Abstract: MESSAGE PROTOCOL MODULE            Abstract of the Disclosure A peripheral adapter interfaces at least one peripheral in a data processing system to an I/O pro-cessor which controls the method of communication.  The peripheral adapter comprises a first means which per-forms a serial-parallel, parallel-serial transformation on the information from or to the I/O processor, a second means which provides peripheral controller logic functions, and a third means which generates re-sponse transmissions to the I/O processor in accordance with a defined message protocol.  The method of com-munication is defined such that the peripheral adapter is essentially slave to the I/O processor, responding to messages initiated by the I/O processor.

Abstract: BALLOON CATHETER WITH ROTATABLE   ENERGY STORING SUPPORT MEMBER          Abstract of the Disclosure An intra-aortic balloon adapted to be percutaneously inserted into a blood vessel in which the balloon and its support member are twisted as the balloon envelope is wrapped around its support member before insertion into the vessel to reduce the diameter of the balloon envelope.  The support member is twisted as the balloon is wrapped, thereby storing energy which, urges the unwrapping of the balloon in the vessel.  In one embodiment, the support member is hollow to permit a guide wire to pass therethrough so that placement of the balloon within the human body may be done with greater precision and the hollow support member permits the injection of a radiopaque fluid so that the balloon can be viewed within the vessel, thereby assisting in the placement of the balloon.  In another embodiment, a solid energy storage support member with a highly flexible distal portion provides an intra-aortic balloon of enhanced pliability.

Abstract: MOTION DISCONTINUANCE DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD     ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE          A motion detection system is disclosed which uti-lizes a lens or other imaging means to be responsive to motion in a particular field of view in a room, for example, and pass illumination to a photoelectric means.  The photo-electric cell or a screen in front thereof establishes an image distortion means so that there is a nonuniform electri-cal output from the photosensitive means upon motion of ob-jects in the given field of view. The nonuniform electrical output establishes pulses which are passed to a timer and continually reset the timer so long as there is motion detected.  Upon discontinuance of any motion in the field of view, no further pulses are passed to reset the timer, and the timer times out to de-energize an electrical load.  This may be an electrical lamp illuminating the field of view, or it may be an electric soldering iron or typewriter which is de-energized when the person has left the room.  The fore-going abstract is merely a resume of one general application, is not a complete discussion of all principles of operation or applications, and is not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claimed subject matter.

Abstract: TOOL FOR FORMING EARTH HOLES HAVING FIXED WALLS                 AND METHOD THEREFOR              ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE    A tool comprises two coaxial casings, a leading and a -trailing ones, connected by a tubular coupling element. The casings are  provided with conical tips having spiral tape surfaces for consolidating soil. The trailing or upper casing is provided with an  axial duct for feeding a fixing material into the hole through ports provided in the coupling element. The invention consists in that the diameter of the trailing casing is greater than that of leading casing. A method includes the formation of pilot hole using the leading casing, subsequent formation of the hole of a predetermined diameter using the trailing casing in the advancing sinking of the pilot hole. After the hole has been sunk to a full depth,  the tool is lif-ted until it leaves the pilot hole, the fixing material is supplied into the pilot hole, and the secondary sink-ing of the hole is accomplished, while pressing the fix-ing material into walls and a bottom of the hole.     The invention is useful in forming holes intended for filling piles in weak and water-saturated soils.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF INVENTION         An insulative window shade assembly of the roll-up type for windows or like openings comprises a flexible sheet of material essentially of the size in area of the window or other opening to be insulated.  The flexible sheet of material in its inoperative position is contained in a header or casing mounted at the top of the opening and extending across the width of the opening.  The casing contains a spring-actuated roller upon which the sheet of material is wound with the leading edge protruding through a longi-tudinal slot or opening in the casing.  The system further provides two side guides or channels mounted at the sides of the window or opening, and in which the channels contain a pile fabric to seal the sides of the flexible sheet when unrolled to the operative or insulative position.  The leading edge of the sheet of flexible material is pro-vided with a bar or rigid member equipped with means for securing it in a co-acting gripping device at the base of the window or opening whereby the shade is secured and sealed at the base or bottom of the window.  The gripp-ing means is desirably adjustable so that it can be secured on a horizontal or vertical supporting surface.  The system is featured by unique side guides which are of flexible or hingeable nature, are readily separable into front and back portions whereby they can be opened over at least the lower portion of their lengths to permit a free downward pull upon the sheet so as to activate the the spring mechanism of the roller to readily wind up the shade, when desired.

Abstract: ABSTRACT     A composite strip for preparation of a substrate edge for application of labels is disclosed.  The composite strip comprises an elongated carrier web having an upper surface and a lower surface with the lower surface having a pressure sensitive adhesive backing covered with a removable release sheet.  A high tensile strength film, such as that sold under the trademark "Mylar" by DuPont made of a polyethylene terephthalate, is directly bonded to the upper surface of the carrier web by a further adhesive.  This film provides a receptor surface for receiving labels.  The film is of a width equal to or less than the width of the carrier web and of a width to receive a label therein.  This composite strip has proven useful in preparing a substrate, such as on existing file folder tab or the edge of an x-ray jacket for the subsequent application of a discrete series of labels applied about the edge of the substrate.  Such discrete series of labels may also be applied to the composite strip before its application to the edge of the substrate.  The composite strip is also advantageously used in combination with a tab extension to provide an add-on assembly.
