Abstract: A palletising assembly receives pallets (2) as these advance on rollers (4) and are stacked one on top of the other, separated by layers of paper (1) to retain the pallets as a perpendicular stack. The individual layers (5, 6) are transferred from a sledge (8) to the pallet (2) by sweep-arms (7). The sledge (8) edge (9) presented to the pallet (2) has a recess (10) incorporating one or more articulated suction pads (11) which retract into the recess (10) and extend below the sledge (8) lower edge (12). A platform (13) carrying a load of paper (1, 17) is located beneath the sledge (8). The height-adjustable platform (13) moves up and down on guide-rods (14). The rods (14) are so arranged that they can sink between the roller (4) gaps. As the sledge (8) descends after the platform (13) has been loaded with paper, this moves into the vicinity of the suction pads (11). The sledge (8) can move horizontally to and from the platform (13).

Abstract: In a surface treatment apparatus for a support (10) of a lithographic plate, a graining brush (18) rubs the surface of the support (10) with abrasive slurry (24) to thereby form grains on the surface of the support (10). Angles (θ) of tips of bristles (18A) in the graining brush (18) greatly influence the quality and depth of the grains. Before a new graining brush (18) is used for the first time, the acute angles (θ) of the tips of the bristles (18A) in the new graining brush (18) are adjusted between about 20 DEG  and about 80 DEG . Thereby, it is possible to satisfactorily perform the surface treatment from the first time the new graining brush (18) is used. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A game machine (1) having a speaker (22) whose sound transmitting holes are not exposed to the front side of the game machine so that the speaker (22) is protected from a wire-shaped object, which could otherwise be inserted through the sound transmitting holes (9a), destroying the speaker (22). The speaker (22) is installed on the wall of a cancel shoot (21) near a pay-out hole (12) through which medals are paid out to the player, so that the speaker (22) will not be exposed to the pay-out hole (12). Specifically, the speaker (22) is installed at a position that is displaced from the immediate back of the pay-out hole (12). In addition, the sound transmitting unit of the speaker (22) is attached on the wall of the box-shaped cancel shoot (21) toward the interior of the cancel shoot (21). As a result, sound effects generated by the speaker (22) propagate through the interior space of the cancel shoot (21), and are transmitted outside of the game machine via the pay-out hole (12). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A roll of sheet material, such as plastic film wrap, having an inner layer wound at low tension and an outer layer wound under greater tension provides a coreless roll. Eliminating the need for a core reduces the cost of producing rolls of sheet material, and reduces the weight and outer dimensions of the roll with a consequent reduction in shipping and storage costs. An apparatus and method for producing such a roll, from a pre-wound master roll or as part of a production line for forming the sheet material, involves varying the longitudinal tension applied to sheet material as it is wound onto an expandable mandrel. After the roll has cured, the mandrel is collapsed and disengaged from the roll to provide a coreless roll. The mater roll can be prestretched prior to forming the coreless roll, if desired, and can be prestretched as a step in the formation of the coreless roll.

Abstract: A hydraulic control arrangement which has a directional control valve, a hydraulic pump and a two-way cartridge valve constructed as a seat valve. The directional control valve is connected to an inlet line and to a discharge line leading to a tank. Leading off from it is a load line leading to a hydraulic load. The hydraulic pump draws pressure medium from a tank and discharges it into the inlet line. The two-way cartridge valve is arranged in the inlet line and, in a closed position, isolates a second inlet line section leading off from the latter to the directional control valve from a first inlet line section running between the two-way valve and the hydraulic pump. A control piston of the two-way cartridge valve has an annular opening surface exposed to the pressure in the first inlet line section, a central circular opening surface exposed to the pressure in the second inlet line section, and a closing surface, which can be subjected to the pressure in the first inlet line section via a pilot valve in a first position of the latter and can be relieved from the pressure to the tank via the pilot valve in a second position of the latter. The two-way cartridge valve closes when an emergency off facility is triggered. To satisfy particularly high safety requirements, the invention makes provision for the second inlet line section to be relieved to the tank via the pilot valve in the first position of the latter.

Abstract: A method and a device are disclosed for the low-cost implementation even of high-performance encryption functions in an encryptor. The encryptor may be composed merely of PC software or the like, or of any other terminal/information system with integrated Vernam cipher which does not need to be supported by expensive crypto-hardware for the actual encryption process. The crypto-hardware is made either of a chipcard or a multifunctional PC interface adapter (e.g., PCMCIA module) with built-in special crypto-hardware. The encryptor, on the other hand, is a conventional personal computer, software or another terminal which, however, with the exception of the very simple Vernam cipher (e.g., EXOR), needs no further crypto-technology even for broad-band applications in software. The external crypto-modules contain all the complex crypto-functions which generate the Vernam key in reserve, the reserves being temporarily stored in an intermediate storage until they are gradually used up by the encryption process through logic operations of the method. The storage may be installed either in the PC or terminal, or also in the crypto-module. The encryptor always operates with the same Vernam cipher, even if the external crypto- or PCMCIA modules use different symmetrical and asymmetrical ciphers. External crypto-modules in the form of chipcards or PCMCIA modules are inexpensive to manufacture. All the complex crypto-functions are located outside of the encryptor. They are interchangeable by module and can be implemented in the proposed low-cost and somewhat lower-speed external crypto-modules.

Abstract: An electrochemical fuel cell stack with an improved compression assembly comprises a tension member which is electrically non-conductive and preferably non-metallic. The tension member can be made from a composite material which has similar expansion and contraction properties as the stack materials, thereby reducing undesirable fluctuations in the compressive force applied to the stack. An improved apparatus for securing the improved tension member to the rest of the compression assembly is also provided. Preferred embodiments of an improved compression assembly employ a collet and wedges to grip the tension member and compress a resilient member which imparts a tensile force to the tension member and a compressive force to the fuel cell assemblies. In other embodiments, an improved compression assembly employs a unitary resilient member and fastener in combination with a tension member. The improved apparatus is easier to assemble in high speed manufacturing processes because the compression assembly can be assembled or installed using the same machinery which is used to compress the stack in one fixturing because the compression assembly is assembled by being stacked in essentially the same direction as the other fuel cell components. An improved method of assembling a compression assembly for an electrochemical fuel cell stack is also provided.
