Patent CA-2237440-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SIMON CLIFFORD ELLIOTT
IPC: E05B7/00
Filed: 1998-05-12
Abstract: An operator for a multi-point locking system for a casement window is provided. The operator includes a handle having two opposing legs that pass through side walls in the escutcheon thereby leaving the outer wall of the escutcheon intact. Due to a delay between movement of the handle and the first link which indirectly imparts movement of the handle to the tie bar, the handle can be rotated a full 180° between the open and the closed positions while the first link is rotated through an angle of less than 180°. As a result, the handle lies in a flat position with respect to the inside window frame surface in both the open and closed positions. Because of the handle design which employs two opposing legs disposed on opposite sides of the escutcheon, the operator can be used both on the right side and the left side of a window frame. The legs of the handle include inwardly extending shafts which are accommodated and supported by braces disposed on opposing sides of the base. The shafts of the legs of the handle engage the braces and arches disposed on the slots the sidewalls of the housing through which the shafts pass to provide a series of tongue-in-groove relationships which provide structural stability to the connection between the legs and the escutcheon and an effective seal between the handle, escutcheon and base of the operator.

Title: Method and apparatus supporting non-geographic telephone numbers
Inventor: CHANG LI-FUNG
IPC: H04W8/26
Filed: 1996-03-27
Abstract: A communications network (200) may include a translation server (202) containing a NGPN-to-HLR mapping table. Translation servers (TS) may be configured in several ways. The server or several TSs may be on the network.  When a number of translation servers are used, a VLR (128) or other network entity receiving an NGPN determines which translation server contains the mapping for that NGPN. One way to do this is when a subscriber roams out of his "home" region, his NGPN is presented to the "foreign" service provider's TS. The foreing TS broadcasts a query to all other TSs in the network either simultaneously or in stages. Another way is that a VLR receiving a NGPN  performs a hash function of the NGPN. The hash function indentifies a translation server. The VLR may then query the translation server and obtain the NGPN-to-HLR mapping. Where a hash function is used, an extendable hash function to accomodate the addition of new TSs without changing the VLR  operating systems.
