  • Patent number: 8333439
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cleat assembly for a compactor wheel. The cleat assembly includes an adaptor for fastening to the compactor wheel. A cleat defines a recess in which the adaptor is receivable. A spring plate fastener has a strip of spring plate material, with opposed feet and at least one apex interposed between the feet. The adaptor and the cleat are shaped so that the spring can be received through both the cleat and the adaptor such the spring fastener is held in compression between the cleat and the adaptor, with the feet bearing against the cleat and the, or each, apex bearing against the adaptor to fasten the cleat to the adaptor. The cleat defines a pair of opposed apertures and the adaptor defines a guide formation, the apertures and the guide formation being configured to permit the spring plate to be inserted into engagement with the cleat and the adaptor from one of the apertures.

  • Patent number: 5907602
    Abstract: A method of, and a system for, detecting possible fraudulent use of a telecommunications network. Call event records, both call initiation and call completion records, are examined. A call record has a number of key fields, e.g. called number, calling number, calling card number, and for each field in turn the key is used to access a database containing an associated set of profiles. Each profile contains an algorithm defining a measurement process to be performed on the call data, e.g. determine the call duration. The respective process results are added to a respective set of stores associated with each profile, and an alarm response is generated when a threshold of a store is reached. An additional process for e.g. a call duration of e.g. called number card calling number key fields, convert the process results to penalty points which are added to a penalty points store associated with the calling card number key of the call event record under examination.
