Abstract: A spout is disclosed, for insertion into and securement to a plastic pouch. The spout comprises a tube (11) having a piercing portion (13) separated from a delivery portion (12) by a film securement portion (22) and having fluid flow communication from the piercing portion to the delivery portion. The film securement portion (22) is adapted to secure, with a substantially liquid-tight seal, plastic film which has been pierced by the piercing portion. The piercing portion (13) appears, in one perspective, to have been sliced at an angle to the longitudinal axis from a first location (23) at one side of said tube adjacent the film securement portion to a second location (14) at the other side of the tube, distal from the film securement portion, to form a tip (14) and to provide a slot (25) which aims to aid in draining material from the pouch, and the tip appears, in a second perspective perpendicular to the first perspective, to have been sliced symmetrically about the longitudinal axis of the tube to form a pointed piercing tip furthest away from the film securement portion (22). The contours of these slices are such that when the pointed tip (14) is pushed into the film, the force required remains substantially constant.

Abstract: The franking machine has, in addition to a main memory, a background memory, by which the storage content of the main memory is taken over during the opening of the housing or of a housing cover of the franking machine. The return of the storage content to the main memory takes place after the closing of the housing or of the housing cover. The exchange of the memory contents is initiated by the signal from an electrical switch provided on the housing. The background memory ensures that the accounting of postage values with the Post Office cannot be falsified as a result of service work.

Abstract: An optical bar code scanner and method which achieves an extended depth of focus by employing a multifocal length collection optical system. A radiation beam is generated for illuminating a field of view, either by a laser or nonlaser source. The embodiments specifically disclosed herein employ nonlaser sources such as LEDs. The multifocal length collection optical system, having at least a near range focal length and a long range focal length, collects radiation reflected from objects in the field of view, and directs it to an optical detector for detection and generation of an electrical output signal indicative thereof. The electrical output signal of the detector is then passed through a high pass filter which filters out a DC background electrical signal, thereby improving the depth of modulation of the signal, and the electrical output signal is directed to electrical processing and decoding circuits. In a first embodiment, the radiation beam is generated by a linear array of light emitting diodes, and the multifocal optical system includes two different lenses, each having a different focal length. The optical detector includes a charge coupled detector having a plurality of charge coupled detection cells, and the field of view is scanned by scanning the electrical outputs of the plurality of charge coupled detection cells. In a second embodiment, the field of view is scanned with an oscillating scanning mirror, and the multifocal optical system includes a first detection mirror having a near range focal length, and a second detection mirror having a far range focal length.

Abstract: The device comprises a portable and independent stimulation element (50) which is controlled by a removable and interchangeable data medium (53) previously programmed as a function of the treatment of each patient in question. The stimulation element is provided at its output with four pairs of electrodes (52, 52') designed to be applied on the part of the patient's body to be treated and to transmit electrical stimulation pulse trains intended to provoke contractions and muscular exercise or training. It comprises electronic circuitry (hardware) of the amorphous type under the command of a control software with parameters which are interactive and connected via coupling and interaction functions, the said software being stored on the removable data medium (3). The value of each parameter can develop progressively throughout the duration of the program between previously programmed reference values, and any parameter can control another parameter. The output channels can be programmed independently of one another and are designed in such a way as to permit interdependence of their activity, it being possible for any parameter of one output channel to control another output channel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and to an apparatus for preparing a heterogeneous catalyst having at least one catalytically active species bound to the surface of a support material. According to the process, the surface of the support is first pretreated. A catalyst reagent containing the catalytically active species or its precursor is vaporized and the vapor is routed into a reaction chamber where it is brought to interact with the support material. The catalyst reagent not bound to the support is withdrawn from the reaction chamber in gaseous form. If necessary, the species bound to the support is posttreated in order to convert it into a catalytically active form. According to the invention, the amount of catalyst reagent brought into the reaction chamber is at least equal to, preferably in excess of the number of available binding sites on the surface. The temperature of the support of kept higher than the condensation temperature of the vapor and at the same time at a sufficiently high level to attain the thermal activation energy needed for forming bonds between the active species and the support. By binding the catalytically active species in this way to the support it is possible to provide a heterogeneous catalyst having a high activity even at small amounts of the active species.

Abstract: A closure (11) for a container (10) has a tamper indicating band (22) with a band retainer (29) in the form of an apertured flap or hoop which is hinged to the lower edge (30) of the band. A series of enclosed, open windows (36) or thin webs (36A) are formed in the retainer, extending toward but not to its distal edge (32). As the retainer is turned inside out from its as molded position to its use position, its distal and/or outer edges deform to relieve compression and permit the retainer to be inverted by direct downward pushing force. As a result of the deformation, the retainer in its use position may, depending on the number and relative size of windows or webs, have an advantageous polygonal peripheral shape rather than a circular shape.

Abstract: The inventive process forms a thermoformable preform by pressure laminating a layer of cloth fabric to one face of the thermoplastic substrate, preferably as the substrate is extruded and while still hot from the extrusion process. This fabric/thermoplastic laminated preform can be easily processed in a matched mold press. The fabric should be of a non-stretch type. This non-stretch characteristic, together with its intimate bonding to the thermoplastic substrate, prevents the substrate from thinning in the corner regions. Indeed, because the intimately bonded fabric drags or pulls the substrate from a number of directions as the corner regions are formed, the thermoplastic substrate accumulates and actually thickens in the corner regions, leading to a shell which is remarkably durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Abstract: A method for acquiring the node identifier of a node in a data processing input/output (I/O) system having a plurality of nodes. This procedure is part of the initialization of each node in the I/O system and may be used to establish the configuration of the I/O system such that if a connection breaks or a fault occurs between nodes, the configuration can be confirmed after the break or fault is corrected. This prevents data from being sent to the wrong device if lines were connected in a different configuration during the correction of a fault. The node identifier is a worldwide-unique identifier such that only one node is identified by a node identifier. The node identifier contains a validity code that specifies if the node identifier is valid. Also disclosed is a retry procedure for retrying the acquisition of a node identifier if the acquired node identifier is not valid, and a deferral procedure which defers the retry procedure if a link is not available. <IMAGE>
