  • Publication number: 20150211624
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a gear-driven bearing unit comprising a housing (110), a drive gear (120) and a rolling element bearing, the rolling element bearing comprising: an outer member (130) provided with teeth (135) for meshing with teeth of the drive gear, an inner member (141, 142) and at least one row of rolling elements (151, 152) disposed between the inner and outer members. At one axial side of the unit, the housing is connected to the inner member and encloses the outer member. At the opposite axial side, there is a first radial gap between a radially inner surface of the outer member and a radially outer surface of the inner member. Further, a second radial gap exists between a radially outer surface of the outer member and a radially inner surface of the housing.

  • Patent number: 6353595
    Abstract: A method and a configuration for the network-wide analysis of connections in telecommunications networks. Here, a connection line from a point A to a point B of the network via at least one node of the network is provided. An interrogation instruction is transferred from an interrogation point of the network to the at least one node. In response to the interrogation instruction from the interrogation point of the network, connection data relating to the at least one node of the network are then transferred from the at least one node of the network to a receiver point of the network.

  • Patent number: 5579385
    Abstract: In the telecommunication network, telecommunication connections are directed from telecommunication terminal equipment on the transmission side (A) via an origin node (ON), via transit nodes (TN1, . . . TN7) to telecommunication terminal equipment on the reception side (B). An origin node number, the A call number, the destination node identity number and also the B call number are inserted into signalling information of the connection to be set up. In the nodes involved in the setup of the connection it is checked whether the A call number is to be modified. In some cases, the A call number may be supplemented and in other cases it may be supplemented and abbreviated.

  • Patent number: 5539742
    Abstract: Telecommunication connections in a telecommunication network are directed from a telecommunication instrument (A) on the transmission side via an original node (ON) and transit nodes (TN1, . . . , TN7) to a telecommunication instrument (B) on the reception side. A number denoting the original node (ON), the A call number, the identity number of the target node and the B call number are inserted in signaling information for the telecommunication connection to be made. A test is performed in the nodes concerned in the connection on whether the A call number should be supplemented by the identity number of the node concerned. Such an addition to the A call number is done only in the original node. Thus the A call number can be simply assessed in the telecommunication instrument (B) on the reception side.

  • Patent number: 5537392
    Abstract: In a meshed network, telecommunication calls from a transmitting-end telecommunication terminal (A) are routed via an originating node (ON), via transit nodes (TN1, . . . , TN7) and a destination node (DN) to a receiving-end telecommunication terminal (B). To prevent network loops, the node which is immediately next on the route is determined in transit nodes on the basis of the originating node number and on the basis of the destination node identification number. The node numbers of all the nodes passed through can be inserted into the signaling information assigned to the telecommunication call, the following node on the route also being determined on the basis of the node numbers.

  • Patent number: 4079206
    Abstract: A switching arrangement for a telephone system, wherein a subscriber circuit is connected over crosspoints of corresponding switching matrix stages to a junctor circuit feeding said subscriber circuit and receiving the signals thereof, wherein a common link-selecting and marking unit controls the switching of transmission paths as required by a common central control unit, and wherein a subscriber and junctor busy/free marking store marks an available junctor circuit.
