Abstract: In a switch device, such as a horn switch device attached to a steering wheel, a water column is prevented from being formed between contact sections of a pair of contact points facing each other.     A movable member (30) and a fixed member (40) of a horn switch device (20) are disposed in an opposed manner such that the movable member (30) on an upper side can be moved toward and away from the fixed member (40) on a lower side and such that it is urged upward by urging means (50).     Furthermore, at least a pair of protruding contact points (35) and (45) are formed on the movable member (30) and the fixed member (40), at positions facing each other. By bringing them into contact with each other, the members (30) and (40) are electrically connected, closing a horn circuit. A rivet (46), serving as a contact section, is attached to a tip portion of the fixed contact point (45) on the lower side, and an opening portion (36) is provided in the movable contact point (35) on the upper side, the outer peripheral side of which is made to serve as a contact section to be brought into contact with the rivet (46).

Inventor: TOUPIN JOSEPH
IPC: F16L37/62
Filed: 2008-11-05
Abstract: A system for connecting undersea pipes at great depths comprises a rigid and resilient casing (B) of thickness that becomes e2 when immersed with the hydrostatic pressure acting on its outside surface being greater than the pressure acting on its wall. This reduction in thickness enables the casing to be inserted between two companion flanges (30) that are welded to the ends of the tubes for connecting together, which tubes are held in setbacks (27) machined in a bracket (A).   When the pressure difference that gives rise to the elastic deformation of the casing is equalized by means of a pressure-equalizing valve, the bracket opposes a reaction force equal and opposite to the elastic force developed by the casing, which is prevented from returning its initial thickness, with its thickness being limited to e3. This thickness difference corresponds to the elastic potential energy stored by lowering the casing and it represents the magnitude of the clamping force applied by the coupling system in the bracket.

Abstract: A primary key may be used for a first attempt by a remote node to decrypt incoming messages from a master. In the event the decrypt attempt fails at the remote node, a secondary key may then be used to attempt to decrypt the message. Initially, the primary and secondary keys may be the same. A field tool, such as a hand-held programming unit operated by a technician at a remote node location, may change the secondary key, but may not cause any change to the primary key. The secondary key may remain so changed until a new primary key is verified and/or authenticated and the secondary key is overwritten with the new primary key. The primary key may only be changed/set by the master via an encrypted request. A technician may not use a field tool to change a primary key.
