Title: Method and device for measuring the pole position angle of a magnetic levitation vehicle of a magnetic levitation system
Inventor: SCHMID ROBERT
IPC: B60L13/06
Filed: 2009-05-20
Abstract: The invention relates, inter alia, to a method for measuring the pole position angle (  q  ) between the magnetic field (S) of a track-side stator (30) of a magnetic levitation system track and the magnetic reference axis (Bf) of a magnetic levitation vehicle (10) which is located on the magnetic levitation system track, wherein, when the levitation magnet of the magnetic levitation vehicle (10) is energized, a direction component of the magnetic field of the stator, which component is predefined by a preferred measurement direction (Vm1, Vm2) of the magnetic field sensors, is measured using a pair (120, 130) of magnetic field sensors, and the pole position angle is determined using the measured values of the two magnetic field sensors. The invention makes provision for the preferred measurement direction to be set in such a way that at least one of the two magnetic field sensors (120) has a minimum measurement sensitivity for the magnetic field (T) of the levitation magnet (60).

Title: A directed graph behaviour model for monitoring a computer system in which each node of the graph represents an event generated by an application
Inventor: HASSAN HANY MOHAMED
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2009-08-06
Abstract: A set of at least one event generated by the application is received and stored in a database. The set of events corresponds to a path in the directed graph and is associated with an attribute, e.g. a process name, an instance ID or customer type. The frequency of occurrence of such sets in the database is determined and a weight, being a function of the determined frequency, is assigned to the corresponding path 1140 — 1152 in the graph. The probability of occurrence of a node in the path is determined as a function of the weight. A computer system, comprising an application, may be monitored according to the behaviour model; a message generated by the application corresponding to an event in the graph and the likelihood of occurrence of the message being determined and compared with a predefined threshold. The state of the computer system is determined as a function of the comparison: anomalous or not.

Title: Improvements in and relating to alarm valves for sprinkler systems
IPC: A62C35/64
Filed: 1926-04-19
Abstract: 255,783. Moore, E. L. April 19, 1926. Alarms operated by flowing liquid in sprinkling systems.-An alarm-operating device is arranged in a byepass in a sprinkling system, so that it operates immediately on fusion of a head and irrespective of the water pressure in the main. As shown in Fig. 1, a sprinkler system 1, 3, 4 having either a wet or dry valve device 2 is provided with a byepass 7, 6 leading from below the valve 2 and containing the alarm device 5. For a wet pipe system the alarm device, Fig. 2, comprises a chamber 8 communicating with the main pipe 1 by the pipe 7 and valve 10, and with the sprinkler pipe 4 by a valve 12, chamber 11 and pipe 6. Water in the chamber 8 is maintained at a pressure slightly less than that in the pipes 4 by means of a valved connection 13 with the chamber 11, but slightly greater than that in the pipe 7. Gauges 18 .. 20 indicate the pressure at the several points. An air chamber 15 may be arranged to subject the water in the chamber 8 to the. desired pressure. When a sprinkler head opens, the valves 10, 12 rise and water entering the chamber 11 flows by a passage 33 in the valve seat 34 to the interior of an expanding capsule 31. This pushes outwardly a plunger 28 and rocks a latch-lever 26 to release a weighted lever 23 which then closes an electric alarm contact 21. The latch-lever also releases a lever 41 to lower a valve 37 to allow water to enter and operate a water motor generator 35, which might sound a gong. When the valve 12 rises, it also releases a spring plunger 74 to rock a pointer 70 which indicates when the valve is open. Suitable drain tubes are provided for the various parts of the device. The pipe 7 may communicate with a pressure reservoir instead of with the main pipe 1. The byepass 7, 6 may be so extended that the alarm device mav be placed at any desired point. In a dry-pipe system, the valve 12 is replaced by a small valve connected to a flexible diaphragm in the dry pipe side of the byepass. Where a sprinkler system is divided into several sections each with its own supply riser, a single alarm device may be used by connecting the sprinkler pipes of the various sections in order to equalize the pressure therein. In another arrangement, a system may comprise a wet pipe and a dry pipe section each operating an appropriate alarm device. In this case, the movement of the alarm pointer will indicate which section is operative. Where a single alarm device is provided for two sections supplied by a single supply pipe, a byepass may be arranged around the cock separating the sections, to ensure operation of the alarm whichever section is opened.

Title: Improvements in pyrophoric lighters
IPC: F23Q2/06
Filed: 1946-03-06
Abstract: 590,958. Pyrophoric lighters. LAKEY, H., and CELESTION, Ltd. March 6, 1946, No. 10405/45. [Class 75 (iii)] In a pyrophoric lighter comprising a friction wheel 14 which is carried on a rotatably mounted shaft 35 provided with a knurled operating wheel 37 the wick cap 10 being carried by a sleeve 40 coaxial with the shaft, the wheel 37 is connected to the shaft 35 through ,a ratchet mechanism and to the sleeve 40 by friction. As shown, the operating wheel 37 is slidably mounted on a plug 38 and sleeve 40 is rotatable on shaft 35, a compression spring 39 being inserted between the end faces of sleeve 40 and the diaphragm 36 of the operating wheel, to provide a frictional drive between these two elements, which yields when the wick cap is fully open. A ratchet member 41 secured to the diaphragm 36 is normally urged by spring 39 against a ratchet wheel 42 secured to the end of shaft 35, giving a positive connection between operating wheel 37 and shaft 35. This permits the operating wheel 37 to be rotated in the reverse direction, so closing the wick cap 10 without moving,the friction wheel 14 as the ratchet 42 disengages from member 41 owing to axial movement of operating wheel 37 against the pressure of spring 39.

Abstract: 577,126. Snap-action switches. BRITISH MECHANICAL PRODUCTIONS, Ltd., and FUKE, F. C. May 30, 1944, No. 10416. [Class 38 (v)] A switch is arranged to close a circuit by rocking a contact arm through a dead centre to bridge two fixed contacts forming a bearing in which the contact arm may float. The pushrod 22 of D-section is in two parts joined by a screw 32 engaging a slot 36 in the base 20, so limiting the travel of member 22. The rocking contact arms 35 are pivoted to springs 37, pivoted on pins 33 in the member 22 to provide the snap-action, and the outer ends of the arms 35 have a floating bearing formed by a channel between the fixed contacts 23, 24 which they bridge in the " closed " position, the arms resting on contacts 24 in the " open " position. A dome covers the live parts and is secured between arcuate flanges 21 by screws 30. The outer ends of the rocking arms may be of ball, roller or other arcuate shape or have separate rollers, Figs. 7, 9 (not shown). The snap-action may, alternatively, be provided by U-shaped springs or by a single helical spring insulated from the rocking arms, Figs. 7, 5 (not shown). In place of the double-pole, one-way arrangement described, single-pole one-way or two-way switching may be provided, respectively, by idle bearing of one rocking arm or by cross-connection of diagonallyopposed contacts 24. An intermediate switch may be provided by so introducing auxiliary fixed contacts that in one position the rocking arm rests on the two main fixed contacts, while in the other position it rests on an auxiliary contact and one main contact. In a tumbler switch, Fig. 8, the rocking-arm 35 carrying a contact roller and a dead-centre spring 45 is operated by a dolly 44. Specification 552,181 is referred to.
