Abstract: A tool arrangement for the manufacture of ring-shaped compacts using a rotary compression press wherein the rotary compression press has a rotatably driven die-plate having die holes in which die inserts are mounted, and upper and lower rams aligned towards the die inserts and rotating together therewith, which are moved by control portions towards each other or away from each other and wherein the bottom rams have a coaxial bore open to the operating end in which a central pin is disposed which is axially located relative to the die-plate by a transverse pin wherein the transverse pin extends through an axial slot of the lower ram, wherein the transverse pin is located in a ring which forms part of a guide bore for the lower ram which is formed in a radially outwardly facing projection of the die-plate, two bracket-shaped retaining clips are disposed on opposed sides of the lower ram a longer leg of which abuts against the underside of the ring and a short, second leg of which is bent over the projection, a

Abstract: A technique for accessing a subject multi-dimensional database stored on a data store connected to the computer. An index is created for the subject multi-dimensional database, wherein the index comprises another multi-dimensional database. Then, the subject multi-dimensional database is accessed using the index.

Abstract: A die for a rotary compression press, comprising a die holder axially supported in a guide bore and a die insert which is seated in the end-side bore of the die holder via a trunnion-shaped projection and is adapted to be mounted via releasable fastening means, wherein the projection is helically guided in the bore between axially spaced stops and is biased by a spring towards the associated front-end face of the die holder.

Abstract: A method for detecting deviations in a database is disclosed, comprising the steps of: determining respective frequencies of occurrence for the attribute values of the data items, and identifying any itemset whose similarity value satisfies a predetermined criterion as a deviation, based on the frequencies of occurrence. The determination of the frequencies of occurrence includes computing an overall similarity value for the database, and for each first itemset, computing a difference between the overall similarity value and the similarity value of a second itemset. The second itemset has all the data items except those of the first itemset. Preferably, a smoothing factor is used for indicating how much dissimilarity in an itemset can be reduced by removing a subset of items from the itemset. The smoothing factor is evaluated as each item is incrementally removed from the itemset, thereby allowing a data item to be identified as a deviation when the difference if similarity value is the highest.

Abstract: A system for checking the spelling of words and character strings without the need for a stored dictionary of words and the memory required thereby. The system selects an error-free string and modifies it according to one or more rules which change the error-free string to a possible error string. The rules creating the possible error string can modify the error-free string by predictable character manipulation to yield usual and common errors of the character string. The frequency of occurrence of both the error and error-free strings within the text are determined. These frequencies are compared to each other and, based upon the comparison, the system decides whether the possible error string is an actual error string. The system can use modifying rules which are psychological or technically related to the computer system or operator, and rules which correspond to errors common with specialized input methods, such as character and speech recognition.
