Abstract: An open clamp structure, especially an earless clamp structure with overlapping inner and outer clamping band portions (11a, 11b) adapted to be mechanically interconnected; the clamp structure can be tightened about the object to be fastened by the application of a tightening tool (22, 22') at tool-engaging surfaces (24a, 25a) in these band portions; the tool-engaging surfaces are thereby so constructed and arranged that over-torquing during tightening is precluded. Savings in band material can be realized by the particular arrangement of the mechanical connection of the inner and outer band portions which also permits an efficient preassembly. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Crimper. 
<??>There is provided between the two strands of each conveyor (17, 17') of a pair of conveyors a sealed box (22, 22'), of which one large face arranged substantially in contact with a working strand of this conveyor is formed from a perforated rigid plate (23, 23'). Means (26, 26') are provided for feeding compressed air into each box (22, 22'). This air, escaping by way of the perforations of these plates (23, 23'), generates an air cushion between each plate and the active part of the conveyor (17, 17'), the effect of this being to reduce considerably the sliding resistance of this conveyor (17, 17') on this plate (23, 23'). 
<??>This arrangement appreciably decreases the tensions in the conveyors, thereby making it possible to crimp wider mats without disadvantage and to simplify the construction.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing short aggregate piers in situ in the ground including the steps of forming a cavity in the ground, compacting soil in the vicinity of a bottom portion of the cavity to prestress and densify the soil beneath the cavity, adding a layer of loose aggregate to partially fill the cavity, compacting the layer of loose aggregate with an implement 10 adapted to reduce the height of the layer and adapted to prestress and densify the soil laterally by forcing some of the aggregate laterally into the sides of the cavity and thereby also enlarging the cavity in the vicinity of the layer, and repeating steps of adding aggregate and compacting aggregate until the cavity is filled substantially completely with compacted aggregate or is filled to the desired elevation. The resulting pier has a bulging, undulating outer surface which the surrounding prestressed soil is better able to support.

Abstract: The invention relates to a keyboard for piano-like instruments which is used for practice purposes or in high-quality electronic instruments. The intention is to simulate the impression of piano playing. The keyboard is to be capable of use in any desired position. To this end it is proposed that a tension spring (1) which is long in relation to the key (2,2') and is adjustable in its tensile force be arranged virtually parallel to the key (2), one end of the tension spring (1) being fixed to a spring suspension approximately in the middle of the key (2, 2') and the other end being fixed adjustably on the frame. An advantageous embodiment of the keyboard according to the invention envisages that magnets (MT, MG) be arranged in each case on the keys (2, 2') and on the frame (6) of the keyboard in a manner such that, when the keys (2, 2') are actuated, they move past each other at a short distance apart. The magnets (MT, MG) have the same polarity, so that repelling forces arise as they move past. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Method for monitoring the transportation of goods to predetermined removal stations by means of transport vehicles within a spatially extended region, for example a state, with automatic determination of the distance travelled in each case and detection of this distance in an on-board computer. In a monitoring station, an individual route, containing removal stations, is stored as tour schedule with regard to the relevant route segments, travelling and standstill times for each transport vehicle in a central computer, which schedule is transmitted to the respective on-board computer, stored in it as nominal tour and compared with the actual values forming the actual tour, which are determined as actual route segments and actual times by means of the travel of the transport vehicle and a clock, a difference value being determined from the continuous comparison of the nominal values of the nominal tour with the actual values, which difference value, when a particular limit value is exceeded, conveys to the central computer via a radio data link between the transport vehicle and central station a limit value signal which contains the location established in the transport vehicle and the relevant time, whereupon the central computer, using the relevant tour schedule as a basis, modifies the latter into a replacement tour schedule and transmits it via the radio data link to the on-board computer, which replacement tour schedule is monitored with respect to nominal and actual values in the same manner as the original tour schedule. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The plastic housing of the unit consists of a lower part (1) and of a cover (2). One upper printed circuit board (16) and one or more lower printed circuit boards (28, 30) are fitted in the lower part. Additional modules (21, 22) can be connected to the upper printed circuit board by means of plugs. The lower printed circuit boards (28, 30) are pushed in on supporting ribs (26) and between guide ribs (25) under the upper printed circuit board (16) and, once they have been pushed in, are connected to a bus printed circuit board (14) by means of a plug connection (31, 32) such that they can be replaced. A screening plate (35) is mounted on the base (3) of the housing lower part (1). The housing of the unit can be configured in a simple and cost-effective manner while nevertheless ensuring adequate screening, as a result of the plate (35). The two-level or three-level design allows the unit to be constructed in a compact manner while all the printed circuit boards are nevertheless accessible since the lower printed circuit boards (28, 30) can easily be removed without removing the upper printed circuit board (16). The construction of the unit and of the printed circuit boards allows the unit to be fitted in various ways, allows the printed circuit boards to be replaced easily, and thus allows versatile design options. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Glass fiber mats are made for subsequent use in preforming for an RTM or SRIM molding process, for example, such that the binder applied to the mat has two distinct curing stages. In the first stage, a partial cure is provided by visible light upon a free radical generation in response to a photoinitiator mixed in the binder in an exact ratio to give a predictable increase in viscosity to that of a semi-solid so that the fibers are sufficiently bound for subsequent handling, but not sufficient to complete a cure, while leaving a second stage ready for a final cure which is achieved by the use of a cationic-type second photoinitiator which is sensitive to ultraviolet light. During the second curing stage, the mat is formed into a three-dimensional shape of a desired end product and cured with ultraviolet radiation while still in the mold, to obtain a rigid three-dimensional preform structure. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A battery powered computer system determines when the system is not in use by monitoring various events associated with the operation of the system. The system preferably monitors the number of cache read misses and write operations, i.e., the cache hit rate, and reduces the system clock frequency when the cache hit rate rises above a certain level. When the cache hit rate is above a certain level, then it can be assumed that the processor is executing a tight loop, such as when the processor is waiting for a key to be pressed and then the frequency can be reduced without affecting system performance. Alternatively, the apparatus monitors the occurrence of memory page misses, I/O write cycles or other events to determine the level of activity of the computer system.

Abstract: Telephone terminals which differ in terms of the dialling mode used (pulse dialling or multifrequency code dialling modes) are to be connected to the small communication system. No earth indication is provided in the subscriber circuit for the pulse dialling unit. An enquiry is initiated by dialling a code in the case of an accepted incoming call connection, whereas, in the case of a connected terminal with multifrequency code dialling mode, this is effected by operating a signal key (flash). Time overlaps thus occur for the respective effected line interruptions, so that an unambiguous statement on the dialling mode of the terminal currently involved is not possible. Therefore, when a telephone terminal is connected, and also in the case of every incoming seizure, an evaluation is provided for dialling information relating to both types. If the assigned dialling mode is identified through activation of an evaluation, storage is effected in a memory space of a non-volatile memory through signals characterising this dialling mode concerned. When an enquiry is initiated during an accepted incoming call, the dialling mode assigned to the terminal concerned can be established by the controller by reading the contents of the memory space. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus for synchronizing a plurality of asynchronous circuits during testing operations is provided. The apparatus includes first and second clock inputs, a test mode input, and an output. The apparatus receives a first clock signal from a first clock at the first clock input, and a second clock signal from a second clock at the second clock input. Responsive to the state of a test mode signal at the test mode input, the apparatus generates either the first clock signal or the second clock signal at the output. A first circuit is arranged to be driven by the output of the apparatus, while a second circuit is driven by one of the first or second clocks. Consequently, the first and second circuits are driven by different clocks when the test mode signal is in one state, and driven by the same clock when the test mode signal is in another state. Because the first and second circuits are driven by the same clock during testing operations, the timing of the communications between the circuits is predictable, making it possible to perform certain testing techniques that are not possible when the timing of inter-circuit communication is not predictable.
