Patent EP-0904685-A3 (EP)
Title: Garn und Bindevorrichtung
Inventor: BOUCHER JEAN FRANCOIS
IPC: D07B1/02
Filed: 1998-09-15
Abstract: Herkömmmlich wird Garn mehrfach z. B. um einen Rundballen
gewunden, bis es aufgrund seiner Haftreibung das Preßerzeugnis
zusammenhält. Allerdings werden die Garnenden
nicht befestigt und werden somit bei der Handhabung des
Preßerzeugnisses lose. Soweit vorgeschlagen worden ist,
die Garnenden in dem Preßerzeugnis zu verankern oder
mittels eines Klebebandes zu sichern, ist ein
beträchtlicher technischer Aufwand hierfür nötig. 
     Es wird ein Garn mit einem Klebstoff vorgeschlagen, der
spätestens beim Auflegen des Garns auf das Preßerzeugnis
wirksam wird und dieses soweit hält, daß es sich nicht von
dem Preßerzeugnis löst. Der Klebstoff kann sowohl bereits
in dem Garn enthalten sein und bereits aktiv sein. Er kann
aber auch vor dem Auflegen auf das Preßerzeugnis aktiviert
oder aufgebracht werden. Alternativ können die einzelnen
Fasern des Garn gekräuselt werden und somit Schlaufen und
Haken bilden, die das Garn am Preßerzeugnis oder benachbartem
Garn festlegen. 
     Garn und Bindevorrichtungen werden bei landwirtschaftlichen
Rundballenpressen verwendet.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing multi-ply tubular
containers for food products is provided including the
steps of applying an aqueous adhesive (21) to a surface of a
paperboard body ply (13) and then heating the aqueous
adhesive (21) to evaporate part of the water content and
render the adhesive substantially tacky. The body ply (13)
and a polymeric liner ply (14) having a moisture barrier
layer are then passed through a nip to adhere the liner
ply to the body ply and are wrapped around a shaping
mandrel (47) to create the tubular container. Accordingly,
an advantageous tubular container can be manufactured
having a body ply formed of paperboard which is wrapped
into a tubular shape to define an inner surface. The
body ply defines a predetermined circumferential length
before being wrapped which corresponds to one
revolution of the body ply when wrapped in a tubular
shape. A polymeric liner ply is adhered to the inner
surface of the body ply and defines a circumferential
length equal to that of the body ply prior to being
wrapped. Accordingly, the liner ply is
circumferentially compressed when the body ply is
wrapped into the tubular shape and advantageously has a
wrinkled surface finish after being wrapped which is
caused by the circumferential compression of the liner
ply.

Abstract: An implantable pacemaker including means to effectuate a capture
verification method that minimises the expenditure of battery current. A
capture verification test is performed only occasionally, on a sampled
basis, following delivery of a stimulation pulse. If capture is not
verified, a loss of capture response mode is invoked that searches for an
appropriate capture threshold, and when found, sets the stimulation
energy at a level that is a prescribed safety factor above the capture
threshold. All testing for capture is performed only after the heart
rhythm has been measured, a short test pacing interval is selected that
will be likely to overdrive the native rhythm, and the test pacing pulse
delivered is delivered at the shortened interval so that the likelihood of
fusion will be minimal.

Abstract: A web tension maintaining roll in a scroll
sign module is arranged with its axis parallel to a
rotatable second roll, both rolls being arranged for
rotation between laterally spaced apart side frame
members. For each roll, a short shaft projects from
opposite side frame members toward each other for
the roll to rotate about the common axis of the
shafts. A motor driven drive shaft whose axis is
transverse to the axes of rotation of the rolls has
a worm fastened to the shaft adjacent each of the
rolls. The worms are drivingly engaged,
respectively, with worm gears that are supported for
rotation about the axis of the short shafts and
about the rotational axis of the rolls. The worm
gear for the tension roll is coupled in driving
relationship to the tension roll by way of a spiral
spring whose inner end is connected to the worm gear
and whose outer end is connected to the tension
roll. The motor driven main drive shaft has a knob
on at least one end or a cable connection that
provides for turning the main drive shaft manually
to provide the option of manual operation or motor
operation of the sign module. The worm and worm
gear roll drive mechanism precludes roll backlash.

cylindrical recess (31) have a fit with a considerable play. This results in that the retainer
(3) can be easily placed at its position by the boss and the cylindrical recess guiding the retainer
to an approximate position and then a more accurate position in the longitudinal
direction is obtained, when the pin (37) or the rib enters the groove. A limited movability
is obtained in the lateral direction, which can be required in the case where the optical
fibers are to be fitted into stationary V-grooves.

IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 1999-06-04
Abstract: A signal sending-and-receiving circuit is used for a long-distance
port in a node having a state machine within a serial-bus network, wherein
a sending section (1-3) performs scrambling, coding and conversion on
signals given from the state machine to produce serial signals which are
sent onto a transmission path, while a receiving section (4-6) performs
conversion, de-scrambling and decoding on signals given from the
transmission path to produce decoded signals. A control signal is created
based on a Data_prefix signal detected from the signals of the state machine,
and an Idle signal or a Grant signal detected from the decoded signals.
The control signal controls a selector (11) to selectively output either the
decoded signals or a pseudo Idle signal which is newly created. Then, a
collision signal is created in response to an output of the selector. Thus, it
is possible to avoid collision between a grant signal and a Self ID packet, so
it is possible to prevent the Self ID packet from being damaged. In
addition, the state machine is designed to have six states, namely, S0 (Self
ID Start), S1 (Self ID Grant), S2 (Self ID Receive), S3 (Send Speed
Capabilities), S4 (Self ID Transmit) and S5 (Self ID Suspend). Herein, the
state machine is placed in the state S5 to suspend the Self ID process until
the node detects Idle at a parent port connected to a parent node after
detecting Idle at a receive port receiving the Self ID packet from another
node.

Inventor: GUMLEY JOHN RICHARD
IPC: H02G13/00
Filed: 1999-07-27
Abstract: Air terminals of two types having curved surface electrodes that act
passively or dynamically to minimize or further reduce corona during the close
approach of the down leader. In the first type, a fully grounded passive terminal,
suitably located and comprising a conductive curved surface of a given radius on
a grounded rod of given height, is located and suitably dimensioned in order to
minimize corona discharges until the median field rises to a level sufficient to
support streamer to leader conversion as described below. In the second type,
dynamic action is achieved by allowing the curved surface to float upwardly in
voltage by use of capacitive coupling to the approaching leader. The raising of
voltage being in the same polarity as the leader, acts to reduce the electric field
immediately above, with consequent reduction in corona. When a flashover
point is reached between the curved surface and the main earthed electrode
there are provided free electrons in avalanche mode, and the curved surface is
simultaneously grounded through the arc. This grounding causes an instant
increase in the electric field immediately above the terminal. Streamer formation
is enhanced by the liberation of free electrons, the photoionization created by the
arc, and the instant increase in the electric field strength ahead of the streamer.
In the dynamic phase during the near approach of a down leader, the electric
field is intensified so as to have a field strength sufficient to cause a corona burst
and ongoing development into a streamer. The air terminal is designed so that a
streamer is only launched when both the near field and the median field strength,
within a few meters above the terminal, are sufficiently strong to convert an
initiating streamer into a propagating leader. The height and curvature of the air
terminal determines the E field intensification factor. Up leader conversion is
assured and the whole process is enhanced by progagation into an electric field
devoid of distortions due to prior corona emissions in the form of space charges.
The invention also includes a method to simulate natural conditions and control
not only the position of the lightning ground attachment, but also the ideal air
terminal parameters to achieve the proper initiation of the streamer and up leader
conversion The system also recognizes that there may be other structural
points competing to be first to launch an up leader and compares all points on
approach of down leaders using a three dimensional computer analysis.
