20080240400 | TELEPHONE CALL PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A method and apparatus for processing telephone calls in a packet-based telephony service is disclosed. A store of telephone party identifiers is maintained for multi-service users having access to the packet-based telephony service and an alternate telephony service. Incoming signaling information for telephone calls in the packet-based telephony service is monitored and outgoing signaling information may be altered with reference to the store. An alteration may involve replacing telephony party identification data associated with one telephony service for telephony party identification data associated with another telephony service. The invention allows a multi-service user to be consistently identified by other telephony users by a single telephony party identifier instead of one telephony party identifier for each service they subscribe to. Further, a multi-service user can be identified at the call destination by a single telephony party identifier, irrespective of which telephony service is used to make the call. | 10-02-2008 |
20100142694 | TELEPHONE CALL PROCESSING - Embodiments of the present invention, include provision of enhanced telephony services for telephone calls received at local telephone exchange switches which do not themselves support identification of enhanced telephony service users and the associated triggering to initiate the provision of enhanced telephony services. Using a supported number portability mechanism, local telephone exchange switches allow provision of enhanced telephony services. | 06-10-2010 |
20100157987 | TELEPHONE SWITCHING SYSTEMS - The invention relates to the generation of configuration data for use in the migration of telephone switching systems. Configuration data for use in the migration of subscribers from a first telephone switching system over to a second telephone switching system in a telecommunications network is generated by monitoring signaling information on telephone channels associated with subscribers for telephone calls conducted via the first telephone switching system. The monitored signaling information is then analyzed in relation to call data produced by the first telephone switching system for the calls to identify relationships between the monitored signaling information and call data for calls conducted by subscribers. Configuration data based on the identified relationships is then stored and used to configure the second telephone switching system with mappings between the associated telephone channels and the telephone dialing numbers for subscribers. | 06-24-2010 |
20100177882 | TELEPHONE CALL PROCESSING - Disclosed embodiments allow telephony services of different types to be provided by a telephone company at a service platform for telephone calls received at a local telephone exchange belonging to the telephone company, but which does not itself support services those different types of services. Additional embodiments allow for disabling a subscriber-configurability feature for a service of a first service type on the local exchange so as to prevent or inhibit a subscriber from configuring a setting which may interfere with services provided on the service platform. | 07-15-2010 |

20090159383 | BRAKE ACTUATOR - A piston-type air brake actuator includes a cylinder having an internal sliding surface of substantially uniform cross-section, a piston dimensioned to have a substantially air tight, axially slidable fit within the cylinder, and a pushrod rigidly secured to the piston for engagement with a pivoting operating shaft of a disc brake. The piston is provided with a compliant peripheral seal to permit articulation of the piston as the pushrod engages the operating shaft during pivoting motion of the operating shaft. | 06-25-2009 |
20120325595 | FORCE TRANSMISSION DEVICE - A force transmission device for a disc brake operable to move a friction element of the brake into engagement with a rotary brake disc along a first axis in response to a loading from an actuating member, the device comprising: a guide member having a generally cylindrical guide form; a piston comprising a complementary generally cylindrical outer sliding surface slideable within the guide member, wherein; an anti-rotation formation is provided between the guide member and the piston, the formation comprising a recess extending generally parallel to the first axis and a complementary projection. | 12-27-2012 |
20120325596 | BRAKE - A brake having an adjustable tappet for applying a brake force to a brake pad, a tappet having a rotating part in threaded engagement with a non-rotating part, the rotating part including a tappet gear, an adjuster mechanism for selectable rotating the tappet gear, the adjuster mechanism having a clutch with a driving clutch plate in frictional engagement with a driven clutch plate, the driven clutch plate having external teeth in direct meshing engagement with the tappet gear. | 12-27-2012 |
20130240305 | DISC BRAKE CALIPER - The present invention provides a disc brake caliper. The disc brake caliper has a housing and a piston for moving a friction element into contact with a rotor. A yoke is provided for at least partially guiding the piston, and the yoke is positioned within the housing and moveable relative to the housing. A guide member along which the yoke is slideable is provided, and the guide member is a component separate to the yoke and the housing, and is mounted to the housing. | 09-19-2013 |
