Title: Modular coupling for use in frameworks, scaffoldings and the like
IPC: E04B1/19
Filed: 1990-03-26
Abstract: To connect the individual bars (2) and supports (3), if any are present, of a framework structure, connectors having in a customary manner connector openings (4) and connector projections (5) are provided. In order that the connection process and also the detachment of the connection can be carried out as simply and quickly as possible and nevertheless a secure and firm connection can be obtained, retaining pins (6) which can be laterally deflected counter to a restoring force are provided inside the particular connector opening (4), within the clear cross-section thereof. The connector projection (5) which fits into the connector opening (4) has a sloping face (7) or tip which, on insertion, impinges on and moves apart these retaining pins (6) and, adjoining said oblique face or tip, an aperture (8) which recedes radially with respect to the largest cross-section of the connector projection (5) and into which the retaining pins (6) can thus spring back again, with the result that the first loose connection is already made. Adjacent to this aperture (8) in the circumferential direction there are provided regions (9) which, on relative rotation of the connector projection (5), deflect the retaining pins (6) in turn radially as far as the outer dimension of the connector projection (5), so that the connector projection (5) can be very easily drawn out of the opening (4) again or, conversely, the opening (4) can be very easily withdrawn from the projection (5). To secure the play-endowed connection, there is furthermore provided in the region of the connector projection (5) a sliding or screw sleeve (11) which, in the connected position, can be adjusted and locked relative to the surface region adjacent to the connector joint, with the result that the connector projection (5) and especially the radial boundary (8a) of its aperture (8) is clamped against the retaining pin (6) counter to the insertion direction.

Title: Fault tolerant multipoint data collection system
Inventor: JUDD JOHN E
IPC: H04Q9/14
Filed: 1993-11-22
Abstract: A multipoint data collection system uses multiple parallel data buses connecting a central controller to addressable sensor interfaces to permit any sensor to be connected to a central controller over any one of the data buses. Faults on a data bus may be bypassed, or multiple sensors monitored simultaneously in real time, through the use of the parallel data buses. Digital address signals and analog data are transmitted on the same data bus, distinguished from one another by restricting the voltage range of the analog data to voltages above the voltage corresponding to a digital zero and below the voltage corresponding to a digital one.

Title: Method and device for transmitting teletext pages
Inventor: SCHMITZ HERMAN JAN RENIER
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1996-05-24
Abstract: In interactive teletext, an individual user establishes a connection (6) with a central computer (14).
