Abstract: A user interface for a craftsperson's portable signal processing and communication unit incorporates an intermediate translating mechanism, termed "middleware", that is effectively invisible to an operational support system ((OSS), such as an AT&T CAS, and is operative to generate a text/graphics interface having one or more functionall "buttons". The buttons are displayed on the portable unit's contact-sensitive display screen and are invoked by the craftsperson placing a contact pen against the button. When a button is invoked, the middleware interface generates the appropriate alpha-numeric or other code used by the operational support system to represent the invoked function. Such an implementation of the user interface frees the craftsperson from having to be familiar with OSS codes, or look up in a separate database the required alpha-numeric code formats, employed by such support systems.

Abstract: A switching circuit for operational direction of the heat resistors in vehicle air quality monitors positions the heat resistor (RH) in a voltage divider (22) connected to a temperature-dependent actual-value voltage (U3). The resistor's sensitivity to pollutants such as carbon monoxide in the air may be increased by heating. Automatic opening of an air valve then admits fresh air into the vehicle cabin. This use of a voltage divider gives controlled and measured direction of the heat resistor. The ratio between the resistor's heating time and cooling time can be optimised so that the sensor element is used with maximum economy.

IPC: H04Q3/66
Filed: 1996-03-13
Abstract: A telecommunication network may be arranged in accord with the invention so that a change in provisioning data occurring at one element of the network is automatically supplied to the other elements of the network, thereby eliminating the need of having a network administration facility to communicate manually the change to the other network elements. For example, if a local central office switch is rehomed from a first toll switch to a second toll switch, then the first and second toll switches form messages respectively characterizing the rehome and then send the messages to each of the other network toll switches so that the other toll switches may update their respective routing and trunking data relating to the rehomed switch. The network is also arranged to implement a rule-based, end-to-end routing scheme which automatically selects a routing path from multiple candidates based on (a) class-of-service parameters and (b) availability of network capacity. The automatic selection of a routing path thus replaces the provisioning of routing data in the toll switches, which data was priorly needed to select the appropriate routing path.

Abstract: A sanitary napkin with laterally projecting positioning tabs. The adhesive securement system of the sanitary napkin includes three adhesive zones in a spaced apart relationship, namely one zone on the main body of the sanitary napkin and one zone on the undergarment facing surface of each positioning tab. A quick-remove peelable protective layer covers the adhesive zones when the sanitary napkin is not in use. The protective layer includes a primary release strip extending longitudinally on the sanitary napkin to cover the adhesive zone on the main body and a transversal secondary release strip overlaying the adhesive zones on the positioning tabs. This arrangement allows to remove the entire protective layer in a single peel-off stroke. The invention also relates to a method and apparatus for folding a positioning tab of the sanitary napkin over its main body during a packaging operation that inserts the sanitary napkin in a disposable pouch. The method comprises the steps of creating a crease in the transverse release strip of the protective layer, near the juncture between the positioning tab and the main body of the sanitary napkin. The transverse release strip is made of sufficiently rigid paper material so the crease maintains the positioning tab in a folded condition during the packaging operation.

Abstract: A shared-disk cluster system includes a cluster membership manager framework which coordinates the joining or leaving among all nodes in a cluster including taking the multiple layers of involved subsystems through transitions. Subsystems are notified of transitions in particular order depending upon the transition, and all nodes' subsystems receiving a notification must process that notification prior to another layer of subsystems being notified. One of the subsystems registered for notification is an event manager in user space. The event manager carries out transfers of client services, including user applications, resulting from nodes joining and leaving the cluster. This includes a registration and launch service which registers a node, or multiple nodes, in a cluster which claims, or is assigned, responsibility for the service and provides an optional launching function which initiates the client service upon successful registration.
