Title: Improvements in or relating to change-speed gears
IPC: B60K17/10
Filed: 1926-01-11
Abstract: 272,258. Craig, J. F. N. Jan. 11, 1926. Facilitating changing speed. - The right moment at which change of gear may be effected without shock is selected automatically by fluid operated on by two pumps, driven by driving and driven shafts respectively. At a gate 19 is a chamber which is exhausted by a pump 11, Fig. 1, driven by the engine shaft, air being discharged at a vent 16. A measured volume of air is drawn in at 16 and returned to the gate 19 by a pump 10 driven from the driven shaft. Thus the suction in the gate chamber is a function of the speeds of driving and driven shafts jointly. Pressure-responsive devices are selectively operated by such suction so as to control the change of gear. Such devices may comprise pistons 36, Figs. 2 and 3, movable in vertical cylinders 35 and normally held lifted by springs 38 so as to pre. vent two rods 43 from sliding longitudinally. Each rod 43 carries two locking flaps 44, 45 each closing a notch in the gate 19. The cylinders 35 are interconnected by ports 40 which with connecting pipes 20, 21 form the gate chamber. When a gear may be engaged without shock, the piston 36 near the notch corresponding is sucked downwards so as to present a free passage-way 50 to the end of the rod 43. The control lever 34 may then move the unlocked flap 44 or 45 with it into the corresponding gate notch 30 or 33. Roller and ball antifriction devices 47 are provided on the rods 43. The pressure of the fluid, which may be oil, may be used as a relay device in effecting the speed change. According to the Provisional Specification, the pressure-responsive devices may ba electromagnetic.

Title: Method and control device for the distribution of the volume of traffic among different control channels of a radio network
Inventor: GRAUEL CHRISTOPH DR ING
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1991-11-14
Abstract: A cellular radio system in which the mobile radio stations in the zone of any base radio station assign themselves to the control channels allocated to that base station so as to evenly spread the volume of traffic over such control channels. The base station transmits on each control channel a channel group code signifying the range of group code numbers allocated to that particular control channel. Each mobile station stores its identifying group code number, scans the group code numbers of all control channels, and assigns itself to the control channel having a channel group code which includes its group code number. The spread of traffic over the various control channels can be changed by the base radio station simply by changing the channel group codes of the various control channels, without addressing specific commands to the mobile radio station.
