Abstract: A pipe clip (1) for fastening a pipe to a wall, ceiling or another support comprises a clip body which can be attached around a pipe. Outwardly extending first and second flanges are formed integrally with the ends of the pipe clip. The head (14a) of a tightening element (14) engages with the first flange of the clip body and the shank of the tightening element engages with the second end. The first flange (4) is curved with a relatively large radius of curvature in such a way that the free end of the flange extends substantially in the radial direction and the other end of the first flange merges seamlessly in the tangential direction of the clip body (2). A recess is formed in the first flange (4) for the shank of the tightening element. There is formed in the clip body a recess (13) which adjoins the recess in the first flange and through which the head of the tightening element fits. The clip body is configured resiliently. When, during closing of the pipe clip, the head (14a) of the tightening element (14) is pressed against the side of the first flange that faces the second flange, the clip body is shaped and deformable in such a way that the head (14a) of the tightening element is able to slide along the flange in the direction of the recess in the clip body. When the head subsequently projects into the recess in the clip body, the clip body recoils, as a result of which the shank of the tightening element is received in the recess in the flange. The head of the tightening element then engages behind the edges of the recess in the first flange.

Abstract: A method for forming a secure virtual private network (VPN100) is described. The secure virtual private network consists of two or more linked entities having internet connectability where each entity has links with at least one other device on the VPN. The method characterised by the steps of: providing a lookup device (104,246) having a known address with an updatable index of entities known to be connectable to the VPN. Causing at least one pre-dcsignated contact entity (238) on the VPN to periodically poll the lookup device (104) for received joining requests. The look up device accepts requests from known entities ("joining entity") (236) wishing to link to the VPN. The lookup device (104) receives a request from a joining entity to connect to the VPN(100). In response to a poll for joining requests the lookup device (104) notifies the polling contact entity (238) of at least the address of each joining entity (236). If the contact entity (238) permits a connection to the VPN, the contact entity supplies at least its address to the lookup device which passes this to the joining entity. The joining entity (236) and contact entity (238) establish a first link (254) between them. The joining entity and the contact entity conduct an authentication process over the first link. If the authentication process is successful the contact entity notifies the joining entity of at least the status of other entities belonging to the VPN and notifies all entities on the VPN that the joining device is joining the VPN. The joining device uses the status of other entities belonging to the VPN to calculate its node position in the VPN including the one or two neighbour entities it will connect to. The one or two neighbour entities initiating a process of the type specified above to connect with the lookup entity to establish one or more second links with the joining entity and terminating the first link. The joining entity and at least one neighbour entity conducting a mutual authentication process which if successful sustains the one or more second links.

Abstract: A ductless HVAC system is controlled by light frequency signals, for example, in the infrared (IR) band. A repeater within the line-of-sight of the ductless HVAC system is used in concert with a remote thermostat. A user may operate the remote thermostat as desired, and the remote thermostat generates and broadcasts an RF signal stream responsive to the user-entry. This suitably encoded RF signal stream penetrates any wall or other opaque impediment to light frequency transmission and is received by the repeater, decoded by the repeater, re-encoded by the repeater into a signal suitable for driving an IR transmitter and broadcast as an IR beam to the receiver/interface.
