Abstract: Described is a technology directed towards providing a single page of data that when rendered (e.g., on a mobile device) displays combined content from multiple endpoints (e.g., corresponding to different messaging participants). Interaction with the page facilitates communication back to each endpoint. Bidirectional communication logic such as a messaging application provides the interactive page as a user interface. Content corresponding to each conversation is displayed in a separate area, which may include an interactive mechanism (e.g., a text input area and send mechanism) for sending a message to the messaging participant associated with that conversation. When content changes (e.g., following a page refresh), a change indication may be provided, such as by displaying a notification banner, and/or by changing the appearance (e.g., color) of changed message content.

Abstract: An open end rotor spinning machine with plural workstations each having a yarn spinning device, a yarn take-off mechanism loaded by a reversibly driven single drive and a winding device for producing a cross-wound bobbin. The spinning device has a spinning rotor, a fiber band opening roller and a single motor-driven fiber band feed cylinder. Each workstation (2) has a mechanism (10) for cutting to length a yarn (30) retrieved from the bobbin (22), a yarn storage mechanism (37) and a drive mechanism (7) for lifting the bobbin (22) from its drive roller (23). During the piecing process, a manually activatable control mechanism (9) activates the drive (19) of the yarn take-off mechanism (18), the drive (15) of the fiber band draw-in cylinder (14) and the drive mechanism (7) to lift the bobbin (22) according to a predetermined piecing program.

Abstract: An open end rotor spinning machine with plural workstations each having a spinning device for producing a yarn, a yarn take-off mechanism and a winding device for producing a cross-wound bobbin. The spinning device has a spinning rotor circulating in a spinning housing at high speed, a fiber band opening roller and a single motor-driven fiber band feed cylinder. The yarn take-off mechanism can be loaded by a single drive. Each workstation (2) has a mechanism (10) for defined cutting to length of a yarn (30) retrieved from the cross-wound bobbin (22), a storage mechanism (37) for receiving a specific yarn quantity and a drive mechanism (7) for lifting the cross-wound bobbin (22) from the bobbin drive roller (23). The drive (19) of the yarn take-off mechanism (18) can be reversibly driven.
