Abstract:
A breaking apparatus (1) with a housing (3), striker pin (4), moveable mass (2) and shock absorber. The striker pin (4) has a driven end and an impact end and a longitudinal axis extending between the two ends. The striker pin (4) is locatable in the housing (3) such that the impact end protrudes from the housing (3). The moveable mass (2) impacts on the driven end of the striker pin (4) and the shock-absorber is coupled to the striker pin (4) by a retainer (8) interposed between a first (7b) and second (7a) shock-absorbing assemblies located internally within the housing (3) along, or parallel to, the striker pin longitudinal axis. The first shock-absorbing assembly (7b) is positioned between the retainer (4) and movable mass (2) and is formed from a plurality of un-bonded layers including at least two elastic layers (12) interleaved by an inelastic layer (13).
Abstract:
A hammer assembly (1) for breaking, levering and raking material, the hammer assembly includes a hammer (1) and an articulated control linkage (3). The hammer includes: a movable mass capable movement along an impact axis (14), an elongated 5 tool (23) having a longitudinal axis substantially parallel or coaxial with the impact axis(4), a primary pivot (6) attachment point for attaching the hammer (1) to a distal end of an operating arm (2) attached to the carrier for pivotal movement of the hammer (1) about a primary axis (6) orthogonal to the impact axis (14). The control linkage (3) includes first (4) and second linkss (5) for effecting pivotal movement of the hammer (1) about the primary axis (6) in response to movement from a drive attached to the operating arm (2).
Abstract:
A breaking apparatus (1) including a movable mass (3) for impacting on a striker pin (4), a housing (2) and a striker pin (4) configured to partially protrude through the housing (2), the apparatus (1) characterised in that the striker pin (4) is configured to be beatable in a plurality of retaining locations relative to the housing (2).
Abstract:
A call processing system is disclosed wherein plural platforms are populated with plural voice boards different resources thereon. Whenever a functional component on a server is requested to start operating for carrying out a particular function as requested by a call, polling software on said server runs to poll from the platforms the availability information of the corresponding resource required for said function requested by the call.

Abstract:
An impact hammer (1) for breaking, levering and raking material, the hammer (1) including: a movable mass capable movement along an impact axis (14), an elongated tool (23) having a longitudinal axis substantially parallel or coaxial with the impact axis (14), a primary pivot (6) attachment point for attaching the hammer (1) to a distal end of an operating arm (2) attached to the carrier for pivotal movement of the hammer (1) about a primary axis (6) orthogonal to the impact axis (14); an articulated control linkage (3) including first (4) and second links (5) for effecting pivotal movement of the hammer (1) about the primary axis (6) in response to movement from a drive attached to the operating arm (2), the first link (4) being pivotally attachable: to the hammer (1) at a first end to form a secondary pivot axis (8) parallel to said primary axis (6), at a second end to the drive forming a tertiary pivot point axis (12) and to the second link (5), the second link (5) being pivotally attachable at a first end to the operating arm (2) forming a quaternary pivot axis (13) parallel to the secondary (8) and tertiary axes (12), at a second end to the second end of the first link (4) and at a second end to the drive, characterised in that the primary (6), tertiary (12) and quaternary (13) pivot axes are all located on an opposing side of the impact axis (14) to the secondary pivot axis (8), wherein the primary pivot axis (6) is located laterally to the impact axis (14) between the opposed distal ends of the tool (23).
Abstract:
A fault tolerance call processing system is disclosed. The fault tolerance at the server level is achieved by shadowing between primary functional components and standby functional components running on a plurality of processors accommodated on several CT servers. The fault tolerance at resource level is achieved by allowing reallocation of resources from any circuit boards and platforms to process a call.
Abstract:
A ready-to-bake, shelf-stable cake dough consisting essentially of flour, fat, sugar, eggs and water and usual dough additives and comprising a leavening system, the dough having a water activity of below 0.85 and being packed in an essentially gas-impermeable pouch in an atmosphere of an inert gas containing less than 4%, preferably less than 2% residual oxygen. A process for the manufacture of such a dough is also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a drop hammer assembly including a drop hammer configured with at least two end conditions, characterized in that the position of the end conditions can be reversed when required. Also claimed is a method of reversing the drop hammer with respect to the drop hammer housing.
