摘要:
In a cylinder compression test apparatus for a spark ignition engine, imped means for generating an electrical pulse representing the fire period for a selected cylinder. The mechanism is useful during engine compression test for correlating each measured waveform with the cylinder that produced that particular waveform.

A system and method for synchronizing clocks related to telecommunications throughout s point-to-multipoint optical network utilizes downstream data timed using a high frequency transmission clock to distribute timing information of a central telecom-based clock to remote terminals. In an exemplary embodiment, the point-to-multipoint optical network system is an Ethernet-based passive optical network (PON) system that operates in accordance with a Gigabit Ethernet standard. The timing information of the central telecom-based clock is extracted from the downstream data at each remote terminal by recovering the high frequency transmission clock and then, deriving a reference clock, which is synchronized with the central telecom-based clock, from the recovered transmission clock. The reference clock is then used to generate one or more telecom-related clocks that are needed by the remote terminal. The system and method allows telecom-related clocks throughout the system to be synchronized in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

An emergency message handling system may manage emergency SMS text messages sent by wireless mobile communication devices, such as to 911. Each message may be sent to an emergency call service having a TTY messaging system. The emergency message handling system may include an SMS network interface, a computer processing system, and a TTY network interface. The SMS network interface may be configured to receive the emergency SMS text messages. The computer processing system may include an SMS-To-TTY message converter configured to convert each of the emergency SMS text messages into TTY format. The TTY network interface may be configured to deliver each of the converted emergency SMS text messages in TTY format to the TTY messaging system of the emergency call service to which the emergency SMS text message was sent. Emergency TTY messages from the emergency call service to the wireless mobile communication device may similarly be delivered to the TTY network interface, converted by a TTY-To-SMS message converter in the computer processing system into SMS format, and sent by the SMS network interface to the wireless mobile communication device.
