Abstract: A method for feeding a liquid mixture (11) to the beating cylinder
(12, 30) of a soft ice-cream production machine, is characterised
in that only a single measure of liquid mixture, withdrawn from a
feed vessel (10), is firstly subjected to rapid heating to a
temperature of around +85°C, then immediately afterwards to rapid
pre-cooling, and is finally fed to a beating chamber (20) of said
beating cylinder (12, 30) in which said mixture is beaten. This
ensures that the measure is free from bacterial load.

Abstract: Limiting the base stations (102-116) to which a wireless terminal
(e.g. 124) will attempt to establish communication may be done by a wireless
switching system (101) or another system having the capability of storing within
each individual wireless terminal a list of base stations (e.g. 112,113,102,103) that
can be utilized by that wireless terminal. When a wireless terminal first registers on
the wireless switching system (101), the wireless switching system would be
responsive to the identification code of the wireless terminal to transmit a list of base
stations that can be utilized by the wireless terminal to the wireless terminal. The
wireless terminal then stores that list for future use. In another embodiment, each
tenant would be assigned a group number. Each of the base stations would
periodically transmit the numbers of the groups that could access the base station. A
wireless terminal monitors these group numbers before attempting to register on a
base station.

Abstract: A fluid pressure-operated actuator comprises a cylinder body (12)
containing a piston (11) slidable therein, the piston defining respective
chambers (16, 17) at opposite sides thereof. A rod (13) projects from
one side of the piston and extends through an end wall (14) of the
cylinder and a plunger (20) is slidable on the rod and also extends
through the end wall. The arrangement is such that the application of
fluid pressure simultaneously to the chambers (16, 17) results in
movement of the piston lengthwise of the rod, the piston movement
including a first part during which the plunger applies force to the rod in
addition to that arising on the piston, and a second part during which the
force from the plunger is absent.

Abstract: A brake actuator (10) for use on passenger transit railway
vehicles. The actuator includes a housing containing a service
piston (14) and a parking brake piston (16). The service piston is connected
to an inner hollow stem (20) having a forward conical surface (40) disposed
to engage a conical surface (38) of a collet (36) provided on a threaded rod
located within the stem. The parking brake piston has a hollow
outer sleeve (21) surrounding the hollow stem, while a coil spring (28) is
located about the outer sleeve for applying a braking force when
fluid pressure is removed from a housing containing the parking
brake piston. The spring expands against a locking ring (34) located on
a forward sleeve (22) secured to an intermediate sleeve (42) that engages the
hollow stem. This causes forward movement of the outer sleeve and
forward movement of the conical portion of the hollow stem into
engagement with the conical portion of the conical surface of the
collet. This, in turn, moves the threaded rod (26) to engage brake
applying components of a transit vehicle.

Abstract: A stacked modular jack connector having low cross talk and low
combined stack height is disclosed. Low stack height is achieved by
disposing contact terminals for stacked pairs of receptacles in a single
coplanar array of interleaved terminals. The arrays are located between
the receptacles. One receptacle of each pair is laterally offset from the
other. For Ethernet applications, cross talk is minimized by arranging
first, second, third and sixth terminals of a ten terminal array into a
contact group of the first receptacle and fifth, eighth, ninth and tenth
terminals of the array into a contact group of the second receptacle.
Circuit board space requirements are minimized by arranging the
terminal tails of both groups of terminals in a single line.
