# Electronic switching system

In telecommunications, an electronic switching system (ESS) is a telephone switch that uses solid-state electronics, such as digital electronics and computerized common control, to interconnect telephone circuits for the purpose of establishing telephone calls.
The generations of telephone switches before the advent of electronic switching in the 1950s used purely electro-mechanical relay systems and analog voice paths. These early machines typically utilized the step-by-step technique. The first generation of electronic switching systems in the 1960s were not entirely digital in nature, but used reed relay-operated metallic paths or crossbar switches operated by stored program control (SPC) systems.
First announced in 1955, the first customer trial installation of an all-electronic central office commenced in Morris, Illinois in November 1960 by Bell Laboratories. The first large-scale electronic switching system was the Number One Electronic Switching System (1ESS) of the Bell System, cut over in Succasunna, New Jersey, in May 1965.
Just three years later, in September 1968, Britain's Post Office opened the world's first all-digital pulse-code modulation (PCM) exchange named Empress (three decades after British scientist Alec Reeves had invented the PCM encoding system without the digital components to take full advantage). Other nations vying to reach the forefront of technical innovation would adopt metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) and PCM technologies to make their own transitions from analog to digital telephony throughout the '70s. Later electronic switching systems implemented the digital representation of the electrical audio signals on subscriber loops by digitizing the analog signals and processing the resulting data for transmission between central offices. Time-division multiplexing (TDM) technology permitted the simultaneous transmission of multiple telephone calls on a single wire connection between central offices or other electronic switches, resulting in dramatic capacity improvements of the telephone network.
With the advances of digital electronics starting in the 1960s telephone switches employed semiconductor device components in increasing measure.
In the late 20th century most telephone exchanges without TDM processing were eliminated and the term electronic switching system became largely a historical distinction for the older SPC systems.

# Onésiphore Pecqueur

Onésiphore Pecqueur (1792–1852) was a French mechanical engineer who patented the modern-day differential gear, found on the axles that connect to the powertrain of all automobiles.

## Early life

He was born in the Pas-de-Calais.

## Career

He worked as a watchmaker. In 1823 he won the National Exhibition Gold Medal for inventing a watch that showed sidereal and mean time.
He invented the differential in 1827 (known in French as the différentiel mécanique). He invented it whilst at the Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers. It was derived from his work as a watchmaker, whereby cogs move at different rates. The differential allowed the adjustment of rotational ratios of two wheels turning on the same axle.

## Personal life

He died in Paris in 1852.
# Jenny Cockell

Jenny Cockell (born 10 July 1953 in Barnet, Hertfordshire) is an English podiatrist who in the mid-1990s came to fame for writing about her claims of reincarnation.

## Paranormal claims

In her book Yesterday's Children, Cockell discusses what she describes as past life memories of life as Mary Sutton in early-20th century Ireland. The book chronicles Cockell's research into Sutton's life and her subsequent reunion with Sutton's children, some of whom accepted Cockell as the reincarnation of their mother and all of whom accepted her memories as being those of their mother. Cockell describes how reporters from the BBC and The Society for Psychical Research interviewed witnesses who stated that she had spoken about her past lives in childhood and named Malahide as the location. She claims to have drawn a map of Malahide in childhood, in front of a witness. Cockell first started talking about her dreams and memories of "Mary" when she was 4 years old, and after corresponding with a local man whilst researching in 1989 she found the family surname was Sutton. In 1988 she underwent hypnosis after which she claimed to have recovered a few more memories.
In 2000, CBS aired Yesterday's Children, which was a made-for-TV movie adaptation of Cockell's book, with Jane Seymour in the title role. For the TV movie, however, Jenny Cockell was referred to as "Jenny Cole," and the story was somewhat rewritten with, amongst other changes, Jenny Cole being an American rather than a British citizen.
Cockell is also the author of Past Lives, Future Lives, in which she discussed her visions of what she believes could be her future lives obtained initially by precognition then added to by experimental "progression hypnosis" (future version of past life regression), among these a girl, Nadia in Nepal around 2050 who was glimpsed in Across Time And Death and described as "what I now believe to be my next life". Journeys Through Time is about a past life in Japan based on alleged childhood memories.

## Skeptical reception

Researcher Joe Nickell has written that Cockell's alleged past life memories and reincarnation claims break down under critical analysis, claiming that Cockell had a tendency to fantasize and that the evidence suggested her past life memories under hypnosis were not memories but the product of her imagination.
Chris French, a professor who studies the psychology of paranormal belief, thinks it might be confirmation bias of life after death and cryptomnesia of the bits of information she researched which contribute to her belief that she has been reincarnated.

# Alexandre de Vincent de Mazade

Alexandre de Vincent de Mazade (or Mazarade; 1735–1808) was a French soldier who was twice acting governor of the French colony of Saint-Domingue between 1787 and 1789.

## Early years

Alexandre de Vincent de Mazade was born in Saint-Péray, Ardèche, France, in 1735. His parent were Louis de Vincent de Mazade (died 1779) and Françoise Victoire de Geys de Montguillard. On 31 December 1779 he married Marie Thérèse Sophie Chappotin (born 1757) in Port-au-Prince, Saint-Domingue. His wife was a Creole, so he belonged to the class of proprietors of the colony. He owned shares in a sugar company in Terrier-Rouge and several coffee plantations in the Western Province.
Vincent de Mazade became a maréchal de camp. He was made a knight of the Order of Saint Louis. In the 1780s he was a brigadier in the king's armies, second-in-command in Port-au-Prince, commander of the western part of the island and commander of the French Leeward Islands (Îles Sous-le-Vent). He had a good military reputation.

## Governor of Saint-Domingue

Vincent succeeded César Henri, comte de La Luzerne in November 1787, as acting governor. He was Governor of Santo Domingo from November 1787 to July 1789. François Barbé-Marbois was the intendant, or head of civil administration, during this period. One of the problems Vincent and Marbois had to handle was the extreme cruelty that the planter Lejeune inflicted on his slaves, in violation of the laws of Saint-Domingue. A conviction could be viewed as an indictment of the institution of slavery, and would humiliate the planters in the eyes of their slaves. There would be a danger that the slaves would refuse to obey orders, and the whole system would break down. This was not an isolated incident. They ordered deportation of the planter Maguero for barbarities against his slaves, and wrote that there were other cases that were even more serious, but did not have the "clarity" afforded by the planter's confession.
Marie-Charles du Chilleau, the Marquis du Chilleau, was appointed Governor General in March 1788. He did not arrive in the colony until the end of the year, and remained only until the beginning of July 1789. Vincent was replaced by Antoine de Thomassin de Peynier in August 1789.

## Later activity

Vincent de Mazade was commander of the northern part of the colony in 1789. He tolerated the sedition of Jean-Jacques Bacon de la Chevalerie, but dissolved the insurrectionist Assembly of Saint-Marc, or Léopardins, in 1790.
Vincent de Mazade died in Saint-Thomas, Haute-Garonne in 1808.
