Abstract: Method and system for transmitting messages to subscribers of a telephone network during the set-up stage of incoming calls prior to the off-hook from a local exchange to at least one telephone terminal through an access system. The access system simulates, on one hand, the operation of a telephone terminal towards the local switching exchange such that it receives, from the local switching exchange and by means of an access node located in the access system, a first message preferably modulated and demodulates and stores it for subsequent replication; and, on the other hand, simulates the operation of a local switching exchange towards the telephone terminal such that it generates and transmits to the telephone terminal and by means of a network termination located in the access system, a second message preferably modulated which is a replication of the first message.

Abstract: A battery of reservoirs for storing fuel, gas, contaminants and/or fluids, including external means for structurally protecting the tanks and providing stability to protect the surrounding environment from fluid leaks. The external means comprise a plurality of two-tiered containers, each sealed off below and all around its sides by a wall the inner surface of which is covered by a membrane of a impermeable and chemically resistent material. A concrete lid seals each tank and has at least one orifice communicating with the load inlet of the corresponding tank. The walls of the container have at least one orifice through which a respective pipe passes for dispensing fuel and means for coupling slings for hoisting and lowering the container. Such coupling means are later used for attaching deadweights after installation.
