Title: Stabilization of jet wiped wire
Inventor: ROBERTSON MALCOLM ALLAN
IPC: C23C2/26
Filed: 1989-08-08
Granted: 1991-11-14
Abstract: The surface quality and lustre of galvanised wire produced by the gas jet wiping method and cooled by jets of a cooling fluid may be improved by exposing the wire (10) to a reactive gas atmosphere containing sulphide or chloride radicals in a gas containment vessel (17) after the wire has passed through the gas jet wiping nozzle (16) and before it is contacted by the cooling fluid from water spouts (23). The wire is exposed to the reactive gas atmosphere for a sufficient length of time to form a protective surface coating of metal sulphide or chloride.

Title: High speed facility protection in digital telecommunication system
Inventor: RICHARDSON C DOUGLAS
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 1993-07-07
Granted: 1996-03-14
Abstract: A digital communications system with fast facility protection is disclosed. The system include, at least one digital cross-connect (2) which is in bidirectional communication with east and west routes (EAST, WEST) of the network via east and west transmit ports (EO, WO) and east and west receive ports (EI, WI). The cross-connect (2) broadcasts a facility over both the east and west routes, and receives the return facility over one of the routes. The cross-connect (2) monitors the error status of the received facility (EI) for hard error conditions and excessive error rates, by way of a distributed processor (16) in communication with the port (EI). In the event of an error, the cross-connect blind switches the facility to the inactive port (WI) by way of a receive-end switch, according to a first embodiment. According to another embodiment, a head-end switch is performed, thus allowing for improved flexibility for port assignment in the cross-connect (2). <IMAGE>

Title: Stored program private branch exchange
Inventor: BOTTGER DETLEV
IPC: H04M15/34
Filed: 1985-11-21
Granted: 1987-09-03
Abstract: A caller in a private branch exchange has the possibility of designating an intended outside call as a "private call". For this purpose, first of all a peripheral unit (personal computer) is selected via a dedicated connection. The system transmits to this unit the identification code (caller number) of the calling party concerned. Then the caller has to send a code individually assigned to him. This code can be given, for example, by dialling a combination of numbers exclusively assigned to this particular caller. Another possibility is for the caller to insert an identity card provided with a corresponding coding into a reader with him. The peripheral unit (PC) checks whether the identification code and the individually assigned code corresponds to a fixed assignment held as stored information. If this authorisation check is positive, the charge register is transmitted a code which declares the following call as a private call. The calling party is thereupon allocated a free outside line, taking into account a corresponding outgoing call rate. <IMAGE>
