Abstract: An apparatus  (10)  and method for applying thin film polymer labels to small cylindrical articles such as dry cell batteries without label mismatching is disclosed. A label transport drum  (42)  is rotatably mounted on a frame  (22) . Cut labels are supplied to the surface of the label transport drum as the drum  (42)  is rotated. An adhesive is applied onto the area adjacent the leading edge of the label while the label is moving with the drum  (40) , and a solvent is applied onto an area adjacent the trailing edge of the label. Cylindrical articles are conveyed in tangential spinning engagement with the label transport drum  (42)  and into rotative engagement with the adhesive on the leading edge of the label so as to transfer the label onto the article as the label is moved into engagement with the rotating article. A pressure plate  (134)  imparts pressure against selected sides and ends of the article during wrapping to prevent mismatching of the label as the label wraps around the article. A seam is formed at the overlap of leading and trailing edge portions. The pressure plate  (134)  has an article engaging surface  (134a)  positioned adjacent the surface of the drum  (42) . The camber of the plate may be varied relative to the articles conveyed on the surface of the drum, thus varying the pressure imparted against selected areas of the article during labeling to prevent mismatching of the label.

Abstract: The scrap material, comprising collected nickel-cadmium or nickel hydride cells, after preliminary comminution (1), is subjected to a grinding secondary comminution (2) and then screened (3). The coarse screen fraction (G) is separated by air classification (4) into a light fraction (L) and a heavy fraction (H), and the latter (H) is separated (5) magnetically. Light fraction (L) and non-magnetic portion (HN) are dried (6) and screened (7) in order to free non-metallic constituents (P, PPW) from predominantly metallic fine portions (S) and to be able to discharge this as harmless waste. The magnetic portion (HM) is mechanically scoured (8) and possibly washed (9), as a result of which a smeltable Ni-Fe mixture is obtained. The fine screen fraction (F) and the fine portions (S) arising in the processing of the coarse fraction (G) are dissolved (20) in dilute acid (HCl). After filtration (21) of the acid, at least metallic nickel and possibly cadmium or metal hydride are selectively extracted from the purified solution (22). The acid can be recycled after purification of scrap electrolyte (KOH). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A very simple and easy-to-use height adjustable apparatus for the shop sector, but also for the domestic sector, is achieved by a locking sleeve (2) which totally or partially surrounds an extending tube (4) which is displaceable relative to a fixed standing tube (5). In this arrangement, the upper and lower faces of the locking sleeve (2) are shaped in such a way that rotation about an axis (1) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the extending tube (4) is possible to such a degree that a wedge- or dome-shaped lug (3) on the inner side of the locking sleeve (2) can slide out of an opening (7) in the extending tube (4) and the locking sleeve (2) can then be displaced along the extending tube (4), the wedge- or dome-shaped lug (3) being integrally moulded on the lower inner side opposite the axis of rotation (1) or on the side of the axis of rotation (1) above the axis of rotation (1). When the extending tube (4) is lifted, the locking sleeve (2) rotates owing to its weight independently about the axis of rotation (1), and the wedge- or dome-shaped lug (3) slides out of the opening (7) in the extending tube (4). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Orbiting satellites (12) project footprints (30) on the earth. Each footprint (30) is divided into cells (28). Footprints (30) of nearby satellites (12) overlap one another, and the overlap increases as satellites (12) approach a pole from the equator. Positions of all cells (28) generated by all satellites (12) are simulated (36) at numerous points throughout an orbit. Channel sets are assigned to cells (28) within a reference footprint (30a). This assignment is propagated throughout all footprints (30) except for those footprints (30) residing adjacent one side of a seam (16) between orbits (14) where satellites (12) travel in opposing directions. The channel sets are assigned near the seam (16) in response to previously assigned channel sets. Each satellite (12) stores channel set assignments for its cells (28) at various points throughout its orbit. All satellites (12) switch their communication parameters simultaneously in response to the channel set assignments.

Abstract: A compliant hard fusing pressure roller (51) for reducing media (12) curl and wave in electrophotographic printers (10) as part of an improved fuser apparatus. The improved fuser consists of the standard components of a fuser, namely of a heated fuser roller (26) and one or more pressure rollers (51). The pressure roller (51) is constructed with a central rotation shaft (53) with a cylindrical deformable material (52) such as silicone rubber is formed around the central rotation shaft. However, a cylindrical hard outer shell (54) is formed around the deformable material (52). The compliant hard pressure roller exerts a tangential force toward the fuser roller (26). Because the outer hard shell (54) of the compliant hard pressure roller (51) is formed from a malleable type material, it provides some compliance and therefor deforms slightly from roundness for small, sharp errors in the fuser roller (26) or media (12). Larger errors such as out of roundness, or miss alignment between the compliant hard pressure roller (51) and the fuser roller (26), are absorbed by the cylindrical deformable material (52). Both the pressure (51) and heated fuser rollers (26) are rotated about their respective axis. The printed media (12) is compressed between the pressure roller (51) and the heated fuser roller (26) thereby fusing the image onto the printed media (12) while the media (12) is transported within the printer (10).
