  • Patent number: 8681811
    Abstract: Techniques for use within computer systems that communicate with multiple different terminal systems using multiple different terminal protocols are disclosed. In one embodiment, a partial protocol converter module is installed in a computer server system to enable the computer server system to communicate with terminal systems that use terminal protocol other than the terminal protocol used natively by the computer server system. The partial protocol converter module directly accesses a screen buffer in the computer server system that is associated with the terminal systems that use terminal protocol other than the terminal protocol used natively by the computer server system. The partial protocol converter module detects updates to the screen buffer and encodes these display screen updates into a message using the native protocol used by the terminal system and then transmits that encoded message to the terminal system.

  • Publication number: 20100308546
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for holding tools (13) on machine tools, comprising a tool receptacle (1) and a tool holder (6). Clamping elements (4) are used for fixing the two parts. According to the invention, the device is configured in such a way that both the tool holder (6) of a first type and the tool holder (6) of a second type can be adapted. The tool holders (6) of the first type meet the HSK standard while the tool holders (6) of the second type, for the purpose of shortening the length, do not have any receptacle (11) for a clamping system as it is required for tool holders (6) of the first type.

  • Patent number: 7503626
    Abstract: A chair is provided which has a tiltable seat carrier and a tiltable backrest on the backrest carrier which are forcibly coupled to one another, and which has an individual adjustment feature for the tilt of the seat carrier in relation to the backrest carrier. Provided on the underside of the seat carrier is a bearing block having a slideway contour and a vertical slot in which the flange of a lifting element is mounted vertically movably, wherein the lifting element has a substantially triangular collar which slides on the substantially rectangular slideway contour when the flange moves vertically. The tilt of the seat carrier can be adjusted to be steeper or flatter by turning the lifting element, and the limit positions are completely stable such that the possibility of automatic unlocking is eliminated.

  • Publication number: 20090019277
    Abstract: A network terminal operated by a downloadable operating system is provided. In the network terminal, a power supply supplies a power to an element of the network terminal, a nonvolatile storage medium stores a basic input/output system (BIOS) that automatically operates upon the supplying of the power, a controller is initialized by the operation of the BIOS in order to enable a connection between the network terminal and a host computer and to enable a download of a terminal operating system (OS) from the host computer to the network terminal, and a volatile storage medium stores the terminal OS downloaded from the host computer.

  • Publication number: 20080174161
    Abstract: The invention provides an improvement to a chair which has a tiltable seat carrier (1) and a tiltable backrest (2) on the backrest carrier (5) which are forcibly coupled to one another, and to an individual adjustment of the tilt of the seat carrier (1) in relation to the backrest carrier (5). The improvement consists in the fact that there is provided on the underside of the seat carrier (1) a bearing block (10) having a slideway contour (14) and a vertical slot (13) in which the flange (9) of a lifting element (7) is mounted vertically movably, and the lifting element (7) has a substantially triangular collar (12) which slides on the substantially rectangular slideway contour (14) when the flange (9) moves vertically. This means that the tilt of the seat carrier (1) can be adjusted to be steeper or flatter by turning the lifting element (7), and the limit positions are completely stable. The possibility of automatic unlocking is ruled out.
