and a print medium with an intended ink drop trajectory toward the print medium. An air movement system directs an air stream to the print zone substantially parallel to the intended ink drop trajectory as the ink drops are ejected during printing so as to affect air currents acting on the ink drops during printing and prevent print defects caused by the air currents. The air stream, however, does not disrupt the intended trajectory of the ink drops during printing.

Abstract: A vehicular power-transmission control system comprises a continuously variable transmission CVT, which transmits the output of an engine E to wheels, a starting clutch 5, which controls the transmission of power in the continuously variable transmission, an electrical motor generator M, which can assist the engine in rotational drive, and a hydraulic pump P, which is connected to the output shaft of the engine. When the vehicle, which has come into a halt with the engine consequently stopped in an idling elimination control, is to be restarted, the power-transmission control system controls the electrical motor generator to rotate the output shaft of the engine, to which fuel supply is not allowed, thereby to drive the pump. Thereafter, when the starting clutch receiving a hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic pump starts its engagement, the power- transmission control system starts the operation of the engine.
