Abstract: In a telecommunications system, in which a connection comprises a part with an interworking function at both ends, a channel is allocated to the connection between the interworking functions. The required channel capabilities may vary during the connection, whereby the channel capabilites should be changed. When the first interworking function detects that a channel capability must be changed, a first message, which indicates the desired capability change, is transmitted (2-1) to the second interworking function; and the channel capability is changed (2-3, 2-5) into the desired one at both ends of the part. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A preimpregnated sheet material (250) impregnated with
thermosetting resin is spooled around a bobbin, and two bobbins (200)
positioned one above the other constituting one unit is provided
to feed the materials sequentially to a crease forming device
(310), an open-trapezoid-shape forming device (330) and a U-shape
forming device (340) where the materials are bent. The
preimpregnated sheet member bent to form a U-shape is vertically
mounted on another U-shaped member to form the shape of an H,
and to the surfaces of said H-shaped member are provided release
films (260) before the member is transferred to a hot press device
(400). Said sheet material heated and pressed by the hot press
device (400) is then heated for a predetermined time at an
after-cure device, where thermosetting of the material is
completed. The produced H-shaped member is then
intermittently pulled out by a haulage device and cut into
predetermined lengths.

Abstract: A liquid discharge head unit is positioned in high
precision when mounted on the carriage of a liquid
discharge recording apparatus. For the liquid
discharge head unit, a side extrusion formed in column,
which is rotatively supported in carriage, presses the
upper surface of guide ribs formed on both side ends on
the upper rear portion. This upper surface is made
higher toward the rear side in order to effectuate the
substantially horizontal movement of the pressurized
position from the front side to the rear side. Then,
the liquid discharge head unit is rotated around the
side extrusion formed in column so as to be mounted on
the carriage smoothly. Lastly, a guide pin, a rear
extrusion, and a lower extrusion are allowed to abut
against the corresponding portions of the carriage by
means of pressure exerted on a receiving rib in order
to perform positioning in the front, rear, left, right,
up and down directions exactly. Also, by means of
pressure exerted on the side face, the side extrusion
is allowed to abut against the corresponding portion of
the carriage to position the circumference of the guide
pin in the rotational direction.

Abstract: In an obstacle device, a front end range imaging sensor is used to scan the viewing field relative to the aircraft, while a navigation system provides information concerning the postion and altitude of the aircraft. A data processor uses these data to generate 3-d scene vectors, such that every range image is converted into a measurement point set, from which the presence of cables or wires is detected using a wire detection procedure based on the Hough Transform. For this purpose, an HT acceleration board is provided, which needs not perform complex floating point operations. The processed results are then input to an evaluation module, which determines whether any detected wires are proximate to the position of the aircraft.

Abstract: A photosensitive material containing a photosensitive
silver halide and an organic silver salt and capable of forming
an image, which corresponds to a latent image recorded on the
photosensitive material through exposure, when the
photosensitive material is heated, is utilized for forming an
image. The photosensitive material, on which the latent image
has been recorded, is heated, and the image corresponding to the
latent image is formed with the heating on the photosensitive
material. The image is read out from the heat-developed
photosensitive material, and an image signal having thus been
obtained is subjected to image processing for forming a digital
image signal, from which the image is capable of being reproduced.

Abstract: A document printer includes an authenticity verifier for examining an
electronic document to verify predetermined authentication information in the electronic
document. The authentication information may be an electronic signature, or
a digital watermark. The authenticity verifier may be included in the printer controller,
and examines the authentication information of the document to verify that the
document is unchanged from when it was transmitted by the source computer, and
for authenticating the source of the document. If the authenticity verifier confirms the
authentication information, the printer automatically performs one print function, such
as printing the document with an authentication mark. If the authenticity verifier
does not confirm the authentication information, the printer automatically performs a
different print function, such as not printing the document, or printing the document
with an authenticity warning.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (1) for use in a cleaning installation for removing soot or similar inside deposits in a flow channel (9) in a processing system such as a boiler, heat exchanger, flue gas filter or the like, by intermittently blasting a fluid or gaseous medium into the processing system, said device (1) comprising a flow passage (5) between the associated valve (1) means and the flow channel (9), wherein the flow passage (5) is provided with an inlet (8) allowing for a continuous flow of protective gas around the flow passage (5) into the flow channel (9) in the processing system. By the present invention, corrosion is reduced since a cushion of air is generated at the end (15) of the flow passage during off-cycles of the cleaning operation as air is constantly drawn or forced in through the inlet (8). This means that the components are covered by this cushion and protected against corrosive gasses in the heat exchanger or the like. Hereby, the valve means (1) are protected from corrosion and tests have shown that durability of the exposed components facing the inside of the boiler or the like has been significantly improved. <IMAGE>
