  • Patent number: 6680941
    Abstract: A process for the control of forwarding packets of completed packet sequences of packet-switched networks as well as a software module, an interface, a terminal device, and a server for this purpose. In these packets of packet sequences, information is transported segmentally. First, that the authorization of a packet to be forwarded is tested by using the transported information of the packet by way of comparison with a certain criterion, at least whenever the packet belongs at the start of a packet sequence (C11A, C12A, C13A).

  • Publication number: 20030070410
    Abstract: A yarn splicing device with a splicing channel that can be charged with compressed air for the pneumatic connection of two yarn ends. The yarn splicing device has two rotatably seated prism elements, each of which is pivotable between a non-splicing position and a splicing position. The two prism elements are designed such that in the splicing position, a splicing channel is formed between them.

  • Publication number: 20030070411
    Abstract: A yarn splicing device (10) for pneumatically joining two yarn ends (31, 32), with a splicing head (19) that is fixed on a foundation (22) and comprises a splicing conduit (20) with at least one opening (34) for delivering compressed air. The splicing conduit (20) comprises at least two additional suction intake openings (33) that can be loaded with a vacuum and are arranged on both sides of the opening (34) for delivering compressed air.

  • Patent number: 6301250
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of operating an interface device (IWF) for connecting a first telecommunication subnetwork (ISDN) operated in synchronous time-division multiplex mode (ISDN) with a fixed assignment of time slots to transmission channels using a first signaling protocol (SI1), to a second telecommunication subnetwork (ATM) operated in a statistical multiplex mode (ATM) with a transmission capacity assigned to each connection by free agreement using a second signaling protocol (SA1), the interface device performing a conversion between the first signaling protocol and the second signaling protocol, wherein during each connection setup the signaling is converted in such a way that the number of transmission channels (Ch1, . . . Ch6; Ch20, . . .

  • Patent number: 6279213
    Abstract: A device (6) for holding and centering yam tubes (3) for processing while in a vertical orientation on transport disks (2), e.g., for removing a yam remnant (4) at a tube cleaning station. During such processing, the tubes are fixed in place by means of a height-displaceable centering arbor (12) coupled with a circuit arrangement which causes the operating height (h) of the centering arbor (12) to be automatically matched to the length of the respectively provided tube (3). An arresting arrangement (20) assure that the centering arbor (12) is securely fixed in place at each of its operating heights (h).

  • Patent number: 5535955
    Abstract: An apparatus for automatically forming yarn reserve windings selectively on either end of an empty tube prior to winding a yarn package thereon utilizes a threaded spindle and spindle nut assembly for supporting one of a pair of tube clamping plates for selective longitudinal displacement of a tube clamped therebetween during rotation of the tube to place the yarn reserve windings thereon. The hand of the threaded connection between the spindle and spindle nut determines the longitudinal direction in which the tube is displaced and, in turn, determines the end of the tube about which reserve windings are to be formed. In one embodiment, the spindle and spindle nut assembly are exchangeable for a like assembly formed with opposite threads, thereby to alter the longitudinal direction of tube displacement.
