Abstract: In one preferred embodiment, a method of identifying a document having top and bottom surfaces, comprising: printing on a portion of one of the surfaces of the document a pattern of spaced apart opaque areas arranged in a selected pattern, the opaque areas being separated by less opaque areas and the opaque and the less opaque areas being of substantially the same visual color; directing a beam of light against the bottom surface; moving the coded indicia relative to, and through, the beam of light; and detecting the selected pattern by detecting when transmission of the beam of light through the document is blocked by the opaque areas and detecting when the light is transmitted through the less opaque areas between the opaque areas. In another preferred embodiment, method of identifying a document having a surface, comprising; placing on the surface of the document a pattern of alternating smooth and matte areas of substantially the same visual color arranged in a selected pattern; directing a beam of light against the surface; moving the document relative to the beam of light; and detecting the selected pattern by detecting when the beam of light is reflected by the smooth areas and when the beam of light is scattered by the matte areas.

Abstract: This invention relates to apparatus and methods for providing cellular mobile telecommunication service in accordance with the requirements of the Global Systems for Mobile Communications (GSM) standard. A modular switching system is provided which performs the functions of the mobile switching center (210) plus those of a home location register (212), authentication center (216), visitor location register (214), and equipment identity register (218). The latter functions are advantageously spread among the modules of the switching system, thus avoiding the getting started cost of expensive dedicated data bases. A wireless global switching module advantageously switches mobile communications control messages among the modules of the system and between the modules and the base station systems (204), and terminates signaling links between the mobile switching center and the base station systems.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for mounting or taking down a curtain from a rail, the curtain having suspending elements with T-shaped sliding heads and the rail possessing, on its underside, a guide slot running in the longitudinal direction of the rail and intended for guiding through the suspending elements. The sliding heads are pivotable through 90@ against spring action and can then come out of the guide slot of the rail. A hang-up magazine with an entry channel for the suspending elements can be attached in the region of the guide slot. The hang-up magazine additionally has a control curve with a narrowing, such that the sliding heads of the entering suspending elements are turned through 90@ via a cam and can thus be transferred from the rail to the hang-up magazine, in which process the suspending elements are securely guided by guiding flanges in a guiding curve of the hang-up magazine. The hang-up magazine furthermore possesses a flexible magazine bar which eventually receives all suspending elements, so that the curtain in question can be taken out of the rail or conversely introduced into it again. The hang-up magazine can be folded up by virtue of the flexible magazine bar to form a package which is suitable for passing through openings of washing machines, with the result that the curtain can be washed together with the hang-up magazine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A sample from individual items may after extraction be analyzed for the contents of one or more fat-soluble compound(s) by HPLC chromatography, the separation column during injection of the analysis sample being protected by means of a precolumn which during the further course of analysis is switched out of serial connection with the separation column so that it may be purified by flushing with appropriate fat-soluble agents. The apparatus for carrying out the method is composed of standard HPLC components. The method may be used for detecting or sorting-out such individual items for which the analysis results show excess of a predetermined threshold value of the fat-soluble compound(s) searched for.

Filed: 1994-09-08
Abstract: A control valve having, in a series with a first inlet valve (40) of a quick brake volume, two different rates of flow restrictions operable as a function of the position of the piston (12). The first flow rate of one first restriction is insufficient to cause the piston (12) to assume a braking position for applying a minimum service application for first range of piston positions which would generally be produced by the mechanical vibration. The second restriction has a greater flow and will accelerate the piston (12) to a braking position for a second range of piston positions which will be produced by the reduction of the brake pipe pressure on one face of the piston (12). By providing two flow rates, the valve becomes insensitive to mechanically produced forces while maintaining the reaction time of the valve to fluidically produced reduction of brake pipe pressure.

Abstract: An arrangement and method for arbitration to enable split transaction bus protocols provides for a slave to assert a mask signal that sets a mask bit in a mask register when the slave is not ready to complete a requested transaction. A requesting master 28 is forced off the bus 30 and prevented from re-arbitrating while the mask bit is set in the register. When the slave 20 is ready to complete the transaction, a release master signal is asserted which causes the bit in the shift register to be reset. The requesting master is then able to re-arbitrate for use of the bus to complete the transaction. The usable bandwidth of the bus is increased since other masters are able to arbitrate and use the bus until the slave is ready to complete the transaction with the first requesting master.
