Title: Transport of encapsulated serial data via instant messaging communication
Inventor: RAYBURN RONALD RICHARD
IPC: F24F11/00
Filed: 2005-02-03
Abstract: A method and system is provided for gathering and packetizing data from networked building automation equipment, and for transmitting data packets as instant messages to remotely located users. An instant messaging (IM) server-based system is provided to facilitate communication between networked building equipment and a remotely located service contractor. When a registered router is operated, the router establishes a continuous pass-through communication link with the IM server and with building equipment connected to the router. The router automatically polls connected building equipment for alarms, faults and system failures, and also receives, processes, and responds to user requests for specific data from particular items of building equipment. Data gathered by the router is packetized, and the packets are then encapsulated into an instant message that is transmitted to the IM server.  Authorized users who log on to the IM server are then provided access to the instant message containing the packetized data. Additionally, remote users can solicit gathering of data by the router by submitting to an IM server an instant message requesting the router to gather and return specific data from particular item of building equipment.

Abstract: A tube-joining apparatus capable of stably and reliably joining tubes where liquid is contained and sealed. In a tube joining apparatus, a first clamp ( 6) and second clamp (7) for pressing and holding tubes (8, 9) are arranged in a contact state. When a second moving mechanism is driven to separate the seco nd clamp (7) from the first clamp (6), the first clamp (6) is slid on the tubes by a shaft (121) supporting the first clamp (6) in a vertically movable mann er and is moved from a first position (P1) to a second position (P2). The tubes are squeezed with a pressing force being gradually increased while the tubes are slid between slants (67, 77) of an engagement portion (68) and second engagement portion (78). Residual liquid in the tubes is removed from inside the tubes by the squeezing operation of the first clamp 6. The tubes from which the residual liquid is removed are cut by a cutting plate (41), the tubes are moved by first and second moving mechanisms, and then the tubes ar e joined.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour mesurer une consommation de gaz à l'aide d'un compteur à gaz (1). Un compteur à gaz (1) comportant un capteur de débit thermique (1a) servant à déterminer des signaux de débit massique (S<SB>M</SB>) et un dispositif d'étalonnage en tant qu'appareil de mesure d'énergie pour l'émission de signaux de valeur d'énergie (S<SB>E</SB>) est connu. Selon l'invention, un type de gaz est déterminé par le compteur à gaz (1) dans la mesure où des mélanges gazeux (3) combustibles et incombustibles sont différenciés. Le compteur à gaz (1) est, pour un mélange gazeux (3) non combustible, utilisé avec un étalonnage selon des unités de masse ou de volume aux conditions normales (l/min), et, pour un mélange gazeux combustible (3) avec un étalonnage selon des unités d'énergie (kWh). Des exemples de mode de réalisation concernent entre autres : la mesure d'un paramètre (.lambda., .alpha., c, .eta.) du gaz (3) permettant la détermination du type de gaz ; un capteur de qualité de gaz (1a) présentant une structure identique à celle du capteur de débit thermique (1a) ; et des intervalles de mesure prolongés pour un gaz non combustible (3) et raccourcis pour un gaz combustible (3). Les avantages offerts par l'invention sont entre autres : une mesure d'énergie fiable résultant de la différenciation automatique entre un gaz (3) ne pouvant pas être pris en compte et un gaz utile de haute valeur (3) ; la reconnaissance de tentatives de manipulation ; et l'ajustement automatique de la valeur calorifique même sans mesure de cette valeur.
