Title: Combing machine
Inventor: MANDL GERHARD DR
IPC: D01G19/26
Filed: 1996-02-17
Abstract: A comber machine with a nipper head (3) has a fixed bearing (2), and at least one pair of detaching rolls (6'') which are rotatably mounted in bearings (41). The nipper head (3) and the detaching rolls (6'') are moved during a combing cycle towards one another and away from one another by the distance of a stroke path, up to a minimum distance which corresponds to a predetermined separation value. While still maintaining the stroke path, the predetermined separation distance (ecartement value) can be adjusted. To facilitate the setting of the ecartement value, provision is made for bearings (41) of the detaching rolls (6'') to be displaced relative to the fixed bearing (2) of the nipper head (3), jointly on a track (45) which enlarges or reduces the separation value.

Abstract: The slip control system of a lockup clutch (18 in
Fig. 1) comprising a lockup relay valve (30) and a
duty solenoid (50). The lockup relay valve (30)
switches the engagement state of the lockup clutch
(18) in response to the actuation of a switching
solenoid (40). In the state in which the lockup
relay valve (30) is switched to a position for
exhausting working oil out of a release side oil
chamber (26) in a torque converter (10), the duty
solenoid (50) receives a duty factor correspondent
to the desired value of a slip magnitude as
delivered from control means (58) and then controls
the quantity of exhaust of the working oil. Thus,
the slip control system can attain a reduced cost
and a smaller size as well as a lighter weight while
being enhanced in reliability and controllability.

Abstract: Methods of verifying use of postage charges in respect of
mail items are disclosed. An authentication code is
derived from a secret identification of a sender and a
part of the destination address of the item. The code is
printed on the mail item together with a sender account
reference. On receipt of the mail item, the postal
authority is able to use the account reference to access
the secret identification and thereby determine if the
destination address derived corresponds to that printed on
the mail to verify the payment for the postage charge. In
a modification, each time a postage meter effects a
transaction with a remote centre, the remote centre
generates and transmits to the meter a transaction number.
The meter utilises a unique key to generate an encrypted
code based on an item count and the transaction number.
The code and a meter identification are printed on the
mail. The postal authority reads the meter identification
to access the unique key to decrypt the code and then
compares the current transaction number with the
transaction number derived from the code in order to
verify the postage charges used by the sender.
Patent EP-0738867-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SCHNEIDER ARTHUR J
IPC: F42B10/56
Filed: 1996-04-15
Abstract: A bomb damage assessment system (10) that is carried by a weapon (11) and
released to provide imagery of a bombed area before and after bomb delivery. The
system (10) comprises a glider (20) that is releasable secured to the weapon (11)
that includes tracking and guidance electronics (34, 40) for programmable controlling
the flight thereof. An imaging system (31) is disposed in the front end of the glider
(20) and a deployable ballute (37) is disposed at the rear end thereof. A data link
(36) is provided for transmitting images to a command center for review. The
system (10) provides imagery of a target area before, during and after weapon
impact. Television or infrared cameras (31) may be used for day or night missions.
As a target area is approached, the glider (20) is released, resulting in an
aerodynamic vehicle that flies much slower than the weapon (11). The imaging
system (31) tracks the weapon (11) to impact. The explosion of the weapon (11)
produces a hot spot that is tracked by the imaging system (31). The hot spot is
tracked until a preselected depression angle is reached. The glider (20) banks until
the hop spot is at a predetermined angle relative to the centerline thereof. This
results in a spiral glide path around the hot spot so that the target area is viewed
from all aspects. The spiral path also results in a monotonically decreasing range to
the hot spot. The glider may employ a GPS receiver, and the target location in GPS
coordinates may be entered into the guidance and control system (40). The glider
(20) may be programmed to fly along a specific path or geometric surface in GPS
coordinates toward the target. Using a fixed filed of view imaging system (31), a
large amount of background is seen from long range and better linear resolution is
obtained at short range until the glider (20) descends to the ground. Bomb damage
assessment may be performed at the command center within minutes of weapon
impact.

Abstract: The method involves supporting portability of a mobile subscriber telephone number at an exchange of a mobile subscriber from a current mobile communication system (D1) which releases the registered subscriber, to a new mobile communications system (D2) which receives the mobile subscriber. The current phone number (MSISDN) used for initiating a call connection to the mobile subscriber is received by a exchange arrangement (MSC/GMSC) of the current communication system, and used at least for a query of a database (VLR), by which routing information is demanded for the call connection. At reception of a control information from the database, the exchange initiates a branching to a service control unit (CSE) of an intelligent network in lieu of the routing information, which is transmitted along which the current telephone number. The service control unit replaces the current telephone number with a new phone number (MSISDN') which is usable in the new communication system, and returns it to the exchange which sets up the call connection in the new communication system, using the new number.
