Abstract: Apparatus for straightening elongate material such as wire (2) comprises a rotary member (12, 14) through which the material is fed, and which includes deflection means (for example sleeve 114) for deflecting the material regularly as it passes through the rotary member. The rotary member (12, 14) is driven at a controlled speed by a motor (16) controlled by a control unit (22) which also controls a feed mechanism (4) for feeding material through the rotary member (12, 14) at a controlled rate. The control unit (22) is operable to cause a rotation speed of the rotary member to increase and decrease in response to corresponding variations in the rate at which the material is fed through the rotary member. For example, the rotary member may rotate at a speed directly proportional to the rate of feed of the elongate material.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FR97/00643 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 23, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 23, 1999 PCT Filed Apr. 11, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/38202 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 16, 1997An opening and closing device for use with a shutter system for protecting a building space, such as a slat-type roller blind for a window, includes a series of slats capable of sliding in two generally vertical, laterally positioned guides (4). The slats are hooked to each other by hooking systems (7), and include a male/female interlocking system along their length. The device can be used to lower or raise the shutter system to close or open the protected space, moving between a totally closed position and a partially or fully opened position. In the closed position, the lower slat rests against a horizontal surface and the slats are interlocked with one another along their length to form a continuous sheet. In the partially or fully opened position, the slats are disengaged and separated from each other by a space determined by the height of the hooking system (7). Mirrored elements (20) can be attached to the faces of at least some of the slats to give bottom floors of the protected space maximum natural illumination while the space remains completely private, and to illuminate upper floors by altering the openings of the slats so that incoming light can be inhibited and/or diffused. This permits regulation of the internal temperature of the building responsive to the openings of the slats. When the slats are completely closed, the internal surface of the shutter system forms a mirror capable of saving a considerable amount of energy.

Abstract: A method for retrieving excess pharmaceutical process fluid from the hold-up volume of a primary fluid filtration device. The hold-up volume is the volume of excess process fluid which accumulates in the bottom of the filter housing below the outlet opening thereof. Because it is considered valuable, the excess pharmaceutical process fluid is retrieved from the lower housing (22) via a drainage port (23) formed therein below the level of the outlet. The excess process fluid is then filtered in a supplemental filtration device (100) that is connected to the drainage port. The supplemental filtration device has a smaller volumetric capacity than the capacity of the primary fluid filtration device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for the analysis of a fluid to determine the remaining useful life of the fluid and whether the fluid has become contaminated. The method can be performed either on-line or off-line, however, the on-line method is preferred. In the method, a sample of the fluid is contacted by a single electrode which is connected to the ground potential by means of the equipment in which the fluid is used. A current is applied to the sample through the electrode and the conductivity of the sample is measured. The conductivity measurement can then compared to known values for the fluid to determine the remaining useful life of the fluid and whether the fluid has become contaminated.

Abstract: A firewall isolates computer and network resources inside the firewall from networks, computers and computer applications outside the firewall. Typically, the inside resources could be privately owned databases and local area networks (LAN's), and outside objects could include individuals and computer applications operating through public communication networks such as the Internet. Usually, a firewall allows for an inside user or object to originate connection to an outside object or network, but does not allow for connections to be generated in the reverse direction; i.e. from outside in. The disclosed invention provides a special "tunneling" mechanism, operating on both sides of a firewall, for establishing such "outside in" connections when they are requested by certain "trusted" individuals or objects or applications outside the firewall. The intent here is to minimize the resources required for establishing "tunneled" connections (connections through the firewall that are effectively requested from outside), while also minimizing the security risk involved in permitting such connections to be made at all. The mechanism includes special tunneling applications, running on interface servers inside and outside the firewall, and a special table of "trusted sockets" created and maintained by the inside tunneling application. Entries in the trusted sockets table define objects inside the firewall consisting of special inside ports, a telecommunication protocol to be used at each port, and a host object associated with each port. Each entry is "trusted" in the sense that it is supposedly known only by individuals authorized to have "tunneling" access through the firewall from outside.

Abstract: A shot sleeve for a die casting machine comprises an elongated hollow body for receiving and guiding a shot plunger. This body defines an elongated chamber of predetermined cross-section having a front opening to face a sprue runner of a die. According to the invention, the cross-section enlarges over part of its length in forward direction, i.e. towards the front opening. When combined with the shot plunger, it forms a shot unit, and it is preferred, if the plunger's front surface comprises a conical surface which tapers away from a perimetrical scrapping edge of the plunger, the conical surface having a base of smaller cross-section than the perimetrical edge to form a marginal surface under an angle to said conical surface. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A computer-readable medium stores sequences of instructions to be executed by a processor. These instructions cause the processor to perform the following steps to enhance 3-D localization of a speech source. A digital speech signal is received. The maximum frequency of the digital speech signal is determined. The sampling rate of the digital speech signal is increased. Next, wide-band Gaussian noise is added to the digital speech signal to create a wide-band digital speech signal with higher frequencies. Finally, the wide-band digital speech signal can be localized via an FIR (finite impulse response) filter.

An optical sensor is disposed adjacent the fuelling robot and is adapted to detect optically the position of the fuel-tank flap of a vehicle parked for fuelling purposes, relative to the rest position of the robot head. The sensor is also adapted to detect the position of the orifice of the fuel-tank filler pipe relative to the position of the robot head. A computer receives position signals from the sensor and guides a robot-carried opening device into abutment with the fuel-tank flap to open the flap, and to effect docking of a fuelling nozzle within the fuel-tank filler pipe orifice.

Abstract: A process for drying or curing green wood including the heating of green wood in a heating enclosure to a predetermined temperature over about 120 F while maintaining the moisture content of the wood close to the original moisture content of the felled wood, and then immediately cooling the heated wood with a cooling fluid at a temperature and humidity substantially less than the temperature and relative humidity of the heating enclosure for a time period sufficient for the wood to reach substantially the reduced temperature of the cooling fluid for normally removing at least about 5% of moisture from the green wood. The green wood is conditioned by the cooling step for subsequent drying steps in which moisture removal rates are substantially higher than moisture removal rates under prior conventional drying steps. The green wood process as set forth is effective to minimize staining of the wood.
