Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the optimal positioning of veneer sheets at a lay-up station, wherein the veneer sheets are attached for a veneer assembly composed of veneer sheets glued on top of each other. The method comprises determining an optimal position for each veneer sheet and a location for virtual alignment edges and laying up the veneer sheets as positioned in accordance with the virtual alignment edges, for a veneer assembly.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for receiving and positioning veneers fed by a conveyor belt. The apparatus includes grippers controlled to be independently movable, for gripping the veneers, and detection means for detecting the location and/or position of the veneers on a conveyor belt. At least one gripper is disposed on both sides of the feeding direction center line of the veneer. The grippers are arranged to reciprocate at least in the feeding direction of the veneers, to grip each successive veneer on its leading edge side, and to align the leading edge side of the veneer to correspond to the position of the veneer in the veneer assembly, in response to information provided by the detection means.

Abstract: A method for optimizing the operation of a gas generator having a housing part, at the upper end of which are elements for supplying fuel to a fuel compartment inside the housing part. The fuel descends by gravity onto a grate, a combustion zone being formed above the grate, with elements for supplying gasification gas thereto. The grate includes two concentrically arranged first and second grate parts, at least one of which grate part can be turned around an axis of rotation passing through a joint centre. The grate parts can be moved in the direction of the axis of rotation towards each other into their mutually interlocking position, and away from each other, into a position partly or completely out of the interlocking position. The grate parts move with respect to each other to regulate the flow of gases through the grate and/or the removal of ash.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for receiving and positioning veneers fed by conveyor means. The apparatus comprises means for gripping the veneers and means for detecting the location and/or position of the veneers on a conveyor belt. There is at least one gripping means on both sides of the feeding direction center line of the veneer. The gripping means are arranged to reciprocate essentially in the feeding direction of the veneers and to grip the veneer on its leading edge side and to position the veneer on the basis of the information provided by the detection means to the desired location in the feeding direction of the veneers.

Abstract: The invention relates to squeeze pressing of a laid-up veneer assembly having glue applied as glue stripes.

The transponder is activated by the mobile terminal with a wireless signal. In response, the mobile terminal receives at least the identifier and the content data from the activated transponder at the mobile terminal. From the received identifier and/or content data, the method and system select one or more of the stored data items according to one or more criteria.

Abstract: An apparatus for applying glue onto a moving, plane object comprises inlet pipes of the glues a dispenser extending across the path of travel of the object of the dispensing, dispensing nozzles of the glue and means for controllably opening and interrupting the glue flow to the nozzles. The means for interrupting the flow comprise a cylindrical case formed into the frame of the dispenser, extending along the total length thereof, inlet channels for the glue leading to the case, nozzle channels leading out from the case and a pipe element mounted into the case with a sliding fit, said pipe element being equipped with openings for forming a flow connection between the inlet channels of the glue and the nozzle channels in one position of the pipe element with respect to the frame and for closing said flow connection in the second position of the pipe element with respect to the frame.

Abstract: The invention provides enhancements to service discovery procedures associated with short-range communication in mobile terminals. In particular, the present invention employs a layered service discovery decision-making process that relies on historical information stored in the mobile terminal and mobile terminal analysis of the information associated with tag to make decisions regarding service discovery. As such, the present invention provides efficient service discovery that limits unnecessary connections to external servers and, thereby accelerates the overall service discovery process.

Abstract: An RFID system includes transponders transmitting or receiving packetized data in standard form in lieu of custom format for applications executable in a mobile device or network. Tag data may be packetized in any of several standard formats. Each format includes a layer to identify packet format. In one embodiment, a tag contains a standard UDP header with a checksum and payload data. The application opens a socket to listen to UDP connections. The device transmits a RF signal activating tags which transmit UDP packets to a RFID reader in the device. The packets are passed to an IP stack which strips away the UDP header and validity of the checksum verified. If verified, the device transmits the payload to an application running in the device or a network, otherwise, the IP stack notifies the tag the transmission failed and requests re-transmissions which are repeated until a successful transmission occurs.

Abstract: Apparatus for applying glue to veneer sheets comprises elements (6, 7, 8) for transporting veneer sheets (3), supported substantially in a horizontal position, to the gluing, a glue applying device (2) for administering glue onto the veneer traveling under it, as well as elements (9, 10, 11) for directing the glued veneers (4), supported substantially in a horizontal position, to a further processing, said conveying elements being located with respect to each other so as to leave in the direction of transport a transfer gap aligned with the glue administering device (2). The device further includes means for forcing the veneer to be glued and the glued veneer at its center portion in the direction of transport to a different level than the edge portions thereof in the direction of transport.

Abstract: An electronic service information data (including, e.g., an electronic coupon) is sent to a user in response to interaction at a merchant-media arrangement. According to one example embodiment, a user with a user-communications device views information conveyed by the merchant-media arrangement. In response to communication between the user-communications device and the merchant-media arrangement, the user-communications device and the merchant-media arrangement cooperate to generate a merchant-information-request signal that includes at least a merchant-media ID code for the merchant-media arrangement. The merchant-information-request signal is then used to generate a user-redeemable electronic service information that corresponds to the information conveyed by the merchant-media arrangement (e.g., via the merchant-media ID code). In a more specific embodiment, the electronic service information is sent in a Java Midlet that is downloaded for access and activation by the user.
