    摘要: In a communications network, a count is maintained of the number of calls made to a selected number. The number may be that of an answering center or of any other destination which has the capacity to handle a multiplicity of calls simultaneously. The count is automatically updated when calls are admitted to the number and when they are terminated. If a new call would take the number of calls in progress above a stored value for the maximum capacity of the number, then the call is rejected. In one implementation, resources are allocated dynamically on an Overload Control Server to a particular destination number only when congestion occurs. The stored value for the capacity may be amended automatically depending on the response of the network to admitted calls. The value for the capacity may initially be estimated as a function of the holding times for calls to the destination number.

    摘要: A telecommunications network includes a processor controlled switch and a network intelligence platform overload control function runs in the network intelligence layer. The overload control function measures the period of time taken to handle a call switching request and if the time taken exceeds a pre-determined quality of service threshold, it implements a call gapping function. The call gapping function modifies the gapping period such that requests to effect calls to particular destinations are spaced and any call arriving at a switching point prior to expiration of the gap period is automatically rejected by the local control processor. As the overload control function runs in a plurality of nodes, which may be file servers of the intelligence layer, the gapping period returned to the switch is dependent upon the perceived overload at the particular node. Traffic variations at the nodes may result in variations in the gapping period between nodes and therefore each node is arranged to communicate with other nodes to determine an average gapping period for the group of nodes and individual gapping periods in the nodes are relaxed towards the average value.

    摘要: Heat storage apparatus comprising at least one thermal store (300) comprising a chamber (301) having a gas inlet (306), a gas outlet (307), and a gas-permeable thermal storage media (303) disposed therebetween, the apparatus being configured such that, during operation, the flow path of a gas flowing through the chamber (301) from inlet (306) to outlet (307) for transfer of thermal energy to or from the storage media (303) can be selectively altered in response to the progress of the thermal transfer, thereby enabling the flow path to bypass inactive upstream or downstream regions of the storage media where thermal transfer is complete or minimal, so as to minimise the pressure drop across the storage media. A baffle system (305) in a main flow passageway (312) may be used to control the gas flow path.
