Title: Overload indicator for a load supporting apparatus
Inventor: VETESNIK JAN
IPC: B66C13/16
Filed: 2005-11-18
Abstract: An overload indicator for a load supporting apparatus is arranged to bend during overloading of the apparatus, thereby visually indicating the overload to a user or observer. The indicator features a longitudinal member having a U-shaped cross section defining one central and two side portions. A series of slots extend into each side portion from a side opposite the central portion such that the member will bend concavely with respect to that side, moving opposite ends of the member closer together. The indicator is arranged to extend between connection points on a first member and a second load supporting member of the apparatus in order to bend in response to excessive loading of the second member. The bending moves the connection points of the two members closer together, thus bringing the load closer to the first member.

Filed: 2004-09-09
Abstract: For a push-to-talk function in a mobile communication system (30), an indication is received (35) by a user (50) that the talking floor is available. Next, an uplink temporary block flow is established (36). Prior to release of the uplink temporary block flow by the mobile communication system, a refresh message is sent (39) to hold the uplink temporary block flow.  Downlink temporary block flows may also be refreshed by this method, or by the mobile communication system. Then the requesting user may enable the push-to-talk function. These techniques can improve talker arbitration and call setup delays for push-to-talk.

Patent CA-2541948-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DE HILLERIN CHARLES-ANDRE
IPC: G06T17/40
Filed: 2006-04-05
Abstract: For determining the behaviour of a system submitted to predetermined load and displacement boundary conditions with a degree of freedom relative to a local coordinate system released at one node of the system, a process uses finite element analysis. For a geometrically non-linear solution scheme, the process has a plurality of incremental steps. In each incremental step, one computes for a finite element of the system a displacement vector at the nodes of the finite element. This computation of the displacement vector is carried out by minimising the energy of the system when the system is submitted to the predetermined load and to a fraction of the predetermined displacement. For a geometrically linear solution scheme, the process is carried out in a single solving step. In this step one computes for a finite element of the system a displacement vector at the nodes of the finite element. The computation is carried out by minimising the energy of the system when the system is submitted to the predetermined load and to the predetermined displacement. The step of minimising is carried out, for a node having a released degree of freedom, in a local frame of reference. The released degree of freedom at the node is expressed along one axis of the local frame of reference. Using such hydrid reference frames makes it possible to express and to take into account in the global formulation the constraints for the non-released degrees of freedoms in a simple manner, without having to factorise constraints;
