Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustable fastening device e.g. for an axially-shaped, tubular, flat or spherical tool or working piece or machine part or a like of a desired shape. The device includes: a body section (1), a clamping means (2), mounted within the body section (1) and at least partly pressable/squeezable indirectly or directly against a piece (10) to be fastened. Between the body section (1) and the clamping is provided a space (3), which is pregreased for a medium effecting said pressing/squeezing. The medium comprises in situ cast elastomer (5) whereby, upon the application of pressure on elastomer by means of a screw, a piston or the like, said elastomer (5) delivers by way of its displacement and/or deformation said pressure to clamping means (2) which thus presses/squeezes against a piece (10) to be fastened and, upon releasing said pressure, the elastomer (5) returns to its initial state.

Abstract: A device for reprocessing, that is to say for disintegrating, used packaging materials, for example unsorted household paper, is described. The device essentially consists of a first comminution unit (14), a downstream trough-like housing (2) with an agitator (4, 6) rotating therein and a further comminution unit (18) located in the material outlet shaft (16). The device is also provided at its lower end with a heavy dirt collection chamber (26). The comminution units (14 and 18) are exchangeable and, depending on the processing requirements, it is possible to choose between purely cutting tools, more chopping or even disintegrating tools. The first comminution unit (14) serves for comminuting raw material with in part large surface area to give a conveyable size of pieces, while the second comminution unit (18) essentially serves for fine comminution and disintegration of the material. In the interposed trough, purification of the material can take place, it being possible to operate with washing fluid circulation via the connections (38, 34, 36 and 28). In this case, low-density stock operation is envisaged. The device can, however, also be operated in the high-density stock range, where disintegration can already start in the trough (2). The stock leaving the device has been pretreated in such a way that it can be separated by means of screen-sorting devices into its components which are to be treated further.

Abstract: A maximum likelihood detector using the Viterbi algorithm for estimating a sequence of data bits received over a communication channel. Depending on the constraint length (C), a plurality of different states is associated with the transmitted bits (e.g. 16 if C=4). The detector comprises various data sources (13, 14, 17, 23, 24, 28) relating respectively to state transition probabilities (branch metrics, previous partial path metrics) and observed values of the received bits. Means are provided for calculating the partial path metrics for each state using values from said data sources. The calculating means comprise a common adder/accumulator (1) for performing repeated additive arithmetic operations and for storing the cumulative result thereof. Multiplexing means (10-15) are also provided for selectively coupling the data sources in a predetermined order to the adder/accumulator to implement the partial path metric calculation. The architecture is compatible with VLSI techniques and enables the detector to be implemented using minimal semiconductor area. The detector may be used independently as an equaliser or a decoder but in a preferred embodiment both these functions re-use the same common hardware in series enabling both the equaliser and decoder to be implemented in a single integrated circuit (i.e. on one 'chip'). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for longitudinally pleating a moving lamina. The apparatus features a curved axis roll having a stationary axis circumscribed by a rotating sleeve with a plurality of circumferentially oriented grooves in the rotating sleeve. The pleats are produced by the intermeshing of the lamina with the grooves of the rotating sleeve. Preferably a complementary curved axis roll having lands which interdigitate with the grooves of the first roll is used in conjunction with the first curved axis roll. The apparatus preferably further comprises a third curved axis roll disposed upstream of the first curved axis roll to substantially equalize the paths of travel of any points on the moving lamina by compensating for differences in the paths of travel between the edges and centerline of the lamina. The apparatus may further comprise two straight axis rolls disposed outboard of the curved axis rolls and spatially arranged so that the paths of travel of either edge of the lamina and the centerline of the lamina through the apparatus and from the first straight axis roll to the second straight axis roll are substantially equal.

Date Feb. 6, 1992.A system and method of speed estimation for a cellular radio network includes a number of speed estimation units. Each unit comprises an averaging window of a different duration, a buffer store and variance calculator. The duration of each window is equivalent to the time taken by a mobile unit to traverse a distance of 20 wavelengths of the received signal at a particular speed. An incoming signal is applied to the units. The duration of the window determines the significance of the fast fade components in the signal which is related to mobile unit speed. When the average of a window is substantially constant, the speed corresponding to that window can be assumed to be achieved or exceeded. Decision logic is arranged to poll the outputs of the variance calculators to derive a speed estimation indication.

Abstract: In order to fasten structural parts on a porous underlying surface such as, for example, gas concrete, a nail for gas concrete is formed from a half-round metal rod which is grooved transversely to the longitudinal axis. The points, projecting away from each other, of the nail are pushed through the splitting disc (7) and the nail is driven into the material. The transverse bar (6) of the splitting disc acts on the two shank halves of the nail with a lateral force which spreads out the nail in the form of a claw, independently of the effect of the underlying surface. In addition, the transverse grooves of the nail improve the load-bearing capacity of the connection in the gas concrete. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A prior art method of cutting optical fibres (2) calls for the fibre (2) to be held firmly to prevent it from yielding, placed under tension and a scratch made on its surface. The microdiscontinuity thus produced propagates diametrically across the fibre to form a parting plane. There is a danger, however, that undesirable cracks or discontinuities spread out in the longitudinal direction in the fibre (2). The invention calls for the parting plane to be produced by a particle beam (21) aimed at the fibre (2).
