Abstract: A fiber optic groundwire or static cable for use between spaced-apart support towers of an electrical power transmission network, for ground fault protection from lightning strikes and other electrical faults, with an integral fiber optic telecommunications bundle. A bundle of optical fibers tightly enclosed by a pliable thermally insulating strain jacket is firmly affixed into a helically-wound channel within an electrically conductive core. At least one layer of stranded electrical conductors serving as strength members completely surrounds the core. The tight jacketing of the optical fibers by a pliable strain jacket, combined with the firm mounting of the strain jacket within the helical channel of the core, reduces the axial tensional forces on the optical fibers that occur during and after installation of the cable. Also, the cable provides improved fault current carrying capability by utilizing a strain jacket made from a high temperature and thermally insulating silicone-based or ethylene propylene-based material. In another embodiment, the wire includes at least one fiber optic subunit firmly affixed into a helically-wound channel within an electrically conductive core of the cable. The fiber optic subunit comprises a plurality of optical fibers wound about a fiberglass central strength member having an overcoating layer of a pliable semicompressible material, and tightly enclosed by a pliable thermally insulating strain jacket. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to furnishings, and specifically to office furniture. In particular, a method for assembling modular furniture is provided which essentially comprises mainly using hollow metal tubes which are open at both ends and have permanently inserted therein an outwardly-ribbed screw socket which is also open at both ends and interacts with a flat head screw whose screw thread is engageable with the screw-threaded portion of a centrally-threaded cylindrical connecting element comprising other screw-threaded openings around its circumference to which are permanently fixed other metal tubes that are fastened on by a flat head screw of which the threaded portion passes through a spherical tip having an egg-shaped end surface which gaplessly abuts the surface of the connecting element. The invention further relates to office furniture, particularly desks, shelves, book-cases, and storage and filing cabinets, which are produced according to said modular element assembly method.

Abstract: Il s'agit d'améliorer le confort à l'utilisation du dispositif de freinage (1). Le dispositif de freinage (1) possède un système de soupapes (19) commandant des phases de montée, de maintien et de baisse de la pression dans un frein de roue (p. ex. 8) pour la modulation de la pression de freinage. Le système de soupapes (19) présente un point d'étranglement (22), lequel est actif dans la phase pour la montée en pression. Le point d'étranglement (22) est contourné par un bypass (27) dans lequel se trouve une soupape d'arrêt (28). La soupape d'arrêt (28) prend dans des phases de montée de pression, lors d'un fonctionnement en mode antiblocage et/ou antipatinage à l'accélération, sa position de blocage (28b). En raison de l'action du point d'étranglement (22) dans des phases de montée de pression, la vitesse de montée en pression et par conséquent l'émission de bruit dans le dispositif de freinage diminuent. Ce dispositif de freinage (1) est applicable en particulier pour les véhicules automobiles.

Abstract: A memory management system for a computer system controls multiple resources (80, 82, 84, 86, 88) which may be used to transfer data values between a central processing unit (56, 58), a cache memory (2) and a main memory (60). The central processing unit and the main memory generate requests for these resources which are prioritized with internal pending requests (70, 72, 74) held by the memory management system. The memory management system allocates the resources among the pending requests so that multiple requests can be processed concurrently. The cache memory (2) is organized in multiple partitions which may be written to concurrently and read from concurrently. The memory management system allocates the reading and writing of each partition of the cache memory as a separate resource.

Abstract: In order to increase decoding safety of the address frame of a teletext page during the reception of teletext data, in particular of a page containing higher level supplementary data, without having to apply additional error control steps, the address frame for a teletext row is forecast from the decoded and if required corrected address frame of the preceding teletext row. The forecast address frame is compared with the actually received address frame of the succeeding teletext row. If a deviation at two or more information units of a byte are detected during the comparison and if required during decoding of the received address frame, the forecast address frame is used instead of the received address frame for addressing the data stream of the concerned teletext row.

Abstract: A multi-level film fill industrial size water cooling tower is disclosed having upper and lower film fill packs arranged one above the other, and wherein a self-balancing hot water distribution system is provided for directing flows of hot water from the main supply line to respective distributors which are proportional to flow of hot water in the main supply line. Laterally extending distribution pipes connected to the main supply line in overlying relationship to the film fill packs have restrictor nozzles thereon all located in a common horizontal plane, so that the flow of hot water from all of the nozzles remains proportional to the flow in the main supply line. Each of the restrictor nozzles is vented to the surrounding atmosphere to prevent creation of significant negative pressure on the hot water flowing from each nozzle.
