Abstract: A Video Conference Recorder (VCR) provided with integral input transcoders which convert received video call data into an intermediate format. Once the input transcoder has processed the data it passes it to a memory in the VCR where it is stored until a user requires it to be played back. If required the data can be converted into more than one output format using multiple input transcoders. On receiving a request to play back a recording the VCR locates the data in its memory and sends it to an output transcoder, integral to the VCR. If the stored data format is one that the endpoint can receive then the output transcoder transmits the data across the network to the endpoint. If, however, the endpoint cannot receive the stored data format then the output transcoder converts the data into a format which the endpoint can receive before onward transmission.

Abstract: A blind riveting tool of the type including a reuseable mandrel carrying a plurality of rivets to be successively set thereby. The rivets are advanced along the mandrel by causing air to flow through a sleeve to urge a leading one of the rivets beyond abutment members at the end of the tool. A catch having a finger is provided for urging the next to leading rivet and those behind it rearwardly so that the abutment members can close to embrace the mandrel behind the leading rivet without interference from the next one. The arrangement also facilitates reloading of the tool with another or the same reuseable mandrel when a new group of rivets is to be installed.

Abstract: A pull-to-set mandrel riveting tool is provided with mandrel-pulling jaws releasable from mandrel gripping relation, and a pivoted nosepiece assembly including openable rivet abutting means is thereupon movable to carry the mandrel to an out-of-the-way position wherein a rivet to be set can be loaded on the stem of the reusable mandrel. The tool is preferably operable by fluid pressure means, and a stop means is provided for insuring proper longitudinal re-positioning of the mandrel relative to mandrel pulling means. The construction facilitates manual or automatic loading of successive rivets on the mandrel.
