Abstract: The invention relates to a device for monitoring a conveyor system, comprising a distribution point, where the conveyed material falls from a first distributing conveyor belt onto a second receiving conveyor belt (3), whereby the first and second conveyor belt consist of an elastomer material with embedded tractive supports. A distribution chute (5) is also located in the area of the distribution point, in addition to other installation parts, such as a driving drum, return drum, support rollers (8), support frames (6) and optionally other components. The inventive device is characterised in that an opto-electronic system (15) is provided in the problem area, in particular, in the area of the distribution point, where a material blockage can occur and/or a foreign body can penetrate the conveyor belt. Said opto-electronic system can trigger an acoustic and/or optical warning signal, or can cause the conveyor belt to be automatically shut off, before severe damage can occur.

Abstract: The multiple access communication system according to the invention comprises at least one primary station (2) and a plurality of secondary stations (32, 34, 36). The primary station (2) and the secondary stations (32, 34, 36) are interconnected via a network, e.g. a coaxial cable network or a hybrid fiber/coax network. The secondary stations (32, 34, 36) can transmit return signals in a return signal frequency band to the primary station (2). However, the secondary stations (32, 34, 36) are arranged for transmitting the return signals in only a part of the return signal frequency band containing relatively little noise, e.g. the upper part of the return signal frequency band. The network comprises means (40) for mapping the return signals of the secondary stations (32, 34, 36) onto the full return signal frequency band, e.g. by means of a frequency converter (48, 50). In this way, the communication system is much less sensitive to noise, while still the same number of secondary stations (32, 34, 36) can be handled by the communication system.

Abstract: A call centre associated with an intelligent network has no service-specific executable application software running on its operator positions. Instead, each computer stores a set of templates which define respective screen displays, including text display areas and text input areas, and also a set of corporate logos. When an intelligent peripheral of the network is not able to proceed with a call in accordance with an application, a failure notification is sent to the network, which reroutes, i.e. connects, that call to the call centre and sends a message including an identifier for template to be used by an operator position in generating a screen display. The operator interacts with the customer, obtains information and enters this in the text entry areas, sends a return message to the network, which then sends a message containing an identifier for a template to be used for the next stage of that application.
