Abstract: The invention relates to a locking device for a selector lever (5) for an automatic gearbox,
the locking device acting upon a transmission member situated between the selector lever and
the automatic gearbox. The selector lever (5) is connected in a first gear-shift gate (12) to the
transmission member, and the locking device then acts upon the transmission member and secures
it in its current position when the selector lever has left the first gear-shift gate (12) and is no
longer connected to the transmission member. In addition, a longitudinal locking means (10),
which holds the selector lever in pre-set positions during its longitudinal movement in the
first gear-shift gate (12), is provided on the selector lever (5). In order to provide a locking
device which is inexpensive in design and simple to assemble, it is proposed that the locking device
and the longitudinal locking means (10) interact with each other when the selector lever (5) is in
the first gear-shift gate (12). In this way, the locking device is now unlocked by way of the
longitudinal locking means, so that the transmission device for the automatic gearbox is released
only when the selector lever is moved.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for processing media to check the validity of checks and other negotiable instruments and print as necessary on said media. The device comprises in sequence along a transport path (9) from an insertion opening (6) a transportation mechanism (3), a printing mechanism (4) and a reading mechanism (5). When the medium (8) is transported by the transportation mechanism (3) along the transport path (9) to a predetermined position, the check is positioned between a presser roller (51) and a sensor (52) of the reading mechanism (5). The presser roller (51) then presses the check (8) against the sensor (52) while the transportation mechanism (3) pulls the check and information recorded on the check is read. This operation straightens wrinkles and removes slack from check (8) to reduce reading errors. Based on the read information, a printing process is then executed by the printing mechanism (4) and the check is ejected from the insertion opening (6). Task efficiency is therefore good, and the occupied space can be minimized. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a mobile radio network such a GSM network, an operative identity code is passed by
a mobile station to the fixed network part at the start of each communication transaction.
This operative identity code will either be the unique identity code (IMSI) assigned to
the mobile-station user or, more usually, a temporary, substitute, identity code (TMSI)
allocated by the fixed network part with a view to obscuring the identity of the user to
anyone monitoring the network radio traffic. Whilst the fixed network infrastructure
knows the association between a temporary identity code (TMSI) and the corresponding
unique identity code (IMSI) of a user, this information is generally not readily
accessible. To enable the current temporary identity code (TMSI) of a user to be readily
tracked without burdening the network infrastructure, a monitoring arrangement is
provided which monitors network signalling messages to link the different messages
associated with a particular user mobile station that separately give the current operative
identity code (line "c") and assign a successor operative identity code to that user (line
"h"). In one embodiment applicable to a GSM network, messages on the A interface that
carry identity code information for a particular user during a communication transaction
are linked through the local references of the SCCP connection established for the
transaction. In a second embodiment, also applicable to GSM, messages on the Abis
interface are monitored and linked through the channel numbers contained in these
messages.

Abstract: A method of producing an optical waveguide grating by
exposure to light. An optical waveguide having a core composed
of a material wherein the refractive index changes due to
exposure to UV light is formed into an optical waveguide grating
by applying a grating portion formation step wherein a grating
portion is formed by irradiation with UV light at a
predetermined spacing, and an overall exposure step after
formation of the grating portion wherein the entire grating
portion is irradiated with UV light. As a result, the effective
refractive index of the grating portion is changed so as to
allow the central wavelength to be adjusted without changing the
rejection. Consequently, the grating properties can be
precisely and easily controlled.

Abstract: To provide a filter apparatus including a deodorizing
filter and means for maintaining the performance of the
deodorizing filter having a high deodorizing speed, in which
re-release of removed odor molecules is suppressed, which can
stably used for an extended period of time without any recovery
operation. 
     A deodorizing filter is made of an adsorbent for adsorbing
odor molecules and a transition metal chelate compound which
serves as a catalyst for the odor molecules for causing an
oxidation reaction. Combination of fast odor adsorption by
means of the adsorbent with decomposition the odor which has
been separated from the adsorbent with the transition metal
chelate compound maintains long-term performance As an example
of the filter, a composite deodorizing filter (10) is formed by
wrapping an activated carbon filter (2) with an air-permeable
bag (1) made of unwoven fabric on which the transition metal
chelate compound is carried as shown in the drawings. Further,
air-permeable heating means is disposed for the purpose of
promoting the decomposition of odor molecules. Water supply
means for supplying water to the composite deodorizing filter
is added to prevent the lowering of the performance in a low
humidity environment. 
     By removing oxygen which is dissolved in the alkaline
aqueous solution in which metal phthalocyanine complex is 
dissolved by means of, for example bubbling with an inert gas,
dimerization of complex molecules which may otherwise cause the
deodorizing performance to be lowered is prevented from
occurring and metal phthalocyanine is carried on a filter
carrier.

Abstract: A memory controller provides fast processing of sequential split memory access
instructions which include a split write instruction. In a split write instruction, a write address and
write request are provided to the memory controller in an initial transaction while write data can
be provided to the memory controller in a later transaction. The memory controller includes a
sideline buffer, for buffering incomplete write instructions, and memory control logic which
ensures proper execution of the sequential memory access instructions. Upon receiving an
incomplete write instruction, the memory control logic stores the corresponding write request and
write address in the sideline buffer until corresponding write data becomes available. The memory
control logic determines if there is overlap between memory space to be occupied by an initial
write data block and memory space to be occupied by a subsequent read data block or second
write data block, of a read or write instruction respectively. By using a sideline buffer to
temporarily store incomplete write instructions, processing of sequential memory access
instructions can continue subject to observance of memory access conflict rules.
