Abstract: A process for producing roller blinds includes defining a plurality of shapes for the completed roller blind in a continuous material band. The band has a uniform width and edges of the roller blind are defined between the longitudinal edges of the material band. Separating strips are defined in the material band between adjacent edges of the devices. The individual devices are removed from the continuous material band by separating the material band along the separating strips.

Abstract: A communications system with communications terminal equipment provided with prescribed functions that are defined and controlled by a communications installation by information transmission. An identical parameter-controlled program for all communications terminal equipment connectable to a communications installation is stored in the program memory of the communications terminal equipment. All functions that can be allocated to the different types of communications terminal equipment are realized by this program. The functions provided for the respective communications terminal equipment are allocated and controlled by parameter data stored in a data memory. On the basis of an initialization in the communications terminal equipment or in the communications installation, the parameter data are transmitted for the first time to or updated at the respective communications terminal equipment by the communications installation.

Abstract: A method for transmitting equipment-specifying program parameter data from a communications installation to communications terminal equipment. The method provides for transmitting program parameter data from a communications installation to a plurality of communications terminal equipment connected thereto and is based on a message-oriented transmission protocol that is used in the sense of an information exchange in the signalling channel between the equipment. In the communications equipment, the input and output devices as well as the procedures of performance features and local performance features are essentially controlled with the assistance of the program parameter data. A transmission of program parameter data is initiated either by a parameter request message transmitted from the communications terminal equipment or by an internal request of the communications installation.

Abstract: The zirconium cladding of a coolant-displacement rod of a nuclear reactor is precollapsed in the zirconium oxide stack of pellets which supports the cladding. Current is conducted through the cladding in an atmosphere at reduced pressure containing residual oxygen, to heat the cladding to a temperature at which its yield strength is reduced. Then, while the rod remains at this temperature, it is subjected to isostatic pressure which collapses the cladding uniformly. The formation, by reason of exposure to neutron flux, of a long unsupported gap in the cladding which might be collapsed under the pressure of the coolant is precluded. In addition, the rod retains its symmetry. The outer surface of the cladding is oxidized, facilitating the movement of the rod into its thimbles of the core and improving the resistances of the cladding to reaction with the coolant.

Abstract: A ring-shaped network (RN) which is an offering network is inserted into a subscriber line region of a switching equipment (VE). A gate (GWE) is arranged in one (AEI) of the acceptance devices of the respectively accepting n subscriber line equipment (SLM) and signalling and message transmission procedure matching is done in the gateway means. The coupling to the ring-shaped network (RN) occurs through a ring-coupling (RCB) to which a gateway apparatus (GWE) and an external acceptance device (AEE) which contains a matching device (APE) and a plurality of subscriber line equipment (SLM) are connected. The matching device (APE) provides the signalling and information transmission procedure matching. For example, ISDN subscriber equipment (SE) are connected to the subscriber line equipment (SLM) via central office lines (ASL).

Abstract: The reading times for a designational reading of information communicated via an ISDN-oriented interface are formed for a recording device and transmitted thereto with the assistance of a circuit arrangement, being formed from bit clock signals and bit group clock signals, which define the boundaries of the bit groups comprising 32 bits, that are present in an ISDN-oriented interface. The reading times present in the form of bit clock pulses inform the recording device of the times at which the information are to be read and subsequently stored. The circuit arrangement contains a shift register that is formed by a plurality of registers corresponding in number to the plurality of bits of a bit group, a reset device that is realized, for example, by an inverter and a switch, and also contains an AND gate and a plurality of switch devices whose setting determines which information are, respectively, bits of a bit group are to be read and stored.

Abstract: A tool holding device for persons with limited hand mobility has complementary tool handles and socket of cylindrical or conical form. The socket is integral with a rotatable part and may have an upper open section above the socket diameter permitting tools to be snapped into rotatable relationship with the socket. The rotatable base for the socket is surrounded by an annular fixed housing, and housing and socket base have complementary facing O-ring grooves above which the housing has a locating flange turned inward over the rotatable socket base. The O-ring locates the parts and provides frictional holding force while allowing snap-out snap-in disassembly for cleaning. A strap through the fixed rim retains the parts in assembly and has hook and loop or other easily fastened fasteners for securing the unit to the hand or other limb of the user.
