Abstract: A wide area paging system is disclosed in which paging messages input to the system in one local area can be broadcast to a receiver in any other local area without necessarily broadcasting the message in all areas. A local area clearinghouse in each area stores resident subscriber data including current location and receiver serial number. This data is used to transfer messages over a data network to the correct clearinghouse. The system uses a TDM data protocol. The data is encoded and transmitted at a very high rate (e.g., 19,000 baud) in short packets (256 bits/13 milliseconds) via stereo FM sidebands. Receivers are assigned to receive sequentially numbered time slots matching a portion of their address. The addresses of intended receivers are included in the data packets. Battery-powered receivers are deactivated between packets and reactivated in accordance with the sequential time slot number scheme to receive an incoming packet.

Abstract: Process for preparation of a correct reading image comprising(A) exposing imagewise to actinic radiation a photopolymerizable electrographic element comprising in order a temporary support, photopolymerizable layer, and a strippable cover sheet, the exposure being through the cover sheet;(B) stripping the cover sheet;(C) laminating the exposed surface of the photopolymerizable layer to a conductive substrate;(D) peeling off the temporary support;(E) charging electrostatically the exposed photopolymerizable layer to form a latent image of electrostatic charge on the exposed areas;(F) toning the electrostatically charged exposed imaged areas; and(G) transferring the toned image to a receptor support.Multiple copies can be produced with a single exposure. Overlay or surprint proofs can be prepared.

Abstract: A rupturable cover for a vehicle air bag compartment which includes two door sections connected by a rupturable membrane. Each door section includes a generally S-shaped hinge which allows the sections to pivot outwardly from each other when the rupturable membrane is ruptured to allow the exodus of the air bag. The cover may be mounted on an air bag module or on the dashboard of the vehicle by screws or heat staking.

Abstract: An automatic vortexing drive is described in which a rotatable coupling has a cuplike recess positioned off of and opening radially outward from the axis of rotation of the coupling. The coupling is positioned to intercept the lower and reaction vessels in the recess. Selective rotation of the coupling permits the vessels to pass the coupling or be engaged by the coupling and nutated.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for the measurement of the mass flow-rate of fluid flowing inside a pipe made to oscillate at a certain frequency and at a constant and controlled amplitude by an impulse-generating unit. The process consists of making the pipe constantly oscillate at exactly at its twisting resonance frequency, counteracting the pipe's oscillations with a plurality of brakes, exerting a braking force on the pipe which is proportional to the pipe's shifting speed and which force has an amplitude larger than the amplitude of the Coriolis forces acting on the pipe, detecting the pipe's motion at two points along the pipe symmetrically disposed about its middle and where the greatest twisting deformation occurs, and measuring, after all distrubances have been eliminated, the differences in the amplitude of these two shifts, these differences being directly proportional to the flow-rate.
