Abstract: An annular seal for insertion into the seal gap between a housing and a housing cover includes a soft, elastic seal member, as well as a flexible circuit board transversely extending through the seal member, whereby the seal member and the flexible circuit board are stiffened within the seal gap by a stiffening element. The stiffening element has a modulus of elasticity and a thrust modulus which is higher than the respectively corresponding value of the circuit board. The circuit board does not noticeably extend beyond the three-dimensional extent of the seal gap. The annular seal has a reduced weight, allows a better use of the housing, and is more easily installed.

Abstract: An inorganic particulate, having strong absorption in the thermal infrared region of the radiative spectrum and low absorption in the solar or visible portion of the radiative spectrum, is combined with a plastic resin, to create a composite material. This composite is used in whole or in part to manufacture a honeycomb transparent insulation material, or is applied as a coating to a honeycomb transparent insulation material. The resulting honeycomb transparent insulation can have similar visible or solar light transmittance, and will have improved thermal radiant suppression relative to an identical honeycomb made of plastic resin only.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for detecting the presence of macro viruses within a digital computer (1). An application program (5) is associated with the digital computer (1).  A global environment (13) is associated with the application program (5). The application program (5) generates at least one local document (11). Macros contained within the global environment (13) and the local document(s) (11) are executed in a simulated manner by an emulator (15). At least one preselected decision criterion is used by a detection module (17) to declare when a macro virus is deemed to be present. Such a criterion is typically the presence of a bidirectional macro, i.e., a macro that copies from a local document (11) to the global environment (13) and vice-versa.  Macros deemed to be viruses are preferably deleted by a repair module (19). Additional deletion criteria may include the presence of macros that have the same source name or the same destination name as a bidirectional macro. In the preferred emulation steps, emulator (15) tests all of the macros associated with computer (1) in two steps. The first step assumes that the macros reside within the global environment (13), regardless of whether they reside within the global environment (13) or within a local document (11). The second step assumes that the macros reside within a local document (11), regardless of whether they reside within a local document (11) or within the global environment (13).

Abstract: The invention relates to a hand-held apparatus for transferring a film from a carrier tape (8) onto a substrate. Said apparatus comprises a housing (1,18) in which are arranged a supply reel (4) for the carrier tape (8) coated with the film, a wind-up reel (5) which is radially displaced in relation to the supply reel and receives the carrier tape (8) separated from the film, as well as an applicator (6, 22) which deflects the carrier tape, protrudes from the housing (1) and presents to the substrate that side of the carrier tape which is coated with the film. A drive system (13, 14, 15) with a slide coupling is positioned between the supply reel (4) and the wind-up reel (5) and configured as a friction drive. When the supply reel (5) is driven by the withdrawal of the carrier tape (8) the drive system drives the wind-up reel (5) at such a speed that the carrier tape always remains taut. To improve torque transmission between the reels (4, 5) the reel bodies (4, 5) each have at least one disk-like reel wall (13, 15). The reel wall (13) of the one reel body (4) is fitted with slots and the reel wall (15) of the other reel body (5) engages the slot (14) and is held in place therein.

Abstract: Un ensemble échangeur de chaleur est adapté pour être utilisé avec un autre ensemble échangeur de chaleur semblable pour refroidir ou chauffer un environnement contrôlé, ou contrôler son humidité. Chaque ensemble échangeur de chaleur est destiné à être utilisé concurremment avec un réseau de communications reliant tous ces ensembles échangeurs de chaleur, mais chacun peut fonctionner de manière autonome, si le réseau fait défaut. Chaque ensemble échangeur de chaleur comprend une pompe à chaleur et un contrôleur. Au démarrage, le contrôleur détermine si son état précédent était PRIMAIRE ou SECONDAIRE, et il tente d'adopter l'état correspondant. Si aucun ensemble n'adopte l'état PRIMAIRE, un scénario aléatoire, allié aux communications, facilite l'établissement des ensembles sous la forme PRIMAIRE, tandis que les autres restent SECONDAIRES. Le contrôleur de l'ensemble PRIMAIRE compare l'état environnemental du moment établi par les signaux arrivant à ses points de communications, avec un point de consigne, pouvant être établi à distance, pour commander le fonctionnement. Un ensemble SECONDAIRE peut comparer le taux de variation de l'état environnemental du moment au point de consigne du taux de variation, pour déterminer à quel moment l'ensemble SECONDAIRE doit fonctionner.
