Abstract: To promote efficient transmission of presence update information to a presence service client (135) associated or integrated with a communication client such as an instant messaging (IM) client (134), a separate computing device (50) may be notified when the communication client becomes dormant. The separate device (50) may buffer presence updates destined for the communication client, each presence update containing information regarding availability of at least one of a set of contacts for intercommunication via said communication client (134). When the separate device (50) learns that either the communication client (134) has ceased being dormant or that an event has occurred which shall cause the communication client (134) to cease being dormant, the buffered presence updates (54) may be sent to the presence service client (135). Presence updates within the buffered set (54) may be reconciled to eliminate obsolete information. The result may be a conservation of wireless connection bandwidth or reduction in device power consumption.

Abstract: A connector arrangement comprises a displacing mechanism (31, 40) for displacing an actuator plate (27) downwardly to press cable conductors into insulation-piercing engagement with the associated respective electrical contacts (9). The displacing mechanism includes a wedge (30) between the actuator plate and a housing cover (28) and operable by the actuator plate during the initial displacement of the cover from a partially displaced position from the base toward a position over the base to displace the cable downwardly into insulation-piercing engagement with contact knife edges. A connector arrangement for connecting an insulated conductor (3) of a flat multi-conductor cable (2) with a tapped-off branch conductor comprises a housing base (6) including a rectangular base (8). Insulation-piercing electrical contacts carried by the base extend upwardly from the base upper surface. The upper extremities of the contacts have knife edges. A horizontal actuator plate is connected with the base for displacement between an upper position above the contacts toward a lower position adjacent the contacts. The spacing distance between the actuator plate and the contacts is greater than the thickness of the flat cable to permit the longitudinal horizontal introduction of the flat cable between the actuator plate and the contacts with the conductors of the cables above the contacts, respectively. A displacing mechanism for displacing the actuator plate downwardly to press the cable conductors into insulation-piercing engagement with the associated respective contacts includes a housing cover arranged horizontally above and spaced from the actuator plate. A connector connects the cover for longitudinal sliding displacement relative to the base between a partially displaced position from the base and a position over the base. A wedge between the actuator plate and the cover is operable by the actuator plate during the initial displacement of the cover from the partially displaced position to the position over the base to displace the cable downwardly into insulation-piercing engagement with the contact knife edges. Branch conductors are connected with the contacts, respectively.

Abstract: A relief valve in particular for relieving the super-atmospheric pressure in a tank for combustible liquids and comprising a pilot valve unit (6) with an inlet opening (9) and an outlet opening (10). By a predetermined, adjustable super-atmospheric pressure in the tank, the pilot valve unit (6) opens and allows a gas flow from the inlet opening (9) to the outlet opening (10), which on the one hand boosts the valve to open quickly and, on the other, entails that a chamber (15) is evacuated of gas. The chamber (15) is closed by a membrane (3) which controls a valve body (2) towards or away from a valve seat (1) to the effect that it is possible to allow or block a flow of gas between a space (13) and a relief passage (5). According to the invention the relief passage (5) is open towards the open via an excess-pressure valve (11), and the outlet opening (10) of the pilot valve unit (6) is connected to the relief passage (5). By those measures an improved booster effect as well as a higher degree of safety that a fire cannot transplant from the outside and into the relief passage (5) and the cavity (13) are accomplished.
