Patent GB-2332590-A (GB)
Title: Signalling concentrator
Inventor: MEAKES GAVIN JOHN
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1997-12-16
Abstract: The present invention provides a telecommunications system, and method of operation of such a system, the telecommunication system being arranged to be connected to a telecommunications network and to route telecommunications signals between the telecommunications network and a subscriber terminal of the telecommunications system. The telecommunications system comprises an interface mechanism for passing signalling events over a communications link between modules of the telecommunications system separated by the communications link. In accordance with the present invention, the interface mechanism comprises a network-side object on the telecommunications network side of the communications link for receiving a first signalling event from a first module of the telecommunications system and for generating a first signalling message to represent the first signalling event, and a user-side object on the subscriber terminal side of the communications link for receiving a second signalling event from a second module of the telecommunications system separated from said first module via the communications link, and for generating a second signalling message to represent the second signalling event. Further, the network-side object is arranged to pass the first signalling message to the user-side object over the communications link for subsequent processing by modules on the subscriber terminal side of the communications link, and the user-side object is arranged to pass the second signalling message to the network-side object over the communications link for subsequent processing by modules on the telecommunications network side of the communications link. By this approach, a flexible interface mechanism is provided for handling signalling information that needs to be routed between modules of the telecommunications system.

Title: Adjustable sheet store with flexible base
Inventor: HUNT NIGEL HARVEY
IPC: G07D1/00
Filed: 1998-11-09
Abstract: A store for storing sheets on edge on a flexible tensioned support includes at least one movable divider 301 by which the store can be subdivided into sub-stores of adjustable size. The support comprises flexible tapes 351A, B secured to U-shaped components 315 widthwise of the store, and passing over a central tensioning bar (220). Lowering the bar reduces tension in the tapes, allowing the vertical and horizontal position of the dividers to be adjusted. Thus the width and depth of the sub-stores can be varied.

Patent GB-2354288-A (GB)
Title: Hydraulic damper.
Inventor: MULLER PATRICK
IPC: F16D25/08
Filed: 1999-09-15
Abstract: A hydraulic damper 10 comprises a cylinder 11 with bore 19. A piston 12 is slidably received in bore 19 and has sealing means 30 in contact with the bore, defining a first chamber 13 for connection to a hydraulic pressure source and a second chamber 14 for connection to a hydraulic consumer. Cylinder 11 has a sealing zone 20. In a first operative state of the damper, sealing means 30 is held in zone 20 by springs 32, 34, to prevent fluid flow between the first and second chambers. Piston 12 moves in response to increased hydraulic pressure in first chamber 13 such that eventually sealing means 30 moves out of sealing zone 20 to open grooves 22 to fluid flow. Fluid can then flow from chamber 13 to chamber 14 via slots 26 formed in piston part 24. Fluid flow from chamber 14 to chamber 13 can similarly occur if the pressure increases in chamber 14, fluid then flowing via grooves 21. The damper is particularly applicable to vehicle clutch systems.

Patent HU-T74648-A (HU)
Title: Heating system
Inventor: GATAORA SANTOKH SINGH
IPC: F24D11/00
Filed: 1995-12-15
Abstract: A water heating system for a number of apartments or offices (10 ) each having a water store (15) for receiving hot water from a common boiler (12). The system includes a temperature sensor (S2) for sensing the temperature of incoming water from the boiler, a valve (V1) between the temperature sensor (S2) and the water store (15). A further temperature sensor (S1) senses the temperature of water within the store (15) and an electronic controller (30) controls the flow of water via the valves (V1, V2) dependent on the temperature detected by both the first and second sensors to prevent water being received by the store when the temperature differential is too small. This avoids the risk of reduction of the water temperature within the store and meter (21) will not register utilisation under these circumstances as valve (V2) allows the return of the water other than via store (15).
