Title: Registering an endpoint with a sliding window sub-set of controllers of a survivable network
Inventor: BAKER AL
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2009-06-18
Abstract: Provided are methods, devices, and systems for maintaining a SIP survivable network. A SIP endpoint (or SIP client) maintains an ordered list of the controllers that are available to it and registers with a subset containing the first N controllers in the list, where N is a plurality, but not all, of the controllers in the list, and obtains services from one or more of the controllers of the subset. If one of the controllers of the subset becomes unavailable, the endpoint registers with the (N+1)stcontroller in the list, thereby adding it to the subset. If and when the one controller becomes available again, the endpoint de-registers with the (N+1)stcontroller, thereby removing it from the subset, and if necessary re-registers with the one controller. The subset thus forms a sliding window of registered controllers on the list. The controller may be servers.

Title: Improvements in transmission systems for mechanically propelled vehicles
IPC: B60K17/04
Filed: 1921-04-07
Abstract: 178,001. Woods, H., and Manthorpe, R. F. W. April 7, 1921. Axle structures. - Comprises a transmission system in which a single propeller shaft or two coaxial shafts is or are enclosed in a single torque-and-thrust casing, one end of which is fixed to the rear axle casing while the other end is rotatably mounted in a sleeve which can turn about the axis of a driving or power shaft. In the construction shown, two electric motors 1, 22, carried by a frame member 2, drive coaxial propeller shafts 4, 26, which drive the road wheels through two independent sets of bevel gearing 7, 30. The propeller-shaft casing 9 can rotate within a sleeve 11 forming part of a casing 12 which rotates on trunnions 13 coaxial with the motor shafts. Thus the frame can move up and down and can also twist relatively to the axle. The casing 9 is secured within the sleeve 11 by means of nuts 19, 20 which screw on the casing, so that by rotating the nuts the effective length of the casing is altered and the meshing of the bevel' gearing adjusted. Modifications are described in which (1) the two motors 1, 22 drive the axle through a single propeller shaft and differential gearing and (2) one motor only is employed. The casing 12, instead of being rotatable on the motor or motors, may be fixed relatively thereto, and the motor or motors may be mounted to swing with the casing about trunnions coaxial with the motor shaft or shafts.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the starting of internal combustion engines
IPC: F02N99/00
Filed: 1936-04-08
Abstract: 467,621. Turning - gear ; starting. BOSCH AKT.-GES., R. April 8, 1936, No. 10305. Convention date, April 25, 1935. [Class 7 (v)] In order to start an engine in which fuel is sprayed into the cylinders during starting, the engine is turned over by power starting-means at a relatively low speed through at least one complete cycle, and is then accelerated to cause an energetic eddying and vaporizing of the fuel in the cylinders. The acceleration is effected by a separate impulse imparted to the engine either directly or through gearing of higher transmission ratio from another power starting- means. In one form, the engine shaft 6 is turned slowly by means of an electric starter 1, which is connected through planetary gearing 8, 9, 10 and a free wheel 15 to a dog clutch 4 movable by means of a lever 22 into engagement with a clutch member 5 on the engine shaft. The engine is then accelerated by firing a cartridge in a cylinder 20, the piston in which drives the clutch member 4 through a rack 18, pinion 16 and free wheel 17. In a modification, the engine shaft is first turned slowly by an electric motor through planetary gearing and a dog clutch, and is then turned rapidly by an impulse imparted directly to the engine pistons by cartridges fired electrically in succession in the cylinder heads. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also a modification which forms the subject - matter of Specification 10690 /37. This does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements relating to the painting of metals by electrodeposition
IPC: C23C22/80
Filed: 1966-03-09
Abstract: Before electrodepositing a coating of paint on a metal surface, the surface is cleaned by treatment with an aqueous alkaline solution which contains alkali borate but is substantially free of silicate and is then treated with a zinc phosphate solution to form a phosphate coating.  Preferably the cleaning solution, which is applied at 50 to 70 DEG C. by spraying, contains a non-ionic surface active agent, such as a condensation product of ethylene oxide with an alkyl phenol, fatty alcohol or fatty amine or polypropylene oxide, and a phosphate coating activator such as activated titanium phosphate and optionally a condensed phosphate e.g. sodium pyro-, tripoly-, or hexameta-phosphate, as in Specification 932,987. The phosphating solution which may also be applied by spraying contains an accelerator such as nitrates and/or nitrites, hydrogen peroxide, chlorates, bromates or organic nitro compounds.  If hot galvanized surfaces are to be treated the phosphating solution contains also a nickel salt and/or a simple or complex fluoride e.g. a silicofluoride.  The phosphating step may be followed by a dip in a hexavalent chromium solution e.g. chromic acid, the cleaning, phosphating and chromate treatments being each followed by a water rinse unless the borate content of the cleaning solution is very low when washing may be omitted. Examples are given for treating motor car bodies and sheets of steel and in the latter case the phosphating solution includes nickel and silicofluoride in addition to zinc, nitrate and nitrite.  Comparison tests on coated articles are given using a cleaner containing disodium orthophosphate or sodium pyrophosphate in place of the alkali borate.
