Title: Controlling frequency and time offset of base station transmissions; selecting channels and transmission powers
Inventor: JOHNSON NICHOLAS DOUGALL
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2000-07-14
Abstract: A radio telecommunication system, and in particular an in-building system, comprises a number of basestations connected together by a local area network (LAN) at least one of the basestations (BS) is capable of receiving a control channel transmitted by one or more of the other basestations (BS) of the telecommunication systems, from which it derives frequency reference and time base synchronisation data to enable the basestation to correct the frequency and time offset of its own transmissions with respect to the other basestatations (BS) in the system. Also connected to the LAN is a controller (PC). The controller receives transmission measurement signals from each of the basestations (BS) and processes these transmission measurement signals to select radio frequency channels on which the basestations of the system should transmit to minimise interference with an external telecommunications system. The controller (PC) also receives transmission measurement signals from the basestations (BS) that are used to determine the power at which the basestations of the telecommunication system should transmit.

Title: Filter with automatic backwashing
Inventor: WARING BRIAN DENIS
IPC: B01D35/05
Filed: 2001-06-02
Abstract: A filter 2 is automatically backwashed with filtrate (from tank 3) when it clogs. Pump 1 pumps raw water through filter 2 into washwater tank 3 and service line 4. When the filter clogs, the head of water in pipe 5 upstream of the filter 2 actuates a float switch 6 which stops the pump 1. The filtrate in washwater tank 3 then flows through the filter in the reverse direction. After a time set by timer 7, the backwashing operation stops and filtering begins again. Fig 1b has a delivery valve (11), and an exhaust valve (9) leading to a sump (10) for the backwashed liquid. In Fig 2, clogging is sensed by a differential pressure gauge (15) connected across the filter 2 and the washwater tank (12) has an air release and air inlet valve (17). In Fig 1a there are 2 pumps, one for filtering, and one (4) for backwashing.

Title: Calculating brake wear and/or thickness for each wheel of a vehicle and use of a polynomial wear model
Inventor: SOKOLL GUNTHER
IPC: F16D66/00
Filed: 2001-06-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of monitoring the thickness of at least one friction partner of a vehicle friction brake, such as brake linings or disks, wherein the actuating time t, and measurements or estimates of the brake actuating pressure p, the relative speed u between brake elements and their temperature   r   are taken into account in a wear model. The wear calculated by the wear model is subtracted from an initial thickness of a friction partner individually for each wheel of the vehicle. A polynomial formula for the wear model of the form<BR> <BR> dV=(A<SB>2</SB>  r  <SP>2</SP> + A<SB>1</SB>  r   + A<SB>0</SB>) . (B<SB>2</SB>p<SP>2</SP> + B<SB>1</SB>p + B<SP>0</SP>) . (C<SB>2</SB>u<SP>2</SP> + C<SB>1</SB>u + C<SB>0</SB>) . Dt<BR> <BR> is preferred, where A<SB>2</SB>..A<SB>0</SB>, B<SB>2</SB>..B<SB>0</SB> and C<SB>2</SB>..C<SB>0</SB> are constants. Wear mark(s) may be provided in the brake lining, upon reaching which the calculated brake lining thickness in the model and/or the polynomial formulation may be corrected in highly abrasive conditions. Correction factors to account for different wear between front and rear axles may be applied. An electronic monitoring unit may perform the calculations, store values in a memory, and record when replacement brake elements are fitted.

Title: Ultrasonic monitoring and controlling of a screwing process
Inventor: SCHNEIDER ECKHARDT
IPC: B23P19/06
Filed: 2001-08-10
Abstract: Ultrasonic pulses are repeatedly coupled into the screw starting from the head of the screw using a pulse-echo method before and during the tightening process and the time it takes the ultrasonic pulses to traverse the length of the screw (propagation time) is measured. Before starting the tightening process, a dependency of the propagation time of the ultrasonic pulse on the predetermined tension of the screw is calculated from the material-specific characteristic values of the screw utilizing the measured propagation time through the load-free screw. Comparison of a change in propagation time dependent on a screw parameter with a calculated change in propagation time dependent on the predetermined tension of the screw permits drawing conclusions about the control of the screwing process. Thus, in particular, significant deviations indicate poor adherence to the specifications or thread damage, whereas minor deviations can be utilized to control the screwing process.
