IPC: H01R13/627
Filed: 1997-10-29
Abstract: A retention device (24) for locking connectors (4,6) together comprises a collar (26) having integral locking lances (28) projecting obliquely through windows (30) in the collar.

Patent GB-2332343-A (GB)
Title: Transmission method with load dependent retransmission facility
Inventor: HOBSON PAOLA MARCELLA
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 1997-12-10
Abstract: In the present invention the opportunity of retransmission is only available when the load, i.e. the amount of information to be transmitted, is low enough to permit buffering of the information for a potential retransmission. Video information is compressed by an encoder 7 which is coupled to a buffer 16 and a load determinator 15. The load determinator measures the amount of information to be transmitted and compares it with a threshold. If the current load is below the threshold, the information transmitted is stored in the buffer and a message is sent with the next transmitted packet indicating that a retransmission is available if required. The station receiving this message either responds by specifying the information required or indicates either explicitly or implicitly that retransmission is not needed.

Title: Bandwidth allocation
Inventor: RAITH ALEX KRISTER
IPC: H04W36/22
Filed: 1996-10-18
Abstract: A method for reassigning mobile stations a new phase within a channel is disclosed.

Title: I.c. engine turbocharger with compressor by-pass
Inventor: PEPE ROSARIO
IPC: F02B37/16
Filed: 1999-05-25
Abstract: In a spark-ignition internal combustion engine with an exhaust-gas turbocharger, in the lower part-load mode a compressor bypass 6 of the inlet line 8 is opened, the said compressor bypass 6 bypassing the compressor 4. At the same time, the compressor 4 is driven, free of load, by the charger turbine 3 driven by exhaust gas and is kept in rotation. In the event of an increase in the operating load, the compressor 4, already rotating at high speed, can generate the desired boost pressure with a short response time. There is provision for monitoring the charger speed and for opening a turbine-bypassing bypass (waste gate) of the exhaust-gas line when a predetermined limit speed is reached, and for thus counteracting a load-free increase in speed of the turbocharger 2.
