Abstract: Systems, processes and devices process telemetry, tracking and control (TT&C) data received from a satellite. A data acquisition system receives data packets comprising the TT&C data received from the satellite from one or more cortexes. A data extractor node (DEN) directs the decommutation of the received TT&C data in real time as the TT&C data is received. The decommutated TT&C data from the data acquisition system is stored in a database for subsequent processing. The data extractor node obtains requested TT&C data from the database and processes the obtained portion of the decommutated TT&C data in real time.

Abstract: A vehicle seat belt buckle has a flat tongue part with latching edges, and a socket part with spaced parallel plates defining a socket within which the tongue can be received. A latch member slides at right angles to the plane of the tongue to engage the latch formations to retain the tongue within the socket, the movement being imparted by latch member portions received in grooves of a push botton slidably guided for manual movement in the direction of insertion of the tongue. A spring urged detent retains the push button and thus the latch member in the release positions and is itself released by a portion of an ejector device when this is moved inwardly in the socket on insertion of the tongue. In a modification a spring biassed ejector prevents return of the latch member to its latching position after release of the tongue.

Abstract: Means are disclosed for adjusting the effective position from which the shoulder or diagonal belt of a vehicle seat belt system downwardly extends. A strap is secured to extend around the seat back portion in an upright direction and slidably carries a connector to which the belt can be connected. Alternatively the upper part of the seat back portion is clamped between limbs of a U-shaped member, the front limb mounting a connector for the belt, preferably a position which can be selectively adjusted. A third embodiment comprises a strap arranged to extend upright adjacent the seat as on a door pillar, a connector for the belt being slidable along the strap. Where the system includes a running loop for guiding the belt from a retractor, one end of the strap with the connection can be connected to a second loop secured to the running loop or both loops can be mounted for swivelling independently.
