  • Publication number: 20180223661
    Abstract: A cutting bit assembly for a mining machine includes a holder having a first surface, a second surface, and a bore extending therebetween, and a bit having a first end and a second end. The bit further includes a tip, a shank, and a shoulder positioned between the tip and the shank. The shank is positioned in the bore of the holder and defines a shank axis. The shoulder engages the first surface of the holder. The shank includes a projection adjacent the second end. The cutting bit assembly also includes a retainer having a groove and a resilient member. The groove engages a portion of the projection. The resilient portion engages the second surface of the holder and biases the retainer along the shank axis and away from the holder.

  • Patent number: 10025331
    Abstract: A controller for a temperature management system for heating and/or cooling a room in accordance with a schedule of set point temperatures over a control period as a data processor arrangement (10). A signal indicative of the current temperature of the room is received at a temperature input (9) for receiving a signal indicative of the current temperature in the room and a control output (18) for supplying control signals to the system. The controller has at least one electronic memory for storing said schedule of set point temperatures, a relationship, based on known heating or cooling characteristics of the room, between the energy supplied to the system in a portion of the control period and the predicted temperature of the room during that portion and subsequent portions of the control period.

  • Patent number: 9992732
    Abstract: The invention relates to operating a Machine-Type Communication (MTC) device for communication with a cellular radio network. A transmission is made from the MTC device to the cellular radio network to register the MTC device with the cellular radio network. The transmission includes a message from the MTC device to the cellular radio network, identifying the MTC device as an MTC device to the cellular radio network. Also, the MTC device has an associated HPLMN. An instruction is received at the MTC device from the network not to make a transmission from the MTC device for accessing the network. The instruction specifies a criteria for the MTC device's HPLMN or preferred list of networks. The MTC Device compares the criteria with the HPLMN associated with the MTC device and avoids making a transmission to access the network for a period of time based on the result comparing step.

  • Publication number: 20180004927
    Abstract: A biometrically authorisable device may include a biometric sensor for obtaining biometric data from a user, a control system for controlling the device, wherein the control system is arranged to provide access to one or more protected functions of the device in response to identification of an authorised user via the biometric sensor, and a movement sensor. The device may be arranged to go into a dormant mode in response to certain movements of the device detected by the movement sensor. The certain movements may be types or combinations of movements associated with a potential theft or loss of the device. The control system may be arranged to require re-identification of the authorised user via the biometric sensor after the device has been put into the dormant mode and before subsequent use of the one or more protected functions of the device, thereby enhancing the security of the device.
