Title: Intelligent call waiting
Inventor: EISDORFER JERRY
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 1995-06-21
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for using information about a calling party's identity or the importance of a call to control the call waiting signal played to a called party that is busy on another call. Upon determining that a called communication station is busy on another call, information about the identity of the calling party is obtained from the calling station. This information is processed to determine call routing treatment, and particularly to determine whether a call waiting signal is to be played for the call and, if so, what type of call waiting signaling is to be played. The called party can determine information about the identity of the calling party from the call waiting signaling, and thus determine whether to interrupt the call in progress to respond to the call waiting signal. In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, information about the calling party's identity is used to provide a distinctive call waiting signal which identifies the caller as being a particular individual or as a member of a particular group of individuals. In another exemplary embodiment of the invention, information about the calling party's identity controls whether a call waiting signal is played to the called party or suppressed.

Abstract: An improved etch behavior is promoted to generate vertical sidewalls for fuse links that will promote reliable and repeatable laser cutting of the fuse links. In one embodiment, dummy structures are added adjacent to fuse links in order to obtain the vertical sidewalls for reliable fuse deletion. The dummy structures form no part of the fuse or circuit structure but, because of the proximity of the dummy structures to the fuse links, vertical sidewalls are promoted in a reactive ion etch which is used to form the fuse array. In another embodiment, the vertical sidewalls of the fuse links are achieved in a damascene process in which grooves are formed in an oxide layer and filled with a metal. These grooves correspond to the fuse links and alternating dummy structures. Once filled, the surface is planarized using a chemical-mechanical process. The dummy structures provide reinforcement for the metallization (metal and dielectric film), maintaining the integrity of the metallization. In both embodiments, the vertical sidewalls and constant height of the resulting fuse links promote reliable laser cutting.

Abstract: A light fitting with at least one lamp (2) has at least one reflector (1) with at least one essentially straight profiled section. On the side facing the lamp the reflective surface is formed by a number of facets (6a) which, in section along the length of the profile, are not parallel to the longitudinal direction (7a) of the profile. Also claimed is a forming tool for injection moulding or pressing with a male and female part for producing the faceted surface. Also claimed are production processes involving the use of a carrier which is subsequently coated with a reflective material. The shape of the facets is produced on the forming tools by rotary milling cutters or by grinding. Preferably the facets (6a) can be convex and/or concave but are preferably uniformly curved in section. They are plane in the longitudinal direction and subtend an acute angle at the profile longitudinal direction (7a). They form a chequer pattern which can be rectangular or can be displaced at an angle from row to row, pref. at half the facet size. On long light fittings, e.g. for fluorescent tubes, intermediate cross partitions of a similar reflective construction are spaced along the length of the main reflector. On a square light fitting, the size of the facets is less at the rounded corners of the reflector where it has three-dimensional curvature. The reflectors are made of metal by pressing or in a metallised plastic by injection moulding and coating.

Abstract: A filling system of a packaging machine is set forth that reduces the mixing of
product and air during the filling of the container with a flowable material such as low fat
milk. The fill pipe of the filling system has an elliptical cross-section which provides for
a reduced velocity of the flowable material entering the container while allowing for an
increased production time of the packaging machine. The filling system is designed to
fill a container having a cross-section defined by a plurality of sidewalls, an interior
bottom engaging the sidewalls, and an open top. The fill system is especially adopted to
fill containers having a rectangular cross-section. The system includes a fill pump for
pumping a flowable material through a fill pipe (40) to a nozzle (80) and into a container. The
nozzle includes a collar composed of a strong silicone material and a plurality of flaps
composed of a flexible material such as silicone rubber. In a preferred embodiment, the
flaps of the nozzle are designed to substantially conform and engage with the sidewalls (145) of
a container having a rectangular cross-section, when the flaps are urged to an open
position to thereby inhibit mixing of air and product as the flowable material is dispensed
into the container through the nozzle and as a moving mechanism is operated to relatively
move the container and nozzle from a first to a second position. The fill pipe has an
elongate body, an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end is in flow communication
with the fill pump and may have a circular cross-section. The outlet end is in flow
communication with the nozzle and has an elliptical cross-section. The cross-section of
the elongate body gradually transforms from a circular cross-section at the inlet end to an 
elliptical cross-section at the outlet end. Preferably, the fill pipe is composed of a
stainless steel material for durability and hygienic purposes.
