Title: A method for monitoring the managed devices
Inventor: WEI WEI
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2007-09-26
Abstract: A method for monitoring the managed devices comprises that the manage center preserves the integrality list in advance, which includes the system integrality values of the managed devices and the corresponding relations of the managed devices and the system integrality values of themselves, and the managed device gathers the current system integrality value of itself and saves it when it starts; the managed device sends the information including the current system integrality value to the manage center after receiving the monitor command from the manage center; the manage center determines whether the received current system integrality value of the managed device coincides with the integrality value of the managed device saved by itself according to the received information and said integrality list, and implements the alert process when they do not coincide with each other. The manage center can know whether the managed device is believable currently so that the manage center can determine whether the unknown attack to the managed device exists or not according to the present invention.

IPC: E05B1/00
Filed: 2008-05-09
Abstract: A door handle mechanism 20, operable to be surface, recess or flush mounted to a door having a door latch 10 and/or lock 11 assembly, comprising: a body (21, fig.3), a substantially cylindrical handle (22, fig.3) rotatable about a first axis 23 on the body and a drive member 24 rotatable about a second axis 25 on the body, and operable to receive and rotate a spindle 16A of the door latch/lock assembly. Rotation of the handle causes rotation of the drive member 24 and the axes 23, 25 are substantially parallel to and spaced from one another. As shown the handle and drive member are interconnected by gearing but other means can be used such as belt or chain drives and electric or fluid motors. A clutch can be arranged in the transmission to effect force or movement limitation. The arrangement allows a handle which resists the attachment of a line, which can be large enough to provide effective grip without obstruction and which has a low rotational force. The handle mechanism is shown driving a latch bolt 13 and can accommodate a lock mechanism to drive a lock bolt 17. Alternatively the handle mechanism can be used to operate the lock bolt 17 (fig.9).

Title: System and method for pressure isolation for hydraulically actuated tools
Inventor: CISNEROS FRED
IPC: E21B23/04
Filed: 2007-07-30
Abstract: An isolation device (102) operatively coupled to a wellbore tool is activated upon receiving fluid at predetermined applied pressure to close a flow port (18). When the fluid string reaches the predetermined applied pressure, the isolation device undertakes a specified action such as longitudinal movement, rotation, expansion, etc. that actuates or operates the wellbore tool. Premature actuation of the wellbore tool is prevented by applying a resistive force to the isolation device that, alone or in cooperation with another mechanism, arrests movement of the isolation device. This resistive force is generated by applied pressure of the fluid in the work string.

IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2009-03-12
Abstract: A system and method for passing event messages between linked applications comprises a message service 50 and a controller 52. In use event messages are issued by a front end of an application 42. The message service 50 monitors the event message being passed to associated backend 44 it will pass it onto the backend 48 of a linked application. The linked backend responds to the received message and causes an event to occur in the linked application front end 46. The message service or backplane may monitor messages according to the TCP/IP connection. Event messages may also be transferred using XML. The system may also be used by commercial off the shelf (COTS) applications by providing an adapter between the application and the message service. The message serve may also convert data from a first format to a second format for use in the second application. The controller is used to establish linked applications and may operated as a GUI (Fig 9) where dragging icons between applications instructs the controller to establish a link.

Title: Improvements in or relating to self-propelling vehicles for telpher railways
IPC: B61B7/06
Filed: 1965-03-09
Abstract: 1,094,383. Cable railway. ETABLISSEMENTS NEYRPIC (ATELIERS NEYRETBEYLIER ET PICCARD-PICTET). March 9, 1965 [Feb. 1, 1965], No. 10023/65. Heading B7L. [Also in Division G3] A self-propelled telpher railway vehicle 11 is suspended from a cable 10 by driving carrier rollers 12, driven through differential mechanisms 19 by a motor 20, and has pressure rollers 13 acting under the cable and between each pair of rollers 12 to define the conditions of adhesion of the driving rollers, the railway being characterized in that each pressure roller is pushed towards the cable by an hydraulic jack 14 supplied by an hydraulic installation comprising regulating devices 15, adapted to select a level of pressure to the rollers 13 from a predetermined range of levels, and oleo-pneumatic accumulators 16, Fig. 2 (not shown), situated adjacent the jacks, which maintain each selected level of pressure. The vehicle body is pivotally supported from two arms 32, each arm receiving a pair of pivotally mounted trolleys 33. The hydraulic jacks associated with each pair of trolleys is supplied from an individual regulating device 15. When the vehicle negotiates a slope in the cable the weight of the vehicles is taken mainly on the rollers 12 supported on the uppermost arm 32 and additional pressure has to be applied to the pressure rollers supported on the lowermost arm 32 to maintain the necessary adhesion of the lowermost rollers 12. The level N 1  of a liquid in arm 28 of a U-tube 23 supported on the vehicle body constitutes slope measuring and detecting means, and the level co-operates with submersible bodies 24 and 25 which actuate contactors 62 and 63, Fig. 2 (not shown). The contactors are incorporated in an electric/ hydraulic circuit, Fig. 2 (not shown, see Division G3) which selects the fluid pressure to be supplied to the jacks by means of a supply and release valve to and from an hydraulic pump. The pressure is increased with the increase in slope of the cable. Either the pressure to the top or bottom pressure rollers may be constant and the pressure to the bottom or top pressure rollers respectively be selected provided the pressure to the bottom pressure rollers is always greater than the pressure to the top pressure rollers, Figs. 3 and 4 (not shown).

Title: Improvements in or relating to the treatment of edible fatty oils and fats more particularly those containing fat-soluble vitamins
IPC: A61K31/16
Filed: 1942-07-20
Abstract: 558,820. Vitamins. NATIONAL OIL PRODUCTS CO. July 20, 1942, No. 10056. Convention date, July 26, 1941. [Class 2 (iii)] Edible fatty oils and fats containing unsaponifiable matter are treated with alkali to effect partial or complete saponification in the presence of a sugar, sugar ester, ketone or like sugar derivative or edible gum, whereby the unsaponifiable material may be recovered free from objectionable taste or odour. In examples : (1) crude shark liver oil mixed with ethylenedichloride, isopropanol and blackstrap molasses or sorbitol is freed from oxygen by passing in nitrogen with agitation ; saponification is then effected by heating with caustic potash, the soap separated after adding further ethylenedichloride and the unsaponifiable fraction recovered by removing the solvent : (2) shark liver oil is similarly saponified after being refined by treating with adsorptive carbon or clover honey. The process is particularly applicable to the treatment of vitamin A and D containing oils of fish origin but wheat germ oil and palm oil are also mentioned as starting materials. Specifications 535,014 and 550,845 are referred to.
