Abstract: A medication tablet dispenser has an upright casing providing a tower which is subdivided by horizontal partitions into eight compartments which individually contain removable holders each containing a charge of tablets to be dispensed. The holders have framing portions which together provide a funnel opening downwardly into a cavity of a blister sheet. The casing is vibrated back and forth about its vertical axis through a small angle to cause tablets in the holders to progress towards an outlet leading into the funnel and having an associated ejector which discharges selected tablets into the funnel when required by a computer program. Conical vibration of the casing is prevented by a connection located on its vertical axis and held stationary by a fixed arm. The ejectors operate in response to slide-rods individually reciprocated by associated solenoids controlled by the computer program.

Abstract: The invention relates to an encoding method, which uses statistical characteristics of all types of network protocols without requiring specific knowledge of the definitions of individual protocol fields. Network protocols in general contain long contiguous sections, which remain unchanged. Said sections are therefore predicted from the preceding header and do not need to be transmitted. The position of the modified and unmodified fields is also predicted, so that in most cases, transmission of the position co-ordinates is not necessary. Said principle, together with a corresponding differential encoding, achieves a high data compression, as only the modified data and a small amount of overhead need to be transmitted.

Abstract: An encryption-free technique for enabling the self-authentication of value documents (including personal and commercial checks) presented at a point of purchase or financial institution. Certain data contained on the value document may be signed with a first digital signature and authenticated with a public key certificate issued from a trusted certificate authority. The signed data and public key certificate are stored on the value document, preferably in a two-dimensional bar code data format. In the case of certain personal value documents (such as checks, credit cards, passports, birth certificates, Social Security cards, etc.), a unique personal identification number (PIN) also may be included in the document data that is signed by a second digital signature. At a point of purchase, a merchant or teller can scan and read the data stored in the two-dimensional bar code and other magnetically recorded information, and together with the PIN the customer provides, can authenticate the value document thus presented using the second digital signature. Alternatively, if the customer is not present, if the personal value document contains the second digital signature, the document may be verified using a PIN-generating algorithm or other method that generates all permutations of PINs. The first digital signature alone may be used to authenticate selected data within the personal value document even when the PIN is not available. Similarly, in the case of a commercial value documents, authentication of pre-printed data may be based entirely upon only the first digital signature.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing containers for growing plants, comprising an initial step of reducing plastics and fired clay to granules and a final step of releasing the containers from molds. The method includes, in order of sequence, the intermediate steps of preparing a mixture of the granules, introducing the mixture into the molds, heating the mixture until the melting temperature of the material is approximately reached, holding the mixture at that temperature, and cooling the mixture. A container produced with the method includes uniformly distributed fired clay granules and reticular formations of plastics that mutually bind the granules. The invention overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art, by providing containers that combine the best characteristics of earthenware and plastic containers, respectively.

Abstract: A support surface 10 includes a series of inflatable cells 30, 40 inflated alternately by a compressor 11. The cells 30, 40 are exhausted via an exhaust port 50 having a restrictor 60 of known diameter. A pressure transducer 70 measures the cell 30, 40 pressure. Some of the cells 30, 40 during their deflating/inflating cycle are exhausted through the exhaust port 50 and the cell pressure decay over a time is monitored. A microprocessor calculates the mathematical function related to the cell pressure decay with time, compares the value with compiled data and adjusts the output of the compressor accordingly. The sequence of exhausting via a port 50 is repeated at every inflation/deflation cycle and the pressure decay monitored and compared with the known data and the compressor output adjusted automatically to provide a new operating pressure. Therefore, any change in the person's position, e.g., supine, to side or sitting are accommodated by the cell pressure automatically being adjusted to prevent bottoming or high interface pressures.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the removal of mercury from a gas stream. The method is characterized in that at a temperature above 170° C. the gas stream is contacted with a sorbent that as the active component is comprised of a mixture of substantially silica-alumina compounds and/or calcium compounds. According to a preference, the sorbent is kaolin, that may or may not be in the dehydrated form of meta-kaolin and is optionally obtained by thermal conversion of a material chosen from paper waste or residue from the paper industry. By this method it is possible to remove mercury at temperatures higher than room temperature. The invention also relates to a method for the removal of mercury from a gas stream, wherein the gas stream is contacted with a sorbent at a temperature above 50° C., which sorbent comprises as active substance a mixture of substantially silica-alumina compounds and/or calcium compounds, as well as with an oxidator. The invention also relates to a mercury-comprising sorbent obtained by this method and products manufactured therewith.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for compressing a log record information provided e.g. to a monitoring system. Frequent patterns in the log information are detected and, then, redundant frequent patterns whose value or record combination is a subset of a value or record combination of another one of said detected frequent patterns are removed. Accordingly, a general method is provided which can be applied to all event logs arising from communication networks or other monitoring systems. The detection of frequent patterns is only based on value or record combinations and is thus independent of the specific application. On the other hand, the size of the stored log files can be decreased remarkably while remaining readable for human beings.

Abstract: A waveguide feed structure having a coaxial transmission line. A conductive, planar septum is disposed in, and along a diameter of, the transmission line. A feed port is electrically coupled to the transmission line. The septum has a rear portion disposed proximate the feed port, such rear portion of the septum extending between the inner conductor and the outer conductor. The feed port and the rear portion of the septum are arranged to establish an electric field in the transmission line between the inner conductor and the outer conductor with a component substantially TE11 mode along a direction perpendicular to the planar septum. A forward portion of the septum is asymmetrically disposed with respect to said diameter in order to provide a gap between the inner conductor and the outer conductor, such gap establishing an electric field component within the transmission line having a TE11 component along said diameter of the transmission line parallel to the plane of the septum. The septum has a pair of distal ends. One of the ends is separated from a proximate portion of the outer conductor and has a distance different from the separation between the other one of the pair of ends and a proximate portion of the outer conductor. In one embodiment, the first-mentioned distance increases along the transmission line from the rear portion of the septum to the forward portion of the septum. The distance is increased in steps to provide a 90 degree phase shift to energy propagating along the transmission line between a distal end of the septum and the outer conductor.
