Abstract: A framework for use with object-oriented programming systems provides a common message processing system structure that can be placed on any OOP platform and be configured to support any e-mail message protocol standard or specific mail server function. The framework defines an e-mail message as a number of distinct objects, each of which contains information that describes some portion of the message. All messages received by a system in which the framework is implemented are defined on this core object structure. Another set of objects and methods define the processing steps required for a mail server to process a message. A message is received as a class of message objects, which are assigned a message type that determines the subsequent processing steps to which the message object is subjected. As a message is processed, the objects of which it is comprised are changed, so that the message processing can be interrupted and then resumed without loss or duplication of processing steps.

Abstract: AS/400 POP3/MIME clients that are making use of the POP3 server support move mail through a SNADS network to other POP3 clients. The messages sent between these clients make use of an existing SNADS network without having to resort to converting or mapping or breaking apart an ASCII SMTP/MIME text message to an equivalent OfficeVision/400 format. Likewise, non-text SMTP/MIME messages or attachments sent this way do not need to be mapped to OfficeVision/400 PC file objects. This is accomplished by encapsulating the SMTP/MIME message in an AS/400 Object Distribution as a specific database object. Once encapsulated, the SMTP/MIME message is an object distribution message as far as any reference to that message made by any SNADS function anywhere in the SNADS network.

Abstract: There is provided a process which comprises the step of subjecting a just produced spunbond web to a high flow rate, heated stream of air across substantially the width of the web to very lightly bond the fibers of the web together. Such bonding should be the minimum necessary in order to satisfy the needs of further processing yet not detrimentally affect the web. The fibers of the web may be monocomponent or biconstituent and the web should be substantially free of adhesives and not subjected to compaction rolls.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for reducing a nonwoven fabric to flakes which can be recycled into the spinning system of a meltblowing, spunbonding or carding process. The process according to this invention is a noncontact one, involving the use of a hot air knife. The hot air knife emits a jet, or stream, of heated air under pressure at a high flow rate. A nonwoven fabric is contacted with the jet of air and as a consequence, the nonwoven web is physically broken into small pieces, or flakes. The resultant flakes are brushed off the conveyor and collected in a reclaim hopper; they are readily reprocessable due to their small size.

Abstract: A flapper actuated pilot valve is shown is which the output pressure from the valve is dependent upon and proportional to the force exerted by the flapper. The valve includes a valve body with upper and lower chambers and an interconnecting gas passage. A spring-biased poppet in the lower chamber has a primary sealing surface for sealing off the lower chamber and a secondary sealing surface which is contacted by a flapper element located in the upper chamber. The flapper element has an interior bore leading to an exhaust port in the upper end of the flapper element which extends through an opening in the valve body. The flapper element also extends through a central opening provided in a cupped seal in the upper chamber. The cupped seal and primary and secondary sealing areas of the flapper element cooperate to provide and outlet gas pressure which is proportional to the external force supplied by the flapper upon the flapper element.

Abstract: A security system includes a microcomputer with an auxiliary read-only memory and a key device including a similar read-only memory, each of the read-only memories containing corresponding pluralities of corresponding binary combination codes. Under the control of the microcomputer the codes are read and compared. If the combinations and the sequence do not compare, the system will not unlock and an alarm will be generated. The read-only memories are of the programmable type, so that changes in the combinations and sequences can be accomplished easily. A plurality of visual indicators and an audible alarm provide the user and personnel in the secure area with information concerning the status of the system.

Abstract: An illuminated safety helmet is disclosed, which contains a battery powered rotating light source. Rotation of the light source produces a periodic blinking and/or color variation in order to enhance the visibility of the wearer under night time or other poor visibility conditions. The rotating light source is contained in a bubble-like protrusion at the apex of the helmet. A reflective partition separates the light source into two halfs.
