Title: Briquette and label separation system
Inventor: FRANCIS EVAN
IPC: B08B3/00
Filed: 2003-04-11
Abstract: A system for processing containers, such as post-consumer plastic bottles, h as a releaser for breaking apart compacted bales of containers and mixing them wi th steam to aid with the de-clumping process and to promote label release from the containers. The system further includes a separator for receiving the containers from the releaser. The separator has two counter-rotating rollers inclined to the horizontal adapte d to urge the labels away from the containers. Beater bars on the rollers assist in tearin g away labels from the containers and urging the released labels through established gaps in the separator. Water is not needed to de-clump the bales and de-label the containers as the releaser functions with steam alone and gravity moves the containers along t he separator. Water is optionally used to periodically flush the releaser and separator of any labels and contaminants. Two or more separators may be used in series.

Title: Switch-based call processing with detection of voice path connection between multiple trunks in external network
Inventor: MILTON STEPHEN M
IPC: H04M3/54
Filed: 2004-02-06
Abstract: A private branch exchange (PBX) or other communication system switch is configured to establish connections for at least first and second calls associated with an external endpoint, using respective first and second trunks. Upon detection of a voice path connection between the first and second calls in a network external to the switch, the switch conferences the first and second calls together within the switch and drops at least one of the trunk connections. The switch may detect the voice path connection using an active approach in which a designated signal is generated on one of the first and second trunks and a determination is made as to whether the designated signal is detected on the other trunk. As another example, the switch may detect the voice path connection using a passive approach which involves monitoring the first and second trunks to determine whether they are connected in the external network.
