Title: Pneumatic labeling cylinder with restrictor
Inventor: DIPPE RALF
IPC: B65C9/36
Filed: 2000-07-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for affixing adhesive labels to goods packages, with a cylinder. Inside the cylinder, a piston is moved in that by way of connections in the cylinder, air with negative or positive pressure is made to impinge upon the top and bottom of the piston. On one side, the cylinder is closed off by a pneumatic damping unit. The movement of the piston is transferred to a stamp which is used for affixing adhesive labels to the goods packages.      It is the object of the present invention to improve the dynamic characteristics of a device of this type.      According to the invention, this object is met in that the first connection is located in such a position on the cylinder, that it can be closed off by the wall of the piston such that the build-up of negative pressure above the piston is stopped shortly before reaching the state of the first dead centre position and while in it.

Title: Safety arrangement in a package turning device
Inventor: LINDSTROM GERT
IPC: B65G47/90
Filed: 2000-12-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a safety arrangement in a package turning device. The package turning device is of the type which turns selected packages (1) which are conveyed on a conveyor path (2) through the package turning device. The package turning device essentially comprises a piston and cylinder assembly (3) whose piston rod (6) is disposed to move parallel with the conveyor path (2), a turning member (4) and a gripping member (5). The safety arrangement includes an anchorage (7) disposed on the piston rod (6) of the piston and cylinder assembly (3), and a bracket (8).  The bracket (8) is disposed to support the turning member (4) and the gripping member (5). The anchorage (7) and the bracket (8) are united in spring-biased fashion and enclose between them a cavity (10). An incoming air conduit (13) and an outgoing air conduit (14) are connected to the cavity (10). A pressure guard is disposed on the outgoing air conduit (14). The cavity (10) is closed in the normal operation of the package turning device. When the gripping member (5) is subjected to a force A, a gap (18) occurs between the anchorage (7) and the bracket (8) and the pressure in the cavity (10) becomes zero. The pressure guard on the outgoing air conduit (14) emits a signal to the control system of the package turning device and the movement of the piston rod (6) is arrested immediately.

Title: Method and apparatus for a selective acknowledgement scheme
Inventor: PARANTAINEN JANNE
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2001-01-11
Abstract: A modified unacknowledge mode of a telecommunications system interface is defined by providing for a special signaling indication by way of a selected  packet, signaling sequence, message, or the like, from a transmitting side t o a receiving side that a given message, packet, cell, signaling sequence, or the like is to be treated specially, despite the unacknowledge mode being used, by acknowledging receipt thereof at the receiving side back to the transmitting side. In this way, certain important messages can be acknowledged, while less important messages can be sent without acknowledgement. This reduces the need for wasteful use of capacity for applications in which some of the messages are more important than others to  be received correctly.

Title: Design, function, and utilisation of an equipment for capturing of three-dimensional images
Inventor: WREDMARK TORSTEN
IPC: G02B23/24
Filed: 2000-02-11
Abstract: The invention considers construction and usage of three-dimensional image capture equipment. The invention is based on capturing of two images different perspective with a predefined displacement, which is dependent on a number of parameters. The construction is based on the lens located in a displaceable cradle/sledge. On each side of the cradle/sledge there is a so-called system of cushions. These systems of cushions can influence the displacement of the lens through filling and emptying of liquid/gas/any other substance. The captured object is captured by a camera, for example a CCD camera which in turn transmits the image as a video signal to a computer. The computer fuses the two images through image processing to one 3D image. The 3D image can later be seen by the help of HMDs (Head Mounted Displays), on a monitor or through 3D glasses. The invention can with benefit be used in applications where the size or diameter of the instrument is decisive for the result, for example in the medical field, endoscopy, i.e. arthroscopy, laparoscopy, cystoscopy aso. Additionally it is important for the surgeon to get a spatial perception of the field of the operation. It will then become easier to estimate distances, sizes etc.

Abstract: The invention comprises a kit for assembling a loose-leaf photograph album or scrapbook (10). The preferred loose-leaf photograph album or scrapbook (10) includes a pair of covers (12, 14) enfolding a plurality of pages (16). The covers (12, 14) and the pages (16) are laced together by means of at least one, and most preferably two or more, flexible straps (18, 20), which pass through hinge elements (22, 24) projecting from the pages (16) and through slots (26) in the covers (12, 14). Most preferably, the straps (18, 20) are retained by means of frictional engagement with covers holders (34, 36), which are positioned on opposite sides between the outer pages and the covers (12, 14). The preferred straps (18, 20) comprise a polymer material substantially free of halogen, preferably a material comprising low density polyethylene.
