Abstract: A cost recovery system for a multi-functional photocopier device comprising a plurality of workstations interconnected by a communications network, and a controller adapted to control the operation of the device, the controller being connected to the network. The cost recovery system further comprises at least one broker unit operative to communicate with the controller via the network. The broker unit being responsive to requests to reserve the device received from users at the workstations to authenticate the users and to establish temporary cost recovery relationships between the controller and the workstations. Accordingly, a user can reserve the device from any one of is the plurality of workstations and then walk up to the device and perform a job on the device on a basis of a specific cost recovery relationship established by the broker unit between the controller and the respective workstation.

Abstract: A fabric is provided comprising functional filaments, wherein each filament contains electrically conductive polymer material. In this way, the fabric is made conductive and has static dissipation properties comparable to metal-based fabrics. At the same time, the fabric also has desirable physical properties comparable to non-conductive synthetic fabrics.

Abstract: Briefly the invention relates to a flexible fabric for use as for example in a roll-up shutter with improved ballistic properties. More specifically, the present invention is directed to a ballistic fabric that is formed from a unique cabled yarn and allows less deformation on impact. The unique cabled yarn may be a metal reinforced aramid yarn for giving the fabric additional strength.

Abstract: The invention relates to an industrial fabric having means for seaming a fabric to form an endless loop and a plurality of non-continuous wear beads formed on the fabric proximally to a seam formed in the fabric which prevent wear to the components of the seam.

Abstract: A two-layer drum cover and a method of producing the same are provided. The two-layer drum cover includes a backing wire constructed of a relatively high grade metal alloy in the warp direction and alternating relatively low grade metal alloys in the shute direction. The two-layer drum cover also includes a face wire constructed of a relatively high grade metal alloy in the warp direction and alternating relatively low grade metal alloys in the shute direction. All the metal alloys used in the face wire have a higher grade than the metal alloys used in the backing wire.

Abstract: A side airnet cushioning and restraint device for a vehicle configured to be inflated and deployed on a side of a vehicle between a front pillar and a rear pillar of the vehicle via an inflator during a side impact accident, a rollover accident, or a side impact and a rollover accident, the side airnet comprising: an inflatable net operatively connected to the inflator having a top edge secured at a point above the vehicle's side windows and between the front pillar and the rear pillar, and a lower edge extending below the vehicle's side windows and between the front pillar and the rear pillar; a cable tensioner operatively connected to the inflater; a retention cable anchored at the front pillar and the rear pillar and fed through guides near the lower edge of the inflatable net and operatively engaged by the cable tensioner.

Abstract: A fabric having one or more guides attached to a wear surface of the fabric so to encapsulate fifty percent or more of the fabric caliper. Advantageously, the encapsulation of the fabric by the guide, and not the chemical affinity of the materials, is the mechanism that attaches the guide and fabric. Consequently, the bond strength is equal to the tear strength of either the fabric or guide material alone.

Abstract: A belt suitable in a brownstock washer machine and a method of producing the same are provide. The belt is produced from a high-density multi-layer woven fabric, which is preferably made using an eight-shed weave pattern. The fabric provides high fiber support via a high warp-density/long-warp-float while achieving high drainage/resistance-to-sealing through increased void volume.

Abstract: A disbursement tracking system for validating and controlling the usage of output devices on which costs are incurred. The disbursement tracking system includes a processing unit for receiving input signals conveying data associated with a document a user desires to generate on an output device. The processing unit is operative to extract document print information and device information from the input signals and to generate an output signal on a basis of the document print information. On a basis of the device information, the processing unit determines the status of the output device. If the status of the output device does not require cost allocation data, the output signal is transmitted to the output device without modification. If the status of the output device requires cost allocation data, the processing unit is operative to retrieve from the user, and attempt to validate, the cost allocation data.

Abstract: A submersible rotary switch protects against moisture contamination and includes a housing containing an actuating mechanism and an oppositely disposed contact device confined in a contact compartment statically sealed by a flexible boot. A driver disposed between the compartments connects the actuating mechanism to the contact device to effect rotational translation therebetween.

Abstract: A rotary switch having a terminal base molded on a lead frame which includes internal contacts and external terminals, along with the connecting straps between them, all formed of a single metal part. Portions of the metal of the lead frame are selectively removed in order to create a variety of switch configurations. Different switch actuating rotors are provided which further allow creation of different switch modes (single throw, double throw, etc.). The rotor is also provided with detents in order to allow for retention and indexing of the switch positions. A ramp may be selectively installed into the rotor to eliminate unwanted detent positions without requiring a different rotor. One or more "floating" movable contact elements complete the circuits when the rotor allows a respective spring to force a floating movable element into contact with both of a corresponding pair of stationary contacts of the terminal base.
