Abstract: An improved perching machine, in particular for softening and stretching
industrial hides or the like, comprises at least one first section (5) and at least
one second section (5') operationally coupled and located downstream of the
first section; each section (5; 5') is formed by at least one pair of mutually
facing conveyor belts (6, 7; 6', 7') for retaining and conveying the hides (P)
and by at least one pair of plates (10, 12; 11, 13; 10', 12'; 11', 13')
substantially parallel to the belts (6, 7; 6', 7') and acting on opposite sides
thereof for softening and stretching the hides. The pair of conveyor belts (6',
7') of the downstream section has a feed speed (V') greater than that (V) of
the pair of belts (6, 7) of the upstream section (5). Each section (5; 5')
comprises independent motors (20, 20') operating a respective pair of
conveyor belts (6, 7; 6', 7') so as to impart varied speeds (V', V) thereto.
The ratio (V'/V) between the feed speed of the pair of belts of the
downstream section and the speed of the pair of conveyor belts of the
upstream section is between 1 and 4 and preferably equal to about 1.2. The
advantage of exerting a greater stretching force on the hides in the
longitudinal direction when passing from one section to the next one is
obtained.

Abstract: A method and computer system are described for conducting commercial transactions by the exchange of electronic documents. The computer system includes a transaction services network, which comprises a plurality of transaction servers for providing services to support commercial transactions. Trading partners operate servers which communicate with the transaction services network via the Internet. The electronic documents are exchanged between trading partners engaged in a transaction. The documents are written in a markup language such as XML. The tags used in the document instances are defined in schemas. Each schema defines a document type, which corresponds to a type of transaction. An enhanced type of XML schema may be used which supports integrity constraints and polymorphism. Schemas are identified by the use of Uniform Resource Names. XML processors residing on transaction servers or trading partner servers parse document instances by retrieving the URNs corresponding to the schemas used to interpret the document. The URNs are converted to location-specific URIs in order to locate the schemas. URNs are resolved to location-specific URIs by use of the LDAP protocol. URNs may be converted to LDAP URLs which are used to search LDAP compliant directories. The directories serve as registries for the location-specific URI values corresponding to the URNs.

Abstract: A method and system for electonic entry of information uses an electronic reading device that includes an optical detector for detecting a portion of an address pattern on a specially formatted surface that is adjacent to the electonic reading device. The address pattern is designed such that an exact position of the electronic reading device with respect to the specially formatted surface can be determined by detecting only a small portion of the overall address pattern. The electronic reading device can include a sensor for detecting contact between a tip of the electronic reading device and the specially formatted surface. In addition, a processor in the electonic reading device receives the detected positional data at least when the sensor detects contact between the tip of the electonic reading device and the specially formatted surface. In addition or as an alternative, the electronic reading device can include a writing means that can be selectively activated and deactivated, wherein positions are detected regardless of whether the writing means is in an activated or deactivated mode.
