Publication number: 20040070920Abstract: The invention relates to a personal computer and its portable versions, such as laptops and handheld computers, comprising at least two independent subsystems (8) in addition to a microprocessor (2). Each existing subsystem (8) is based on a separate, independent classification of the data contained therein as a result of the latter's security-specific sensitivity. Each subsystem (8) comprises at least one individual physical and/or virtual storage medium (9). Each subsystem (8) contains at least one individual integrated operating system (10). According to requirements, the subsystems (8) can be started and prepared for operation, or switched to standby mode jointly or independently of one another, or started and operated jointly or independently of one another, or switched to standby mode from operational mode, or shutdown jointly or independently of one another, or shutdown from standby mode jointly or independently of one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2003Publication date: April 15, 2004Inventor: Adolf Flueli

Patent number: 5007595Abstract: There are disclosed one-piece chuck structures for use in winding machines and particularly, but not exclusively, for use in high speed winding machines for the take-up of synthetic plastics filament. These one-piece chuck structures comprise a first elongated tubular portion adapted to receive one or more bobbin tubes and a second elongated tubular portion integral with the first elongated tubular portion and of reduced external diameter relative thereto. Bearings cooperate with the exterior of the second elongated tubular portion such that the first elongated tubular portion and the second elongated tubular portion are rotatable about a common longitudinal axis. Also disclosed are hollow bobbin tube-engaging elements as well as double-arm tube-positioning members which can be used with such and other chuck structures.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 1989Date of Patent: April 16, 1991Assignee: Rieter Machine Works, Ltd.Inventors: Peter Busenhart, Ruedi Schneeberger, Erwin Holbein, Armin Wirz, Adolf Flueli, Hansueli Maier

Patent number: 4762284Abstract: A machine for winding thread comprising an operating region in which thread packages are formed and retained, if necessary, to await doffing thereof. At least one chuck is provided in the operating region, which is rotatable about a longitudinal chuck axis for winding of thread into a package thereon and has a predetermined doffing position in the operating region. An enclosure having at least one access door is provided for the operating region, the door being movable relative to the enclosure for exposing an access opening to said doffing position while the enclosure hinders access to other portions of the operating region.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1986Date of Patent: August 9, 1988Assignee: Maschinenfabrik Rieter AGInventors: Adolf Flueli, Kurt Schefer, Heinz Oswald

Patent number: 4741485Abstract: The winder is provided with thread divertor guides for both the upper and lower chucks with the angle of diversion not exceeding 120.degree.. The geometry of the winder is such that the respective chucks contact the contact member in separate sub-zones of the winding zone which are spaced apart by a narrow gap. The included angle between the imaginary lines joining the axis of each chuck in its respective rest position to the axis of the chuck when in contact with the contact member lies in a range of from 60.degree. to 175.degree.. The contact member when in the form of a friction drive roll has an external diameter of from 100 to 155 millimeters. When the contact member is in the form of a contact roll with each chuck having an independent drive, the roll may have a diameter in the range of from 60 to 80 millimeters.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1986Date of Patent: May 3, 1988Assignee: Rieter Machine Works, Ltd.Inventors: Adolf Flueli, Claudio Molteni, Jurg Neff, Heinz Oswald, Beat Ruf, Kurt Schefer

Patent number: 4739940Abstract: The method of forming an overwound thread transfer tail entails moving a thread guide carrier which supports a thread guide in a first direction against an abutment and permitting the thread guide carrier to recoil and thereby cause a return movement of the thread guide after striking said abutment. The apparatus for performing the method comprises a thread guide and a movable member movable in a predetermined direction and connected to the thread guide. An abutment serves for limiting movement of said movable member in such predetermined direction, and structure is provided for moving the movable member against the abutment in a manner such as to cause recoil of the movable member.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 1986Date of Patent: April 26, 1988Assignee: Rieter Machine Works LimitedInventors: Adolf Flueli, Heinz Oswald, Kurt Schefer

Patent number: 4739694Abstract: The thread winding machine includes a piston and cylinder unit, comprising a cylinder housing with first and second chambers and a dividing structure between said first and second chambers. A piston is movable longitudinally in the first chamber and a piston extension projects from said piston towards the second chamber. A port in the dividing structure receives the piston extension when the piston is near the dividing structure, thereby separating said first and second chambers. A thread guide is connected to the piston of the piston and cylinder unit for movement in combination therewith.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 1986Date of Patent: April 26, 1988Assignee: Rieter Machine Works Ltd.Inventors: Adolf Flueli, Heinz Oswald, Kurt Schefer

Patent number: 4641793Abstract: The thread winding machine comprises a rotatable chuck having a thread catching device adjacent to a location for a bobbin tube upon the chuck. A thread guide engages the thread and moves it axially of the chuck into the catching device at a first speed and then onto the bobbin tube location at a second, higher speed. An overwound thread reserve or transfer tail is formed by moving the thread guide against a resilient damper, causing it to stop and rebound.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 1985Date of Patent: February 10, 1987Assignee: Rieter Machine Works LimitedInventors: Adolf Flueli, Heinz Oswald, Kurt Schefer

Patent number: 4609159Abstract: The chuck of the winding machine is mounted in cantilever manner on a carrier arm which pivots on an axis which is not in parallel with the axis of rotation of the friction drive roller. The axis of rotation of the chuck is parallel to the drive roller axis at only one position in the path of movement of the chuck towards and away from the drive roller. During winding of a cylindrical thread package, the chuck deflects under the weight of the increasing thread package. This distortion displacement is compensated by the manner in which the axes of the drive roller, and carrier arm are geometrically related.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1984Date of Patent: September 2, 1986Assignee: Rieter Machine Works, Ltd.Inventor: Adolf Flueli
