IPC: H04Q3/42

Abstract: 5 n7 A time division multiplex switching system converts call formats and signalling protocols so that calls can be interchanged between circuits originating in different networks thereby providing a gateway for telephone transmissions originating from sources (e.g., foreign countries) having differences in transmission (signal attenuation characteristics and companding laws) and signalling and numbering plans or protocols. This switching system is characterized by a processor which is programmed to identify the circuits requiring interconnection and to process signalling messages in accordance with the signalling systems and formats used in the circuits, while translating the signalling messages into common, protocol independent signaling messages which are used for establishing time division multiplex connections in a time slot interchange which is connected to the circuits via PCM highways and for exchanging signalling information (e.g., as to seizure, detection and release) between the circuits; the signalling messages also containing information for conversion of PCM data messages which are switched in the time slot interchange thereby reconciling differences in transmission, such as the companding law used for PCM encoding and decoding and the attenuation (pad value) of the call data in the circuits. The circuits may, for example, be incoming and outgoing trunks.

Abstract: An economically advantageous process for preparing 2-methylnaphthalene is provided. The process comprises the steps of azeotropically distilling a 1-methylnaphthalene-containing oil with ethylene glycol to produce a denitrified oil; subjecting the denitrified oil to an isomerization to promote an isomerization from 1-methylnaphthalene to 2-methylnaphthalene and produce an isomerization product; and recovering 2-methylnaphthalene from the isomerization product. The process may further comprise the step of hydrodesulfurizing or hydrogenating a portion or all of the denitrified oil to produce a hydrodesulfurized or hydrogenated product so that the product alone or the product together with the non-hydrodesulfurized or hydrogenated oil can be subjected to the subsequent isomerization step. Catalytic life of the isomerization catalyst is markedly prolonged to enable a production of 2-methylnaphthalene at a high yield.

Abstract: A solid-state imaging device comprising a full frame transfer vertical shift register. Signal charges stored in two sections, originally stored in two vertically adjacent pixels, are consecutively transferred to a horizontal shift register while the horizontal shift register is inoperative so as to be mixed together therein. Alternatively, a storage register is provided between the bottom section of the vertical shift register and the horizontal shift register so as to accept signal charges stored in two sections and mix them therein before transferring them to the horizontal shift register. In either case, the mixed signal charges are output as data corresponding to a moving image display. A still image display is possible using the same device by changing the timing for driving the vertical shift register or the storage register.

Abstract: A problem arises in electronic equipment incorporating a display, such as an LCD display, which is not intrinsically illuminated. The present invention provides a controlled backlight for such displays, and is particularly useful in battery-powered equipment where power consumption must be kept to a minimum. The circuitry comprises a display 1 controlled via a conventional display driver 6 from other equipment (not shown) such as a microprocessor. Whenever the display is changed a signal is sent also to a timer circuit 7 which triggers, and passes a control signal to an electronic switch 4 which in turn passes power from a battery 3 to a lamp 2. The lamp 2 is arranged to illuminate the display 1. After a preset period, the timer circuit 7 sends a further control signal to the switch 4 to switch lamp 2 off.

Abstract: The linear motion rolling guide unit has the under seals 13 mounted to the end seals 19 by fitting the engagement portions 30 formed at the longitudinal ends of the under seal 13 into the engagement holes 24 formed in the end seals 19. The under seal 13 consists of an underside core member 27 having the engagement portions 30 and a resilient underside member 28 having lip portions 25, 26. Since the under seal 13 is not fixed to the casing 2 and the end caps 5, the under seal 13 will not easily deform or strain. Therefore, the under seals 13 attached to the end seals can seal the sliding surfaces very well.

Abstract: A valve (500) has a pressure port (316) and an exhaust port (320) controlled by a reciprocable valve spool (520). A bias spring (530) maintains the valve spool (520) in its first position in which pressure port (316) is open and exhaust port (322) is closed. Where the valve (500) is used in an anti-lock braking system, in this first position brake fluid is flowed via an inlet (318) and bore (312) out of the pressure port (316) to pressurise a brake. An actuating unit (560) for moving the valve spool (520) comprises a series of pivoted links (542, 544, 546, 548) and an actuating shape memory alloy wire (562) connected to the first link (542) and to an actuating block (563) suspended from the third link (546). Application of electrical current to the wire (562) contracts it causing pivoting of the links and movement of the valve spool (520) to a second position in which the pressure port (316) is closed and the exhaust port (322) is open. The supply of pressuring fluid to the brake is thereby ceased, and fluid can be flowed from the brake via an inlet (320) and a bore (314) to the exhaust port (322) to release pressure from the brake. Removal of the electrical current from the wire (562) relaxes it and the bias spring (530) is able to restore the valve spool (520) to its first position.
