Title: Case with reinforcement
Inventor: WOEHRSTEIN ROLF
IPC: A45C11/34
Filed: 1996-01-09
Granted: 1999-04-21
Abstract: The invention concerns a case made of cellulose (31) and designed in particular to hold glasses, writing or drawing instruments and/or other, essentially oblong, objects. The case consists of two halves (2, 3) of essentially the same size which can be joined together and which enclose a hollow space. The first half (3) has, at least round parts of the open end, a shoulder (4) which can be inserted into the hollow space in the second half (2) so that a frictionally locking joint is produced between the shoulder (4) on the first half (3) and the inside wall (11) of the second half (2). A case (1) of this kind is inexpensive, can be manufactured as an environmentally acceptable, dimensionally stable design and its handling and other outside surfaces are protected against wear in particular. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that each half (2, 3) has at least one reinforcement (12, 20) covering parts of the inside walls (11) and that at least some parts of the two halves (2, 3), in particular the ends and shoulder (4), are covered with a protective covering (30) and coated with a water-based coating (13).

Abstract: A data transmission method quickly and reliably transfers data (e.g., a computer file) from a source to recipients. While the frames are being transmitted, negative acknowledgments from recipients are received by the source. These acknowledgments indicate which frames require retransmission. After all frames have been transmitted out, a retransmission is performed by the source for only those frames which the acknowledgments indicate require retransmission. Additional retransmissions can occur. This multi-pass data transfer technique requires only negative acknowledgements to be sent by the recipients. Features include the ability to set the transmission rate and to define multicast groups. Also, it is possible to determine the capacity of links of unknown capacity using a "multicast network probe" feature of the invention, and to determine the frame error rates of known-capacity links by utilizing the same feature. A "multicast ping" feature of the invention can be used to determine the connectivity between a source and members of a multicast group. "Speed groups" can be set up after determining link capacities, or if they are already known, whereby the recipients connected to the source by the fastest links receive all of the data while slower-link recipients receive only a portion of the data, on the first pass. The number of recipients which can receive the data from the source can be greatly increased by using a "negative acknowledgement collection" scheme whereby "replication points" (preferably routers) collect individual negative acknowledgements and forward them as a unit to the next level. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A swimmer's hand paddle in the form of a rigid planar member has a mitten-shaped surface area, larger than the human hand and wider in the palm area than in the area of the middle finger, and has an irregularly-shaped aperture of a width approaching the width of the hand positioned at a location on the paddle so as to be covered by the most sensitive area of the palm when the hand is properly positioned on the paddle. From one end of a proximal curved wrist edge to a point beyond the end of the thumb, the thumb side edge closely approaches the outer edge of the thumb and then curves inwardly and merges with a sharply curved distal end, whereas the little finger side edge extends with flared curvature from the distal end to the other end of the curved wrist edge. The area of the little finger side of the paddle is larger than the thumb side area, and has a curved row of perforations which closely approaches the little finger side edge for reducing the resistance to water of the little finger side during the routine of a swimming stroke. The user's hand is attached to and positioned on the paddle by sections of rubber tubing pulled through sets of perforations, one set positioned near the wrist edge and another set positioned at the approximate location of the base of the user's fingers.

Abstract: A disposable bracket for holding and securing an object to the inside surface of a construction form for embedding the object and exposing its face surface in a settable material, such as concrete. The bracket has a plurality of perimeter members that corresponds to the outer edge configuration of the object. The perimeter members include an inwardly extending flange which supports the perimeter edge of the object. The bracket perimeter can be closed or open and can have cross reinforcing members, if desired. The cross-section of the perimeter members making up the bracket can include a curved convex outer surface extending upwardly and outwardly from the flange to a flat surface perpendicular to the flange. The perimeter member forms one half of a grout line mold formed in between adjacent objects embedded in the finished wall. The interior of the perimeter member can be hollow to allow flexure between the outer flat surface and the inner flange supporting the object. The object is secured to the bracket along the flange area by means of a suitable releasable adhesive or by mechanical retainers, such as a detente or an elastomeric band which holds the object in the bracket. The bracket can be formed from permanent materials for long term usage or from inexpensive frangible materials which can be broken and removed from the wall and form after a single use.

Abstract: The short circuit detection procedure for an integrated circuit with a chip and at least one coil (5) with several windings (6) consists of measuring the resistances at terminals in the first and second sections of the coil corresponding to two different numbers of windings, calculating the relationship between the measured resistances at the terminals and comparing it with a constant taken from a sample of resistance measurements in a coil of the same geometry. This enables the presence or absence of a short circuit to be determined between two or more windings of the coil, depending on whether the relationship is different from or the same as the constant. The coil is equipped with a series of contacts (10, 11, 12, 13, 12', 13') made in one piece with the coil windings to act as resistance sampling terminals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for selectively extending an oligonucleotide primer along a specific target polynucleotide sequence in a mixture of polynucleotides. Selective extension is achieved by controlling the concentration of the oligonucleotide primer by forming the oligonucleotide in situ by degrading the 3'-end of a modified oligonucleotide. The method comprises providing in combination the mixture of polynucleotides and the modified oligonucleotide having a 3'-end that is not extendable along any polynucleotide and extending the oligonucleotide primer selectively along the specific target polynucleotide sequence by controlling the degradation of the 3'-end of the modified oligonucleotide. In this way extension of the oligonucleotide primer along polynucleotides other than the specific target polynucleotide sequence is substantially reduced or avoided. In another aspect the invention is an improvement in a method for amplifying a target polynucleotide sequence. The method comprises combining the target polynucleotide sequence with reagents for amplifying the target polynucleotide sequence and subjecting the combination to conditions wherein the target polynucleotide sequence is amplified. The reagents comprise an oligonucleotide primer and a polymerase. The improvement comprises deriving the oligonucleotide primer from a modified oligonucleotide having a portion that hybridizes to the target polynucleotide sequence except for the 3'-end thereof, which has at least one nucleotide analog that is incapable of hybridizing to a polynucleotide. Kits for carrying out the above methods are also disclosed.
