Title: A services conduit passage
Inventor: MCCALL ANDREW
IPC: F16L5/10
Filed: 2008-07-23
Abstract: A device allowing a services conduit 150, such as a pipe or cable, to pass through a double skin wall comprising a first member (fig 1, 12) associated with the first skin and a second member (fig 1, 14) associated with the second skin and the two members being movable relative to each other. The first (fig 1, 12) and second (fig 1, 14) members are fixed relative to the first and second skins respectively. The members engage and form a seal with the first (fig 1, 12) and second (fig 1, 14) members in a sliding relationship which may be vertical. The motion is unidirectional and the members fixed to only allow unidirectional motion. The first member (fig 1, 12) can comprise a passage 118 for a services conduit 150 which is adapted to pass through the first skin. The passage may be cylindrical or rectangular and may be adjustable in length. The passage 118 is adapted to attach to the external surface of the first skin. The passage 118 can define a shroud 186 which is fixed with respect to the passage 118 and grips the services conduit 150 adapted to pass through the shroud 186. The second member (fig 1, 14) is shaped to permit movement relative to the services conduit 150 and may be a slot (fig 1, 24). The second member (fig 1, 14) may comprise a curtain which may be fixed or slidable relative to the second member (fig 1, 14) and comprises two portions which separate and are biased to the closed position. The curtain defines and aperture for the services conduit 150 to pass through it, the services conduit 150 can be adapted to pass through the curtain.

Title: Handling, by a call centre a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Capable Telecommunications Terminal that is Put on Hold
Inventor: ERHART GEORGE WILLIAM
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2008-09-23
Abstract: A method is disclosed that enables the proper treatment of a queued call by a call centre, or other data-processing system capable of queuing calls, in which the calling terminal of the queued call has been put on hold by its user. The call center is able to detect the terminal being put on hold by monitoring for a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) re-INVITE request, in which the session description signifies an on-hold condition. When it is determined that the calling terminal is on hold, the call center modifies its treatment of the queued call. For example, the call center might freeze the call's position in the queue until the calling party takes the phone off of hold. As another example, the call center might allow the call to work its way to the top of the queue, with the terminal on hold, and then maintain the call's position at the top of the queue until a service agent is available.

Title: Photovoltaic panel seals
Inventor: SAUAR ERIK
IPC: C03C27/10
Filed: 2008-09-24
Abstract: Photovoltaic cell structures are located in between a front and back side glass substrate aligned in parallel, preheated solder glass is deposited along the perimeter of the glass substrates covering the gap between the front and back glass substrates, and pressure is applied onto the deposited solder glass to form a seal encapsulating the space in between the front and back side glass substrates. Heating the solder glass sealing material prior to deposition onto the glass substrate reduces the exposure of the photovoltaic cells to the high temperatures necessary for forming a solder glass seal between the front and back glass substrates.

Title: Integrated Multilayer Network Restoration using Hybrid Network Elements.
Inventor: TSIRAKAKIS GEORGE
IPC: H04L12/64
Filed: 2008-11-24
Abstract: A hybrid network element for establishing ports/interfaces from one layer (A) to another layer (B) during fault restoration, in order to re-route one (A) layer's failed traffic over these new interfaces to free bandwidth over Layer B, and back to Layer A again. Hybrid network elements are network elements having functionalities of multiple layers and they can process channel connections of multiple layers at the same time. They can be used to join the segmented free bandwidth scattered across layers by creating interfaces (interconnections) between layers dynamically. Therefore a complete connection could be formed to reroute some failed bandwidth. Multilayer network architectures are very common today. Each layer (IP, ATM, SDH, WDM etc) does not have knowledge and can not see the channel connections and the free bandwidth in them in the other layers. The result of this is that during fault restoration segmented free bandwidth may exist across different layers which could not be utilised. We are proposing the use of hybrid network elements for more efficient fault restoration.

Patent GB-2466804-A (GB)
Title: Bidirectional battery charger protection circuitry
Inventor: BRERETON RICHARD PETER
IPC: H02H3/08
Filed: 2009-01-07
Abstract: Charger protection circuitry 110 for a rechargeable battery 130 is coupled between the rechargeable battery and a battery charger 140. During a charging operation of the battery, charge current flows through the charger protection circuitry in a first direction A. The charger protection circuitry comprises a main current tripping element 410 for interrupting current flow if the current reaches a first predetermined level, a switch element 420, and an auxiliary current tripping element 440 connected in parallel with the switch element for interrupting current flow if the current reaches a second predetermined level lower than the first predetermined level. A switch controller 430 is used to turn the switch element on and off in dependence on a direction of current flow through the charger protection circuitry. If current is flowing in the first direction A the switch controller turns on the switch element such that the auxiliary current tripping element is bypassed, whereby the main current tripping element controls interruption of current flow. If instead current is flowing in a second direction B opposite to the first direction, the switch controller turns off the switch element, whereby the auxiliary current tripping element is connected into the current flow path to control interruption of current flow.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electromagnetic signalling for aerodromes
IPC: G01S1/02
Filed: 1931-04-07
Abstract: 375,887. Leader gear for assisting navigation. SOC. INDUSTRIELLE DES PROC•D•S W. A. LOTH, 20, Avenue Kleber, Paris. April 7, 1931, No. 10261. Convention date, April 9, 1930. [Class 40 (v).] For defining the position of an aerodrome, differing electromagnetic fields are produced outside and inside the aerodrome and a further field inside the aerodrome detectable only below a certain height. The emitting plant comprises an A.C. generator 3, Fig. 4, feeding cables a, b<1>, b<2>, c, d arranged on the landing ground, through a rotating distributer 6 shown developed. The height indicating radiation is produced by the conductors c, d of which only two are shown and which are arranged at ground level, the conductors preferably being buried. Alternate conductors are fed in the opposite direction to produce a field rapidly decreasing with height. To produce different signals inside and outside the aerodrome the direction of current in the conductor a is reversed periodically relative to that in conductor b<1>, b<2>, e.g. so as to produce dots outside and dashes inside the cables, by means of the distributer 6. As shown, the " dash " signals inside the aerodrome are produced during the movement T of the distributer, the dot " signals outside together with the " dot signals from height indicating cables during the movement P and for the movement D, the cable a only is energized to produce a signal of greater range than any of the others. At the receiver, Fig. 5, a horizontal and a vertical frame aerial, 7 and 8 respectively, are alternately brought into operation by an oscillating valve 9 and feed a detector 10 and amplifier 11, the frequency of the oscillator 9 being such as to render the signals audible if their frequency is above audibility. The vertical frame may be used to find the direction of the centre of the aerodrome. The receiving means may act automatically on the steering member of the moving vehicle.
