Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling the dissemination of data from a repository based on the substitution of content contained within a generated response. The systems and methods are used by the repository to allow for the transfer of data that is not known or anticipated until the time of an access. For each access whose intent is to provide data to the repository or to retrieve variable data held by the repository, the repository uses the systems and methods to manage novel information structures whose purpose is to facilitate the substitution of the variable portions of content and to apply a privilege value to the portions that are variable. Using the concept of a “notational fragment”, the systems and methods are capable of assembling a variable result that has interaction with a data source.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling the dissemination of data from a repository based on request mechanisms that are transparent to the requestor and the connection conveying the requests. The systems and methods are used by the repository to enforce one or more rule sets that implement varying levels of access privilege created by the repository designer. For each user requesting access to privileged data, the repository uses the systems and methods to manage novel information structures whose purpose is to apply the rule sets to the requestor's session. By incorporating into each request, a set of values herein named a “forresta” and a “destination”, the systems and methods exercise control over data access, assemblage and presentation. In addition, the systems and methods provide that clients require no enhancements to well-known methods or systems used to facilitate communications with repositories employing this invention.

Abstract: The slide projector (4) for single-slide, lap-dissolve or stereo projection, which works on the gravity feed principle, is designed for operation with linear slide trays (1, 2) divided into compartments. At the top, it has either two receptacles for slide-tray covers (2, 5) or one receptacle (4g) and one cover (4h) integral with the housing of the projector. When being placed on the projector, the slide tray is automatically unlocked, so that the housing of the tray becomes shiftable. Switching means ensure that the projector cannot operate until the slide tray is properly positioned. The projector also has a variable electronic light intensity control facility. It initiates no projection when a tray compartment is empty.The slide tray (1, 2) is so designed that slides are loaded into the housing (1) of the tray from above in an upright and laterally correct image position; the housing (1) is then closed with the cover (2). During projection, the cover forms the bottom of the slide tray.

Abstract: The device disclosed involves an integration of a plurality of elements which automatically unreel rigid or semi-rigid coaxial cable; straightening the cable; feed a predetermined length into a cutting and scoring machine which serves to cut the end of a previously scored piece of coaxial cable and simultaneously scores the next advancing piece. Adjustable features are included to take into account the varying diameters of the coaxial cable, the length of the piece desired to be cut and scored, and the depth of the scoring. As each piece is cut from the continuous supply of coaxial cable, having been previously scored, that piece is forced, by the advancement of the next piece, into an output hopper.

Abstract: A device and method is disclosed for achieving true color picture display during the warm-up phase as well as during the operating phase of a color television picture tube. The device is a screen-coating lens which has been corrected so as to assure that the light source, when exposing the phosphor materials, will correspond to the point of maximum arching of the shadow mask. The method involves exposing the phosphor dots through a corrected lens which takes into account the maximum arching of the shadow mask during the warm-up phase of a color television.

Abstract: A method is described of increasing the proportion of chemical vapor reaction deposited material to substrate material in a silica optical fiber preform. The deposited material is deposited upon the bore of a silica substrate tube whose bore is then collapsed to form the preform. The preform is then heated to cause some of the surface of the preform to be driven off by volatilization in order to increase the proportion of chemical vapor reaction deposited material to substrate material up to a predetermined value.

Abstract: This application discloses cable length measuring apparatus for accurately determining the length of cable at spaced locations by utilizing at least two sets of measuring devices driven by the cable. Electronic switching means receive the length data from each of the measuring devices and processes that data into a command to a cable length marking means. The circuitry of the switch means automatically determines the most favorable instant to cause switching of the measurements of one of the measuring devices to create the command to the marking device to the other of the measuring devices in order to avoid any damage to the cable's jacket because of the switching between the two measuring devices.

Abstract: A pressure responsive valve for distributing the fluid under pressure delivered by a fluid pressure source to two user components, one of which is connected to an accumulator. The device includes a control valve which is disposed in a line connecting the fluid pressure source with a first user component and governs the cross-section of the passage in that line. The control valve has a control chamber and cross-section reducing member when the control chamber is in communication with the fluid pressure source. When the control chamber communicates with the return line the cross-sectional area of the passage increases. In addition a pilot and/or stop valve is included which changes its position depending upon the pressure existing in the line connecting the fluid pressure source with the second user component.

Abstract: A method and means is disclosed for continuously monitoring an optical fiber's attenuation or loss as it is being formed, which includes: a light source, which may be the heated fiber itself during drawing operations or an external source; passing the light through the fiber being produced; positioning the end of the fiber in a holder adjacent to a light detector, for example a photodiode with or without passing the transmitted light through a filter; detecting the light transmitted by the fiber from the light source; converting the detected light into an electrical equivalent signal; amplifying the signal if necessary and recording or observing the changes in the signal to determine an objective measure of the optical fiber's attenuating characteristic.

Abstract: To a breader conveyor there is added a plurality of restrained flow cascading tumbling conveyors positioned to produce roughness of the breading. Slip plates at the terminal portions of the conveyors act to restrain the free flow of the battered and flour breaded chicken until pushed off onto a following conveyor. The breaded chicken in excess flour tumbles from one conveyor to another to produce a rough, flaky breading texture. The breaded chicken is then separated from the excess flour by an output wire conveyor and is fried or cooked in the conventional manner.

Abstract: A pressure control arrangement for hydraulic brake systems including a plunger piston which is sealingly slidable with a bore and which defines a chamber connecting with at least one brake cylinder. The chamber is connected with a brake pressure source through a valve which is kept in the open position by a connection to an auxiliary pressure source which prevents the valve from reaching or maintaining its closing position when the auxiliary pressure has failed. The auxiliary pressure is controllable for effecting an anti-skid control for which purpose the auxiliary pressure source is connected with a control chamber which is opposite the valve chamber connected to at least one wheel brake cylinder through at least one auxiliary valve.

Abstract: Suspension elements for the electrodes in a multibeam electron gun, especially for a color television picture tube, having a novel construction are provided which cause their associated electrodes to either rotate about their axes or to remain in position to compensate for convergence drift during the warm up phase of the tube's operation.

Abstract: The apparatus for producing raised markings on a cable's plastic jacket disclosed provides for at least one drum shaped marking member, which may be driven by the cable itself or, if there are a pair of such drums, at least one is driven by means of a stepper motor which is controlled synchronously with the cable take-off speed. The drums are vertically adjustable and mounted on swivel arms carried on a carriage. Pneumatic means are employed to force the drum or drums against the moving cable with a predetermined pressure. Depressions corresponding to the desired markings are formed in the circumferential surface of the drum. As the drum or drums rotate a powder filled container or filling head is pressed against them so that powder is picked up in the depressions and carried by the drums into contact with the cable. When the powder filled depression area of the drum contacts the cable, which is still hot, the powder will fuse with the material of the cable's jacket and form a raised marking.

Abstract: This invention relates to a chatter-free arrangement of masses especially for such a chatter-proof arrangement in electrical switches and mechanical interrupters of current of all kinds. The arrangement of masses disclosed is constructed so that the kinetic energy of the two masses of pushing partners being pushed is absorbed by additional damping masses arranged in the direction of the push. The mass of the following mass or masses, in the direction pointing away from the two primary masses of the pushing partners is constructed to that the additional and successive mass or masses is decreasing and in that same direction the elasticity and the energy loss factor and, or the mobility of the additional masses is increasing. Such decreasing masses permit lighter chatter-free constructions and permits not only stationary parts but also moving parts to be provided with chatter-free arrangements, especially for example in electrical contacts.

Abstract: A braking system provides for a master cylinder of the tandem or split type connected through a control pressure device to the wheel cylinders of brakes for at least one of the wheels which includes a modulating valve controlled by the master cylinder pressure which provides an auxiliary pressure obtained from a source of brake fluid under pressure. The modulating valve feeds through a control valve which is under the control of an electronic anti-skid device. Thus, the modulating valve controlled by the master cylinder's pressure through the control valve effects the operation of the pressure control valve and applies the brakes of the vehicle.

Abstract: A straining filter which has an opening at the highest point of the filter dome is inserted in the pipe which supplies the spray nozzles and is further connected to the opening of an additional pipe. Spray nozzles acted on by an electrical field supply colored marking rings to a cable or wire. The material to be sprayed is held in the storage tank and is transferred by a gear pump through a buffer vessel and into a pipe. Inserted in the pipe is a double walled straining filter whose outlet is connected to a pipe running to the spray nozzles, with a valve and a pressure gauge inserted between the straining filter and each spray nozzle. Any gas bubbles introduced into the straining filter with the color material gather at the highest point of the filter dome and are carried away therefrom.

Abstract: A digital phase-locked loop for speed measurement, in particular for use in antiskid control systems, for the conversion of the frequency of an input pulse sequence, proportional to a speed, into a digital numerical value to be used in the digital arithmetic unit for an antiskid control system is provided wherein there is a certain numerical value which will always be the same which is allocated to any input pulse sequence and which can be applied to a first storage register and added to the contents therein. At regular intervals, determined by a clock generator, a positive digital output numerical value is generated by a detector if the content of the first storage register is above a predetermined upper limit and a negative digital output numerical value will be generated if the contents of the first storage register are below a predetermined lower limit.

Abstract: An electronic arrangement for generating, from a reference value proportional to the rate of movement, for example, from an a.c. voltage generated by a means of a tachometer generator, two a.c. voltages which can be shifted in phase with respect to each other by a constant frequency-independent amount. An arrangement is provided in which a variable input a.c. voltage is changed to a triangular voltage of constant amplitude and proportional in frequency to the a.c. voltage. There is a first square-wave voltage derived from the triangular voltage and the triangular voltage is inverted. The inverted and uninverted triangular voltage are each applied to one input of two comparators and a manually variable d.c. voltage is applied to the second input of each comparator. The d.c. voltage is manually variable between the maximum and minimum amplitudes of the triangular voltage.
