A turn-to-turn grooved insulating tube includes a tubular member having a substantially continuous rib helix formed on an outer surface. The rib helix defines a substantially continuous helical groove for receiving a conductor for forming a coil of a transformer.

A method of scheduling the retrieval of both continuous and noncontinuous data retrieves continuous data streams at a predetermined rate. At least one server receives one or more requests for the retrieval of a stream of media data by at least one terminal. Each requested media stream is characterized by a playback rate ri. A common retrieval time period is established for each requested media str...

A container system for the shipping and storing of product such as bananas, comprising: (a) a substantially rigid outer container having at least one ventilation opening; (b) a closable inner container positioned within the outer container for receiving the product, the inner container having a bottom portion and a top portion; and (c) means attached to the top portion of the inner container for o...

Before a wave soldering process is completed, immersion gold plated through holes (4) are pre-coated with solder by a solder paste printing method, whereby solder paste is applied at the lands (1) of the through holes by means of a stencil (6), said solder paste being heated in such a manner that it melts spreading as a smooth thin layer on the walls (4b) of the through holes. The stencil for coat...

The container comprises an outer packaging layer (4), e.g. of cardboard, which contains applicator (6') and a reservoir (8') for the product and which acts as a holder for both of them even after the container has been opened. The container wall has a zone of reduced resistance (36) which enables it to be separated into two sections (40,42), one holding the reservoir and the other the applicator.

The invention is characterised in applying, on said turntable, false bottles or wa...

A Digital signal processor selectively demodulates and decodes signals received from multiple types of transmission channels such as satellite, terrestrial and cable transmission channels. A received signal is representative of compressed digital video information such as television picture information, and is encoded in one of a plurality of coding formats (e.g., trellis or punctured codes of sel...

The device includes a bar having a longitudinal axis and adapted to be inserted into a fistulous tract. A cutting tool cooperates with the bar such that the cutting tool separates the fistulous tract from the surrounding tissue by coring the fistula.

A method and apparatus for providing a welding current is disclosed. The power source is capable of receiving any input voltage over a wide range of input voltages and includes an input rectifier that rectifies the ac input into a dc signal. A dc voltage stage converts the dc signal to a desired dc voltage and an inverter inverts the dc signal into a second ac signal. An output transformer receive...

Process for the preparation of urea, wherein in a first step ammonia and carbondioxide react in suitable conditions so as to form a first mixture containing a quantity of urea, wherein in one or more subsequent steps ammonia and carbondioxide is removed from the first mixture and the obtained urea is concentrated until a urea concentration has been reached suitable to be granulated in a gas stream...
