An under-cart type guided tractor comprising a frame provided with a driving unit including driving wheels on the underside thereof, the guided tractor being adapted to travel guided by a guide signal sent out from a guide element, such as a magnetic tape laid along a traveling path on a floor surface, and to draw a cart provided with free wheels and loaded with goods, with the guided tractor loca...

The present invention provides methods and apparatus for reconfiguring protocol data for a multiplexed data stream which is reduced to carry fewer services for cable- side transmission in a cable television plant or the like. More particularly, the present invention provides methods and apparatus for reconfiguring protocol data for a desired combination of multiplexed data stream subgroups contai...

The present invention provides methods and apparatus for creating a Program Association Table (PAT) for a reduced portion of a multiplexed data stream, when the multiplexed data stream has been reduced, for example, to carry fewer services over a cable television plant. More particularly, the present invention provides methods and apparatus for creating a PAT for a desired combination of multiplex...

The present invention relates to analysis of sensors and sensor signals using status signals carrying information about the status of components in a flow system. The invention can comprise means for condition checking (31) arranged to determine the alarm state of a function connected via a condition to a goal when the goal is not achieved or means for checking for normal/failed situations (32) ar...

Mobile wireless devices such a telephones, PDAs and webpads are getting more powerful and have low duty cycles. To exploit this untapped resource, a method is described which allows computing tasks to be (optionally parallelised and) distributed among large numbers of such wireless devices and the cost of such services apportioned accordingly.

The present invention deals with diagnosing of a flow system, using status signals carrying information about said flow system, whereby new status information is generated, which relates to a plurality of aspects of the flow system based on said status signals and dependent on a functional model and on a set of predetermined rules. The invention comprises a diagnostic apparatus ( 20 ) arranged to ...

QUE COMPRENDE DOS DISCOS DE MADERBA DE MEDIDAS VARIABLES; Y, UN CILINDRO DE CARTON. CARACTERIZADO PORQUE LA UNION DEL CILINDRO CON LOS DISCOS ES A PRESION POR MEDIO DE UN DISCO PEQUENO DE MADERBA EN EL CENTRO Y CON EL DIAMETRO DEL CILINDRO. HACIENDO QUE LOS DISCOS LATERALES SE FIJEN, Y ADEMAS POSEEN 5 AGUJEROS POR DONDE PASAN TIRANTES DE FIERRO DE 1/2 PULGADA, CUYOS EXTREMOS SON SUJETADOS CON ARAN...

Glass sheets are press bent and tempered, especially for use as glazings in vehicles. Such glazings are required to be accurately bent to a complex shape while meeting high standards of optical quality and fracture safety at an acceptable cost. A method of bending and tempering a glass sheet (11) is provided comprising heating the sheet (11) in a furnace (12), including heating at least one portio...

A data format and control protocol for a communication system is presented which allows purely photonic connections between network edge components. The format uses time slot based TDM channels to allow all optical switching of the channels between different signal paths in the switch nodes, and time slot by time slot WDM to reduce the probability of blocked connections. The connecti on protocol ...

Installation for carrying persons down from a mountain station into a valley station along a guide rail which is borne by supports or the like at a distance above the ground. Individual sections of-the guide rail are connected to one another in an articulated and longitudinally non-displaceable manner, and the guide rail is fastened on at least some of the supports in each case via a link that ca...

A Road Tolling System comprising unique vehicle identification means and remote regulator identifying means to enable said regulator to identify said vehicl e within a selected area; and communication means for said regulator to communicate with said vehicle in real-time to provide toll cost data to the operator in said vehicle, or to later provide toll cost data to the operator. The system and as...

A process for preparing tosylbenzyl formamides.

A process for preparing tosylbenzyl formamides.

A pregel composition is added to an organic electrolyte solution of an electrolyte salt in a nonaqueous solvent for causing the solution to gel and form a polymer gel electrolyte. The pregel composition is dehydrated by azeotropic distillation and has a moisture content of not more than 1,000 ppm as determined by Karl Fischer titration. Polymer gel electrolytes prepared with such a pregel composi...

This invention was developed to change a faulty system of using landfills for waste or just moving it from place to place without solving a growing problem. This invention takes any waste material and processes it all by combining several known technologies that work in concert to process the entire waste into usable commodities. The energy derived from municipal solid waste that includes almost ...

Persons can be carried downhill from a mountain station to a valley station. A guide rail is fastened on a supporting cable at a distance above the ground. The guide rail is formed of a multiplicity of sub-rails and carriages with a chair, a cabin, or the like can be displaced along the rail. The sub-rails are connected to one another such that they can be displaced in the longitudinal direction o...

The invention concerns a process and an apparatus for re- ducing the content of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust gases of diesel engines or turbines for stationary or mo- bile applications/vehicles in an SCR system by providing a stored source of liquid reducing agent and feeding the stored reducing agent to the exhaust gases, said process comprising transferring the liquid reducing agent from...
