A system is provided, for use in "cross-eye" ECM systems, and in other application, by means of which two radio-frequency signals having a specific temporal relationship can be amplified in the same amplifier, and without significantly affecting their temporal relationship. One signal is stored in a first delay line and the second is stored in a second delay line of larger capacity. The first signal upon emerging from the first delay line is sent to the second delay line behind the second signal...

A method of reassembling an ordered sequence of Signalling Connection and Control Part (SCCP) message segments at the SCCP of a signalling node of a telecommunications network, where said message segments are received out of order at the signalling node. The method comprises the steps of receiving a first of the message segments at the SCCP and initiating a reassembly process for the sequence to which the received segment belongs. The received segment is stored in a memory as part of said initia...

A method of signalling in a telecommunications network comprises generating signalling messages at an Application Part or a User part of an originating signalling point, the messages having a maximum length of 272 octets. The generated signaling messages are transferred to a Message Transfer Part layer 3 (MTP3) of the originating signalling point, and on the basis of the destination signalling point of the received signalling message, it is determined whether or not the message is to be transmit...

A multiple access asynchronous network segment for providing network access to a plurality of end systems over a shared medium uplink to a satellite headend supported by a network controller, wherein the network controller allocates part of the uplink resource and the satellite headend allocates part of the uplink resource on a temporary basis in response to end systems making a new request for uplink resource. Also provided is a signalling system for use in a multiple access asynchronous networ...

A method of improving the signalling performance reliability of an interface between a signalling agent and a network element. In the case of a non-redundant signalling agent, a primary link is established between a first Layer 2 port of the signalling agent and a first Layer 2 port of the network element; and, a primary backup link is established between a second Layer 2 port of the signalling agent and a second Layer 2 port of the network element. During normal operation of the primary link, t...

A mailbox signalling apparatus (10) for use on both rural type (100) and residential type (200) mailboxes; wherein, the apparatus (10) includes a suspension unit (11) having a support arm (14) and at least one elongated slot (16); and, a signal unit (12) including a signal member (20) attached to the suspension unit (11) and provided with an attachment ring (25) that is dimensioned to be selectively received over the support arm (14) and within the slot (16).

A signalling device for use in fishing to indicate when a fish has taken the bait. The signalling device consisting of an indicator such as a light or an alarm connected through a switch means to power source such as a battery. A fishing line is operatively connected to the switch to activate the signal when the line is tugged on by a fish.

A circuit arrangement for telecommunication installations, in particular, telephone exchange installations is disclosed in which type information is sent ahead of each communication to be transmitted. In bidirectional communication transmission with different possible communication types, type information announcing the respective communication type is sent ahead. In the receiving equipment the beginning of the arrival of type information is recognized and immediately, that is, almost simultaneo...

A hand held holder includes a handle portion which joins two outwardly extending bifurcated legs which form an acute angle from said handle. Sharp-edged ridges on lateral teeth are provided on the inside surface of each of the legs and are arranged to extend at least partially across the width of the legs to provide a contact surface for a food item or object which is to be immersed. The outer ends of the legs terminate in a curved section or backwardly angled surface to guide the object into th...

This invention consists, in part, of a disposable diaper containing a pair of embedded electrodes terminated by a pair of conductive and adhesive tapes on the outer surface of the diaper. This invention additionally consists of a compact diaper wetness signalling device contained in a housing and comprised of a CMOS voltage comparator with a reference voltage set by a Zener diode and a resistor, a voltage divider, a beeper, and a battery. The device has a pair of conductive contacts fixed into r...
