Abstract: A mechanical latching unit for a main drive unit includes a rolling mechanical switch within a housing, with a main roller, a counter roller, a carriage and a carriage trip/locking lever, with a first joint created between the main roller and the first end of the carriage, where by the load of the traction link of the main drive unit carried out to the main roller distributes a primary force component carried out to the counter roller and a secondary force component carried out in a direction to a second end of the carriage, where by the mechanical latching unit includes a force reduction mechanism having at least two force reduction stages, a carrier reset spring fastened to the housing which resets the carriage back to a neutral respectively blocking position, and a lever reset spring which resets the carriage trip/locking lever back to a neutral respectively blocking position.

Abstract: A server-implemented mechanism for coordinating communication between various teams in a manner that assists in the generation of corrective software that resolves a software performance deviation. In a broader context, the server coordinates inter-team communication for any other purposes. The server identifies a course of steps that when successfully completed advances the purpose (e.g., development of corrective software). For each of the steps in the course of steps, the server identifies a corresponding team of one or more people responsible for proper implementation of the step. For any given step in the course of steps, the server provides a user interface that at least a representative of the responsible team may access to complete the step. The server also facilitates notification between different teams when the workflow transfers from one team to another. The mechanism also tracks progress and schedules associated with the communications.

Abstract: The power or frequency characteristics of a layered frequency selective surface assembly (1) having a dielectric substrate layer (2) and, superimposed therewith at a spacing (X) therefrom, at least one layer (3) of electrically conductive elements (4) disposed in an array, is modulated by moving at least one layer (2, 3) relative to the or each other layer (2, 3). The layers (2, 3) maybe substantially planar or substantially non-planar and may be disposed substantially parallel to one another. Relative movement between the layers (2, 3) may retain the substantially parallel orientation or may not retain the substantially parallel orientation. The relative movement may have the effect of changing the spacing between the layers (2, 3) for example to tilt, skew or rotate one layer relative to the or each other layer.
