Abstract: A tool (20) for forming a high strength reinforcing bar coupling driving self-locking
wedge sleeves over each end of a contractible jaw assembly bridging the abutting ends
of the bar to be joined. The sleeves (174,175) are seated in collars (112,113) engaged by the distal ends of
arms (21,22) driven for closure by a piston-cylinder power unit (40) and a cam on at least one arm.
In one form the cam (60) on one arm is engaged by a roller (58) connected by a tension link (55,56) to
the other arm. In another form cams are provided on each arm driven by rollers (104,105) fixed
with respect to each other. The collars (112,113) include self-releasing collets (123) seating the

Abstract: An arithmetic unit 15 multiplies a codeword X and a
correlation matrix W. A comparison unit 17 compares the
products output from the arithmetic unit 15 with a threshold
±TH. A learning state monitor 18 updates the correlation
matrix based on the comparison results from the comparison
unit. When all of the codewords are updated and the
calculation results using the updated correlation matrix fall
within a predetermined range, the threshold is changed to
repeat the learning operation again for all of the codewords.
When the calculation results obtained from the updated
correlation matrix do not fall within a predetermined range
and equal the previous calculation results, the update value
for the correlation matrix is decreased to repeat the
learning operation again for all of the codewords. When the
update value becomes 0, an optimal threshold as well as an
optimal correlation matrix are obtained, thereby completing
the learning operation.

Abstract: Commonly known prams of the collapsible type are designed so that the pram wheels
are easily detached, and the entire underframe may thus be folded down to a storage or
transport position, in which it appears with low overall height or thickness. However,
by the invention it has been realised that the overall height can be further reduced by
the springs (30) being constituted by mainly horizontally oriented springs (30) which
act directly on the scissor frame (4) between opposite branches (8, 9) thereof, as the
scissor frame (4) and the carriage body (2) are slidingly interconnected, whereby the
scissor frame (4) hereby can be allowed to perform resilient, operative foldings up and
down. Hereby is the commonly occurring underframe is made redundant, a fact enabling
a reduced overall height.

Abstract: Program data for use in electronic program guides is selected for storage at
a low resource client according to a preference for current program data over
program data for a future time. In the described implementation, a memory
representative of the client memory is disproportionately allocated for different
time units (e.g., 24-hour days) to be represented in an electronic program guide.
Analysis is conducted as to whether program data for the different time units can
fit in the portions of memory and adjustments to the amount of program data for
respective time units are made. Different-size sets of program data are eventually
selected such that more program data will be stored in the portion of memory
corresponding to the current time unit and progressively less program data will be
stored in other portions of memory corresponding to future time units.

Abstract: A spectroscopic analyser and method of use, for
surface analysis spectroscopy, are disclosed. The
spectroscopic analyser 10 has a time-of-flight (TOF)
spectrometer which analyses secondary electrons emitted
from a surface of a sample 30 on excitation by an
irradiation source 40. The TOF spectrometer includes a
gate 50, which receives and selectively passes a
proportion of the secondary electrons by pulsed
deflection or retardation of the electron beam using
gating members 55. In that manner one or more pulses of
electrons enter a magnetic field-free flight tube 90 and
reach a detector 120 downstream of the gate 50. The
flight times, and therefore energies, of the detected
electrons through the flight tube 90 are thereby
detected. A curved electron mirror 100 may be used to
increase the flight path of the pulsed electrons in the
flight tube 90, thereby increasing the spread of each
electron pulse within the analyser 10.
