Granted: 2002-12-17
Abstract: A fault indicator contained within a protective equipment closure of the type used to house pad-mounted components of a power distribution system detects the occurrence of a fault current in a monitored conductor and provides a light indication thereof. The fault indicator includes a circuit monitoring module, having an integral fault indicator flag module, and a remote fault indicator light module. A status-indicating flag is rotatably mounted in the integral fault indicator flag module. The flag is positioned in either a reset indicating position or a fault indicating position by a magnetic pole piece, which is magnetized in one magnetic direction or the other by momentary application of a current in one direction or the other to an actuator winding on the pole piece. A magnetically actuated reed switch in an auxiliary magnetic circuit comprising an auxiliary pole piece magnetized by the actuator winding and a bias magnet magnetically aligned to oppose the reset magnetic orientation and reenforce the trip magnetic orientation of the magnetic pole piece closes upon occurrence of the fault current to connect an internal battery to an LED contained within the remote fault indicator light module so that the LED is visible from the exterior of the protective equipment enclosure. The sufficiency of the energy level of the battery may be tested by actuating a magnetically actuated reed switch contained within the remote fault indicator light module, which likewise connects the battery to the LED.

Title: Communications network
Inventor: HUNT ROWLAND GEOFFREY
IPC: H04Q3/66
Filed: 1998-01-14
Granted: 2007-07-03
Abstract: In a communications network, a count (82) is maintained of the number of calls made to a selected number. The number may be that of an answering centre (6) or of any other destination which has the capacity to handle a multiplity of calls simultaneously. The count is automatically updated when calls are admitted to the number and when they are terminated. If a new call would take the number of calls in progress above a stored value for the maximum capacity of the number, then the call is rejected. In one implementation, resources are allocated dynamically on an Overload Control Server (66) to a particular destination number only when congestion occurs.  The stored value for the capacity may be amended automatically depending on the response of the network to admitted calls. The value for the capacity may initially be estimated as a function of the holding times for calls to the destination number.

Abstract: A method of controlling a temperature of a surface of a direct chill cast ingot cast in an open-ended mould provided with a bottom block during early stages of casting as the ingot emerges from the open-ende d mould. The method involves the steps of directing a flow of a coolant onto at least one surface of an ingot emerging from an open-end ed mould to impinge on the surface at a normal impingement point and to cool the surface, measuring a surface temperature on the emergi ng ingot at at least one measurement location which is at a predetermined position close enough to the normal impingement point to be affected by the secondary coolant, to generate a measured surface temperature, determining the displacement of the bottom block of the casting machine from its initial position at the start of the cast, corresponding to each of the surface temperature measurement, and using the measured surface temperature to control a casting variable and thereby to control the temperature of the surface. The invention also relates to apparatus for carrying out the above method and to a method of measuring the surface temperature.
