Abstract: A cellular radiotelephone system including a Cellular Radio Exchange (CRE) and a plurality of radio heads (base stations) is deactivated, by sending an email including a deactivation message to the CRE via a communications protocol other than TCP/IP, such that the CRE deactivates the cellular radiotelephone system in response to receipt of the email including the deactivation message.  Preferably, the email including the deactivation message is sent to the CRE  via ANSI-41 communications protocol that is also used to communicate messages for automatic roaming, authentication, voice privacy and other services. Most preferably, the email including the deactivation message is sent to the CRE  via ANSI-41 Short Message Service (SMS) communications protocol that supports email between a cellular operator system and a cellular radiotelephone system.  The deactivation message may be processed by receiving the email including the deactivation message at the CRE via the communications protocol other than TCP/IP, preferably ANSI-41 and most preferably ANSI-41 SMS. A "fictitious"  radiotelephone is assigned at the CRE for receipt of the ANSI-41 SMS  deactivation email. The received email is sent to the fictitious radiotelephone using ANSI-41 SMS communications protocol. The fictitious radiotelephone converts the ANSI-41 SMS email to a TCP/IP email. The converted email is then used to deactivate the cellular radiotelephone system.

Title: Differential speed-sensitive and torque-sensitive limited slip coupling
Inventor: LOWELL JEFFREY
IPC: F16H48/20
Filed: 1999-07-06
Abstract: A limited slip differential (10) with a hydrostatic pump (96). A pair of pressure plates splined to the carrier define a pair of opposed ramps. They are engaged by differential pinions carried by a pinion shaft. The pinions engage each of the two side gears. A friction clutch assembly is situated adjacent each side gear. The pressure plates transfer an axial component of the thrust force created on the ramp surfaces as torque is transmitted throu gh the pinions and through each side gear of each of two axle shafts. Each friction clutch assembly includes friction disks carried by the side gears a nd by the carrier so that a bias torque is established as one axle shaft overspeeds the other. A hydrostatic pump (96) has one pump member connected to the carrier and another connected to one of the axle shafts. The hydrostatic  pump (96) creates a differential speed-sensitive bias which complements the torque-sensitive bias developed by the ramps.

Title: Correlated secondary trc calibration method
Inventor: RUMPH DAVID E
IPC: G06F3/12
Filed: 2001-05-08
Abstract: This invention is a method of producing a set of TRC's for a color printer's secondary halftone screens that is correlated with the printer's primary halftone screens. The method makes use of the printer/screen characteristic data that is normally gathered during screen calibration. However, instead of progressing from the data to a normal calibration for the secondary screens, the method goes backward through the data starting with the finished primary screen TRC's. The method insures that for every primary screen density, the closest possible secondary screen density is used when the same digital value is specified.

Title: Power actuator having an electromagnetic clutch assembly
Inventor: JORGENSEN GREGORY A
IPC: F16D27/118
Filed: 1999-12-02
Abstract: The present application discloses a power actuator for a latch assembly. The power actuator has a motor (70) having a rotatable motor output member (94) and a clutch assembly (50). The clutch assembly has a rotatable clutch output member (48). A stamped, cup-shaped ferromagnetic coil casing (126) has a generally radially extending base wall and an annular side wall extending generally axially from the base wall. An annular ferromagnetic flux intensifying washer (160) is positioned adjacent to the base wall of the coil casing. An annular coil of electroconductive material is operable to selectively generate a magnetic field. The coil (112-118) is disposed within the casing with the side wall extending in surrounding relation with respect to the coil such that the field generated by the coil flows generally radially through the base wall and generally axially through said side wall. A  ferromagnetic armature (120) is in sliding relation with the annular coil and movable between (a) an engaged position wherein the armature couples the motor output member and the clutch output member together so that energization of the motor rotatably drives the clutch output member and (b) a disengaged position wherein the motor output member and the clutch output member are uncoupled to enable the clutch output member to rotate without resistance from the motor.  Selective energizing of the coil effects movement of the armature between the engaged and disengaged positions thereof.

Title: Shock actuated sensor for fluid valve
Inventor: SIBLEY RICHARD D
IPC: F16K17/36
Filed: 2001-11-15
Abstract: The improved shock actuated sensor is used with shock activation valves which have a shock activation control mechanism. The control mechanism includes a pedestal with a vertical tube disposed thereround and a weight in the form of a ball supported on the pedestal upper end. When a shock or vibration force is experienced the ball is displaced horizontally from a rest position to a side of the control mechanism where it engages the vertical tube that causes the valve to close. The improvement includes a pedestal upper end with a circumferential step to aid the ball in engaging the vertical tube to activate the valve closing. The step allows gravity, in addition to the shock force, to urge the ball to move the vertical tube. The pedestal upper end may also have a recess in the form of an open cylindrical recess to support the ball.

Abstract: A method for creating a global unambiguous identifier for predetermined data structures and for storing identifiers created. In the method, an unambiguous identifier is created from a key and/or keys associated with an encryption and/or signing procedure and/or from key holder information and/or other information. From the identifier, an unambiguous hash code is generated using e.g. a hash function. The hash codes thus generated are stored in a centralized place so that each hash code is unambiguously associated with a given juridical person and a given key pair. The hash code can be used e.g. as a part of encrypted messages sent by a mobile station in a mobile communication system so that the user can infer from the identifier how the message can be decrypted into plain language.
