Abstract: A wheeled top guide for rolling movement of a door along an inverted U-shaped track includes a housing for mounting on the door with an upwardly-extending axle and a roller thereon for rolling engagement with one side wall of the track. A  vertically-oriented torsion member is seated in the housing and has a vertically-extending elongated torsion rod having its lower end fixed on the housing, a horizontally-extending arm having one end secured to the upper end of the torsion rod and extending away from the first axle, and an upwardly-extending axle adjacent the other end of the arm.  A second roller on this axle is in rolling engagement with the other side wall of the track and is spaced from the first roller. The second roller and arm are resiliently displaceable about the longitudinal axis of the torsion rod towards the housing for insertion of the rollers into the track, and the resulting torque in the torsion rod produces a force biasing the arm and thereby the second roller to maintain the rollers in firm rolling contact with the side walls of the track.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne une méthodologie de résolution d'adresses générique et de bout en bout. Les adresses de destination se trouvant sous un format donné sont transformées en adresses locales de formats différents afin de répartir les appels à travers plusieurs réseaux interconnectés qui utilisent des formats d'adresse différents. La transformation des adresses se fait soit en interrogeant une base de données, soit à l'aide d'un algorithme de conversion. Afin de faciliter la répartition à travers un réseau particulier, le message de signalisation de l'appel est remis en paquet de sorte que l'adresse locale soit utilisée comme adresse de routage. L'adresse de destination originale est conservée et transportée de manière transparente à travers le réseau, après quoi le message de signalisation est remis en paquet de sorte que l'adresse de destination soit utilisée comme adresse de routage. Il est ainsi possible d'obtenir des schémas d'adressage à deux niveaux de sorte qu'une adresse de destination au niveau réseau et une adresse de destination au niveau utilisateur puissent toutes deux être transportées de manière transparente à travers un réseau particulier.

Title: Wireless mobile call location and delivery for non-geographic numbers using a wireline ssp+scp/wireless hlr interface
Inventor: HOWE WALTER WESLEY
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 2000-06-29
Granted: 2009-09-01
Abstract: A system and method is provided for establishing a call to a wireless directory number that comprises either a non-geographic directory number or a non--diable directory number. A call is placed from a wireline telephone (155) to a preselected geographic-based access directory number (DN). The originating switching node (150, 810), which may be an AIN-capable SSP, recognizes the access DN as an AIN trigger, and thereafter identifies a signaling node (220, 820), which may be an AIN-capable SCP, that is associated with the dialed access DN. The originating switching node (150, 810) is then controlled to provide dialtone and collect digits from the caller, the collected digits corresponding to the non- geographic or non-dialable wireless directory number. Thereafter, the originating switching node (150, 810) transmits the collected digits to the signaling node (220, 820). The signaling node (220, 820) sends a location request that includes the wireless DN to an HLR, which returns a temporary local directory number (TLDN) in accordance with ANSI-41 processing protocols. The call connection is thereafter performed directly from the originating switching node (150, 810) in the end office to a visited cellular switch using the TLDN. The method and system allows mobile location and call delivery using non-geographic directory numbers with a single call from any end-point.

Abstract: A high-speed wide range counter for Automated Test Equipment applications is divided into two separate, parallel counting blocks for counting over a wide range of count values including short and minimum counts while optimizing gate utilization. The first counting block based on pipeline logic circuitry is used to perform lo ng counts and the second counting block based on wide parallel logic circuitry is used to perform short counts. The two blocks operate one at a time, exclusively of each other. The ir outputs are combined to provide a final count value. The overall counter is optimize d for high speeds as required in today's ATE applications since the combinatorial logic delay with polynomial counter decoding stages is avoided in the case of short count values. The counter also supports loading on a cycle-by-cycle basis.

Title: Method of and apparatus for time synchronization in a communication system
Inventor: MOERDER KARL E
IPC: H04B7/212
Filed: 1999-07-21
Granted: 2012-01-03
Abstract: Time alignment of a signal from a remote unit (40) at a hub station (20) of a multiple access system is achieved based upon an initial time indication received from the hub station (20) at the remote unit (40) via a satellite (30). The remote unit (40) transmits a signal to the satellite (30), monitors for a retransmission of the signal from the satellite (30) and measures the time difference between the outgoing and incoming signals. The remote unit (40), then, uses the time difference to more finely adjust the time alignment. Alternatively, the remote unit (40) transmits a first signal advanced with respect to an on-time estimate to the hub station (20) and receives a responsive energy indication from the hub station (20). The remote unit (40) transmits a second signal delayed with respect to the on-time estimate to the hub station (20) and receives a responsive energy indication from the hub station (20). The remote unit (40) compares the two energy indications and adjusts the on-time estimate. In another embodiment, the remote unit (40') receives a compensated time indication from the hub station (20'). The remote unit (40') compares the time indication with the time at which the indication was actually received based upon a local, accurate time reference. The remote unit (40') sets a transmission timer equal to the current time indicated by the local reference advanced by the difference between the time indication and the time which the time indication was received.
