Abstract: Locks are known comprising a locking cylinder, a sleeve and a housing. The sleeve is
freely rotatable in the housing. The cylinder includes a number of locking plates. When a
correct key has been inserted, the locking plates are retained within the cylinder and the
cylinder will rotate relative to the sleeve and housing to release a latch. When an incorrect
key has been inserted, at least one of the plates extends into the sleeve to drive the sleeve
relative to the housing. The presence of camming surfaces will cause the sleeve or means
carried by and driven by the sleeve to be displaced axially with respect to the housing. Such
movement causes the latch mechanism to be isolated from the cylinder, and so rotation of the
cylinder by the incorrect key no longer causes actuation of the latch mechanism. However,
should a part of the cylinder break, the latch mechanism may no longer be isolated from the
latch when an incorrect key is inserted. Once such a break has occur inserting any key into
the keyway and rotating the cylinder will cause the latch to be actuated. An improved sleeve
assembly 8' is disclosed in which such breakage of the shaft is accommodated such that even
if the shaft becomes broken the cylinder and the latch are declutched from one another.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and apparatus for determining if a wireless
telecommunication system is operating at a reduced capacity is provided. The method
and apparatus utilize call processing information associated with every sector/carrier
within a CDMA base station to determine if any sector/carrier is operating at a reduced
capacity while also being limited by power control (i.e., power control is blocking new
users from gaining access to the sector/carrier even though the sector/carrier is
operating at a reduced capacity). Thus, the method and apparatus detect blocking faults
effecting the capacity of the CDMA system.

Abstract: A smoke alarm device has an ASIC (1) with an integrated photo detector (3) and
control circuit. The photo detector output is compared every ten seconds with an
alarm threshold level in a comparator circuit (10), with a sensitivity-decrease
threshold in a comparator circuit (11), and with a sensitivity-increase threshold in a
comparator circuit (12). A logic block (2) causes sensitivity to be increased or
decreased in which decreases take place at intervals of six hours and increases take
place after 40 secs. The logic block (2) provides for least sensitivity at power-up with
rapid increases to the appropriate level according to the level of back-scatter caused
by dust contamination. The logic block (2) maintains a high signal on an
interconnect terminal (9) for four seconds after a test button (7) is pressed so that a
maintenance person can hear remote interconnected devices after the local device
has stopped sounding. The logic block (2) also stores a memory flag when is goes
into alarm mode and modulates the horn at a different frequency at the next testing
to indicate that it has historically sensed smoke since last tested.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'annotation de documents par des collaborateurs permettant de stocker sur un serveur des notes ou des annotations associées à un document, tel qu'une image ou un document texte. Ces documents et les annotations associées sont traitées indépendamment, des structures de données séparées étant créées pour les documents et pour les annotations associées. Une application de serveur Web, côté serveur, permet de prendre en compte les requêtes spéciales émanant de une ou plusieurs applications client pour créer, mémoriser, éditer et extraire des annotations relatives à des documents spécifiques hébergés par le serveur. Un serveur d'annotations permet de consigner toutes les activités d'annotation, ainsi que les informations relatives aux clients correspondants qui créent, éditent et extraient ces annotations. Côté client, un applicatif d'annotations client, pouvant être mis en oeuvre sous la forme d'un module d'extension de navigateur Web, permet d'afficher le document que l'utilisateur souhaite annoter, et de fournir les outils nécessaires pour que l'utilisateur crée, édite, extrait et stocke des notes. Un procédé de synchronisation transmet les annotations générées par l'utilisateur du client au serveur. En réaction, le serveur envoie un accusé de réception assorti de toutes les nouvelles notes que d'autres clients pourraient avoir remises depuis la dernière synchronisation. Plusieurs clients peuvent annoter un document de façon asynchrone, puisque le document est hébergé par un serveur Web central. Lorsque les annotations sont remises au serveur par un client, l'état de la base de données d'annotations est resynchronisé de manière que tous les autres clients puissent extraire les annotations courantes et actualisées associées à un document.

Abstract: In a method for inter-frequency handover of a mobile station from forward and reverse links with a current base station of a wireless cellular system to new forward and reverse links usually with a new base station utilizing a CDMA modulation type, dropped calls are substantially eliminated by increasing spreading factor during the handover. Thus, a handover command is sent from the current base station to the mobile station which identifies a new operating frequency, a final spreading factor, and a starting spreading factor which is at least double, and preferably at least four times, the final spreading factor. The mobile station switches its operating frequency in accordance with the identified new operating frequency, and establishes new forward and reverse links from the mobile station at the new operating frequency and the identified starting spreading factor with the new base station. The mobile station then signals the new base station that the handover is complete and the frame number of the detected frame. The new base station and the mobile station switch to the final spreading factor a predetermined number of frames after this frame number.
