Patent EP-1338127-A2 (EP)
Inventor: READ STEPHEN MICHAEL
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2001-11-29
Abstract: The present invention relates to a communications system for handling communications sessions, for example multimedia calls or voice calls. The communications system comprises a local terminal, an external server, a proxy interface agent (PIA) between the terminal and a shared network. The communication means includes a NAT function through which the communications session must pass. The communications session is carried over the network over one or more logical channels between the terminal and the external server, during which the first NAT function applies network address mappings on the terminal's transport addresses. The PIA acts on behalf of the terminal in communications with the external server, and establishes a logical channel on an outbound connection to the server that serves as a control channel between the PIA and the server. The PIA establishes dynamic outbound connections to the server, and in response to a request from the server or in response to a request from the PIA itself, makes one or more associations between the terminal's transport address(es) and identifiable logical channel(s) between the PIA and the server. These identifiable logical channel(s) are established on one or more of the dynamic outbound connections from the PIA to the server.

Abstract: A control system for a vehicle calculates a
desired driving force required by the vehicle in
response to operating conditions of the vehicle
including an amount of operation of an accelerator
pedal of the vehicle, and controls the driving force
of the vehicle, based on the calculated desired
driving force. The desired driving force is corrected
depending on whether the vehicle is in a particular
operating condition. For example, when the vehicle is
in a standing condition while traveling on a road
congested with traffic when the desired driving force
is corrected in the decreasing direction, the
correction amount of the desired driving force in the
decreasing direction is corrected to a value closer to
zero. The desired driving force is also corrected
according to a time period over which the particular
operating condition continues.

shaft (19, 20). The vacuum pump has an oil housing member
(14, 33), a stopper (67, 68, 72) and a circumferential wall
surface (702, 712). The oil housing member (14, 33) defines

and prevents oil from entering the pump chamber (39-43). The
center of curvature of the circumferential wall surface (702,
712) coincides with that of the rotary shaft (19, 20). The
circumferential wall surface (702, 712) surrounds at least a
part of the circumferential surface (671, 681, 721) of the
stopper (67, 68, 72) that is above the rotary shaft (19, 20).
The circumferential wall surface (702, 712) is inclined such
that the distance between the circumferential wall surface
(702, 712) and the axis of the rotary shaft (19, 20) decreases

implement for milking animals, such as cows, comprising a
milking machine having one or more teat cups provided with a
teat cup lining which separates the teat chamber from a
chamber in the teat cup, in which an alternating underpressure
can be applied, whereby, between the teat cup wall and the
teat cup lining, a teat cup includes at least two mutually
separated chambers, whilst an alternating underpressure can be
applied in at least one of these chambers. Connecting of the
teat cup proceeds in the following stages:
     in a first stage, in which a teat is partly sucked
into the teat chamber, an underpressure is applied
in the first (the upper) chamber, whilst the second
(the lower) chamber is kept at atmospheric pressure
and air is sucked via the milk line from the teat
chamber;   in a second stage, which is initiated when the teat
has been sucked so far into the teat chamber that
the pressure in the teat chamber decreases to a
predetermined underpressure value, the upper chamber
is brought to atmospheric pressure or to a slight
underpressure, whilst the lower chamber is kept at
atmospheric pressure;   in a third stage, the pressure in the upper chamber
is kept at or brought to atmospheric pressure,
whilst in the lower chamber an underpressure is
applied, which is approximately equal to the
underpressure established in the teat chamber.
