Abstract: The inventions relates to a tool 10 that is adapted to loosen or fasten connector nuts located in areas of reduced space. The tool 10 is particularly useful because it allows manipulating basin nuts 40 located between the lower portion of the basing and piping that provides water to the faucets that are attached to the basin via the nut. The tool comprising a body having a first section adapted to receive the fastening means and a second section adapted to receive the torque, the first section and the second section being adapted for attachment to each other to transfer the torque to the first section, wherein the first section is adapted to allow piping to be located adjacent the second section during use of the tool to allow the first section to receive the fastening means. The tool may be configured as a socket. The invention also relates to a kit including the sockets.

Abstract: A system and method is provided to allow a video conference participant to establish and direct a video conference through a control network separate from the conference network that sustains the conference. A video conference switching system host machine responds to control signals conveyed by a control network to the switching system from a participant-accessible control system. The host machine generates adaptor conference signals that are interpreted to appropriately configure a crosspoint switch in correspondence with the control signals. The switching system may operate in continuous presence or video follows audio modes. In continuous presence mode, the host machine generates adaptor conference signals that are interpreted to convey to the participants a combination video signal composed from the individual video signals. In the video follows audio mode, detected voice signals result in a switch configuration according to a video follows audio protocol or rule set.

Abstract: A process for making an improved flocked fabric and the fabric thereby produced.The process comprises sequentially the steps of:A. forming a bonded base-web comprising thermoplastic fibres or filaments,B. applying a uniform amount of adhesive to the bonded base-web,C. applying flock fibres to the adhesively coated base web and drying the adhesive,D. applying a uniform amount of adhesive in a dilute solution and drying the adhesive.The product is characterised by encapsulation of the flock fibres in adhesive.
