Portable telephone having a removable covering

Abstract: A portable telephone comprises a portable telephone body, and a body cover for covering the portable telephone body. The body cover is formed of a transparent acrylic resin and has the back side with various colors applied to, whereby the portable telephone can be used corresponding to scenes where the portable telephone is used. The body cover includes a battery cover unit which is independently removable, whereby it is not necessary to disassemble the entire body cover for battery replacement.

Landsat TM spectral information to enhance the land cover of Scotland 1988 dataset

Abstract: The Scottish Office's Land Cover of Scotland 1988 Survey (LCS88), was announced in May 1987 and was intended to provide the first-ever detailed census of land cover in Scotland. It came about as a result of increasing concern about the nature and rate of land use change in rural Scotland and the need to obtain objective baseline information on which to build and evaluate future countryside policy. One of the recommendations of a Scottish Office feasibility study carried out prior to the LCS88 survey, was that satellite remotely-sensed data should be considered for measuring landscape change in the future. This paper relates specifically to this recommendation and presents the results of an evaluation study to investigate the use of limited acquisition satellite imagery from Landsat Thematic Mapper, to derive a land cover classification and spectral segmentation information to enhance the existing LCS88 dataset. Although a successful land cover, primary as well as some individual cover features, was obtained from the satellite data, the overall accuracy comparison with the LCS88 cover features was limited. However, the opportunistic mapping of important agricultural crops and primary cover types, such as oilseed rape and forestry cover features, or the interpretation of some of the considerable confusion between semi-natural grassland and improved grassland cover features, provided for an enhanced LCS88 dataset. This was also true for the illustration of the considerable potential of a satellite classification and spectral data, for identifying the component parts of LCS88 Mosaic cover features and estimating vegetation quality.

There may be an insertion pocket of transparent plastic on the outside or inside of the cover for the insertion of a phone card.

Wireless selective call receiver operable in cover closing state

Abstract: A wireless selective call receiver includes a body section (21) composed of an display panel (10), a control section (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) having a memory (6) and built in the body section, and an operation unit (8), and a cover section (21) connected to the body section and composed of a cover (18) for protecting the display panel and a transparent window (19) provided in correspondence with the display panel such that a display on the display panel can be seen through the transparent window in a cover closing state that the cover section is closed. The control section controls the display panel in response to an operation of the operation unit such that a message data is displayed on the display panel. The operation unit is operable in the cover closing state. The operation units may include some switches (15, 16) or a single switch for achieving the functions of the switches.

Battery container and method of manufacture

Abstract: A container for a battery and a method for manufacturing such a container are provided. The container includes a housing; a cover adapted for attachment to the housing by crimping; and a gasket crimped to the cover and housing. One or more grooves are formed in the housing or cover or both. During assembly, the gasket is positioned between the cover and the housing, and a portion of the cover and a portion of the housing are crimped together causing the gasket to flow into and conform to the shape of the grooves. Placement of the gasket within the grooves increases the surface area of the resultant seal thereby improving the seal quality without significantly increasing the thickness of the battery or cell. In addition the grooves prevent the gasket from flowing out of the crimped seam and help to maintain the crimp pressure throughout the lifetime of the battery.

Loadcenter secondary decorative cover

A decorative cover is attached to the top of the primary cover for concealing the utilitarian appearance of the loadcenter cover. This decorative cover is typically flat and may either be painted or wallpapered to match the surrounding environment in which it is disposed.

Carrying device for a portable computer

Interlocking machine tool way cover

Abstract: A machine tool way cover to provide protection to a moveable machine tool which is provided with an interlocking feature to prevent misalignment or skewing of the actual way cover. The present invention provides a dramatic improvement over prior art machine tool coverings and way covers in that it eliminates the need for individual segments of the machine tool way cover to be manufactured to extremely tight physical tolerances by providing interlocking channels at the base of each way cover segment. The channels provide grooves within which the channels of smaller segments actually move as the machine tool and machine tool way cover move in and out. By providing such an interlocking mechanism, the machine tool way cover avoids becoming misaligned and inoperative even when objects or personnel impart substantial loads to the way cover. Moreover, by providing each segment with a pair of horizontally disposed channels, the need to provide a sealant between the back panel and each segment is eliminated in that the channels serve as a conduit to direct any liquid matter which falls on the way cover away from the actual machine tool.

Data communication method for transmitting document data from an external apparatus together with cover information to a plurality of communication partners

Abstract: Document data is transferred from a facsimile server 118 to a facsimile apparatus 201 to transmit the document data to a plurality of destinations via a communication line 116. The document data is stored in an image memory in the facsimile apparatus 201. A cover page specific to each of the destinations is input from the facsimile server 118 to the facsimile apparatus 201. The facsimile server 118 specifies IDs and the order of transmission of the files so that the cover page is transmitted first, followed by the document data, in a series of information. The facsimile apparatus 201 transmits them to the proper destination in accordance with the cover page. This process is repeated each time a cover page input is made until transmission to all destinations is completed. When document data from an external apparatus such as a computer transferred to the data communication apparatus such as a facsimile is transmitted to a plurality of destinations, the cover page specific to each destination is attached to the document data without unnecessary redundant proceeding.

Digital copying machine

Abstract: A digital copying machine of this invention provides a facsimile apparatus, a memory for storing data received by the facsimile apparatus having a capacity for storing a plurality of items of data, and a printer apparatus for selectively printing the data corresponding to only a cover page, contained in all the data items stored in the memory. The printer apparatus includes setting means for automatically setting a scale factor and performing synthetic printing when the data corresponding to only a cover page is output. The setting means includes calculating means for deriving an output scale factor based on the number of stored data items, and the size of paper. And the printer apparatus includes printing means for printing the data corresponding to only a cover page on two or more sheets of paper if a reducing factor of said data is smaller than a predetermined value.
