Patent EP-0447341-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WILLIAMS MARVIN L
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 1991-02-05
Abstract: A method for controlling document distribution in a data processing system. A distribution profile object is created and associated with each document for which control of distribution is desired. Within each distribution profile object are listed the addressees for which a document is intended in the order in which those specified addressees will receive the document. In one embodiment of the present invention, the distribution profile object also includes a specified action with regard to the document in question which shall be accomplished upon the completion of the specified distribution sequence. Additionally, the distribution profile object may include instructions on how to resolve deadlock situations in which the specified distribution sequence may not be accomplished. In this manner the method of the present invention permits a user to specify the order in which supervisory personnel or others must authorize a document for a selected action and a mechanism for determining whether or not the selected sequence has been followed.

Abstract: The present invention consists in a process for obtaining polymers with antiviral activity which is characterised in that in water or in mixtures of water with water-miscible solvents, ruder specific conditions of temperature, time, and pH, molecules carrying carbonyl groups and hydroxyl groups in α position relative to the carbonyl, such as monosaccharides, react with molecules carrying amino and sulfonated groups, such as aliphatic amino-sulfonates; in that after the reaction ends, the polymeric material is purified by conventional processes, such that its molecular weight is within the range from 1,500 to 100,000; in that this polymeric material has antiviral activity and either lacks or presents very low toxicity and anticoagulant activity, and is thus suitable for production of pharmaceutical preparations suitable for use in topical or systemic antiviral therapy in humans or in animals. It is applicable in the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract: The invention relates to a picture frame made of frame-forming strips which each consist of a profiled support bar and a decorative strip fitted thereon. According to the invention, the decorative strips belong to a set of construction elements with decorative strips of different cross-sections, to which the same profiled support bars are assigned. The profiled support bars have a flat contact surface for the associated decorative strip and are of wider design than the decorative strips. The frame-forming strips are joined to one another in the vicinity of the frame corners by corner-connecting components, the corner-connecting components being attached only to the profiled support bars. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a vinyl chloride polymer by polymerisation in aqueous emulsion, in which from 0.01 to 2 % by weight, based on the monomers employed, of at least one water-soluble silicic acid and/or at least one water-soluble salt of a silicic acid are added to the polymerisation batch in the time from before commencement of the polymerisation until before commencement of the drying. After drying, the polymer is obtained, possibly in a mixture with a further extender polymer prepared by suspension polymerisation and in a mixture with plasticisers, blowing agents and further additives, solid polymer foams which have a uniform cell structure, even in the case of relatively high moisture contents of the polymer, and can be prepared at an increased expansion rate.

Abstract: A carriage on which an ink tank is mounted is moved acceleratively (in steps S101 to S103). Next, under this accelerative movement, a period of time spent in moving in a designated distance for the carriage is measured (in step S104) Finally, the amount of ink fluids in the ink tank is detected by the measured period of time and a message related to the amount of ink fluids is displayed (in steps S105 to S111). With these procedures, in an ink jet recording apparatus in which the ink tank for storing ink fluids to be supplied to the recording head is mounted on the carriage, the amount of ink fluids remaining in the ink tank can be detected in a simple architecture.

Abstract: Disclosed is a conversion apparatus that converts and adapts standard processor bus protocol and architecture, such as the MicroChannel (IBM Trade mark) bus, to more progressive switch interconnection protocol and architecture. The ivention extends existing the bus-based architecture to perform parallel and clustering functions by enabling the interconnection of thousands of processors. A conversion apparatus is disclosed for controlling the transfer of data messages from one nodal element across a switch network to another nodal element by using direct memory access capabilities controlled by intelligent bus masters. This approach does not require interactive support from teh processor at either nodal element during the message transmision, and frees up both processors to perform other tasks. In addition, the communication media is switch-based and is fully parallel, supporting n transmissions simultaneously, where n is the number of nodes interconnected by the switching network.

Abstract: A modular plug (23) for terminating cordage includes a housing (41) having a free end (46) and a cordage-input end. An end portion of a length of cordage (21) to be terminated by the plug is inserted into the cordage-input end of the housing to cause exposed individually insulated conductors extending beyond a jacketed portion of the cordage to be received in a conductor-holding portion of the housing. Blade-like terminals (42-42) inserted into slots opening to an exterior surface of the housing engage electrically the conductors. An anchoring member (61) is caused to be moved to an operative position whereat a primary jacket anchoring surface (74) of the anchoring member becomes disposed in compressive engagement with a jacket of the cordage. The geometry of the anchoring member is such that the primary anchoring surface in an unoperated position is angled to a longitudinal axis of the end portion of the length of cordage. Also, the jacket anchoring surface has suitable length so that when in an operated position in which the jacket anchoring surface is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the end portion of the length of cordage, relative motion between the housing and portions of the cordage outside the housing do not induce undue stress concentrations in the cordage. The anchoring member secures the end portion of the cordage against unintended movement with respect to the housing and transfers forces applied to the cordage to the housing. Strain-relief facilities also are provided for the insulated conductors and are such that a conductor restraining bar (75) under the application of forces is moved substantially linearly into engagement with the conductors.

Abstract: In a solenoid type fuel injection valve, outer and inner fuel spray guide devices (31, 32) are coaxially disposed downstream of a fuel injection hole 16 3 , and a pintle 34 is projectingly provided at a tip end of a needle valve 21 to extend through the fuel injection hole 16 3  and opposed to an upper surface of the inner fuel spray guide device 32. Thus, fuel passed through the fuel injection hole 16 3  to collide against a valve head 34 3  of the pintle 34 is sprayed into an intake port, while being atomized and spread into a cone-like shape. At this time, the fuel is blocked by a support arm 17 2  which extends radially inwardly from a cap 17 to support the inner fuel spray guide device 32, thereby causing a fuel spray pattern to be formed into a horse's hoof-like shape having fuel spray lacked portions. By forming the fuel spray lacked portions in correspondence to a rod portion of an intake valve and/or the like, the deposition of the fuel is prevented.
