Abstract: An apparatus for producing an adhesive-bound printed product comprises an endlessly circulating transport system where a transport clamp holds a clamped-in printed product with the aid of a first adjusting mechanism that generates a first movement component while the printed product circulates through the apparatus. To favorably influence an opening and/or closing movement depending on the printed product), the apparatus comprises a second adjusting mechanism to be selectively activated and to generate in an activated position a second movement component that acts upon a swivel arm. The second movement component is oriented counter to an upward movement of the control arm induced by the first movement component. The counter-oriented movement components are compensated via a second mechanical spring which supports the swivel arm relative to the control arm.

Abstract: A shield assembly for a shaft includes a first tubular section having a first end and a second end and a second tubular section having a first end and a second end. The first and second tubular sections are each hollow receiving the shaft. The first tubular section includes a first outer diameter and the second tubular section includes a second outer diameter, the first outer diameter being greater than the second outer diameter. The first tubular section and the second tubular section are telescopically coupled to one another where the second tubular section is movably disposed at least partially within the first tubular section.

Abstract: A device for cutting plane material sheets (1) to a sectionally concave contour by separating several discontiguous sections (2, 3), with at least two cutting units (4) that respectively feature a knife (6, 8) and a cutting bar (7, 9) and can be positioned relative to one another by adjusting devices (11, 12, 13, 14) such that format adjustments and corrections can be realized without tool change.

Abstract: A security system includes modular components, such as cameras and controllers, controlled by a software application. The modular components are used to customize a security system capable of controlling assorted household and/or building functions. The modular security system has the added benefit that future expansions or functionalities are easily added to the existing system.

Abstract: A video surveillance system includes one or more cameras communicatively coupled to a control system via a dual use medium. The video surveillance system includes a setup mode, a live viewing mode, a record mode, and a search/playback mode, some of which may operate simultaneously. In a live viewing mode, a user can view video data from one or more cameras using a graphical user interface. In the record mode, a user can independently set the record modes and schedules of the cameras, specify multiple motion detection zones per camera, and record in panic mode. In the search/playback mode, a user can search for and view, previously recorded video segments and perform file operations on the recorded video segments.

Abstract: A network security system designed to provide per-packet encryption based on an encryption key identifier and an associated encryption key. Packets or groups of packets are encrypted based on information that relates to the packet such as service type, network number, and the like. This encryption criterion is associated with an encryption key and encryption key identifier. When a packet contains the certain criteria, the packet is encrypted using the encryption key. The packet is sent across the network using the encryption key identifier and the encrypted payload. The targeted nodes decrypt the packet using the reverse process.

Abstract: This invention allows a video network camera to be mounted directly against a window or other transparent surface without any additional mounting hardware. The network camera can be mounted both inside and outside of a window without additional mounting hardware. A novel mounting apparatus in conjunction with an adjustable video sensor allows the user to quickly mount and make adjustments to the viewing angle of the network camera, thus reducing installation time and installation costs. In addition, the network camera can be mounted to walls, ceilings and other surfaces as necessary by using a second mounting assembly.

Abstract: A data networking system and method which allows efficient use of bandwidth for data streams such as video and audio. This invention allows network nodes to dynamically identify changing network conditions which are typical on wireless and power line networks. The system and method dynamically adapt to the changes which affect network bandwidth by changing compression rates, compression types, audio/video quality, motion masks, throughput for specific connections, or mass storage of data streams until the network is capable of sending the data. The result is an improved system that requires little or no user intervention as network conditions change.
