Abstract: The controls are attached to the steering column by a radially deformable ring (1) which is opened to pass transversely over the steering column, then closed over the steering column and locked in place. The ring has ramps (11) on its external periphery, and the ring is enclosed in a locking ring (30) with complementary ramps (31) on its inner face. The ramps are configured so that rotation of the fixing ring causes reduction of the inner diameter of the deformable ring. The external face of the locking ring has a radially projecting grip to allow tightening of the locking ring.

Abstract: A control device (7) located in battery operated device or battery pack is used to
control charging and discharging cycles of a pair of rechargeable batteries (6a, 6b). The
device determines which of the batteries is least charged and, if not already fully
discharged, allows power to be drawn from the battery until it becomes fully
discharged. The device then allows the other battery to be drained. When the batteries
are placed in a charger (3), the control device only allows fully discharged batteries to
be charged. In this way, only full discharge and charge cycles are performed, which
maximises the lifetime of the batteries.

Abstract: A satellite communications system 34 36 10 where a
communications satellite 10 provides a plurality of spot beams
30, controlled by an earth station 36, to communicate with user
terminals 34 on the surface of the earth 14, has the earth
station 36 divide its part of the surface of the earth into
zones 38, the earth station finding the position of each
interactive user terminal 34 on the surface of the earth 14 and
informing the user terminal in which zone it lies. The earth
station 36 logs the calls from each zone 38 and establishes if
call congestion is occurring in any zone 38, or for other
reasons. When congestion occurs, the earth station 36 issues
indication to each user terminal of the identity or identities
of that zone or those zones where congestion arises. If inside
a zone where congestion arises, and a service level indicator,
provided by the earth station 36, exceeds that allocated to the
user terminal 34, the user terminal 34 shuts down until it
receives a service level indicator allowing it to function. The
earth station 36 continually adjusts the service level
indicator to keep the congestion situation just suppressed.

Abstract: An Internet service provider can improve Internet-like services to its
customers by providing closely-controlled server computers and intelligent proxy servers
under the control of a central control computer. The performance network provides
access to information such as web sites through data networks operated and controlled
by the Internet service provider. As the work load of the server increases, or as it might
be unable to respond to requests for information by subscribers, the central control
computer can allocate computation resources of other, less burdened machines to act as
servers to those customers. The network also collects and aggregates customer
information that can be made available to the providers of the server content.

Abstract: A method has been developed which utilizes a metal-2,4-dicarbonyl complex as an organic solvent soluble metal ion source in the metallation of polyazamacrocycles including porphyrins, expanded porphyrins and porphyrinoid compounds. Use of a metal ion source which is soluble in the metallation reaction medium produces significantly higher yields of a measurably purer product than is achieved using an insoluble or only sparingly soluble metal salt as in the prior art. Additionally, because the metallation can be performed in relatively concentrated mixtures, the reaction times are dramatically shorter and the amount of waste produced is less than when simple metal salts serve as the metal ion source. Further, use of the soluble metal-2,4-dicarbonyl complex simplifies the purification protocol required for the metallated expanded porphyrin.
