Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing a web from a roll of paper includes a housing and a cover connected thereto to provide access to the housing interior.  The dispenser has mechanism for supporting a paper roll and a drive roller and tension roller operatively associated therewith which urges paper from the  paper  roll  into  contact  with  the  drive  roller  for dispensing a length of paper from the paper roll.  Actuator mechanism  operates  the  drive  roller  and  extends  across substantially the entire housing at the bottom thereof.   A roller frame assembly is mounted within the housing and carries the tension roller and a transfer roller.  The transfer roller releasably holds the free end of a first paper roll while paper from the second roll  is  dispensed upon actuation of  the actuator to rotate the drive roller.  Because the paper from a second paper roll is positioned between the drive roller and the transfer roller, rotation of the transfer roller during rotation of the drive roller is prevented until the second paper roll is exhausted.

Abstract: A vehicle anti-theft device is disclosed. The anti-theft device provides a key operated switch that makes or breaks the electrical continuity of four electrical circuits. These electrical circuits are essential to the operation of the vehicle; therefore their discontinuity prevents vehicle operation. A lock housing carries a lock having a rotating spindle. The spindle carries a perpendicular dive pin which engages a bushing having a helix shaped groove in its interior surface. A tab-like raised key sliding in a keyway slot in the housing prevents the bushing from rotating. Therefore, rotation of the spindle creates art axial movement of the bushing. A male contact block, carrying four U-shaped solid contact pins may be extended by the axial movement of the bushing to engage a female contact block carrying eight female socket contacts which are connected to eight in-coming wires. When extended, each U-shaped pin creates electrical continuity between a pair of wires. When retracted, the four circuits are electrically discontinuous, and the vehicle operation is prevented

Title: Hybrid access architecture for voice messaging systems
Inventor: CONCEPCION CRONDER
IPC: H04M3/533
Filed: 1997-03-27
Granted: 2000-02-08
Abstract: An architecturally and cost efficient method and system are disclosed for accessing a voice messaging platform. An exemplary method for accessing the platform includes: (1) forwarding a telephone call to the platform over foreign exchange lines when the telephone call involves a caller who, upon call initiation to a called party subscriber, encountered a busy or ring-no-answer condition, so that the caller may leave a message for the called party in the called party's mailbox; and (2) routing a telephone call to the platform over a trunk group local to the platform when the telephone call involves a caller-subscriber initiating a telephone call directly to the platform to access his/her mailbox to retrieve messages, administer greetings, and/or send voice messages to other subscribers. For calls forwarded over foreign exchange lines, the platform is provided with a wide variety of call information transmitted via an SMDI link. For direct calls, calls are routed to the trunk group via an LEC network capable of transmitting a calling party number associated with each call and thus, the platform is provided with the only call information necessary to service such calls - namely, a calling party number. As such, direct traffic to the platform is aggregated through the end office local to the platform and economies of scale are achieved. Moreover, all subscribers to the voice messaging service, regardless of their geographic location, can dial the same number to access the voice messaging platform.

Granted: 2007-04-24
Abstract: A speech encoder (100) receives speech signals (S) which are encoded and transmitted on a communication channel (120). Silence in the speech is utilized by a data encoder (101) to transmit data on the speech frequency band via the channel (120). A signal classifier (103) switches between the encoders (100, 101). The speech encoder has synthesis filter (115) with state variables in a delay line, predictor adaptor (116), gain predictor (113, 114) and excitation codebook (112). The data encoder (101) has delay line with state variables stored and updated in a buffer (192). On switching (103, 102, 193) from data to speech, the buffer state variables are fed into the synthesis filter delay line via an input (144) for smooth transition in the speech encoding. Coefficient values in the synthesis filter (115) and an excitation signal (ET(1...5)) are generated. Thereby a buffer in the gain predictor (11 3, 114) is preset and its predictor coefficients and gain are generated. The incoming speech signal (S) newly detected is encoded (CW) by the values generated in the speech encoder (100), which is successively adapted. The receiver side has corresponding speech and data decoders.

Abstract: A fireplace adapted to heat multiple heating zones of a building, controlled by a control circuit which adjusts the heat input to the fireplace, airflow through the fireplace and ducting of the airflow to the various zones individually in response to a call for heat by thermostats in the zones. The fireplace may also be adapted to provide cooled or circulated air to the zones and may also serve to provide heating to the zones in the event of an electrical power outage. The fireplace is provided with a cabinet having ducts through which air is conveyed by use of a fan to a tube-type heat exchanger, the heat exchanger also in communication with the hot flue gases exiting the combustion chamber of the fireplace. The air heated by the heat exchanger is conveyed to a multitude of fireplace outlets, each of which is provided with a damper which regulates the airflow through the outlet to one of the zones to be heated, depending on whether that zone calls for heat through its thermostat. The fireplace is also provided with an evaporator core in an evaporator case, the core being part of an air conditioning system. Air flowing through the fireplace may bypass the cabinet ducts and tube-type heat exchanger, instead being directed to flow through the evaporator core, where it may be cooled, and then to the fireplace outlets for distribution to the zones.
