IPC: B61L11/04

Abstract: A switch machine for railroad switches or the
like, having a device for opposing trailing of the
switch points, which switch machine comprises: a drive
unit (12, 18, 120, 21, 24) for transmitting linear
throw motion to the switch points (A1, A2, A1', A2'),
by a movable switch point carrier member (12, 18),
which is dynamically connected to a motor (M); switch
point displacing drive means (120, 21, 220), which are
connected to said carrier member by connections (220,
518) which are releasable when a predetermined force is
exceeded to allow free motion of the drive means, hence
of the switch points relative to the carrier member;
trailing resistant means (50, 50'), for opposing
displacement of the switch points, i.e. of the drive
means (21, 120) from each of the two proper operating
positions of the switch points due to the direct
exertion of a force on the switch points. According to
the invention, the trailing resistant means (50, 50')
for opposing displacement of the switch points, which
are integral with a stationary portion of the switch
machine are made in such a manner as to have a
predetermined rupture behavior when the force exerted
thereon exceeds a predetermined value, so that they
break and release the drive means under the action of a
predetermined switch point displacement force directly
exerted on the switch points, particularly by the
wheels of a rail car.

Abstract: A callback service for completing a call from a calling party to a mobile station of a called party that was not previously completed due to no response. After the call was not completed due to no response, the mobile station is monitored to determine if it has moved, and when movement is determined to have occurred, a callback is initiated between the calling party and the called party. The movement is a good indication that the called party has moved the mobile station and may therefore be available to receive the call. The movement of the mobile station is preferably determined by detecting that the mobile station has changed its location utilizing mobile positioning technology. The service will generally result in more calls being completed and in their being completed in less time.

Abstract: in the context of matching a laser diode (154) with a laser driver IC (20), a
microwave stub (166, 200, 202, 220, 222) is used in place of a conventional
shunt resistor/capacitor network and takes advantage of radio
frequency/microwave effects of electrical conductors on high frequency signals.
The microwave stub (166, 200, 202, 220, 222) is a piece of microwave
transmission line with a characteristic impedance defined by its physical
dimensions and the PCB material of which it is made. With a transmission line
having a characteristic of a distributed set of capacitors and inductors, the
transmission line can be tuned to work over a range of frequencies by changing
its operating length/width. A capacitor (168) is used to short circuit between the
microwave stub (166, 200, 202, 220, 222) and ground (170), with the position of
the capacitor along the microwave stub (166, 200, 202, 220, 222) determining
the operating length (and hence the frequency) of the microwave transmission
line. According to the present invention, therefore, a matching network can be
tuned simply by changing the position of the capacitor along the microwave stub
(166, 200, 202, 220, 222) instead of having to have a number of different valued
capacitors to hand.

Abstract: The invention provides a semiconductor laser module which can suppress overcurrent flowing into a thermo-module, wherein the thermo-module (5) carries out a heating action when a reverse current flows from lead pin (16f) through lead pin (16a), and contrarily carries out a cooling action when a current flows from the lead pin (16a) through the lead pin (16f). An overcurrent limiting means (20) is provided, which can suppress overcurrent flowing into the thermo-module (5) in its heating direction. The overcurrent limiting circuit (20) is provided with a bypass line (21), a resistor (22), and a diode (23). When a current flows in the heating direction, the diode (23) is turned on, whereby the current is shunted to the thermo-module (5) and bypass line (21) for flow, and accordingly, the overcurrent flowing into the thermo-module (5) can be effectively suppressed.

Abstract: Simulating fluid flow in a subterranean reservoir comprises modelling a network of volume elements. Each element includes a fissure and matrix and the fluid flow between them is determined. The reservoir includes a network of fluid conductors having a known geometry but which are not homogeneous at the scale of the volume elements. The overall transmissivity of each conductor is determined from the transmissivity of the conductor within each of the elements it crosses. When the reservoir is in very permeable sedimentary rock, the transmissivity value depends on the size of each element and its contact area with adjacent elements. The transmissivity of each fissure depends on the size of the element, the thickness of the fissure and its intrinsic permeability. The reservoir may be simulated by a transform comprising a network of uniform blocks separated by a network of regular fissures.

Abstract: An apparatus for improving signal mismatch compensation between first and
second RF signals comprises: at least one switch which applies a first RF
signal, present on a first pathway, and a second RF signal, present on a second
pathway, to respective first and second frequency mixers, during a first time
period; the mixers provide a first pair of mixed first and second RF signals.
Means for reversing the at least one switch, during a subsequent time period is
provided so that the first RF signal is applied to the second mixer, via the
second pathway, and the second RF signal is applied to the first mixer, via the
first pathway. The mixers thereby provide a second pair of mixed first and
second RF signals. Monitoring monitors respective first and second pairs of
mixed RF signals during an interval. The monitoring means provides time
averaged values for the first and second signals in each of said first and second
pairs of RF signals, so that effects of signal mismatch on the first and second
RF signals are minimised in each channel, by subjecting said RF signals in
each channel, for substantially the same time, to the same pathways.
