Abstract: The invention concerns a cable brake (2) for a balancer. The balancer (1) in this case is used as lifting device to lower or to descend small and especially clumsy loads (20). The type of balancer used has the possibility to block the cable manually. The cable brake consists of a double spool (6) on which the cable (12) from the balancer on is wound on one side and on the other side the cable (17) for the object to be lowered. Both cables are fixed to the spool. The spool is connected through a freewheel (11) with the incoming shaft (9) of a accelerating wormgear. On the outgoing shaft (8) of the wormgear a friction brake is mounted with friction shoes (14) which are actuated by centrifugal force. The friction shoes are suitably prestressed with a compression spring (16) against the brake lining. The freewheel is installed in such a way that the brake will come into action when the cable is pulled into the balancer, while on descending the load the freewheel leaves the spool free. In some cases it is possible to install a permanent installation and instead of a balancer use a counterweigth in combination with the cable brake.

Abstract: A software facility for automatically identifying subnetworks in a network is described. The facility receives a plurality of addresses of hosts in the network, and accesses a binary tree. The nodes of the binary tree each represent a range of addresses within the network. A facility traverses the binary tree to identify candidate nodes where both child nodes have one or more descendent leaf nodes representing host addresses. The facility tests the address range represented by each candidate node visited in the traversal to determine whether the address range is a subnet address range for a subnet being used on the network. If testing indicates that a visited candidate node represents such an address range, the facility identifies the visited candidate node as a subnet node. The facility skips, in the traversal, any candidate notes that are descendents of an identified subnet node.

Abstract: A fuel system comprising a fuel injector (13) having a delivery chamber (18) for fuel, a valve needle (16) which is engageable with a seating to control fuel delivery through an outlet opening (20) and a control valve arrangement (28) for controlling communication between a source (10) of pressurised fuel and the delivery chamber (28). The fuel system further comprises means (34, 64) for applying a force to a surface of the valve needle (16) so as to urge the valve needle against the seating should the control valve arrangement (28) fail. The fuel system may be arranged such that, upon opening or closing movement of a control valve member (30) of the control valve arrangement (28), pressurised fuel is applied to a surface associated with the valve needle (16). This provides the advantage that opening or closing movement of the valve needle (16) is delayed, thereby enabling control and consistency of the injection of small amounts of fuel to be improved. <IMAGE>
