Title: A method for remotely configuring an ISDN boundary call router
Inventor: JAMES DAVID HUGH
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1998-01-29
Abstract: A method for remotely configuring the parameters within an ISDN Boundary Call Router, which uses configuration information encoded into call establishment message fields normally used for call compatibility checks. The configuration information is encoded in such a way that the values used are valid for transmission across the network, and will be passed end to end between originating terminal and destination terminal. The call compatibility fields are encoded such that the destination terminal will not accept the call. One or more call establishment messages may be required to pass the parameter information. This results in the exchange of configuration information without the establishment of the B channel connection. For call routing devices incapable of originating a call establishment message, a method is provided for redirecting an establishment message from an attached terminal.

Patent GB-191510873-A (GB)
IPC: F16D41/02
Abstract: 10,873. Imrie, H., [Reece Button Hole Machine Co.]. July 27. Clutches, ratchet; operating clutches. - Relates to ratchet clutches provided with means for disengagement and for positively stopping the driven shaft when the clutch is disengaged. An eccentric portion 10 of the driven shaft 2 loosely carries a sleeve 9 with an arm 8 adapted to engage the interior of a driving-drum 3 when rotated by a tension spring 12, connected at opposite ends to the shaft and to the sleeve. To disengage the clutch, the stop-end 19 of a lever 17 is moved into the path of a second arm 16 on the sleeve 9, not in the same plane as the arm 8. The lever 17 is operated by the cam-end 26 of a manually-operated lever 23, the cam being so shaped that lateral movement of the lever 17, and thus of the sleeve 9, is prevented and the shaft 2 is brought positively to rest. A sliding bolt 36 is engaged by a lug 41 on the lever 17 and engages a cam 33 carried by the shaft. Lateral movement of the lever 17 is thus prevented until the bolt is opposite the recess 34, thus providing that in a high-speed machine the arm has to make at least one revolution while the lever 17 is being moved into operative position. When the bolt has entered the recess 34, it engages the bevelled edge of the end 35 of the cam 33, so that it is moved laterally to allow the continued rotation of the parts.
