Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling a local area network wiring structure to simultaneously carry digital data and analog telephone signals on the same transmission medium. It is particularly applicable to a network in star topology, in which remote data units (e.g. personal computers) are each connected to a hub through a cable comprising at least two pairs of conductors, providing a data communication path in each direction.  Modules at each end of the cable provide a phantom path for telephony (voice band) signals between a telephone near the data set and a PBX, through both conductor pairs in a phantom circuit arrangement. All such communication paths function simultaneously and without mutual interference. The modules comprise simple and inexpensive passive circuit components.

Abstract: A fire suppression system for an appliance is provided. The fire suppression system includes a fire suppression storage con-tainer for storing a fire suppression agent, a detection system that interacts with a release assembly, a release assembly in communica-tion with the fire suppression storage container for controlling the release of the fire suppres-sion agent from the fire suppression storage container, a nozzle in a fixed position relative to the appliance, and a fire suppression agent conduit from the fire suppression storage con-tainer to the nozzle. The fire suppression agent conduit acts as a conduit for the fire suppres-sion agent from the fire suppression storage container to the nozzle. The fire suppression agent conduit may partly include hard piping and partly include a flexible hose. Since the flexible hose is bendable, it enables movement of the appliance so that the area around the ap-pliance may be cleaned. Further, swivel con-nectors may connect the flexible hose with the hard piping, thereby reducing the possibility that the flexible hose kinks during movement of the appliance. In addition, a restraining ca-ble may be connected between the appliance and a wall, thereby limiting the appliance movement and reducing the possibility of damage to the flexible hose.
