Abstract: Combustion detection for an internal combustion engine exhaust burner (10) for pre-heating a catalytic converter, the burner (10) having spark developing means (28) with spaced electrodes for burner ignition, compares the voltage drop across the spaced electrodes to a predetermined voltage level and combustion is assumed to be present if the voltage drop does not exceed the predetermined voltage level for a predetermined number of ignition events. Combustion is assumed not to be present if the voltage drop exceeds the predetermined voltage level for a predetermined number of ignition events.

Abstract: A lever device allows to control the two movements that gas adjusting taps applied to hobs or cookers are required to make, and namely the axial lowering shifting of the control rod, needed to unlock the tap and to open the safety valve if it is the case, as well as the rotation movement to adjust the gas flow. This is achieved by taking the tap control away from the burners, so as to make the operating of the taps easier and safer, by means of a lever provided with a slot through which the control rod passes, with a transverse seat for the lowering and two planes parallel to the engagement axis for the rotation. Said slot is included between an outer operating end and an inner one suitable to react against the lower horizontal surface, along which it slides, of a protecting plane of the lever itself.

Abstract: A security node disposed in the telecommunications network connecting calling and called parties transforms information (which can be voice, data, facsimile, video and other types of calls or messages) encrypted in a first format to (a) encrypted information in a different format or to (b) non-encrypted information, and vice-versa. The node is accessible from any location connected to the network. By routing calls or messages originated by the calling party and destined for the called party via the security node, and providing appropriate control signals to the node, the information may be encrypted only over a portion of the transmission path between the parties, and clear over the remainder of the transmission path. Alternatively, the information may be encrypted in different portions of the path using different encryption algorithms. This arrangement enables the parties to obtain relatively secure communications even if only one party has a security device at the originating or terminating end, or if the parties have security devices using different handshaking protocols and encryption algorithms.

Abstract: When an IGBT element (9) is turned off and an IGBT element (19) is turned on, capacitors (1, 2) are charged by a current successively passing through the capacitor (1), a resistive element (4), a diode (5), the capacitor (2) and an intermediate wire (32) from a high-potential dc bus (30). At the same time, a capacitor (11) is discharged by a current successively passing through a diode (17), a resistive element (16) and the capacitor (11) from a low-potential dc bus (31) to flow to the intermediate wire (32). When the IGBT element (9) is turned on and the IGBT element (19) is turned off, on the other hand, the capacitors (11, 12) are charged and the capacitor (1) is discharged. The above is so repeated as to maintain source voltages of driving circuits (8, 18) at values exceeding constant levels. Thus, a power circuit for a driving circuit is formed by a simple circuit element.

Abstract: A method for automatically updating a central LNP database shared among a plurality of central office switches is instigated when a message from a provisioning system to add a directory number is received by a central office switch. In response to the message, a first central office switch accesses the central LNP database by sending a query message which contains the directory number to be added and routing data specific to the central office switch. Responsive to the query message, the LNP database searches for the directory number received from the first central office switch. If the directory number is found, the database queries a second central office switch to determine if the directory number is in use. If the number is in use, the central LNP database returns a failure message to the first central office switch. If the directory number is not found in the central LNP database or if the directory number is not being used by the second central office switch, the directory number and routing data received from the first central office switch and a transaction entry are added to a table corresponding to the first central office switch in the database.
