Comment by Secundis:

Torus - a 3-d mathematical representation of a ring or donut
Helio means Sun, Node being a reference to a communications node & inactive is rather self-explainitory
Dr. Who-meets-Douglas-Adams-like useage:

The Dr: "Our warning will never reach them because of the Inactive Helio-Torus Node."

Mickey: "Inactive Helly Terrapin Nose?"

The Dr: "No, a Helio-Torus Node. It is used to transmit messages via solar-radiated space donuts. But this one is quite defunct, dead, non-functional - in a word: Inactive."

Mickey: "Space donuts - can I get tea with that?"

The Dr: "What? And ruin the dark matter sprinkles? Are you mad?"
