Abstract: A private branch exchange (PBX) telecommunications facility for small business or domestic applications where only a limited number of exchange lines (say one or two) are required to be connected to a greater but still limited number of extensions (say five to eight) is constructed around a solid state crosspoint switch (1) to which the exchange and extension lines are connected and has a user programmable microprocessor (2) controlling the switch operation to provide multiple user facilities in addition to providing access between the exchange lines and the extensions, such facilities including call diversion, call transfer, alarm calls, delayed automatic redialling, abbreviated dialling, call holding, call waiting alerts and call intrude. The PBX includes DTMF receivers (7) and a DTMF generator (8) and tone generators (7) whereby both loop disconnect telephones and DTMF telephones, with and without recall, can be utilized at the extension sites. A speech synthesizer (6) is provided for user interaction and the microprocessor (2) has ports for data logging peripherals (17), alarms such as smoke or fire detectors (18), and door controls (19). Intercom circuits (9) are coupled to the switch matrix (1) to enable any extension telephone to be utilized as a baby alarm for example.

Abstract: An integrated circuit design and method for its fabrication are disclosed. A bilevel-dielectric (e.g., 33, 35) is formed to cover the active regions of a transistor and raised topographic features such as a gate runner (e.g., 31). The upper level (e.g., 35) of the dielectric is planarized to provide for easier subsequent multilevel-conductor processing. Windows (e.g., 43, 41) are opened in the bilayer dielectric by etching through the upper level (e.g., 35) of the dielectric, stopping on the lower level (e.g., 33) of the dielectric. Then the etch procedure is continued to etch through the lower level (e.g., 33) of the dielectric.

Abstract: An elevator door system utilizes a cam (124) to unlatch hoistway doors. The cam is required by code to have a greater swing motion than is required to unlock the hoistway doors. A mechanism (138) follows the motion of the cam and locks the car doors when the cam is beyond the swing motion required to actuate a hoistway door lock. If the cam is in contact with a hoistway door lock it is kept within its normal swing motion. If the cam is not in contact with a hoistway door lock, the car must not be in a safe exiting zone and the cam (124) may move beyond its normal motion, the mechanism (138) (roller 150, shaft 144 and locking tab 146) follows the cam and the car door is locked.

Abstract: Method for operating a "compound" refrigerating plant which alternately runs through cooling and defrosting phases, comprising a refrigerant circuit (cycle), a compressor, a condenser, a throttling (expansion) valve and an evaporator via which the cooling of the cooling agent (nonfreezing solution, secondary fluid) circulating in a cooling agent circuit is performed. After the cooling agent is cooled it is fed to one or more air (unit) (coolers) (air cooling batteries) arranged in parallel and subsequently fed again to the evaporator by means of a pump. At least a portion of the cooling agent is heated during the cooling phase in indirect heat exchange or, by means of a further cooling agent circuit arranged between the refrigerant and cooling agent circuits, by the refrigerant, which is superheated during the cooling phase in the compressor. After termination of the cooling phase, the cooling agent heated in this way circulates for the purpose of defrosting the air coolers in the cooling agent circuit.

Abstract: A memory matrix-which comprises memory cells arranged in matrix, each made up of a ferroelectric capacitor and an address selection MOSFET-is divided for each word line into a plurality of memory blocks. Each of the memory blocks is provided with a mode storage circuit that stores a DRAM mode (volatile mode) or NV mode (non-volatile mode) in one-to-one correspondence for each memory block, and with a refresh operation count circuit that counts for each memory block the number of times the refresh operations is performed consecutively. During an n-th refresh operation (where n is a predetermined number of times), a memory access is made to temporarily change the plate voltage of the ferroelectric capacitor from one voltage to another and at the same time the mode storage circuit is changed from the DRAM mode to the NV mode. When a read or write operation to and from a memory cell in the memory block is performed, the mode storage circuit is changed from the NV mode to the DRAM mode. The refresh operation is omitted for the memory block that was set to the NV mode according to the stored information in the mode storage circuit.
