Abstract: A method for detecting translation data error in a central office switch comprises: receiving a call directed to a ported directory number in a switch; retrieving translation data from the switch memory to connect the call to a customer line; and determining that the call cannot be completed to a customer line served by the switch. Upon determining that the call cannot be connected to a customer line served by the switch, a translation data error (TDE) indicator is set in the switch memory so that the instant call, and all subsequent calls directed to the same ported directory number, are connected to an announcement circuit. An translation data error message is also sent to a central switch maintenance and control center by the switch.

Title: Process for manufacturing a protective laminate
Inventor: DRUECKE FRANK GERALD
IPC: C09J113/02
Filed: 1994-12-21
Abstract: Disclosed is a process of manufacturing a water-based adhesive bonded, solvent resistant protective laminate utilizing the steps of: providing a film having a first surface and a second surface; depositing a discontinuous coating of a cross-linked, carboxylated styrene-butadiene rubber latex adhesive on the first surface of the film, the latex adhesive containing an effective amount of a cross-linking agent; joining a fibrous nonwoven web into intimate bonding contact with the film and adhesive; and removing water from the adhesive thereby causing cross-linking at reactive sites. The adhesive may be deposited utilizing gravure printing techniques and is desirably deposited at a rate greater than about 2 grams per square meter of film. Also disclosed is an adhesively bonded, solvent resistant protective laminate produced by the process. The film component of the laminate may be composed of a thermoset polymer or a thermoplastic polymer. The film may also be microporous or microapertured. The nonwoven fibrous web component may be selected from bonded carded webs, spunbonded webs, webs of meltblown fibers, multi-ply fibrous webs containing the same type of fibrous web, and multi-ply fibrous webs containing different types of fibrous webs.

IPC: F16D65/00

Abstract: Le bruit de frein (grincement désagréable) provoqué par le fonctionnement d'un frein est effectivement réduit. Un poids est monté via un corps élastique sur un élément vibrant (plaquette, piston, étrier) d'un frein à disque de façon à exercer une force de freinage qui retient par les bords un rotor à disque au moyen de deux plaquettes de frein. Ce poids entre en vibration sous l'effet de la vibration des plaquettes de frein parce que le poids est monté via un corps élastique sur l'élément vibrant. La vibration du poids présente une basse fréquence, et sa phase est la même que celle de la vibration d'une plaquette de frein. Toutefois, au fur et à mesure de l'accroissement de la fréquence de vibration d'une plaquette de frein, la phase de vibration du poids commence à s'écarter progressivemement de la phase de vibration d'une plaquette de frein. Le déphasage atteint presque 180 degrés lorsque la fréquence approche ou dépasse une certaine fréquence. La vibration d'une plaquette de frein peut être supprimée par la vibration du poids si on fait correspondre cette certaine fréquence à la fréquence du grincement du frein. Il est possible de réduire le grincement de frein d'un poids lourd pourvu de freins à disques de grandes dimensions à un niveau suffisant dans la pratique, uniquement en ajoutant des pièces bon marché, ce qui permet de conserver ses performances d'origine, même après remplacement des plaquettes de frein.

The resilient wall section connects the root wall section to the frame-engaging section and has a thickness which is generally greater than that of the root wall section and frame-engaging wall section, at least in certain areas, as well as a convexly curved outward configuration which is preferably larger and more extensive on one side than on the other, to provide improved biasing of the jamb liner between the jamb and the window sash which reliably and strongly urges the jamb liner toward the stiles of the sash whereby an enhanced weather seal is provided and maintained.
Patent CA-2189489-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WYNN WOODSON DALE
IPC: H04B3/32
Filed: 1996-11-04
Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for reducing, in communication signals received by a local network from a remote network (FAR-IN signals), thatenergy content that is attributable to echoes of signals transmitted into the local network (NEAR-IN signals). This is achieved, in part, by generating a time-varying TEMPLATE signal which represents the smoothed energy content of NEAR-IN signals delayed according to the echo path and attenuated by an estimated echo transmission loss. A non-linear processor passes the FAR-IN signal substantiallywithout attenuation if it exceeds the TEMPLATE, but attenuates the FAR-IN signalif it lies within a defined range below the TEMPLATE.
