Abstract: A method for producing bundles (22) of tags from a stack of die cut sheets and an apparatus for stripping bundles of tags from a stack of die cut sheets and tying the bundles. The method includes clamping portions of a stack of die cut sheets on opposite sides of a common cut line adjacent the cut line and rotating the portions about the common cut line with respect to each other about an axis parallel to the cut line. The method causes the portions to separate sequentially for individual sheets in order to substantially reduce the stripping force required. The method may further include imparting a force in a direction transverse the sheets during the rotating to further enhance the sequential separation of the sheet portions. The apparatus includes gravity feed means for feeding stacks of sheets into a dual stripping assembly (30) having alternatingly-actuated stripping members (40,42). The apparatus also includes a tying assembly (120) including a pushing member (130) for pushing stripped tag bundles into a wire segment (108) and a rotatable twisting member (142) for snaring and twisting the ends of the wire segments which face the twisting member.

Abstract: A line interface unit (200) for caller-controlled receipt and delivery of voice and/or data messages over a telephone system having a voice/data message facility (18), the message facility connectible to at least one calling station and a called station and normally having access prevention circuitry for preventing storage and forwarding of voice/data messages unless predetermined access codes are received and verified by the circuitry. In the preferred embodiment, the unit comprises a switch (204) connected to a central office (14) and having first and second positions and wherein signals are connected directly between the calling station and the central office when the switch is in the first position. The interface unit also includes circuitry for signaling the message facility and circuitry for monitoring call progress (216) upon call initiation to the called station. Microprocessor-based control circuitry responds to detection of a predetermined condition at the called station upon call initiation, to detection of a first predetermined code from the calling station indicating that the caller desires to leave a voice/data message for the called station, and to detection of a second predetermined code from the voice message facility, to establish a connection between the calling station and the message  facility. Thereafter, a special data string is transmitted to the message facility which, upon receipt thereby, facilitates barrierless entry in and out of the message facility without the predetermined access codes.

Abstract: A magneto-optic recording medium records data in a single, direct-overwrite step. The medium includes a magneto-optical storage layer (32) and a magnetic biasing layer (36,38) disposed in selected heat conductive relationship with the storage layer. The first magnetic field is generated externally of the storage layer at a first energy level of a laser to set the magnetic orientation of domains at the storage layer. At a second energy level of the laser, which is higher than the first energy level, the magnetic biasing layer provides a second magnetic field greater than the first magentic field for setting the magnetic orientation of domains in the storage layer.

Abstract: An infrared detection system having a re-imaging optical system produces a non-axisymmetric aperture stop image at an exit pupil point in or near the cold shield (57) entrance aperture (59). To achieve high cold shield efficiency notwithstanding the asymmetry of the aperture stop image and the resulting astigmatism in such image, two exit pupil stop members (51 and 53) disposed in non-coplanar relation are provided adjacent the exit pupil point. The stop aperture in one such member has its radially extending edges congruent with the corresponding edges of the aperture stop image and is disposed in the plane of best exit pupil formation for those edges; the aperture in the other exit pupil stop member is correspondingly configured and oriented with respect to the circumferential edges of the aperture stop image.

Abstract: The analyzing method for resource allocation and scheduling problem according to the present invention enhances simplification and speed-up of the process without employing the linear programming method, but based on the experimental method. 
     The present invention uses a network consisting of nodes and branches for a model of resource allocation. In a network composed of extracted strongly connected components, the weight of each branch is repeatedly determined in accordance with the flow chart of Fig. 1 so that the sum of the weight of the input branches is equal to the sum of the weight of the output branches at each node. Further, a branch having the maximum weight is detected in the network, so that the nodes are scheduled.

Abstract: In a multipole coupling half, the actual housing serves indirectly, via a thrust piece, for holding contact elements which have their contact points in the head and their electrical and mechanical connecting points for a lead in the foot. The thrust piece has holders for the latching retention of the contact elements and is initially moved into a pre-latching position in the housing, in which the individual contact elements can be inserted via perforations in the housing into the holders of the thrust piece. The thrust piece can then also be displaced into a final locking position, where the perforations are offset with respect to the holders and lock the contact elements. In order also to be able to install in this way contact elements which have no latching tongues, it is proposed to provide on the wall regions between the perforations in the housing fingers having locking ends which project into the interior of the housing. Accordingly, the thrust piece has channels which point in its thrust direction and into which the fingers can move. In consequence, the locking plane is placed in a higher region in the centre of the thrust piece, where the contact elements which have no latching tongues have two undercut shoulders. In the final locking position, the thrust piece moves the one locking shoulder of the contact element over the one locking end of the finger allocated to it. In the previous pre-latching position, the other latching shoulder of the contact element is already interacting with a laterally sprung lug which is a component of the thrust piece and projects into the holder, narrowing it. When the contact element is inserted, the lug springs away laterally. <IMAGE>

Each processor has a high performance microprocessor which tightly couples to an on-board or local memory through the microprocessor's local bus. System memory is accessible using a memory lock protocol while the local memory is accessible through a bus lock protocol. Each on-board memory processor includes a lock mechanism which enables the processing of memory lock commands directed to its local memory received via the system bus from any other processor and for issuing memory lock commands to system memory.

Abstract: A field effect transistor (FET), according to the present invention, comprises a source and drain pair of electrodes having non-uniform charge distributions between them, such as results from small radius tips, and has a gate and channel structure that exists only between points of the source and drain pair that have the less intense charge distributions, e.g., areas not involving any small radius tips. The gate and channel structure is such that, given the non-uniform charge distributions between the source and drain pair of electrodes, the electric field is reduced around the tip by eliminating the n-well junction near the source-drain fingertips.

Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging methods for myocardial tagging are known for assessment of myocardial motion. In such methods tagging pulse and gradient sequences (tsq) are applied to the heart of an object (4) for acquiring tagged magnetic resonance images of, for example, heart slices from diastole to systole, the sequences being triggered upon detection of the R-wave of an ECG. With these known sequences, such as the so-called SPAMM sequence, it is very difficult, if at all possible, to automatically detect the tagging grid and therefore to evaluate the motion quantitatively. 
     According to the present invention a magnetic resonance imaging method and device (1) are disclosed which allow for automatic quantitative motion evaluation of a part of an object (4). The pulse and gradient sequence (tsq1, tsq2) according to the present invention, which achieves a high contrast tagging grid, is a stimulated echo based tagging sequence, the tagging section (TAG) being applied before the imaging section (img) or being integrated (G₉, G₁₀) in the imaging section (img).
