Abstract: At the forward end of the boot sole are components engaging in mating ones of the binding (10) so as to form a hinged joint. Those on the sole includes a transverse spindle parallel to the ski running surface and over which a holding component (13) of the binding fits. A hand lever (15) on the binding moves the component between the locked and free positions, and a flexible component (16) acts between the sole forward end and the binding so as to exert a return force on the boot when this lifts off the ski. <??>Corresponding locked positions of the lever define the locked and free positions of the holding component. The forward end of the latter can be coupled directly to the lever so as to be slid the and fro by it. The component passes through the flexible one and a front stop (23) on the binding for the spindle on the sole. The flexible component can be held in the binding by the hinge spindle (14) of the hand lever. A baseplate on the ski can have two lateral flanges (22) bent upwards, also a rib bent upwards to form a front stop (20) for the spindle on the boot sole.

Abstract: On fixe au siège du conducteur un détecteur de bruissement d'air occlus de manière à capter un signal représentatif du mouvement du corps du conducteur et de la durée pendant laquelle le signal n'atteint pas un niveau prédéterminé. Simultanément, on capte un signal produit lorsque le véhicule est en mouvement, puis on compare les deux signaux à l'aide d'un circuit ad hoc. Si les deux signaux sont présents, et uniquement si une tendance spécifique apparaît dans la durée du signal représentatif du mouvement du corps, une alarme se déclenche. C'est donc un moyen économique et facile à monter d'alarme d'endormissement ne fonctionnant que quand le véhicule est en mouvement.

Granted: 2007-07-25
Abstract: A method for cold forming a flattened, end-threaded rod into a U-bolt answers the need for high-strength steel rods that can be bent into flattened U-bolts by spring and suspension repair facilities or the like. By controlling the amount of work put into the end-threaded flattened rod during bending, it is possible to manufacture a flattened, end-threaded rod from a high-strength steel that can be successfully cold bent into a U-bolt. The amount or degree of flattening and the radius of the U-bolt are variables which applicant controls to successfully cold bend a high-strength steel flattened rod into a U-bolt. Therefore, the spring and suspension repair facility avoids the need to heat the flattened rods for warm forming and, instead, can maintain an inventory of end-threaded and flattened rods for cold forming into flattened U-bolt comply with OEM designs when modifying or repairing vehicles.

Abstract: A system and method of controlling ciphering of call information between a mobile communication terminal and a network initiates the transmission of a ciphering request from the terminal to the network. The network then transmits a ciphering authentication request message to the terminal and the terminal responds by transmitting a ciphering authentication response message to the network. The network then transmits a ciphering activation completion message to the terminal in accordance with the ciphering authentication response message. A system and method for controlling deactivation of ciphering of call information initiates transmission of a ciphering deactivation request from the mobile terminal to the network. The network then performs the ciphering deactivation and transmits a ciphering deactivation completion message to the terminal. Through these systems and methods, the user terminal controls ciphering and deciphering of call information instead of the network. <IMAGE>
