Abstract: Apparatus (10) for agitating a cleaning agent into a carpet comprises a housing (16) within which a first and a second roller (76f, 76r) are each mounted for rotation in a first angular direction. A platen (112) is mounted intermediate the rollers (76f, 76r). A belt agitator (134) comprising a fabric substrate (134f) having a pile surface (134p) is trained about the first and second rollers (76f, 76r) and extends under the platen (112). The rollers (76f,76r) and the platen (112) support rectilinear movement of the belt agitator (134) in the first direction (138) to bring a portion (140s) of its surface sequentially from a first position (140a) within the housing (16) to a contacting position (140b) in which the portion of the surface is in agitating contact with a carpet and, thereafter, to a second position (140c) within the housing (16).

Abstract: The invention pertains to a process for immobilising toxic metals in industrial residues, such as fly ash, bottom ash and filter cake, wherein the residues are contacted with a phosphate and a cement. The cement is added to the solid residues in such an amount that a granular product is obtained. It is preferred that the industrial residues are simultaneously contacted with a phosphate, which has a solubility in water in the range from 0.01 to 5.0 g/100ml. The treated material can be used as an aggregate or can be compressed into a compacted building material.

Abstract: An optical network, which may be an all-optical network, including passive wavelength routers is described. Methods for implementing such networks as well as different router configurations which may be used in optical networks are also disclosed. The routing functionality in the all-optical network can be done in the optical domain without switching elements at the nodes. This is achieved by routers which are passive and preferably operative to route wavelength bands. A mesh can be used as the network configuration. The optical networks described can be used to facilitate the transmission of higher network protocols, such as internet protocol (IP) packets or ATM-cells, purely in the optical domain.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un moteur à injection directe de carburant qui est pourvu d'une conduite d'alimentation en air de dérivation. Ladite conduite de dérivation est sélectivement ouverte, afin de permettre l'arrivée d'un flux supplémentaire d'air dans la chambre du moteur pendant une phase de transition. Normalement, l'air s'écoule dans une conduite principale d'alimentation en air à travers un plénum. Cependant, lors d'une transition entre une phase d'injection précoce d'un faible volume d'air et une phase d'injection tardive d'un volume d'air relativement grand, la soupape est ouverte, afin de fournir un flux supplémentaire dans la conduite de dérivation. Ainsi, l'air peut être délivré plus rapidement à la chambre du moteur.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selectably controlling and customizing source access to a network, where the source is associated with a source computer, and wherein the source computer has transparent access to the network via a gateway device and no configuration software need be installed on the source computer to access the network. A user may be prevented access from a particular destination or site based upon the user's authorization while being permitted to access to other sites that the method and system deems accessible. The method and system can identify a source without that source's knowledge, and can access customizable access rights corresponding to that source in a source profile database. The source profile database can be a remote authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS) or a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) database. The method and system use source profiles within the source profile database to dynamically authorize source access to networks and destinations via networks.

Abstract: A one-piece, unitary clamp for a longitudinally extending structural member, such as a tube, is provided which can be mounted to a mounting surface such that the structural member received in the clamp is either parallel to or perpendicular to the mounting surface. Additionally, two clamps of the present invention can be fastened together to form a cross-over clamp, a T-clamp, or another compound clamp which will hold two structural members together in a desired relationship. The clamping arms of the clamp have an elastic hinge which allows an upper portion of the clamping arm to move relative to a lower portion of the clamping arm when the clamp is tightened. Additionally, when the clamp is loosened, the elastic hinge of the clamping arms cause the clamping arms to pull away from the structural member received in the clamp to fully release the grip of the clamp on the structural member.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de calcul de route dans un appareil de navigation de véhicule, selon lequel on calcule une route entre un point de départ ou un point actuel et une destination. En cas de défaillance du véhicule ou de défaillance affectant le conducteur du véhicule, on calcule la route non pas jusqu'au lieu de destination mais jusqu'à une destination de substitution qui dispose, de préférence, d'un équipement nécessaire pour supprimer la défaillance. L'invention concerne également un procédé permettant de conduire à destination le conducteur d'un véhicule entre un point de départ et au moins une destination, une route étant déterminée entre le point de départ ou un point actuel et au moins une destination. En fonction d'un lieu actuel, on produit des instructions de conduite. Selon ce procédé, en cas de défaillance du véhicule ou de défaillance affectant le conducteur, on calcule la route jusqu'à une destination de substitution qui, de préférence, dispose d'un équipement nécessaire à la suppression de la défaillance. Les procédés selon l'invention épargnent au conducteur, d'une part, la recherche de destinations de substitution appropriées dans une carte routière à entraîner séparément et, d'autre part, l'entrée supplémentaire d'une destination de substitution déterminée comme nouvelle destination d'une conduite à destination jusqu'à la destination supplémentaire.
