Patent EP-0563497-A1 (EP)
IPC: A47C21/02
Filed: 1992-03-04
Abstract: A mattress (1) lies on a slat support which comprises a plurality of sprung support modules (4) arranged spaced apart along two longitudinal supports (2, 3). Each of the support modules (4) extending transversely to the longitudinal supports has a spring slat (5) which is supported in the region of its lateral ends by a support slat (6) which is preferably loosely connected to the said longitudinal supports. In order to prevent displacement of the mattress (1) relative to the slat support, displacement prevention means (8) in each case in the form of a pocket (10) with attachment means (12, 13) are mounted on the lateral lower edges (7) of the mattress. Since the longitudinal supports (2, 3) of the slat support are offset inwards away from the edge of the slat support symmetrically relative to the longitudinal access thereof, the pockets (10) can be looped around the exposed lateral ends of the support modules (4) and attached thereto by the said attachment means. A permanent, simple and aesthetically attractive solution for preventing displacement of the mattress relative to the slat support is outlined here. <IMAGE>

IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 1992-12-10
Abstract: This invention concerns a method for the fast start-up of modems for full-duplex data transmission over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The start-up time for typical current generation modems as specified in CCITT Recommendations V.32 and V.32bis is about 4 to 8 seconds. This invention allows to shorten that start-up time to about 0.5 to 1 second by applying interleaved and overlapping sending and receiving operations of two connected modems, the calling modem and the answering modem. In brief, both modems send and receive simultaneously in a predetermined sequence at different frequency ranges channel probing tones (e.g. for evaluating the channel bandwidth), repetitive identification messages (e.g. for determining reference times, identifying modulation rates and center frequencies), repetitive response messages (e.g. for transmitting the determined bandwidths and reference times to the other modem and determining round-trip delays), and training sequences (e.g. for determining echoes, frequency shifts, and receiver settings). 
     The modems will then transmit data in a full-duplex mode at the modulation rate and center frequency appropriate for the channel and at an initial bit rate. The maximum achievable bit rate may be achieved later during the full-duplex transmission through rate negotiations.

Date May 13, 1993.A sewer pipe to be replaced is worked, starting from a manhole, by a cutter head which is braced at a front end of a new pipe to be force in from the manhole. The cutter head is guided in the pipe to be worked during the cutting operation. Such guidance is accomplished by a guide mechanism, which is mounted on the front on the new pipe and which is pressed with adjustable pressure against the inner wall of the old pipe and is slid therein. The cutter head is prevented from shifting sideways and enables that even reinforced pipes can be worked. The new pipe can be laid on the same level owing to an eccentric adjustability of the cutter head relative to the old pipe, despite any eventual change in diameter.

Abstract: A publisher of a softcopy book includes royalty payment information either within the structured document text of the book or in a royalty payment information file which accompanies the book. To read the book from the storage disk, the user applies a special softcopy book reading program at his workstation. If the user enters a command to copy the book onto a writable storage medium such as a magnetic disk or to print a hardcopy of the book with a printer or to transmit a copy of the book over a modem, a royalty payment program intercepts the copying command and suspends the copying operations. Instead, the royalty payment program presents the user with a display of the royalty payment information stored in the book text or in a file accompanying the book. The user must select the option of paying a royalty to the publisher before the royalty payment program permits a copy of the book to be made.

Abstract: A bag (1) to receive a respective article is formed by a front (6) and a central sheet section (7). Furthermore, with the rear sheet section (8), the central sheet section (7) forms an auxiliary bag (2). When the safety bag is sent by post, a rigid supporting panel (3) is inserted in the auxiliary bag (2) in order to give the safety bag a prescribed stability. The supporting panel (3) is not necessary when the bag is transported by a person. A folded-back flap (12) which adjoins the rear sheet section (8) at the top extends into the gap between the upper end regions of the front (6) and of the central sheet section (7) and prevents the article to be introduced from passing into the auxiliary bag (2). The safety bag is closed at the top by an adhesive strip (13) which connects the front sheet section (6) to the flap (12). At the bottom of the safety bag, there is an attachment (4,4) in the same plane, which serves to receive a confirmation of receipt or a franking stamp and, if appropriate, a postage stamp. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A metal laminate gasket (A) of the invention is used for an internal combustion engine. The gasket is basically formed of first (A10) and second (A11) metal plates piled together, and includes a cylindrical portion integrally formed on the first metal plate (A10) with a first hole, and a second hole formed in the second plate. The cylindrical portion (A10a) extends substantially perpendicularly to the first plate (A10), and has an axial length along the inner periphery at least equal to the thickness of the gasket (A). The second hole (A11b) has a diameter greater than an outer diameter of the cylindrical portion (A10a). When the gasket (A) is assembled, after the cylindrical portion (A10a) is inserted into the second hole (A11b), the cylindrical portion (A10a) is enlarged to press fit against the inner periphery of the second hole (A11b). Thus, the first and second metal plates (A10,A11) are firmly connected together without portions extending outwardly from outer surfaces of the gasket (A).

Abstract: A non-interactive or scavengeless development system for use in color imaging. To control the developability of lines and the degree of interaction between the toner and receiver, an AC voltage is applied between a donor roll (40) and electrodes (42) supported adjacent to the surface of said donor roll (40) to enable efficient detachment of toner from the donor to form a toner cloud. An AC voltage applied between the donor roll assembly and an image receiver serves to position the cloud in close proximity to the image receiver for optimum development of lines and solid areas without scavenging a previously toned image.
