Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for providing reconfiguration of network elements after a failure of such an element. A method for managing network configuration data, i.e., usable for automatic reconfiguration of server computers (16A,16B), is disclosed in which location and current status information about a client or controller computer (14A . . . 14C) is sent out such that a respective server type computer (16A,16B) may receive it and automatically reconfigure itself after temporary disruption.

Abstract: The present invention relates to networked computer systems, and in particular to a method and system for improved update facilities for software programs installed on a subset of said networked computers. It is based on the concept that updating the supplier nodes and updating the dependent nodes have to be hierarchically separated from each other. The following sequence of steps is performed: selecting a first subgroup (20) comprising at least one dependent computer (24), selecting a second subgroup comprising at least one of the supplier computers (14) for providing the updated version means exclusively to dependent computers (24,26) until a predetermined condition has occurred, loading at least one computer (24) of the first subgroup (20) with an updated version means during continued operation of the unselected plurality of dependent computers (26,28,30) with a former version means.

Abstract: A hinge, particularly for a seat with an adjustable back rest, has two hinge parts and an adjusting and fixing transmission including an internal gear and a spur gear therebetween and an axle provided with an eccentric, wherein the spur gear and the internal gear are formed as cup-shaped members connected for joint rotation with the hinge part, and the cup-shaped member forming the spur gear has teeth on its outer surface, whereas the cup-shaped member forming the internal gear has teeth on its inner surface.

Abstract: A clock with a housing with quadratic or square cross-section in the plane of the dial plate and a holder for the detachable reception of the housing. At least one part of the holder is formed in the shape of a yoke having two spring arms between which the housing can be clampingly inserted, and at least the side surfaces of the housing and at least the free ends of the arms are provided with interengaging profiles for the detent connection of the holder and the housing.

Abstract: A longitudinal bearer support for a forward longitudinal bearer supported under angular bending at the end wall of a self-supporting motor vehicle body, whereby the end wall is locally bulged out in the direction of the vehicle end within the connecting area of each forward longitudinal bearer in such a manner that a form-rigid body results; each forward longitudinal bearer is forked in its approach at the form-rigid body and the resulting arms at least partially surround the form-rigid body; two arms are created by the forking which, extending either parallelly to one another or at an angle to one another, lead to the subfloor.

Abstract: The drill of the invention comprises a drill head having at least one guide pad, at least one outer cutting insert located at the periphery of the drill head surface and at least one inner cutting insert, having an active cutting edge, located nearer to the center of the drill head surface. The active cutting edge of the inner insert is situated within the outer edge of the guide pad or pads. Preferably, a plurality of cutting inserts are so arranged on the drill head that the resulting cutting force at all engaged inserts is on a level with the outer end of the guide pads.

Abstract: The invention concerns a cutting insert, having the shape of an isosceles triangle, which comprises a polygonal flat plate the top and bottom surfaces of which intersect with two edge surfaces of equal length to define main cutting edges, and at least one other edge surface adjoining said two edge surfaces at two cutting corners while intersecting with the top and bottom surface at right angles. The plate has the shape of an isosceles triangle the base of which is formed by said other edge surface. Secondary cutting edges are provided. The invention also involves a rotary milling cutter provided with a plurality of the cutting inserts.

Abstract: The invention concerns a cutting insert adapted for a cutting tool having mechanical insert-replacing mechanism. The insert has angularly interrelated side surfaces,- for resting in a corresponding V-shaped pocket in the cutting tool, said side surfaces extending parallel to the main cutting edge of the insert.

Abstract: A tool holder for clamping an apertured cutting insert in an insert-receiving site in a holder body a provision of a clamping pin rotatably and pivotally received in a bore in the holder while extending into the aperture of the insert. The pin is axially disposed in the holder and provided with a threaded portion engageable in a locking plate fixed in an enlarged portion of the bore. When the pin is screwed into the locking plate it pivots into a position wherein the plate abuts against a shoulder abutment in the bore while a portion of the pin projecting into the insert urges the latter against lateral abutment in the site.
