Title: Intelligent facsimile user interface and method of use
Inventor: REIFMAN JEFFREY B
IPC: H04N1/00
Filed: 1994-05-17
Abstract: INTELLIGENT FACSIMILE USER INTERFACE AND METHOD OF USE                Abstract of the Disclosure A user interface simplifies operation of a intelligent facsimile machine (IFAX). A display screen displays a plurality of menus and allows the user to select from the menus. The IFAX can store a plurality of digital cover pages to minimize transmission time for a facsimile cover page. The user may select from a list of stored digital cover pages. The user may also attach a binary data file to a facsimile message and transfer the data to another facsimile machine. The IFAX uses a storage location for storing outgoing facsimile messages. The IFAX periodically check the storagelocation to determine if more than one facsimile message is to be transmitted to the same location and transmits the facsimile messages in one facsimile telephone call. If the IFAX is coupled to a second IFAX on a network, the two IFAX machines can balance the work load by sending a load transfer request if the number of outgoing facsimile messages exceeds a predetermined threshold level. The IFAX can also route incoming facsimile messages to a variety of destinations such as a floppy disk or other storage device, or an external computer. The IFAX can also relay incoming facsimile messages to another facsimile machine, using a set or relay instructions. The relay instructions may be stored in the IFAX or may be a portion of the incoming facsimile message. The relay instructions may be nested, and the IFAX sends the facsimile message to a second IFAX with instructions for the second IFAX to relay the facsimile message to a third facsimile machine. The IFAX contains security measures to prevent unauthorized relaying.

Patent CA-2137944-A1 (CA)
Title: Timed-off control apparatus and method
Inventor: POWELL JOE R
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 1994-12-13
Abstract: An improved timed-off control apparatus and method are provided to prevent excessive cycling of an electrically operated device, such as an air conditioning compressor. The timed-off control apparatus provides a predetermined timed-off period (e.g., five minutes), during which the electrically operated device is constrained to remain in an off state after the device is deactivated by a loss of power. For example, in an air conditioning system, fluctuations in power supply voltage and thermostat switch bounces may result in excessive cycling of the system compressor. By constraining the compressor to remain deactivated for the selected timed-off period, the compressor is protected against excessive cycling. In order to achieve consistent and predictable timed-off periods, a field effect transistor (FET) is used in conjunction with a resistance/capacitance (RC) circuit. When the power supply is interrupted, the FET is turned off state and remains off during the timed-offperiod. When the FET is off, the compressor remains off, even if electrical power becomes available during the timed-off period. The FET monitors the voltage across the capacitor of the RC circuit while the capacitor is being discharged and when the voltage drops below a predetermined threshold, the FET is turned on to allow resumption of compressor operation. The time at which the voltage across the capacitor reaches the predetermined threshold is a function of the capacitor discharge rate. Because the FET does not draw biasing current, the capacitor discharge rate is not affected by the FET. Therefore, consistent and predictable timed-off periods are achieved.
