Patent EP-1407460-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BOBERT PETER
IPC: H01T4/12
Filed: 2002-07-15
Abstract: The invention is directed to a surge arrestor having a middle electrode and at least one outer electrode, in which an electrically conductive spring clip is secured to the middle electrode and exerts a spring power on the outer electrode; in which an electrical component part that is non-conductive at the trigger voltage of the surge arrestor and generates heat given a flow of current is arranged between the spring clip and the outer electrode; in which the spring clip lies against an electrically conductive contact element that is secured to a spacer element using a fusible mass and that is spaced from the outer electrode; and in which, when the fusible mass melts, the contact element is pressed against the outer electrode by the spring clip. The trigger mechanism has the advantage that it reacts very quickly and thereby reduces the formation of sparks and the fire hazard as well.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un support magnétique d'échantillons conçu pour supporter des récipients pour liquides, qui est déplacé le long d'une surface au moyen d'un système transporteur magnétique situé au-dessous de la surface. Ledit système transporteur magnétique comprend une pluralité de logements magnétiques entraînés par une courroie, ledit logement magnétique comprenant un aimant contenu de manière coulissante dans une cavité supérieure fermée. Des forces magnétiques émanant dudit aimant dépassent les forces résisitives frictionnelles entre le support d'échantillons et la surface fonctionnelle et déplacent lesdits supports d'échantillons le long des voies d'entrée et de sortie définies dans la surface fonctionnelle. Des mouvements brusques desdits supports d'échantillons sont éliminés par un glissement lent dudit aimant de logement vers ledit support d'échantillon, par fixation du support d'échantillons, et par traction dudit support le long de la surface fonctionnelle, lorsque lesdits logements sont déplacés à une vitesse constante par la courroie.

Abstract: An ice maker is capable of efficiently making and
removing ice cubes. The ice maker includes first and
second pulleys (10a, 10b) which are installed to be spaced
apart from each other. A drive unit (20) rotates the
first and second pulleys (10a, 10b). An ice making
conveyor (30) is wrapped around the first and second
pulleys (10a, 10b), and has a plurality of ice making
parts (31a) which are concavely formed to contain water
therein. An ice storage tray (70) is provided under the
ice making conveyor (30) to store ice cubes dropping from
the ice making parts (31a). An ice level sensing unit
(50) functions to sense a level of the ice cubes stored in
the ice storage tray (70), thus shutting off electricity.
When the level of the ice cubes stored in the ice storage
tray (70) exceeds a predetermined level, an operation of
the ice maker is stopped, thus preventing an excessive
number of ice cubes from being stored in the ice storage
tray (70).

Abstract: A satellite communications system provides a communications service to a
mobile terminal (2) on which different communications applications (4a to 4d) may
be run. Calls are set up between any of the applications (4a to 4d) via a satellite
(12) to a network management centre (18) which provides different service
adaptors (20a to 20d) which adapt the calls to different types of service provided
over terrestrial networks (22), such as telephony, facsimile, internet or ATM
services. The bandwidth allocated to each call over the satellite link may be varied
during the call according to demand either from the relevant application (4) or from
the network management centre (18). Multiple calls may be connected
concurrently to or from different applications running on the mobile terminal. A
maximum bandwidth is allocated to each call. Efficient use is thereby made of the
limited bandwidth available over the satellite (12), according to the instantaneous
bandwidth requirements of different applications (4). For real-time calls requiring
multiple slots per frame in a TDMA channel, the slots are mutually spaced apart to
reduce delay.

Filed: 2003-11-21
Abstract: A technique for efficiently transferring files in a peer-to-peer network promotes
substantially real-time file sharing over the network. Nodes of the network may serve as
both clients and servers, such that the file transfer burden in the network is equitably
distributed across the nodes of the network, generally ensuring that the file dissemination
process is executed as quickly as possible. In an embodiment, each node that has or
receives a file advertises possession of the file so that other nodes may obtain the file
therefrom. In an embodiment, a node may simultaneously receive a file via download
from a particular node and serve that same file via upload to another node. Within this
embodiment, a generation identifier is preferably associated with each copy of the file to
prevent two nodes, each having only part of a file, from attempting to retrieve the
remainder of the file from each other.
