Patent EP-0794042-A3 (EP)
Inventor: COLLINA VINCENZO
IPC: E04C3/294
Filed: 1997-03-04
Abstract: A method for manufacturing a composite girder (11) comprising one or more vertical cores of steel plate, associated and cooperating with one or more horizontal slabs (13,14) or flanges of concrete. At least one of said horizontal slabs (13,14) or flanges is made from high-performance concrete in order to allow mutual forces or co-actions to be imposed between the several components of the girder which are much higher/stronger than the mutual forces/co-actions which can be imposed by means of other methods and materials. If the composite girder is at least partially manufactured at the prefabrication factory, according to the present method, the starting element will be an I girder (12) preflexed or inflexed with welded connecting means (15); the I girder (12) will be positioned on the prefabricating bench imposing such constraints as to straighten the girder, then in a suitable position steel cables (16) are installed prestressed between external anchoring points (17), and the concrete casting is carried out in a flange (13) in which said cables (16) are associated with high-performance concrete. According to the method of the present invention, after setting is complete, the auxiliary constraints are cut and removed. In such a way, the by now set concrete, by being integral with the iron girder (12) thanks to the iron reinforcer elements and welded connecting means (15) and with the cables (16) by adhesion, causes the several components to mechanically cooperate and the composite beam to be endowed with much better characteristics than of the girders known from the prior art.

Abstract: A fragmentary pulse width data train extractor
3 scans a bar code label on a moving article with a
scan beam projected onto the bar code label,
receives the reflection of the scan beam, converts
the reflected beam into an electric signal, and
extracts only pulse width data trains corresponding
to black and white bars constituting a bar code on
the basis of the pulse width of the electric signal
as fragmentary pulse width data trains. A
synthesizing unit 4 synthesizes a complete bar code
pulse width data train from the extracted
fragmentary pulse width data trains on the basis of
position data of data pieces in the data trains, and
outputs the complete bar code pulse width data
train. A decoding unit 5 converts the complete bar
code pulse width data train from the synthesizing
unit into numerals, characters, etc. An outputting
unit 6 outputs the result of the conversion to an
external apparatus.

Abstract: A lightweight wheelchair has adjustable wheel camber, adjustable toe-in/toe-out
positions, and front-to-rear adjustment of a wheel assembly relative to a frame
(40a,40b). The wheel camber is changed by removable camber tubes (50a,50b)
having plugs (54) in opposite ends with different angular relationships. Each camber
tube (50a,50b) can be removed from an axle tube (22), rotated through one hundred
eighty degrees, and reinserted to change the wheel camber. The location of the
angular recesses in the camber plugs (54) addresses minor toe-in/toe-out adjustments
while rotation of the axle tube (22) provided with indicia (82a,82b,84a,84b) ensures
that proper toe-in/toe-out adjustment is provided for larger wheel camber adjustments.
The front to rear location of the wheels relative to the frame can be adjusted via a
single fastener (30a,30b) on each side. The track width of the rear wheels can be
adjusted in response to the change in wheel camber by changing the extent of
insertion of the camber tubes (50a,50b) into the axle tube (22).

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an
apparatus and a method for preventing dropping of a single crystal
having large diameter and heavy weight in a chamber with reduced
pressure and for pulling it in reliable and safe manner. After a
seed crystal 24a is immersed in Si melt in a quartz crucible 14, the
seed crystal is pulled up, and a neck portion 1a with small diameter
is formed under the seed crystal 24a, and a spherical constricted
portion 1b is formed under the neck portion 1a, whereby a tip 23a of
a single crystal support 23 is opened so that it does not come into
contact with the constricted portion 1b under pulling operation.
When a second neck portion 1c under the constricted portion 1b is
moved up to a standby position of the tip 23a of the single crystal
support 23, rotation of an upper chamber 12 is started, and a
rotating shaft 22 is rotated clockwise, and the tip 23a of the single
crystal support 23 is closed to grip a site under the constricted
portion 1b and the single crystal support 23 is moved up at the
same rate as that of the wire 3 by rotating a ball screw shaft 21.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for hosting a network service on a cluster of servers, each
including a primary and a secondary Internet Protocol (IP) address. A common cluster
address is assigned as the secondary address to each of the servers in the cluster. The
cluster address may be assigned in UNIX-based servers using an  ifconfig alias  option, and
may be a ghost IP address that is not used as a primary address by any server in the cluster.
Client requests directed to the cluster address are dispatched such that only one of the
servers of the cluster responds to a given client request. The dispatching may use a
routing-based technique, in which all client requests directed to the cluster address are
routed to a dispatcher connected to the local network of the server cluster. The dispatcher
then applies a hash function to the client IP address in order to select one of the servers
to process the request. The dispatching may alternatively use a broadcast-based technique,
in which a router broadcasts client requests having the cluster address to all of the servers
of the cluster over a local network. The servers then each provide a filtering routine,
which may involve comparing a server identifier with a hash value generated from a client
address, in order to ensure that only one server responds to each request broadcast by the
router.
