Abstract: The invention relates to a device for embossing and/or glazing films. The device for embossing includes a first and second embossing roll, through which flat material can be fed under pressure, in order to create a pattern. An additional embossing roll is connected downstream of the second embossing roll, this additional embossing roll interacting with the first or preceding embossing roll. The patterned flat material may be fed between these embossing rolls, in order to be embossed again with essentially the same pattern. In a simplified embodiment, only a total of two rolls are used. In order to achieve as precise an embossing as possible, with special effects, the first driven embossing roll is provided with teeth, while at least one other embossing roll comprises rings or longitudinal ribs, or is smooth.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to produce a textile surface (1), one side of which exhibits hydrophilic properties and the other side hydrophobic properties, whose overall cross-section is hydrophilic. To achieve this, a paste (11) consisting of a viscous emulsion or dispersion of paraffin, polysiloxane and/or fluorine compounds is applied to one side. The layer that has been formed by the first paste (11) is then stabilized by means of a drying process (4) and a second paste (12), consisting of a hydrophilic polymer is subsequently applied to the other side of the textile surface (1), said paste being stabilized by an additional drying process (5). Said steps provide a textile surface (1), which can be produced simply and cost-effectively, is extremely comfortable to wear and which ensures that moisture is immediately absorbed on the hydrophilic side, dispersed over a large area and rapidly removed, whereas the hydrophobic side of said textile surface (1) repels water.

Abstract: An adaptive halftoning method where the difference between a digital image and a filtered digital image is introduced into the system on a pixel by pixel basis is disclosed. In this method, each input difference pixel has a corresponding error value of the previous pixel added to the input value at a summing node, resulting in modified image difference data; the modified image difference data is passed to a threshold comparator where the modified image difference data is compared to a threshold value, the threshold value varying according to the properties of the digital image, to determine the appropriate output level; the output level is subtracted from the modified image difference value to produce the input to an error filter; the output of the error filter is multiplied by an adaptation coefficient, where the adaptation coefficient varies according to the properties of the digital image, to generate the error level for the subsequent input pixel; and, the cyclical processing of pixels is continued until the end of the input data is reached.

Abstract: A transport vehicle 1 for transporting chickens has a compartment 3 and a cab 15 which is situated in front of and at a distance d from the compartment. There are ventilating fans 17 in the compartment's front wall 5 which blow air from inside the compartment to the outside. By extracting air from the compartment 3 at the front instead of blowing air into the compartment at the front, better ventilation is obtained. In the compartment's rear wall 7 are air vents 19 for taking in fresh air. There is a sponge 23 made of plastic wire in front of the air vents 19 for creating resistance to the air flowing in. Because of this, an underpressure is created in the compartment 3 near the air vents 19, assuring that air will flow in through all air vents 19 and that the situation will be averted in which air will flow in only at one place, that where the least resistance is offered.

Abstract: A surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor includes a transducer ( 240 provided on a substrate ( 23 ), wherein the transducer ( 24 ) is oriented on the substrate ( 23 ) so that the direction of acoustic wave propagation is such that the variation of sensor output with temperature, associated with the variation of the substrate third-elastic constants with temperature, substantially equal but opposite to the sum total of the variation of sensor output with temperature associated with the substrate linear temperature coefficient of expansion and with the variations with temperature of the substrate non-zero third order elastic constants, the substrate first-order elastic constants and the substrate density. The effect of temperature variation on sensor output is thereby minimized. This is achieved with a 35-degree arrangement or with reflective gratings inclined at an angle of 3.1 degrees to normal.

Abstract: A technique to simplify L2CAP channel creation/configuration for a node is presented. The method enables a node to determine how involved it is in the L2CAP channel connection creation and management process. There are three levels of participation that the node may specify. The three levels are no involvement at all, minimal involvement, and total involvement. In no involvement, the channel is dropped if a remote node does not accept all node specified parameters. In minimal involvement, the channel is dropped if a remote node does not accept all node specified parameters and the node is notified when the connection has been disconnected by a remote disconnect or HCI link loss. In the total involvement level, the node is fully involved in the channel creation/configuration. The node provides a function pointer that is called to confirm or reject parameters. If a parameter is unacceptable, the connection is disconnected.
