Abstract: The invention relates to stowage pieces (26, 28) which serve to prevent the horizontal displacements of containers placed on board ships. When stowing 20-foot containers (20) in a stack or in a cell for 40-foot containers, two 20-foot containers (20) are successively coupled, in a longitudinal direction, to one another at their corner fittings (21, 22) that are oriented toward one another in order to form a 40-foot container unit. To this end, particular double stowage pieces (26) are used. These stowage pieces (26, 28) must be placed on upper corner fittings (21) of the container already stowed on board the ship before the next containers are stowed. This requires the use of auxiliary staff on the containers already stowed on board the ship which no longer adheres to present safety regulations. The invention provides that the stowage pieces (26, 28) are already locked, while on land, under lower corner fittings (22) of the 20-foot containers (20), and the containers, especially two interconnected 20-foot containers (20), are subsequently placed on the containers already located on board the ship, whereby the lower stowage cones (31, 35) of the stowage pieces (26, 28) are loosely inserted into the upper corner fittings (21) of containers located underneath without the stowage cones (31, 35) of the stowage pieces (26, 28) locking, in a vertical direction, with the corner fittings (21) of the containers located underneath. As a result, it is no longer necessary to use auxiliary staff on board the ships when stowing the containers, whereby adhering to safety regulations.

Abstract: A system and method for enabling real-time off-site video image storage is disclosed. An off-site storage site is coupled to camera servers at client sites via a private network. Each camera server is further coupled to one or more surveillance cameras. Video images captured by cameras located at the client sites are forwarded to an off-site server via a camera server. Video images received by the off-site server are produced for live viewing and/or archived in an image database. Users can retrieve live or archived video images through a client workstation that communicates with the off-site server over the public Internet. Retrieval of video images is based on a web-browser interface. Live viewing of video images is supplemented by real-time camera control functions that alter the pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) position of the camera producing the live images. Commands for controlling the PTZ camera are encoded by the client workstation and transmitted to the off-site server. The off-site server converts the camera control codes into control strings that are recognizable by the particular camera.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for producing a saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer in which visible imperfections (particularly fish eyes) of the saponified copolymer is inhibited. In this invention, a mixture solution is prepared by adding water to a methanol solution after saponifying an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and insoluble materials are removed from this mixture solution. Various types of filter or centrifugal separator are used to remove insoluble materials. It is preferable that the weight ratio of methanol to water is from 5 : 5 to 9 : 1, the concentration of the saponified copolymer is from 30 to 60 wt %, and the temperature is from 55 to 80  DEG C. This method is particularly suitable for producing a saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having an ethylene content of 20 to 70 mol % and a saponification degree of at least 95 mol %.

Abstract: A pressurized-fluid-operated actuator has two piston surfaces for providing increased output force. The actuator includes a hollow piston that is divided into two inner chambers by a stationary inner dividing wall that is rigidly connected with a cylinder end wall. The piston has an outer diameter that is smaller than the inner diameter of the cylinder, and the piston carries three axially spaced sealing rings that define two axially-spaced annular chambers between the piston and the cylinder. Each of the annular chambers is in fluid communication with a respective port provided in the cylinder wall. Introduction of pressurized fluid into one port causes the fluid pressure to act on a single piston surface to retract the piston and rod, and introduction of pressurized fluid into the other port causes the fluid pressure to act on two axially-spaced piston surfaces to provide an increased output force without increasing the diameter of the cylinder and piston and without increasing the pressure of the fluid.
