Abstract: A telecommunications system including a plurality of mobile telephones has a switch network including: data storage units (HLR) for storing connection data relating to respective mobile telephones; a register (15) for storing associations between data storage units and respective identification codes; inputs for inputting an identification code; and a switch unit (30, 31) for interrogating the register (15) to permit determination of the data storage unit (HLR) associated with that identification code. The switch network then uses the connection data stored by the data storage unit (HLR) to form a telecommunication link with the corresponding mobile telephone. The register unit (15) has two states. In a first state the register unit (15) and switch unit (30, 31) determine the data storage unit (HLR) associated with the input identification code. In a second state, the register unit (15) is linked to a routing unit (40). The routing unit (40) may then handle the call in one of various different ways such as re-routing the call back to the network or terminating the call. The state of the register unit (15) is determined by a condition such as time of day or origin of call.

Abstract: A system for controlling the seating of an engine valve is disclosed. The system is designed to bring a hydraulically actuated engine valve to a soft landing on its valve seat. The velocity of the engine valve is reduced as it approaches its seat by progressively throttling the escape of hydraulic fluid from a chamber. The chamber is pressurized as a result of the valve approaching its seat. Accordingly, as the valve approaches its seat, the pressure in the chamber increases, causing the force that opposes the closing motion of the engine valve to increase.

Abstract: A modified unacknowledge mode of a telecommunications system interface is defined by providing for a special signaling indication by way of a selected packet, signaling sequence, message, or the like, from a transmitting side to a receiving side that a given message, packet, cell, signaling sequence, or the like is to be treated specially, despite the unacknowledge mode being used, by acknowledging receipt thereof at the receiving side back to the transmitting side. In this way, certain important messages can be acknowledged, while less important messages can be sent without acknowledgement. This reduces the need for wasteful use of capacity for applications in which some of the messages are more important than others to be received correctly.
