Filed: 1998-01-27
Abstract: A web (10) is wound on a core (16) into a web roll (17) while being
traversed in a width direction of the web (10) at a predetermined cycle and
amplitude so that each end face of the web roll (17) can have corrugations of
predetermined form. The web (10) is wound with both edges thereof being
staggered. Thus, if the thickness of the web (10) is uneven in the width
direction, thick parts and thin parts are alternately layered, so that the web
(10) can be wound under an even pressure, and the web roll (17) can have
good form. Since the end face of the web roll (17) has the corrugations of
predetermined form (for example, sawtooth form), the web (10) can be
prevented from slipping on the web roll (17), and the web roll (17) can be
suitable for transportation.

Abstract: To produce pencil and similar bodies, a pulp (30) is formed in a vessel (7) of raw material powder and/or fibers (3) and water, free of bonding agents. The pulp (30) is passed to a sieve (8) to be dried into a felting web in layers as disks or films, to be rolled round a roller (9). Between the layers (2), additional layers are inserted as a material layer, a bonding layer (4) with a bonding agent, adhesives and/or other additives. The shaped boards are cut, cleared of water and dried and processed into pencil board racks, and/or the body shafts for pencils and crayons. The pulp (30) at the sieve (8) is passed through a zone to orient the fibers (3) longitudinally at the first water extraction zone, to be fixed in place by suction at the fixing zone on further drying. A number of layers (2) are overlaid to give the required board thickness, to be wound round the roller (9) and cut. Further drying, combined with heat if required, activates the bonding agent and/or adhesive. After the boards have been dried and pressed, they are cut to size for further processing into pencil boards and/or directly into pencil and crayon body shafts. The grooves to hold the pencils are cut into the board surface. One of the layers is a migration layer, which disperses between the particles or fibers (3) of the material layers. The bonding agent or adhesive is concentrated by precipitation at the edges in an uneven distribution.

Filed: 1998-11-04
Abstract: An infra red intrusion detection system employs a
transmitter unit having a plurality of transmitters (A t , B t ,
C t , D t ) arranged in a transmitter housing and a plurality of
receivers (A r , B r , C r , D r ) arranged in a receiver housing that
is separate from the transmitter housing. A transmitter
controller (2, 4, 6, 8) causes the transmitters to transmits
in a predetermined sequence and at a predetermined transmit
rate. A receiver controller (20, 22, 24, 26) is arranged to
read the receiver inputs in a predetermined sequence and at
a predetermined receive rate. By arranging for the transmit
and receive rates to be different, the need for a
synchronising link between the transmitters and the
receivers is avoided, thus providing simplification.

Patent EP-0986881-A2 (EP)
Title: Switchless call processing
Inventor: CAVE ELLIS K
IPC: H04M3/51
Filed: 1998-04-27
Abstract: A switchless Automatic Call Distribution ("ACD") system distributing incoming calls to call agents networked via a low-cost data network such as an ethernet. Standard POTS calls are received from the Public Switched Telephone Network ("PSTN"), whereupon a POTS/packet gateway digitizes the signal (if necessary) and compresses it, advantageously from mu-law format (64 Kbps) down to approximately 5-6 Kbps. The POTS/packet gateway then converts the signal into a packetized format. Responsive to a call distribution algorithm identifying the next available agent by IP address, the caller's packetized voice signals are distributed to the agent over the ethernet. At the same time, Web-enabled database tools generate "documents," advantageously in html, containing database information regarding the caller. These documents are then distributed to the agent over the ethernet. The agent may then converse with the caller using a headset connected to a standard desktop computer running CODEC software to transmit and receive packetized voice signals. At the same time, the computer runs browser software to allow the agent to receive html documents and send back updated information while talking to the caller. As a result, the ACD system has been optimized into a switchless ethernet connecting agents operating standard desktop computers running low-cost CODEC and browser software.

IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 1998-08-18
Abstract: The idea of the present invention is to enable the transmission of control information via several logical channels and to select the transmission channel dynamically by using a predefined selection rule. There are at least two logical channels that can be selected for the transmission of information. These logical channels should preferably include at least one signalling channel which is allocated in a connection-specific manner. The signalling channels which are allocated in a connection-specific manner can be signalling channels which use the capacity of the traffic channel or independent signalling channels which are allocated separately from traffic channels. At least one of the logical channels available for selection should preferably also be a shared channel allocated to several connections for joint signalling. The parameters of the selection rule used in the logical channel selection can include, for example, the effect of the use of the logical channels on the quality of service of the connection which uses the traffic channel, the current usage rate of the logical channels, the number and priority of messages to be sent, and an estimate of the number and priority of messages to be sent in the near future.

Inventor: KEN CHRISTOPHER G M
IPC: A61F2/84
Filed: 1996-06-28
Abstract: This is an implantable vaso-occlusive device. It is typically a vaso-occlusive
coil comprised of a primary helically wound coil which may then be wound into a
secondary shape. Central to the invention is the use of a stretch-resisting member
fixedly attached within at least a portion of the primary coil. The stretch-resisting
member may be formed into coil tips at the ends of the coil by melting the polymeric
fibers or alloys or by attaching the fibers with a glue. This stretch-resisting member
is for the primary purpose of preventing stretching of the coil during movement of
that coil, e.g., by retrieval or repositioning after deployment. The device typically
has a self-forming secondary shape made from a pre-formed primary linear helically
wound coil, although it need not have the secondary form. External fibers may be
attached to the device and affixed to the pre-formed linear member to increase. The
vaso-occlusive member may be also be covered with a fibrous braid. The device is
typically introduced into the body through a catheter. The device is passed axially
through the catheter sheath and assumes its secondary form upon exiting the catheter.

Abstract: A micropump for bidirectional fluid flow consists of two active
diaphragm valves and a diaphragm pumping chamber, driven by unimorph
piezoelectric actuators. 
     The manufacture of the micropump comprises the following steps: 
A 0.3 µm oxide film is formed on the the silicon substrate (1). Part of
the oxide film is etched away by hydrogen fluoride (HF). On the
remaining part of the film, a wet etching step with tetra methyl
ammonium hydroxide (TMAH) is performed. After stripping the remainders
of the oxide with HF a new oxide layer (1.2 µm) is applied. 
The diaphragms are etched with a potassium hydride (KH) solution,
thereby determining the thickness of the diaphragm. Then a glass
substrate (2) having laser-cut through-holes (ø 0.6 mm) is bonded
to the silicon substrate. The packings of the valve diaphragms are
clamped between glass and silicon substrates by anodic bonding. Finally
the piezoelectric actuators are attached to valve and pumping
diaphragms. The thickness of packing and/or diaphragm can be adjusted to
determine the valve strength. 
Additional layers (9) preventing adhesion can be coated on the glass
substrate surface, thereby realising packings with higher fluid
tightness.
