Title: Communications system
Inventor: EVANS STEPHEN RHYLANT
IPC: H04L12/70
Filed: 1998-01-28
Abstract: A number of narrow band networks are interconnected via a broad band network 48 having a signalling protocol different from that or those of the narrow band networks. Calls between terminals 12,85 associated with first and second narrow band networks are set up by the selection by a call server 18,81 of a phantom trunk between the networks. This phantom trunk is used to relay the addresses of the two terminals to be connected. By recognising that two connection requests have been received at opposite ends of the same phantom trunk, a processor in the second network determines that a connection between the terminals via the broad band network is required. Selection of the phantom trunk and sending of address messages is effected via a selected one of a number of identical connection brokers 44,80 coupled to the call server. The workload of the call server is shared among the connection brokers coupled thereto.

Title: Cleaning method and apparatus
Inventor: HAYWARD JOHN
IPC: F01D25/00
Filed: 1998-01-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for cleaning passages defining gas paths through a device, such as a compressor, uses a sequence of gradually increasing droplet sizes generated to ensure the compressor is cleaned along its length. A pump 3 driven by a motor 5 pumps cleaning fluid from a reservoir 2 through heaters 7 to nozzles 4 from which it is sprayed into a compressor 1. The size of droplets from nozzles 4 may be determined by a control unit 6 which controls the fluid injection pressure, or by controlling the fluid temperature through the heaters 7, or by using variable or multiple size orifice nozzles (figure 7), or by using a pump with pressure and flow variable controllable output (figure 8), or by applying ultrasound to fluid as it passes through a nozzle.

Title: Controlling film tension in film scanner
Inventor: MEAD TERENCE WILLIAM
IPC: G05D15/01
Filed: 1999-09-07
Abstract: A control system for controlling the tension of film in a film scanner such as a telecine, has a guide member 8 around which film is guided and which, with guide member drive 6, forms a torque bar to oppose tension in the film.

Title: Reduction of transmit power in a mobile station
Inventor: THOMAS HOWARD JOHN
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 1999-10-25
Abstract: A method of setting the transmit power of a mobile station operating in a radio communication system is provided. Communications are effected to a plurality of mobile stations via at least one base station. The method includes the steps of operating the mobile station in a first power control mode and receiving a message at the mobile station, transmitted by the at least one base station, the message informing the mobile station to reduce the transmit power of the mobile station below a lower threshold level of a power control range in the first power control mode. The mobile station then operates in a second power control mode, in response to the message. In utilising this method, the mobile station can still continue its transmissions, even though its transmission power may be outside of the minimum power threshold level of a power control range.

Title: Floating head slider
Inventor: KOGURE KENJI
IPC: G11B5/58
Filed: 1979-02-02
Abstract: PURPOSE:To avoid increment of the negative pressure although the rotational angle of the arm is increased by forming the width of the negative pressure generation surface of the floating head slider which is vertical to the magnetic recording medium surface in such way that the width may be increased gradually toward the running direction of the above medium surface. CONSTITUTION:Floating head slider 11 is provided on magnetic recording medium surface 6. Slider 11 contains taper surface 12 at the inflow end of the air, positive pressure generation surface 13 which generates the positive floating force, and negative pressure generation surface 14a which is formed to be broadened nearly in the linear way toward the running direction of surface 6. And border line 15a is formed between surfaces 13 and 14a, and angle theta' formed by line 15a is set nearly identical to the maximum value of angle theta which is formed with the longer direction of slider 11 caused by the arm's rotation and the inflow of the air. In such constitution, the variation can be minimized for the floating amount regardless of the change of angle theta, thus obtaining the steady floating characteristics.
