Abstract: A lawn mower comprising a deck (2) mounted on at least two wheel assemblies (4), the deck (2) being mounted on each wheel assembly (4) via a height adjustment mechanism; an interconnecting bar (38) which connects between at least two of the height adjustment assemblies though which movement of one height adjustment mechanism is transferred to the other height adjustment mechanism so that the two height adjustment mechanisms operate in unison; a rack mounted on the interconnecting bar; and a locking mechanism which is capable of co-operating with the rack to hold interconnecting bar stationary relative to the deck, wherein the locking mechanism comprises a pinion (104) rotatably mounted on the deck (2) which meshes with the rack (100) and which is capable of being releasably locked in a plurality of angular positions. The pinion (104) is capable of axially sliding between a first position where it is prevented from rotation movement and a second position where it is capable of freely rotating whilst remaining meshed with the rack (100). The pinion (104) is biased towards the first position and may be moved by a cam mechanism.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: Method for manufacturing a double-walled heat exchange tube with leak detection, wherein inner tube is slipped into an outer tube, after a surface profiling has been provided on at least the outer surface of the inner tube or the inner surface of the outer tube, and at least the outer surface of the inner tube or the inner surface of the outer tube has been provided with a layer of soldering material. After the tubes have been slipped into one another, the inner tube is expanded such that the outer tube is expanded as well and the surface profiling forms a leak detection channel between the two tubes, and the soldering material between inner and outer tube is caused to melt. In a heat exchange tube thus obtained at the location of the contact between the inner and outer tube, a film-thin, optionally porous layer from soldering material is present, which layer is bonded, through melting, to both the inner tube and the outer tube.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method whereby the membranes (2) are washed with detergents, or adsorbable chemical or biochemical products on activated carbon. The final rinsing for eliminating the detergents is carried out by passing water through the membrane (2) until the residual concentration of detergents is brought below the maximum permissible concentration in water for human consumption. The improvements are characterised in that the method consists in: drawing, for specific treatment external to the system, one first part of rinsing water of the order of 10 to 20 % of the total volume of water required for final rinsing; introducing the powdered activated carbon in the equipment recycling loop; recycling the volume contained in said recycling loop with added powdered activated carbon through the membrane (2), while the permeate is returned into the chamber (4) wherein the washing or rinsing water is stored and from which said recycling is carried out; said recycling being performed until the powdered activated carbon reaches adsorption equilibrium.

Abstract: Transmission of messages composed on one or more input devices to a single or multiple recipients by means of one or plural communication modes is facilitated. Such communication modes may include conventional or wireless telephone, facsimile transmission, pager, e-mail, postal mail or courier. Thus, a message may be directed to a single recipient via multiple modes, such as e-mail and fax, in order to ensure the earliest possible receipt of the message; or may be directed to multiple recipients by a single mode or by different modes. In the case of multiple-mode delivery, "escalation" rules may specify conditions under which different delivery modes may be sequentially employed. Automatic follow-up to determine whether a message has been received, as well as automatic sender notification upon confirmation of receipt, may be employed. The system is capable of sending messages having embedded questions, and facilitating multi-question surveys.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving searching in a remote unit of a slotted mode, wireless, communication system. In a slotted mode communication system, the remote unit enters an "active state" during its assigned slot. While in the active state, a controller in the remote unit passes selected sets of search parameters to a search engine. The order that the searches are performed is based on the measured signal strength and the age of the measurement. The search engine performs searches using the selected sets of search parameters. Searching continues as long as the remote unit is in the active state. When the remote unit enters the inactive state, searching ceases. While in the inactive state, the controller evaluates the results of the searches performed during the previous active state. During the next active state, the next sequence of searching is performed based on measured signal strength and the measurement age corresponding to the measurements made during the previous active state.

Abstract: A method of infusing a dye into the surface of an article formed of a plastic material comprises contacting the surface with a solution including one or more solvents each aggressive to the plastic material, one or more dyes and one or more substances each capable of plasticizing the plastic material. If the plastic material is polycarbonate, then the aggressive solvent may be one or more chlorinated hydrocarbons. The dye may be a photochromic dye, a cosmetic tinting dye, dyes for absorbing infrared, laser and ultraviolet radiation, or combinations thereof. A wide range of plasticizers has been investigated. The article is contacted by the solution for ten seconds to one minute; and nearly all the infused solvent is then evaporated from the article by heating. The use of one or more plasticizers reduces or eliminates bubbling or hazing of the contacted surface during solvent evaporation. The dyed article comprises a surface layer having a depth of the order of magnitude of 100 microns containing one or more dyes, one or more plasticizers and, likely, a trace amount of the one or more aggressive solvents.
