Abstract: The invention relates to a piloted valve, in particular an electropneumatic control valve for a pneumatic brake system of a vehicle. Said valve comprises a divided valve housing, in which at least one control piston that can be axially displaced for actuating a valve seat arrangement, which switches the compressed air flow between external connections, is located. The control piston can be impinged by at least one electromagnetic pilot valve to cause the axial displacement, said valve being lodged in a pilot valve housing part that is connected to the relay valve housing part, whereby a pressure compensation channel with multiple bends is configured in the vicinity of the wall of the control chamber in the valve housing for bleeding a pressureless hollow chamber in the interior of the valve. The outlet opening of said channel that leads to the exterior is located at a distance behind a cover hood on the valve housing and is protected against water splashes. The section of said channel that lies in close proximity to the hollow chamber is provided with an interchangeable pressure compensation element.

Abstract: A system for producing gas from a gas hydrate formation includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode is disposed in proximity of a first region of the formation, and the second electrode is disposed within a second region of the formation. The second electrode is separated from the first electrode by an electro-conductive path through the formation. An extraction well extends within the formation and intersects the electro-conductive path. The well comprises one or more perforations in fluid communication with the formation. A voltage source is connected to the electrodes and operates to produce a voltage difference across the electrodes. A method for extracting gases from a gas hydrate formation includes the step of establishing a voltage difference across two or more electrodes in a hydrate formation to thermally react with the hydrate formation and release gas from the formation.

Abstract: A contact thermostatic switch has a dished, snap-acting bimetallic disc 5 cantilevered from one end of a diameter. The edge of the disc is loosely retained between a housing moulding 1 and a metal cap 6 secured to the moulding. At the other end of this diameter, the edge of the bimetallic disc engages a pip 4d on one end of a lever 4 which is pivotally-mounted in the housing at its other end. When the bimetallic disc 5 snaps to its oppositely dished configuration, it moves the pivotally-mounted lever 4 so as to determine the condition of a set of switch contacts by virtue of the end of the lever 4 which carries the pip 4d also having depending fingers 4c which abut a moving-contact carrying leaf spring 2b of the switch. The cantilevered mounting of the bimetallic disc and its interaction with the lever enables a smaller than conventional disc to be used, with consequent significant cost savings, without prejudicing the operation of the switch.

Abstract: The combination of narrowband applications with broadband transport may be enabled with a tri-level nodal communications architecture including multiple call control nodes, multiple connection control nodes and one or more intermediates node for interworking between the call control nodes and connection control nodes, in which the intermediate node(s) are controlled by all of the call control nodes. In certain embodiment(s), the identity of the call control node is transmitted to the intermediate node with each message to differentiate between the multiple call control nodes. In addition, each resource (e.g., port) managed by the intermediate node has a call control node identity associated therewith. In further embodiments, a logical port is used to support connections between call control nodes sharing the same intermediate node. The logical port represents a logical E 1 path between the two call control nodes.
