Abstract: This invention relates to a rubber plate (elastic) (FIG.1) which, when soldered at its edges (FIG. 1A) to the inside of the body (case) of a watch (or other object) (FIG. 3A), totally seals it against water and dust. At the same time, in view of the fact that it is soldered at its sides (edges), its central part remains totally free, thus permitting the movement of the outside control buttons (FIG. 4C, D and 6A) and activating the mechanism, whether it is electronic (FIG. 3D) or mechanical (FIG. 5 and 7) (digital or analog). When the external controls are pressed, the corresponding function is switched on internally (FIG. 4E, F). A single plate (FIG. 3A) can be used for various controls (FIG. 3B, C) or one plate for each control (FIG. 4A, B), depending on the distance between them and the space available in the watch-case. This system, which involves extremely low costs, is not exclusive to watches and can be used for any instrument that is intended to be placed in deep water or where a lot of dust is present (or non-corrosive liquids), for example stopwatches, cameras, video cameras, floodlights, underwater weapons, etc., without the risk of any penetration, even at a great depth.

Abstract: A relaxation oscillator, such as a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), with automatic swing control feedback which dynamically monitors the voltage swing across a capacitor and adjusts the oscillator threshold voltage, at which reversal of the polarity of the charging/discharging current occurs, to maintain the effective voltage swing at a constant level. The improved relaxation oscillator provides a very wide linear range of frequency variation versus control voltage (or current) and allows for the extendibility of linear operation to or near the maximum frequency that can be practically achieved by the oscillator circuitry. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for enabling user interaction between a user terminal and a service control point in an intelligent network that comprises at least one service control point. This intelligent network further comprises at least one service switching point that is coupled to the service control point. Besides this there is an operator position that contains a computer terminal coupled to the service control point and a telephone terminal that is coupled to the service switching point. . If this service control point needs input data for executing a service, it sends a display to the computer terminal of an operator position, where this display requests the operator at the operator position for user information. The service switching point, in the mean time, establishes a connection between the user terminal and the operator position telephone terminal. The operator at the operator position handles the user interaction between the service control point and the user terminal via the operator computer terminal and the operator telephone terminal over the connection. Then the operator position computer terminal sends the user information to the service control point. <IMAGE>
