Abstract: A call selecting apparatus which comprises a signal receiver section for receiving dial signals in the form of dial pulse or DTMF; a main body processor for effecting call connection processing based on the transmitted digit codes which were received; and a received digit codes accumulating section for accumulating the digit codes received based on the dial signals received by the signal receiver section and which is provided as a peripheral device of the main body processor. The apparatus includes a digits number decision/call determination section for executing the decision how many digits codes should be accumulated in the received digit codes accumulating section as an accomplished destination telephone number, as well asdetermining whether the received digit codes correspond to the destination telephone number of a specific call or not. The digits number decision/call determination section is arranged as a peripheral device of the main body processor. The main body processor is arranged so that the result of the received digit codes and that of the determination are collectively inputted thereto. Particularly, the main body processor effects preferentially the connection processing as the digit codes received in the case where the digit codes received correspond to the destination in case of originating call congestion. The result is connection processing can positively be carried out in even an originating call congestion case.

Abstract: A wall plate for snap-fit engagement with an identical wall plate on one or both sides to provide an assembly of side-by-side plates for use with a ganged installation of electrical wiring devices.  The plate is rectangular with a rearwardly extending flange, including a pair of side  walls  having  inner  and  outer  surfaces,  extending  about  its periphery.  A U-shaped tab, having a medial portion including a linear-edged shoulder parallel to and spaced from the adjacent side wall, extends  outwardly  from  the  outer  surface  of  each  side  wall.   A rectangular opening in each side wall is positioned laterally opposite the tab on the other side wall.  As two plates positioned with the rear edges or surfaces of their flanges in a common plane are moved linearly toward engagement of the outer surfaces of opposing side walls, the tab extending from each opposing side wall is received in the opening in the other side wall.  An angled surface terminating at the shoulder of each tab contacts one edge of the opening in the other plate as movement progresses.  When the shoulders move past the edges of the opening, the tabs return to their unflexed positions, thus providing a snap fit coupling of the laterally adjacent plates.

Abstract: In a reconfigurable communications system, circuit status bits are stored in a first matrix of rows associated respectively with predefined network configurations and columns associated respectively with predefined circuit configurations. Destination status codes are stored in a second matrix of rows associated respectively with the circuit configurations and columns associated respectively with switching nodes of the system. Each circuit configuration comprises one or more transmission links and each circuit status bit stored in each column of the first matrix pattern indicates the presence or absence of the circuit configuration associated with that column. Each destination status code indicates the presence or absence of transmission links from each switching node to possible destination nodes. In response to a manual command, the circuit status bits stored in one of the rows of the first matrix are respectively multiplied with the destination status codes stored in each column of the second matrix, and the multiplied binary values are summed so that network configuration data is derived with respect to a desired network configuration, which is then transmitted to the switching nodes to reconfigure the system. A difference is detected between the network configuration data successively derived with respect to previous and most recent network configurations, and transmitted as network configuration signals to those switching nodes requiring reconfiguration.

Title: Low emissivity, high reflectivity insulation
Inventor: AANESTAD RANGVALD
IPC: B32B3/26
Filed: 1997-07-25
Granted: 2005-06-21
Abstract: A multi-layer flexible insulation comprises a series of layers which include a pair of closed-cell insulation sheets made of multicellular plastic film (i.e. closed cell air bubbles or bubble-pack) and laminated on both sides of a thin white polyethylene film, a pair of aluminum foil layers or films adhesively mounted on the outer surfaces of the bubble-pack insulation sheets, and a thin clear polyester layer provided on the outer surfaces of the aluminum layers. The aluminum layers are vapor deposited on the polyester layers and are assembled to the hot bubble-pack insulation sheets while the latter are cooled. The bubble-pack sheets are then adhered to the central polyethylene film with a hot melt glue. If the polyester is highly smooth, the aluminum can be deposited thereon in a uniform state thereby providing a high reflectivity, low emissivity, laminate. The outer polyester coatings also protect the aluminum layers such as to prevent any aluminum from rubbing off the insulation and also prevent the aluminum layers from oxidizing. Furthermore, the polyester coatings provide an hygiene barrier for the insulation.
