Patent CA-2136504-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GEROW JOHN B
IPC: H01R13/52
Filed: 1994-11-23
Abstract: A connector system is described wherein the most vulnerable parts of the front mating ends of a pair of connectors can be easily replaced in the field. The first connector (12, Fig. 2) includes a shell (20), a main insulator (22) within the shell, and main contacts (24) lying in the main insulator and having socket front ends (30). A first insert module (32) has an insert insulator (36) and insert contacts (38) with pin type rear ends. The first module is inserted into the shell of the first connector to mate with the main contacts. If the front ends (40) of the insert contacts are damaged, the connector can be repaired in the field by merely removing the first module and replacing it with another module. The second connector (14) is similarly constructed, with the modules (36, 36A) of the two connectors being identical so a single spare module can replace either one. The first module that lies in the first connector, has contact front ends forming sockets (40, Fig. 3) which are surrounded by a rigid insulator forming tapered passages (120) that guide pins into the sockets. The second module which lies in the second connector has contacts with pin-type front ends (62A), with the rears of the pins being surrounded by a layer (110) of elastomeric material that has a convex front end (114) to deform against the rigid front face (70) of the first module.

IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1994-06-22
Abstract: An interexchange carrier (IXC) provides different treatment for calls on which it receives an indication that the caller dialed its access code. Calls placed without dialing the access code of the IXC are completed as in the prior art. One such treatment permits a subscriber to supply an IXC with an associated telephone number to which calls to the subscriber's telephone number should be directed when the caller dials the IXC's access code. A call is originated at a telephone (701). The IXC switch recognizes that its access code was dialed and queries its association data base using the called number (703). The association for the called subscriber is located, if there is one (705), enabling retrieval of the stored forwarding telephone number (707). The call is routed to the telephone line indicated by the forwarding telephone number (709) and the process then exits in step 711.

Patent CA-2157652-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GETMANN IGOR
IPC: H03H9/145
Filed: 1995-09-06
Abstract: An ultrasonic piezoelectric transducer is alternatingly operated in a transmitting mode and in a receiving mode. In the transmitting mode an electrical excitation signal is applied between one or more common electrodes and one or more transmission electrodes, and in the receiving mode an electrical reception signal is collected between the one or more common electrodes and one or more reception electrodes. Moreover, in the receiving mode one or more electrodes which are not used as reception electrodes are connected via a low impedance connection with the one or more common electrodes which has the effect that in the receiving mode the reso-nance frequencies of the piezoelectric transducer are shifted to lower values so that with the same operating frequency the piezolectric transducer is in series resonance in the transmitting mode and in parallel resonance in the receiving mode. In this way, the piezoelectric transducer operates under optimum conditions with perfect frequency matching both for transmission and for reception.

Title: Facsimile apparatus capable of recognizing hand-written addressing information
Inventor: MATSUBARA SHIGETOSHI
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 1996-05-09
Abstract: A facsimile apparatus includes a transmission motor (90), and when an original to be transmitted is moved by the transmission motor in a sub-scanning direction, sequential lines in the sub-scanning direction are scanned by a contact image sensor (100) in a main scanning direction, and therefore, image data of a black dot or a white dot is outputted by the contact image sensor. A microcomputer (60) specifies a line in which a black dot outputted from the contact image sensor first exists as a start line, and specifies an area on the basis of the start line and an end line which is determined by a fact that three white lines in which no black dots are detected appear after the start line. Addressing information is recognized on the basis of the image data outputted from the contact image sensor which is scanning the area.
