Title: Communicating with a called party by forwarding a call to a dynamically allocated call-in number
Inventor: GONZALEZ JOSE LUIS MERINO
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2007-08-20
Abstract: A system enables a calling party end-user device with internet access such as a WAP enabled mobile telephone, to initiate voice communication with a called party. The calling party enters the called party's VoIP username or telephone number into a web page and has a call-in number dynamically assigned to it by a dynamic line assignment module. A conversion device changes the call forwarding setting for the call-in number such that calls made to the call-in number are forwarded to the VoIP username or telephone number entered into the webpage. The webpage then provides a click-to-dial button which instigates dialing of the call-in number. Enables a device with only basic Internet functionality (eg a WAP phone) to make a VoIP call to a VoIP user by dialing a conventional telephone number or to make international calls by dialing a free or local rate number. Also disclosed is a system in which a webpage is used to obtain the contact details of the party with which communication is sought and a conventional or international phone number. In this latter system, conference call settings at a switch or ISP are altered such that a conference call is automatically initiated by the switch between the party with which communication is sought and the conventional or international phone number. If only the called party contact details are obtained from the website then a conversion device replaces the empty data field with a default telephone number such as the calling party's mobile, home or office number and sets the conference call settings accordingly.

Title: Tightening system with quality control apparatus
IPC: B25B23/145
Filed: 1976-03-13
Abstract: 1533921 Tightening systems STANDARD PRESSED STEEL CO 13 March 1976 10181/76 Heading G1N A tightening system for tightening a fastener includes a wrench 50 for tightening a fastener, control means 51 operatively associated with the wrench for shutting-off the wrench at a predetermined condition, and quality control means 53 for checking the condition and for checking the operation of the wrench and the control means while the fastener is being tightened. The control means 51 comprises a circuit identical with that disclosed for the second embodiment in Specification 1526948. The torque of the wrench 50 is measured using strain gauges 72, contacting gauges or proximity displacement gauges and the angular displacement thereof by an induction type proximity probe 74 associated with the motor 52. The quality control means comprises two circuits, one 120, 122 & c. associated with the torque measuring portion of the control means for indicating whether the torque measured at the shutting-off of the wrench lies within a predetermined range. The predetermined range is set on the two components 122, 124 and lamps 126, 128, 132 are provided for visually indicating the value of the aforesaid torque. Similarly the other circuit 140, 142 &c associated with the angular displacement measuring portion of the control means visually indicates whether the angular displacement lies in a predetermined range. The quality control means further comprises an inverting amplifier 154 the output of which is fed together with values of torque from a torque amplifier 78 and gradient from a gradient signal amplifier 96 to an overflow amplifier 156 in the form of a comparator. If the control means 51, of which amplifiers 78 and 96 form part, and the wrench are working correctly the value of the combined input to the overflow amplifier 156 approaches the value of a signal from a signal generator 158 with the result that a low signal is produced which is insufficient to light lamp 160. If one part of the control means 51 or the wrench is defective one of the signals making up the input to the overflow amplifier falls in value causing a higher signal to be produced at the output thereof and hence causing the lamp 160 to light. For a final indication the signals from the two circuits of the quality control means are each fed through an inverter 166, 168 and thereafter through a diode 164 as is the output of the overflow amplifier 156 and passed to an inverter 170 together such that, if all the parts of the apparatus are functioning correctly and the fastener is properly secured the output of the inverter lights a lamp 172.

Filed: 1941-08-12
Abstract: 551,210. Power plant. SCOTT, W. Aug. 12, 1941, No. 10267. [Class 7 (ii)] [Also in Groups XII and XXXV] In a method of operating a power plant comprising an internal-combustion engine and a gas generator, a draught is induced through the generator and, when the gas obtained is of sufficient richness for running the engine, a portion of the gas is utilized to give an indication that the gas is suitable or to act as a means for bringing about the starting of the engine. In the plant shown, a draught is induced through the gas producer 1 and a duct 2 by a fan 3 driven bv an electric motor 14. Gas from the duct 2 is led to a duct 7 having an outlet throttled by a valve 8 and having a branch 9 at which the issuing gas is lighted by a plug 11 in the circuit of an induction coil 12 when the gas is suitable for the engine. A bimetallic strip 16 movable between stops 32 normally closes at 17 the circuit of the motor 14 and coil 12, and when heated by the gas flame snaps over to close at 18 the circuit of an indicator or of the relay 19 of an engine starter. When the engine is running, the contacts 17, 18 are withdrawn from the strip 16 by lubricating-oil pressure or by engine suction acting through a duct 25, chamber 28 and valve 29, or a switch in the circuit of the strip 16 may be opened by engine suction, lubricating-oil pressure or centrifugal action.

Title: Improvements in or relating to preparing finely divided silica
IPC: C01B33/193
Filed: 1954-04-08
Abstract: Finely divided silica is produced by interacting an aqueous solution of sodium or potassium silicate containing 5-150 grams of SiO2 per litre with an aqueous solution containing an acid or acid reacting substance and a water soluble salt of one of the alkaline earth metals magnesium, calcium, zinc, strontium, cadmium and barium, and adjusting the pH of the silica produced to 6-8.5, the acidic material not being such as to form a water insoluble salt with the alkaline earth metal salt, and the amounts of acidic material and alkaline earth metal salt being equivalent to at least 75 per cent of the alkali metal silicate. Either solution may be added to the other, or both solutions may be added simultaneously to a reaction pool.  In the latter method the two solutions may be mixed together in a centrifugal pump. Acids specified are hydrochloric, nitric, and acetic acid, and acid reacting substances specified are ammonium chloride and nitrate and aluminium chloride.  Salts specified are calcium, magnesium and zinic chloride, and magnesium and calcium nitrate. A non reactive alkali metal salt, e.g. sodium chloride or nitrate, may also be present.  The alkali metal silicate preferably has the composition H2O(SiO2)x where x is at least 2, e.g. 3.3. Silicates in which x is less than 2 may be used but in this case it is preferred to add acid to increase the value above 2 before precipitating the silica.  The amount of alkaline earth metal salt is preferably at least equivalent to the alkali metal silicate.  The alkali metal oxide content of the resulting silica should be below about 3 per cent, preferably below 1 per cent.  The alkaline earth content should be below 5 per cent, preferably 1-4 per cent.  The silica is recovered by filtration and/or settling, The metal content may be reduced by washing with water or acid.  Silica of surface area 56-110 sq. m./gm. is produced according to the examples.
