Granted: 2006-05-24
Abstract: A hydraulic coupling including a multi-plate clutch assembly operably connecting two relatively rotatable members and an actuator assembly for actuating the clutch assembly in response to speed differentiation between the two rotary members. The actuator assembly includes a hydraulic pump, a piston disposed in a piston chamber, and a fluid distribution system including a first flow path for supplying hydraulic fluid from a sump to the hydraulic pump and a second flow path for supplying hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic pump to the piston chamber. Hydraulic pressure in the piston chamber controls the magnitude of the clutch engagement force exerted by the piston on the clutch assembly. The fluid distribution system further includes a third flow path between the piston chamber and a clutch chamber. A control valve assembly is located in the third flow path and provides a flow control function for regulating the fluid pressure in the piston chamber and supplying fluid to the clutch chamber for cooling the clutch assembly. The control valve assembly also provides a pressure relief function for limiting the fluid pressure in the piston chamber to a predetermined maximum value, and a thermal unload feature for venting the piston chamber when the fluid temperature exceeds a predetermined maximum value.

Abstract: The method involves contacting by the train driver the railway manager at the central station for radio-based operations before starting off to organise the safety of track crossings. The manager at the centre for radio-based railway operations allows time -optimal switching of all track crossing points which are to be passed through by the train. Preferably, the necessary minimum approaching time to the first crossing point for the train and a list for the crossing points which are passed on the route are automatically determined, after the manager has entered the current location of the train.

Abstract: Dans un environnement d'intégration de la téléphonie à l'informatique (CTI), afin de réduire les risques d'enregistrement par inadvertance ou frauduleux de l'association du terminal informatique d'un utilisateur avec le mauvais téléphone, c'est-à-dire un téléphone autre que le téléphone adjacent au terminal informatique ou le téléphone mobile de l'utilisateur, un ordinateur hôte donne l'instruction à l'utilisateur, via une page écran, d'appeler un poste spécifique d'un autocommutateur privé (PABX) compatible CTI. Lorsqu'un appel à destination de ce poste est détecté, l'autocommutateur privé traite l'appel comme un appel auquel il a été répondu, et le signale à l'ordinateur hôte. L'utilisateur reçoit alors l'instruction de composer un mot de code, et à la réception de ce mot par l'autocommutateur privé et suite à l'information qui en est faite à l'ordinateur hôte, le téléphone est enregistré comme associé au terminal informatique, à condition que le mot de codé signalé corresponde au mot de code fourni par l'utilisateur. Un certain nombre de variantes et de perfectionnements permettent de garantir une meilleure sécurité contre les enregistrements frauduleux.

Abstract: The foregoing Detailed Description has disclosed to those skilled in the relevant arts how to make and use documents with authentication that withstands conversion between an analog form and a digital representation of the document, how to make and use digital representations with active watermarks, and how to make and use watermark agents, including mobile watermark agents and has further disclosed the best mode presently known to the inventors for making such authentications, making active watermarks, and making watermark agents. The disclosed techniques are exceedingly general and may be implemented in many different ways for many different purposes. For example, the authentication techniques may be based on any kind of semantic information and there are many ways of deriving the authentication information from the semantic information, placing the authentication information in the digital representation or the analog form, and comparing the authentication information. Similarly, the program code for an active watermark may be written in any programming language, may be in source or object form, and may, when executed, perform arbitrary operations. Watermark agents, too, may perform arbitrary actions and employ various techniques for sending messages and traveling from node to node in a network. The watermark agents can of course perform authentication information and can execute code from active watermarks. Since the techniques are so general and may be implemented in any number of ways, the Detailed Description is to be regarded as being in all respects exemplary and not restrictive, and the breadth of the invention disclosed herein is to be determined not from the Detailed Description, but rather from the claims as interpreted with the full breadth permitted by the patent laws.
