Patent number: 9834930Abstract: Glazings comprising first and second channel-section glazing elements are described. The first and second channel-section glazing elements are arranged to define a cavity in which is located an inner glazing element comprising a glass glazing element, in particular a soda-lime-silica glass sheet, channel-section glazing element or sheet of rolled glass having at least one fire polished edge. The inner glazing element divides the cavity into at least two spaces to improve the thermal and/or noise performance of the glazing. By using low emissivity coatings on one or more major surfaces of one or more of the glazing elements, the thermal performance may be further improved. Mechanical performance may be modified by the particular type of inner glazing element used. It is possible to retrofit existing glazings to improve the thermal and/or noise performance thereof.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2014Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignees: Pilkington Deutschland AG, Bauglasindustrie GmbHInventors: Thomas Braun, Christoph Claesges, Wolfgang Dutt, Kurt-Henrik Mueller

Patent number: 6257243Abstract: The invention relates to a coaxial smoking article, particularly a coaxial cigarette, comprising a coaxial rod of smokable material, which rod has an inner segment (1) of smokable material surrounded by a covering (2), around which covering is an outer segment (3) of combustible or thermally destructible/decomposable material, which outer segment is also surrounded by a covering (4). The combustible or thermally destructible/decomposable material of the outer segment contains no or only a very small proportion of spot-forming substances. Further, the coverings of the inner and outer segments are such that spot-forming substances in the inner segment are essentially unable to reach the outside of the covering. Hence, a cigarette having reduced potential for the production of spotting is so formed.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 1999Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: Brown & Williamson Tobacco CorporationInventors: Bernd-Henrik Müller, Adolf Schlüter, Werner Schneider, Christopher John Cook, Joseph Wanna, Frank Kelley St. Charles

Patent number: 5859855Abstract: A private communication system and an allocated, private communication terminal equipment that is not directly connectable, i.e. that is "external", has a respective terminal equipment emulation unit allocated to it. This terminal equipment emulation unit pair are connectable to one another at least via a public dialed communication network, where the connection of at least one message path and of an additional signaling path is controlled via the public dialed communication network and the switching of the paths suited to the terminal equipment emulation unit pair is checked. With the assistance of the terminal equipment emulation unit pair, isolated or external communication terminal equipment can be connected without diminishing the scope of performance features of private communication networks. Misconnections and false signalings are avoided by checking the connection suited to the terminal equipment emulation unit pair with the assistance of a specific check procedure.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 1996Date of Patent: January 12, 1999Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Henrik Mueller

Patent number: 5453984Abstract: Communication system for multi-service communication terminal equipment in local networks. A local network in which communication terminal equipment (KE; "multi media" communication terminal equipment) additionally having narrow-band and telephone services (SB, FE) are provided in addition to network-specific services is connected via an interworking unit (APE) to subscriber line interfaces (TAS) of a communication system (KA) having narrow band and telephone communication functions (SB, FE). As a result of the insertion of an interworking unit (APE) equipped with subscriber equipment (TLE), a matching unit (AE) and an access means (LANZ) onto the local network (LAN), the functions of both networks (narrow band and telephone network and local network LAN) are preserved largely unmodified and a maximally possible modularity and flexibility given the least additional outlay are achieved in structuring and formatting communication systems with "multi media" communication terminal equipment.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1993Date of Patent: September 26, 1995Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Henrik Mueller
