These cut end portions are pushed inward of the side edge portions, and then, the leg portions and inverted portions thereof are fused to the fastener tapes by heating.      As a result, a form of each end of the fastener elements is stabilized, so that the resultant slide fastener is good in safety.

Abstract: A multiple-slide die-casting machine is equipped with improved mechanical structure and unique injection control system to improve the quality of molded products, to achieve flash free castings of improved surface finish. The clamping assemblies are mounted on one side of a base plate of the machine for applying clamping force to the mold sections in a preloaded state. A reinforcement ring interconnects the clamping assemblies to inhibit deflection of the base plate and the brackets which support the clamping assemblies so that an accurate parting line between the contacting surfaces of mold sections is insured. The unique injection control system of the machine provides selectively closed loop and open loop injection to achieve the advantage of a closed loop control injection which provides for optimal parameters for an injection cycle to eliminate hammer effect, and the advantage of open loop which is suitable for die-casting small products requiring an injection stroke too short to be reacted on in closed loop control.

Abstract: The invention relates to an injection device that is used with a syringe, wherein the injection needle of the syringe is initially introduced into the skin and the injection fluid is injected afterwards. The injection device is essentially driven and controlled by a control sleeve (6) which can be displaced and/or rotated in relation to the housing (7) and which can be moved between a closing and functional position (P1) and an open and safety position (P2). In the closing and functional position, the control sleeve prevents access to the syringe and activates a release device for the injection process. In the open and safety position, a syringe (1) can be removed or inserted. A plurality of components carrying out the injection process (a slide (2) in which the syringe(1) is placed and a plunger (4) that impinges upon the syringe piston) are moved or controlled depending on the movement and position of the control sleeve or supported (for example, an ejection device for the syringe or a signaling device informing that injection has been completed). The inventi ve device enables full-automatic injection that can be reliably carried out by patients themselves with few handling procedures.

Title: Method, system and apparatus using a sensory cue to indicate subsequent action characteristics for data communications
Inventor: LINCKE SCOTT D
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 1999-10-26
Granted: 2011-02-08
Abstract: A communications device provides a user with a sensory cue that informs the user of cer-tain characteristics of a subsequent action that in-cludes data communications. By informing the user of the data communication characteristics before the user initiates the data communication action, the in-vention appropriately sets user expectations regard-ing the data communication characteristics. For ex-ample, one embodiment of the invention is imple-mented in a portable communications device (100) with a screen (1700). For subsequent actions that in-cludes wireless communications, the portable com-munications device simultaneously displays a wire-less link sensory icon (1610) next to a user interface element. The user interface (1710) icon is used to initiate the subsequent action. The user interface el-ement (1710) can be an operating system object hav-ing an embedded link type icon. The wireless link icon (1610) informs the user that the subsequent ac-tion corresponding to the user interface element re-quires wireless communication and the expense and time associated therewith. A method, a system and an apparatus for indicating characteristics of a sub-sequent action to a user before the user begins the subsequent action are provided.

Granted: 2008-06-03
Abstract: A sensor system (10) for locating transmitters incorporates three vehicle-mounted patch antennas (30 to 34), a signal processing unit (40), a navigation unit (50) and a computer (60). The navigation unit (50) measures sensor system position using the Global Positioning System. The antennas (30 to 34) receive radiation from a transmitter (210) to be located and respond by generating output signals which are frequency downconverted and processing coherently by a digital signal processing unit (230). This produces elevation and azimuth phase data for the computer (60), which determines measured phase differences. The computer (60) also calculates expected phase differences from antenna positions and trial transmitter positions. It determines transmitter location from correlation between measured and expected phase differences. The position of a transmitter (210) is determined for a number of sensor system positions.
