Title: Connector with insert molded captive ball
Inventor: CHAMBERLIN JAMES B
IPC: F16C11/06
Filed: 1996-04-18
Granted: 2004-02-24
Abstract: A connector assembly (12) with a connector body (24) molded directly about a captive ball (26) formed on a separate shaft (22), where the shaft (22) and connector (24) are attached to separate bodies which move relative to each other. This assembly retains an essentially zero clearance fit between the ball (26) and the connector (24) so as to prevent rattling between the parts from vibrations. This zero clearance fit is achieved at a much lower cost than comparable quality connectors due to higher diametric tolerances for the ball component (26).      Higher diametric tolerances do not affect the final fit because the connector (24) is molded directly about the ball (26).

Title: Locking washer and locking apparatus using the same
Inventor: KATO TOSIYUKI
IPC: E04B1/26
Filed: 1998-10-06
Granted: 2006-08-08
Abstract: A locking apparatus includes an inner ring having a tapered outer shape and permitting a bolt of a fastener, with which construction elements are fastened, to pass therethrough, an outer plate formed with a tapered bore which receives the inner ring, a coil spring which urges the inner ring toward the outer plate, and a nut threadedly engaged with the bolt on the side close to an outer end of the coil spring. When an external force is applied to a construction so that the outer plate is displaced toward the nut, together with the construction element associated therewith, the outer plate applies a force, exerting in the direction axially of the bolt, to the inner ring.      When receiving the force which has a component directed radially inwardly of the bolt, the inner ring is reduced in diameter to tighten the bolt, thereby preventing a further displacement of the outer plate and the construction element.

Abstract: A method for removing postal funds from a postage meter provides an accounting unit of a postage meter with indicium-related information which is invalid for mailing. The accounting unit generates a digital signature, which is an encrypted value of the postal funds removed from the postage meter and other postal data including the indicium-related information. The accounting unit through a Host PC sends to a data center the amount of the postal funds removed from the postage meter and the digital signature. The data center verifies that the digital signature has been generated using the indicium-related information. The meter is disabled when the digital signature cannot be verified. When the digital signature is verified a request for a refund is sent by the data center to a postal authority. An example of the indicium-related information is an invalid destination postal code or an invalid origination postal code.

Abstract: A stream of incoming digital signals (I a) is split (10) into a plurality of derived streams (I b) that are sent over respective transmission links (R). The derived streams transmitted in this way (I c) are then bundled again (20) to form a stream of outgoing digital signals (I d). At the transmission end, symbols are inserted into the derived streams (I b) simultaneously and at constant intervals (T), in order to subdivide the transmitted information into packets of equal duration and aligned in time when being transmitted. At the reception end, the above symbols associated to the transmitted derived streams (I c) are generally time-shifted as a consequence of the transmission over the various transmission links (R). At the reception end (20) the time alignment of the above symbols is recovered so as to recover the time alignment of the various transmitted derived streams (I c), so that the subsequent bundling can take place on the streams correctly time-aligned.
