  • Publication number: 20030108181
    Abstract: In a communications network, it is necessary for client software applications to monitor detail records constructed from messages transmitted in a signalling network (100) associated with the communications network. Prior techniques for delivery of the detail records to the client software applications included separate generation of the detail records for each client software application resulting in duplication of effort in the collection and dissemination of the detail records as well as the prolific number of detail record generation tasks required. The present invention overcomes these disadvantages by having a single generator (200, 410) of detail records per site in the signalling network (100), the delivery of the detail records to the client software applications (400, 402, 710, 712, 718) involving a point-to-multipoint communication.

  • Patent number: 5810562
    Abstract: A composite rotating swashplate for a helicopter rotor system which includes rotor blades with associated control rods. The control rods control the pitch of the rotor blades. The composite rotating swashplate according to the present invention includes an outer tubular ring with an inner tubular ring located within the outer ring. The outer ring is made from braids of tri-axial graphite fibers interwoven with unidirectional plies. The inner tubular ring is made from braided .+-.45 degree graphite fibers. A support ring is located within the outer ring and external to an inboard periphery of the inner tubular ring. A plurality of apertures are formed through the outer and inner rings. The apertures are adapted to receive the terminal ends of the control rods. Mounting bolts extend through at least one wall of the outer and inner rings and attach the terminal ends of the control rods to the swashplate.
