IPC: H04M1/27453
Filed: 1993-03-30
Abstract: A telephone answering device (TAD) (25) which includes a means of intelligently organizing voice messages, associated entered codes such as personal IDs and home telephone numbers, and information stored in the memory of the TAD. These codes or numbers are decoded by means of the caller entering DTMF signals into the telephone which are recognized, recorded and processed by the TAD. When processed with codes and personal information previously entered into the device's memory, the TAD displays (32) the identity of the callers for each message, thus providing a menu of choices, i.e., a list of callers. This enables the user to access messages in a selective manner based on the identity of the caller. The need to listen to the actual voice messages to determine the caller's identity and the need to listen to the messages sequentially or chronologically is obviated, saving both time and effort.

Abstract: A foamer nozzle (20) for use with a trigger operated pump sprayer of the type utilized with a foamable liquid optimises the foaming action by maximising the amount of mixing of the spray particles in the plume emitted from the discharge orifice of the sprayer with aspirated air. Such optimisation is achieved through use of opposing pairs of individual separate and spaced apart looped ribs (80) lying in a common place substantially parallel to and downstream from the wall containing the discharge orifice, with each of the ribs having a tip (80') and a pair of spaced legs (80'') which define an opening therebetween. The ribs are preferably tear-drop shaped in cross-section, with the rear edges thereof being substantially V-shaped for impingement by the spray plume. In a further embodiment, an additional set of ribs are disposed in a member which is press-fit within an annular wall downstream from the first set, such that the additional set of ribs is substantially parallel to the first set, but angularly offset by about 45 degrees with respect thereto.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display driving device which restrains fluctuation in pixel density when combining Multiple Line Selection and Pulse Width Modulation of display half tone. 
     The orthonormal function generating circuit (7) applies a plurality of row signals represented by a set of orthonormal functions to the group of row electrodes (2) through the vertical driver (4) for each of selecting periods by set sequential scanning. The dot product computation circuit (8) carries out dot product computation between the set of orthonormal functions and the set of selected pixel data. The horizontal driver (5) applies to the column signal having the voltage level according to the result of the dot product computation, to the group of column electrodes (3). The frame memory (6) holds pixel data with gray shading including a plurality of bits. The dot product computation circuit (8) divides the set of pixel data by the bits and carries out the above dot product computation to generate the column signal components corresponding to the respective bit significance. The horizontal driver (5) arranges the column signal components in an order from the column signal component corresponding to a more significant bit with a large pulse width to that corresponding to a less significant bit with a small pulse width to compose the column signal and applies the signal to the group of column electrodes (3). The voltage level circuit (12) lowers the voltage level to the predetermined reference potential once between the column signal components and supplies the voltage level to the horizontal driver (5).
