Inventor: STRICKLAND DAVID PETER
IPC: H04Q3/64
Filed: 2007-12-28
Abstract: A solution for the Network Address Translation (NAT) traversal problem for Real Time Protocol (RTP) is provided, which uses an RTP Proxy (e.g., a Session Border Controller (SBC)), instead of being logically located between the NAT and the Feature Server (FS), but instead, for devices which use a protocol unsupported by the SBC, having these devices first signal the Feature Server, which determines whether and how an RTP proxy should be invoked. An RTP proxy should be invoked by the FS if Both endpoints (e.g., devices) are behind different NATs (or one of the endpoints is behind a NAT and the other is not) and neither of the endpoints are already signaled through an RTP proxy. For example, the SBC is interposed (at least logically) between the Feature Server and other shared components.

Title: Device for removing coffee grounds from special coffee capsules made of aluminium and for reducing the size of said capsules
Inventor: FRANSSEN GUY-JACQUES
IPC: A47J31/06
Filed: 2008-04-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating the aluminium of used coffee capsule by removing the coffee grounds therefrom and by reducing the overall dimensions by crushing them for recycling. The device includes an emptying piston (2) for punching the body of the used capsule (1) in order to turn the housing inside out. The coffee grounds (5) are ejected by the explosion of the perforated wall and are recovered in a first vessel. After removing the emptying piston (2), a lateral movement piston (3) urges the empty capsule towards a crushing piston (4). The crushed capsule (17) then falls into a second vessel intended therefore. The actuation of the operational handle (7) of the coffee machine (10) controls the pistons (2, 3, 4). The device is intended for separating coffee residue from aluminium.

Abstract: A software and/or hardware facility for managing project schedules having inherent uncertainty. The facility allows users to create hierarchical data structures to model projects and other collective efforts. The hierarchical data structures contain work items that can represent tasks, collections of tasks and collections of collections and tasks. Each work item can have associated with it an estimate provided by a user, such as a ranged estimate of the amount of work remaining before the work item is completed.  Based at least in part on the provided estimate, the facility can calculate expected start and finish dates for each work item. By calculating expected start and finish dates for all or most of the work items in a project, the facility is able to calculate an expected end date for the entire project. By basing the calculation on ranged estimates, the facility can account for the uncertainty inherent in projects.

Abstract: Cutters for disrupting tissue include a cutter body and replaceable cutter blades. The cutter blades may be placed in one of three positions (sheathed for transport, unsheathed for use, and sufficiently exposed for blade exchange) by the relative movement of a cutter sheath with respect to the engagement zone between the cutter blade and the cutter body. The relative movement of the cutter sheath may be limited to an operational range to preclude inadvertent exposure of the cutter blade to prevent unintended disengagement from the cutter body. Various sheath limiters are disclosed that selectively limit movement of the cutter sheath to an operational range or allow extraordinary movement to allow blade exchange.  In some instances other intermediate stops may be used to further limit the relative motion. The relative motion could be imparted by the movement of a cutter rod and thus limited by a rod limiter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to flow devices that measure a characteristic of a flowing substance and methods for operating flow devices. In one embodiment, a drive (40) is provided that receives a first signal (55) for vibrating at least one conduit (20) at a resonance frequency and a second signal (56) for vibrating the at least one conduit (20) at a frequency that is different than the resonance frequency. In another embodiment, a drive (140) is provided that alternates between receiving a drive signal (155) to vibrate at least one conduit (120) at a resonance frequency and providing a pick-off signal (145) for measuring motion of the at least one conduit (120). In another embodiment, one or more electronics (50, 150) are provided that determine a mode of vibration of at least one conduit (20, 120) and compare the determined mode of vibration to one or more reference modes of vibration to determine whether a substance is flowing within the at least one conduit (20, 120). The principals of the present invention may be used to determine whether a substance is flowing within a conduit (20), the direction which a substance is flowing within a conduit (20), and the mass flow rate of a substance flowing within a conduit (20). Furthermore, the principals of the present invention may be used to determine whether a pick-off (30) and another pick-off (30) are functioning properly on a flow device.

Abstract: In a mounting device with at least one mounting aperture that is situated in a flange and penetrated by a mounting screw, it is proposed to provide the flange with at least one slot on the edge of the mounting aperture. Furthermore, the diameter of the mounting aperture is smaller than the outside diameter of the screw thread of the mounting screw. Consequently, the elastic material properties of the flange are utilized in a particularly advantageous fashion because a certain force needs to be exerted in order to screw the mounting screw into the mounting aperture or out of the mounting aperture. This ensures that the mounting screw also cannot readily detach from the mounting aperture during long-lasting vibrations, i.e., it is captively held in the mounting aperture. This is particularly important if the mounting device comprises a grounding element that forms part of a connector and features the aforementioned flange, wherein said grounding element is designed for being snapped into an insulating member and for being transported to the assembly into a connector housing together with this insulating member.
