Abstract: A floor care method and machine are disclosed, wherein a replaceable floor care element (e.g., a cleaning pad, a brush, a polishing pad, etc.) is easily attached to and detached from the rest of the machine. For attaching the floor care element, an operator positions the machine (minus any floor care element) over the such an element so that components on the machine and/or the floor care element cause the floor care element to operationally align with the rotatable drive of the machine so that rotation of the drive in the direction used during floor care operations causes the floor care element to securely attach to the drive. Alternatively, to detach the floor care element, the direction of rotation can be reversed. The machine can then be tilted upwardly onto its rear wheels and rolled to a location where the floor care element is not underneath the rest of the machine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for producing a mosaic panel for pavements and facings in which onto a support sheet (4) constituted by a film of non-adhesive plastic material there is dispensed, before the sheet is coupled with a grouping (2) of tesserae (2a), a distribution of hot glue such as to affect all the tesserae (2a) of the grouping (2). The glue exerts a relatively strong adhesive force on the sheet (4) and a weaker adhesive force on the tesserae (2a), in such a way that the connection between tesserae and sheet will resist the detachment stresses due to the weight of the tesserae that occur during the normal operations of handling the panel before it is installed, and also such that when the panel has been installed and the sheet (4) is removed, the glue remains attached to the sheet (4). The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out this method and the panels obtained thereby. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A disc recording device has a mode control unit for switching the device either to a read mode or to a write mode. Reading and writing can be alternated for simultaneous recording and reproducing of video. A rotation speed control unit sets the rotation speed of the record carrier, and has a speed selector for selecting one of at least two speed settings for the read mode in dependence on an actual rotation speed of the record carrier during the write mode when switching from write mode to read mode. By setting the read speed to one of a limited number of settings the difference in rotation speed between said actual rotation speed and the speed in the read mode is limited. Due to the limited differences power dissipation is limited, while the performance of access time and playability of real-life discs is at a high level.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de fourniture d'un son arbitraire choisi par un abonné appelé au lieu d'une tonalité de retour d'appel à un abonné appelant. Dans la présente invention, si un appel est reçu, un central de raccordement demande une liaison interurbaine à un serveur de bd de sons basée sur la première information signifiant s'il faut ou non remplacer une tonalité de retour d'appel, et la seconde information sur une route vers le serveur de bd de son lesquelles sont reçues d'un registre des positions des stations de rattachement (HLR), et il fournit une identification de l'abonné appelé au serveur de sons. Ensuite, le serveur de bd de sons interroge sa base de données afin de trouver un son spécifié par l'appelé, et il fournit le son trouvé pour l'appelant à la place d'une tonalité de retour d'appel classique, via le central de raccordement connecté par l'intermédiaire d'une ligne réseau. Par cette procédure séquentielle d'éléments de réseau, un appelant peut entendre un son spécifié par un appelé à la place d'une tonalité de retour d'appel ennuyeuse.
