Appl. No.:

10/134810

Kenneth James Aubuchon - Lenexa KS, US
Robert Alan Ewy - Lecompton KS, US
Kevin Michael Fallis - Overland Park KS, US

Assignee:

Sprint Communications Company L.P. - Overland Park KS

International Classification:

H04L 12/28
H04L 12/56
H04J 1/16
H04L 1/00

US Classification:

3703951, 370229, 370235, 3702361, 3702362

Abstract:

A method, system and article for optimizing the processing of switch transactions and updating multiple switches of a communications network based on a single transaction is provided. When a switch is backlogged with transactions beyond a threshold quantity, those transactions heading to the backlogged switch are grouped together, placed in a file and sent to the switch as a single transaction. Some of the batched individual transactions may be dependent upon other switches as well. The present invention accommodates for multiple dependencies and responds with a success notification only when all portions of the original transaction are complete. In another aspect of the invention, where multiple switches require updating, such updating can be accomplished with only a single transaction. Switch identification information is included with the transaction permitting multiple switches to be updated from the single transaction.

Assignee:

King Radio Corporation - Olathe KS

International Classification:

H01H 3514
H01H 6702

US Classification:

200 6153

Abstract:

A switch structure detects acceleration in a preselected direction such as, for example, along the pitch axis of an aircraft. The switch has a spring supported mass urged toward a stable centered position within the switch housing. Acceleration displaces the mass such that it trips a spring wire switch mechanism for controlling such avionic devices as the autopilot system of the aircraft. A pair of solenoid coils are wound around the spring mass system on opposite sides of the centered position of the mass. The switch may be preflight tested by successively energizing the solenoid coils to attract the mass toward the centers of the solenoid fields, thereby artifically displacing the mass against the spring wire switches.

Appl. No.:

7/104683

Inventors:

Robert J. Ewy - Olathe KS
Gary L. Burrell - Olathe KS

Assignee:

Allied-Signal Inc. - Morris Township, Morris County NJ

International Classification:

B64C 1334

US Classification:

244 75R

Abstract:

A dual channel actuator for regulating control surfaces of an aircraft such as a helicopter. Primary and secondary channels are coupled by a differential gear. An internal stop in the differential gear limits the short term range of travel or authority of the primary channel. The secondary channel allows extended long term authority by recentering the reference point about which the rotational range of the primary channel is determined. A servo motor and primary input gear of the differential gear comprise the primary channel. A second servo motor and secondary input gear comprise the secondary channel. The reference point comprises a stop pin coupled with said differential gear.
