Device (10) and method for joining textile yarns (16a, 16b). The device (10) includes a joining chamber (13) inside which the ends of the two yarns (16a, 16b) to be joined are introduced. The joining chamber (13) can be closed and defines, in its closed position, a joining compartment which is hit by a fluid. The device (10) comprises, for each of the yarns (16a, 16b), first clamping members (21a,...

Server-based collaboration is initiated by an email. When the user creates t he email message with attachments, a collaboration website is provisioned. The collaboration website allows collaborations on the attached documents by the recipients of the message. The ease of collaboration with email and the advantages of the collaboration server are thus both available to the user.

A method for managing a first and second version of an electronic file is disclosed. In the method, first and second versions of an electronic file are recognized a nd a synchronization event is initiated. An application program interface accesses the first and second versions, compares information associated with each, generates a result and reports th e result to the first software application. ...

A kite container (1) has a barrel (10), a lower cover (12) disposed on a lower end of the barrel (10), a carrying strap (14} having two ends connected to the barrel (10), and the barrel (10) having an upper opening (11) to receive a bobbin (13). The bobbin (13) has an annular flange (132) to block an upper end of the barrel (20). A flying thread (131) winds the bobbin (13).

An apparatus to dispense water soluble compositions into a process stream involves recirculating water through the water soluble chemical held in a tank. The recirculating water is heated to establish a defined temperature and repeatedly recirculated through the bed of chemical o achieve relative saturation concentration of the recirculating water. The water is dispensed from the recirculating uni...

The present invention relates to a process to increase extraction yield s and improve dewaxing performance of a tube boiling range stream. More particularly, the present invention is a process to produce at least one bas e oil by contacting a light tube stream with a polar solvent in a solvent extracti on zone, then mixing the resulting extract with a second, heavier lube stream, extracting the mi...

A method 700 for assessing damage to machine components is provided. The method includes calculating 702 an expected parameter value based on a first parameter value indicator, calculating 704 an estimate of an actual parameter value based on a second parameter value indicator, the second parameter value indicator being different than the first parameter value indicator, determining 706 if the cal...

The present invention relates to an absorbent textile product consisting of 100% synthetic fibers, particularly suitable for household cleaning and personal hygiene purposes.

An output buffer for a semiconductor memory device and other semiconductor devices includes a feedback circuit to dynamically control the output impedance of the output buffer in response to a variety of load conditions, thus reducing output ringing. The output buffer may also include circuitry to support selectively converting the device for operation at a variety of supply voltage ranges without...

An industrial robot (1) has a structure comprising two or more reciprocally articulated elements (2, 3, 5, 7, 10) capable of angular motion, an electronic unit (14) for controlling a functional device (13) carried by the frame of the robot (1), and at least a first optical fiber conductor (15). The electronic unit (14) is in signal communication with the functional device (13) through the first op...

Case (1) for eyeglasses or the like, characterized in that it contains engagement means (2) capable of removably engaging the bridge (53) of the eyeglasses (50).

The apparatus comprises an input receptacle (11) for receiving one or more cheques to be scanned, an image-scanner unit (24, 25) for scanning a cheque, an output receptacle (12) for receiving a cheque after it has been scanned, a conveyor mechanism (17-22) for conveying cheques, one at a time, from the input receptacle (11) to the output receptacle (12) along a path (P) extending in front of the s...

The scanner apparatus has a feed device for picking up cheques from an input receptacle (11) and transferring them to a conveyor mechanism which conveys the cheques through the interior of the apparatus. A feed plate (15) resiliently urges a bundle of cheques in the receptacle (11) towards an opposed surface (29). A feed roller (14) acting on the side remote from the plate picks up from the recept...
