A transferring apparatus and a transferring method are disclosed for pressing a transferring member against a three dimensional material. Fluid pressure is applied to a sheet which press the transferring member against and cause it to conform to the three-dimensional configuration of the material. Thus, the pattern of the transferring member can be easily and reliably transferred to the material (1) even though the material has the three-dimensional configuration.

Method and apparatus for transferring encoded information from one or a first identification device to another or second identification device, the apparatus having relatively displaceable jaws actuated by oppositely extending handles, the lower jaw receiving and securely holding the first identification device in exposed relation to the upper jaw, and the upper jaw receiving and securely holding the second identification device, a plurality of punch pins being carried by and selectively displac...

The present invention relates to a letterpress for transferring on which a dot-like fine form plate surface is formed closely resembling a photoimage, and to a method of transferring by use of the letterpress for transferring. The letterpress is formed by exposing a photosensitive resin through a photofilm to a parallel light to harden the film of the photosensitive resin corresponding to the lightscreening area of the photofilm. The area of the photo resin other than the hardened film is then r...

Apparatus for transferring partly formed soft packs of cigarettes, the adhesive in whose folded bottom ends may not have fully set, comprises a pair of air cylinders 54,56 which are pivotally mounted for alternately swinging into successive open-sided pockets 20 of a drying drum 12. As a soft pack 16 on a pack-forming drum 10 is stripped off its mandrel 14 by a pusher 62, one of the two cylinders engages its bottom end and maintains slight compression of the end during transfer. Meanwhile the ot...

A transferring apparatus wherein on a carrier moving along a transferring passage, there is disposed a moving frame which is movable in both directions across the moving direction of the carrier, at each of the two sides of the carrier, there is arranged at least one (n=1, 2, 3, - - -, and so on) belt supporting member, and on the moving frame, there are borned as many (=2n) rollers as the total number of the belt supporting members in a manner to correspond to the members. In the upper portion ...

Apparatus for transferring workpieces delivered at random to a supply conveyor are transferred to a discharge conveyor to be deposited thereon in regular spaced relation by tong-like grippers which are carried by a rotatable turn-table conveyor disposed above the supply and discharge conveyors. The grippers descend to grip a workpiece arrested by a stop at the output end of the supply conveyor and when the workpieces are gripped the grippers and workpieces are raised for movement by the turn-tab...

According to t...

A device for transferring a fluid product from one container to another including a hollow needle suitable for piercing a membrane and having a first, front opening, the needle being connectable to one of the containers via a first, rear hollow needle opening so that the fluid product can be conveyed into or out of the container through the hollow needle and hollow needle openings, the needle having a second, rear opening which forms a fluid connection between the another container and a pressur...

A method is provided for inquiring about information relating to a mobile terminal of a cellular network, from a messaging server external to the cellular network. An inquiry is sent from the messaging server to the cellular network, comprising an external first identifier for identifying said terminal. In the cellular network the first identifier is mapped to a second internal identifier. The information relating to the terminal (MS) is determined with the aid of said second identifier and a re...

Systems and techniques for transferring one or more files by connecting to a communications system host; sending, to a client connected to the communications system host, a request to transfer one or more files; when a client permits access to the one or more files, establishing a direct socket connection from the client and bypassing the communications system host; and initiating the transfer of the one or more files from the client over the direct socket connection.
