Abstract: There is described a method for cutting continuously supplied material such as,
for example, a strip, a round bar or other metal and non-metal products, intended
in particular for production with high feeding speeds of the material. Cutting is
performed by means of the blades arranged along the generatrices of two counter-rotating
drums (6, 7), that cut the material acting on opposite sides thereof when,
following to the rotation of the corresponding drums, they are positioned opposite
to each other. By causing the drums (6, 7) to rotate with respective angular speeds
of rotation which are different from one another, it is possible to phase-displace
the position of the blades relative to each other and prevent them, after the
material has been cut, from returning into the cutting position during the rotations
occurring immediately afterwards. 
     The invention also comprises a shearing device (1) for implementing the method,
in wherein a divider mechanism (3) with a gearing formed by two different
toothed wheels (81, 82) allows the respective angular speeds of the drums (6, 7)
to be obtained.

Abstract: In a fingerprint detecting device, the skin
surface of a finger is pressed against a transparent
body. A light source irradiates incident light from an
inside of the transparent body on the skin surface. A
thin surface film layer is formed on the surface of the
transparent body, on which a three-dimensional pattern
of the skin surface is transferred by pressing the
finger, to pass the incident light from the light source
in an area where the surface film layer contacts the
surface of the transparent body. A fluid layer is
formed by sealing one of a gas and a liquid between the
surface of the transparent body and the surface film
layer. The fluid layer is pressed by the surface film
layer on which the three-dimensional pattern of the skin
surface is transferred and totally reflects the incident
light from the light source in an area where the fluid
layer contacts the surface of the transparent body. An
image detection unit detects an image fingerprint
pattern on the basis of the light from the light source,
which is reflected by the surface of the transparent
body, when the surface film layer comes into contact
with the surface of the transparent body in accordance
with the three-dimensional pattern of the skin surface.
A method for this device is also disclosed.

Abstract: A manual operation mode specifying a fixed speed change ratio by
manual operation is set in a continuously variable transmission for a vehicle
which continuously varies a speed change ratio to an arbitrary target speed
change ratio. The manual operation mode defines for example first speed-fourth
speed. While a driver is accelerating at the specified speed change ratio, the
speed change ratio is decreased when a predetermined vehicle speed is reached.
A difference of speed change ratio when the driver performs a shift-up
operation after this decrease is thereby reduced. As a result, there are fewer
drops of engine rotation speed due to shift-up, and acceleration performance
is improved.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a file system using a disc
memory storage and a method of managing the file system. Just like the
ordinary server, a first block table Tbl with the offset number of the
file to be written in matched with the block number Dij of the data
block is provided, and the data stored in the memory is read out on the
basis of the contents of the first block table Tbl. On that file system,
a second block registering means is provided which couples the block
number allotted to the file to write and the offset number and, in case
of consecutive block numbers, prepares a second block table Tb2 in which
the first block number of the consecutive block numbers is paired with
the offset number. A second take-out means is also provided. When
consecutive data are to be read out, the second block take-out means
arithmetically processes, on the basis of the contents of the second
block table Tb2, the block numbers Dij to be read out and hands over
the results to the data read-out means.That substantially reduces the
access and processing time for read-out at the block table and makes
the reading out of data highly efficient.

Abstract: The invention provides improved computer network firewalls which include one
or more features for increased processing efficiency. A firewall in accordance with the
invention can support multiple security policies, multiple users or both, by applying any
one of several distinct sets of access rules. The firewall can also be configured to utilize
"stateful" packet filtering which involves caching rule processing results for one or more
packets, and then utilizing the cached results to bypass rule processing for subsequent
similar packets. To facilitate passage to a user, by a firewall, of a separate later
transmission which is properly in response to an original transmission, a dependency mask
can be set based on session data items such as source host address, destination host
address, and type of service. The mask can be used to query a cache of active sessions
being processed by the firewall, such that a rule can be selected based on the number of
sessions that satisfy the query. Dynamic rules may be used in addition to pre-loaded
access rules in order to simplify rule processing. To unburden the firewall of application
proxies, the firewall can be enabled to redirect a network session to a separate server for
processing.

IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-09-22
Abstract: A system for providing segmented control of a single, homogeneous routing
structure, such as a switch fabric, includes application control elements that are each
responsive to embedded signal status information for each of the input signals to the
switch fabric. Within each of the application control elements, a configurable
arrangement of selectors and control logic is used to provide domain segmented
control of each of the separate switching functions for a particular application. Each
application control element performs an application specific address resolution
function to resolve a single address of one of the input signals based on the embedded
signal status of each of the input signals. This single address is provided to the
switch fabric so that the corresponding input signal can be selected at the switch
fabric output. Because embedded signal status is provided locally at each selection
point within the application control element, the control functions for each of the
separate switching functions are decoupled, and, as a result, each of the separate
switching functions can be independently controlled as a separate domain within the
application control element. The single, homogeneous switch fabric simultaneously
supports multiple applications in parallel because each of the application control
elements is used to control a separate output from the switch fabric. Because of the
one for one association between application control elements and switch fabric
outputs, the switch fabric is effectively "channelized" whereby each channel of the
switch fabric supports a separate application.
