Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to open a glove box in two stages with a simple structure. A stopper formed of an elastic member is fixed to side faces of the glove box. An inclined face is formed on a tip portion of the stopper. When the glove box is incorporated in the instrument panel and is opened, the inclined face is engaged with an opening edge portion incorporating the instrument panel so that the glove box is held in a half-opening position. Furthermore, when the glove box is rotated, a projection is controlled by the opening edge portion of the instrument panel so that the glove box is held in a full-opening state.

Abstract: A communications system and method utilizes peer-to-peer architecture to provide "quality" real-time communications in a non-guaranteed, packet-based network. Quality real-time communications in a non-guaranteed, packet-based network is achieved by (i) minimizing packet loss, (ii) minimizing latency, and (iii) minimizing the artifacts caused by packet loss. The system distributes control of functionality to the peer communication devices, thereby eliminating the need for a central processor to establish peer-to-peer communications. Each of the peer communication devices has the capability to respond to variations in network loading to provide quality real-time communications.

Soot blowers (31) are likewise provided on the connection lines (2, 6), and mass flow controllers (7) are provided in the lower connection lines (6).

Abstract: A card cage ejector combination is provided including a card cage or housing for receiving printed circuit boards. The housing has an opening for insertion of the PCBs. The ejector mechanism is formed preferably with a single sheet metal piece including a lever/handle portion, a pivot portion, a PCB engagement element and a transmission portion extending from the pivot portion to the PCB engagement portion. The card cage includes a pivot support which is formed by protruding a portion of the sheet metal of the card cage. The pivot portion of the ejector then cooperates with the protruding pivot support and the ejector level can pivot about the pivot support. A fixing portion is also formed from the sheet metal of the card cage. An opening is provided in the card cage adjacent to the pivot support and adjacent to the fixing portion. The PCB engagement portion of the ejector lever is inserted into the opening and the pivot portion is mounted on the pivot support.

Abstract: Index-feed deep drawing apparatus comprising a feeding device for intermittently indexing a long-sized work piece, wound in a hoop, in the longitudinal direction, and a plurality of punch/die sets disposed in the feeding direction of the work piece and adapted to sequentially carry out deep drawing at least on the work piece, in which an annealing device adapted to allow the work piece to pass is provided between the deep drawing punch/die sets so as to subject the work piece to intermediate annealing treatment.

Abstract: One or more form descriptions are expressed in the form description language (FDL) and are entered into an FDL file. The FDL file is then registered with a dynamic forms software module using a dynamic forms API. Upon registration, the file is parsed and software "specification" objects containing a data from the file or added to the internal catalogue of compiled form descriptions. When the application requests a form to be displayed, the dynamic form software finds the entry for the form in the catalogue, constructs the form using the information from the specification objects, and displays the information to the user. The form construction process includes the selection of widgets, the binding of each widget to a data source, the layout and alignment of all widgets, and the construction of rule objects that respond to the users interaction with the form and validate the users input.

Abstract: A muzzle-loading or breech-loading rifle which comprises a bolt (27), which is mounted, rotating, on the rear of the receiver casing of the barrel and rotates between a position of opening and one of closing. In the bolt is mounted a percussion means (30), which is arranged in line with the barrel when the bolt is in the position of closing. A cocking mechanism (25) is mounted in the receiver casing (21') in parallel with the said barrel and turned towards the percussion means (30) when this is in line with the barrel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a management-capable splice cassette for the telecommunication and data technique, for receiving carrier shells for two glass fibers each. A housing is provided with a cable connection device and a carrier is connected to said housing. The carrier shells are connected to the carrier in a rotatable manner. The management-capable splice cassette is exchangeable with other splice cassettes and can in particular be inserted in prior art splice cassette housings instead of the conventional splice cassettes. The invention provides an available reserve length and a small constructional height as well as an economical and simple handling. The carrier shells are disposed in at least two adjacent receiving portions and stacked upon each other, each of carrier shells is rotatably supported into a latch position at one of their sides.

Abstract: A supply unit for supplying a workplace with electricity and/or gaseous media, with a first, vertically extending supply duct and a second, vertically extending supply duct, wherein the electricity and the media are led to connections on at least one of the supply ducts. From these connections the workplace is supplied and improved such that the ergonomically most favorable arrangement of the supply tubes and electric lines leading to the connections will be possible. This object is accomplished by a section of the side surfaces having an angle of inclination less than 90.degree. in relation to the base such that the ends of the side surfaces pointing away from the base can be connected at a common junction. The connections are arranged exclusively on the outer side surfaces and that the distance between the supply ducts is such that the workplace can be brought into the space between the supply ducts.
