Abstract: A system and method for switching between multiple audio input signals to select one of the audio input signals as audio output signal are disclosed which include receiving the audio input signals, receiving a control signal, and switching controlled by the control signal from a first one of the audio input signals to a second one of the audio input signals. Prior to switching, the first one of the audio input signals is muted and upon switching, the second one of the audio input signals is unmuted in one of multiple unmute modes based on one or more signal parameters characterizing the second one of the audio input signals.

Abstract: A data communication method that compensates for a disadvantageous characteristics of a first protocol. A client application and a server application employ a second protocol (i.e., a TCP/IP protocol) that is mapped onto the first protocol. A data communication request is received by a SOCKS client in accordance with the second protocol. The request, after being redirected client to a client interceptor by the SOCKS using a SOCKS protocol, is intercepted by the socks CLIENT. The client interceptor maps the request onto the first protocol, after which the client interceptor sends the mapped request to a server interceptor. The server interceptor compensates a disadvantageous characteristic of the first protocol to ascertain that a connection or transmission capacity condition exists and then to eliminate the condition. The server interceptor then maps the request onto the second protocol, after which the server interceptor transmits the mapped request to the server application.

Abstract: Means and method of data communication compensating disadvantageous characteristics of a first protocol for data communication between a client-application and a server-application. Communication requests of the client application and the server application adhering to a second protocol are intercepted by an client interceptor and a server interceptor. Besides mapping the second protocol onto the first protocol and back again the interceptors compensate disadvantageous characteristics inherent to the first protocol or arising from the combination of protocols transparently.

Abstract: A flat-weft knitting machine for producing a weft-and-warp-knit fabric, e.g., a stitch knitting machine, employs a weft yarn insertion device, which moves backward and forward, for constantly guiding a continuous thread or yarn group. The insertion device transfers one weft yarn group of the yarn group to first and second weft yarn conveyor means. The weft yarn group is then separated from the insertion device and the yarn group. The weft yarn group thus has free ends at both ends and is then conveyed by the weft yarn conveyor means to a looping point, for connection with loop-forming warp yarns to form a fabric.

Abstract: An improvement in an apparatus for feeding shuttles into a spiral groove between nose-like projections of driving hooks on a weave cylinder in an automatic wave shed loom which apparatus has a feeding apparatus comprising a conveyor means for inserting the shuttles into the spiral groove, the improvement comprising a plurality of vertically disposed drive pins on said conveyor means which pins engage said shuttles positively and move them into said spiral groove.
