Abstract: An inker module (25) for a high speed mailing machine is disclosed. The inker module (25) includes an ink pad (36) and an ink chamber (204) in which the ink pad (36) is at least partially disposed to sorb ink therefrom. The ink pad device may also comprise an ink reservoir (41) and/or a pump (40) for pumping ink from the reservoir (41) to the ink chamber (204). The inker module (25) is attachable to a drive (32) for moving the ink pad horizontally and vertically from a horizontal home position to a horizontal inking position in which the ink pad (36) is tamped against a printing device (38) which imprints postage indicia. The ink pump (40) comprises a deformable chamber (230) which is compressed to pump ink from the reservoir (41) to the ink chamber (204). In one embodiment, the ink pad (36) and the ink chamber (204) are provided as a disposable, non-replenishable, non-refillable unit containing a limited amount of ink for limited use. In another embodiment, the ink chamber (204), the ink pad (36), the reservoir (41) and the pump (41) form a unit in which ink is replenished from the reservoir (41) to the ink chamber (204). In that embodiment, the entire unit may be made disposable and may be moved by the drive (32) to the inking position. In still another embodiment, the ink pad (36) and the ink chamber (204) form a disposable, replenishable unit, and the reservoir (41) is replace­able. In that embodiment, only the ink pad (36) and the ink chamber (204) are movable by the drive (32) to the inking position.

Abstract: A local area network for interconnecting terminals and other users and data processing systems and other service providers over a communications link. The users and providers connect to the communications link by means of interface units each of which may connect to several users or providers. The interface units communicate over the communications link by means of messages. When a user requires the use of a service, the interface unit establishes a virtual circuit between it and the interface unit connected to the service provider and a service session which allows the user and the service provider to communicate over the virtual circuit. If several users connected to the one interface unit as the first user require services provided by providers which connected to the same interface unit as the first provider, they communicate in sessions over the same virtual circuits. The session messages are accumulated into single virtual circuit messages that are acknowledged in unison by the receiving interface unit. Each virtual circuit in the users' interface units includes a timer which reset when a message is transmitted over the virtual circuit and a data waiting flag set whenever data is present to be transitted over the virtual circuit. The interface units are inhibited from transmitting over a virtual circuit unless the timer has timed out and the data waiting flag is set.

Abstract: A gasket (4) or collecting electrodes (1) are used as members for separating the inside from the outside of an electrical double-layer capacitor and small holes (5) are provided therein through which the internal air is drawn. Thus the internal pressure becomes lower than the atmospheric pressure and the pressure difference is generated between the inside and the outside. 
     Due to this pressure difference, collecting electrodes (1) are pressed to solid polarizing electrodes (2). Hence the resistance in the contacts between the collecting electrodes and the solid polarizing electrodes can be reduced. Since the contact force is obtained by the pressure difference between the inside and the outside, the contact force is applied equally to every part of the contacts. As a result, there is no contact where its contact resistance is not reduced. 
     Further, there is no need of provision of any device for generating the contact force outside the electrical double-layer capacitor.

Abstract: An elastic driving belt (1) stretched between two pulleys (7,8) of fixed distance between centers and having a predetermined starting tensioning, undergoes a permanent elongation such that the residual elastic elongation has a percent value included between the detectable percent contraction values along the inner edge of the belt itself when the latter is respectively wound according to two predetermined bending lines. 
     The residual elastic elongation is detected by measuring the residual tensioning value on the belt when the permanent elongation has occurred, and reading the elongation value corresponding to the residual tensioning value on a load-elongation graph relating to the belt.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for testing the hardness of a workpiece having a uniformly curved outer surface, in particular a pipe or rod, by the penetration method, in which, with the workpiece firmly held, a penetration body is pressed with a defined force into a previously mechanically worked region of the workpiece surface using an apparatus which can be moved towards the workpiece and to which a working tool and a hardness test instrument are attached. In order to provide a method and an apparatus for testing the hardness of a workpiece with which a highly informative automatic hardness test is possible during the process flow for workpieces having a uniformly curved outer surface, in particular pipes or rods, it is proposed that a region of the workpiece surface situated in the horizontal region of movement of the working tool is scanned in lines using a distance sensor before machining and the summit of the curved surface is determined from the measurement data. To position the hardness testing instrument, the summit then forms the test point and a point situated in the region of the summit of the workpiece forms the reference point for the vertical positioning of the working tool.

Abstract: Two windings (W2a,W2b) of a flyback transformer (T1) in a horizontal deflection circuit are inductively coupled with opposite polarity to a source of horizontal rate retrace pulses (12). The windings have a common junction coupled to ground. A circuit (L1,C1,L2,C2) energized by the retrace pulses generates modulated currents of opposite polarity. Conduction of each current is controlled by a switch circuit (18,20) including a semiconductor switch (Q1,Q2) and two diodes (D1-D4). The switch circuits are coupled to one another at a junction, and the junction is coupled to an energy storage capacitance (C3). One of the diodes conducts positively valued portions of the respective current through the energy storage capacitance and the other of the diodes conducts negatively valued portions of the respective current through the semiconductor switch. Each semiconductor switch is a current discharge path. The energy storage capacitance is responsive to the currents for developing a vertical deflection voltage in phase with the currents at the horizontal rate for driving a vertical deflection current in a vertical deflection yoke (LV). The vertical deflection current is related to the difference in amplitude between positively valued portions of the currents. A North-South pincushion correction current in phase with the horizontal deflection is generated by integration of the vertical deflection voltage (V1) in the vertical deflection yoke. A North-South pincushion transformer (T2) has a first winding capacitively coupled to the energy storage capacitance (C3) and a second winding (W4) forming part of a horizontal rate resonant circuit coupled in series with the vertical deflection yoke (LV).
