Title: Improved method and apparatus for customer account servicing
Inventor: SZLAM ALEKSANDER
IPC: H04M3/51
Filed: 1989-12-20
Granted: 1992-07-16
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for retrofitting and extending or upgrading an existing customer account servicing system to provide for automated handling and processing of both incoming and outgoing calls. A mainframe computer or host (16) contains customer or potential customer account records. A plurality of operator terminals (12) allow the operators to converse with the called or calling party and make changes to the customer account information via a data terminal (12a4). A system controller (11), trunk interface unit (10), operator terminals (12) and cross-point switch or PBX (13) provide a retrofit to an existing system, a mainframe computer (16), to provide for automated handling and processing of both incoming and outgoing calls. The system controller (11) and terminals (12) use the same command and data format structure as that already in use by the existing system and software or programs of mainframe (16). The system controller (11) is transparent to the operation of the mainframe (16) and the operator terminsla (12) and allows the system to be upgraded without the necessity of purchasing different software or programs for the mainframe (16). This invention is useful with both new and previously existing operator terminals (12). The system controller (11) monitors and handles both incoming and outgoing calls via the trunk interface units (10) and, when appropriate, causes the cross-point switch or PBX (13) to connect a selected trunk line (T) with an appropriate available operator terminal (12) and causes the customer account record to be displayed on the screen of the operator terminal.

Title: Measuring a gap between a tube and a float
Inventor: MERSCH STEVEN H
IPC: G01B11/14
Filed: 1990-06-25
Granted: 1992-05-07
Abstract: An apparatus or method determines the gap (11) between an assembly (12) of a tube (13) and a cylindrical float (14) located substantially concentric to the tube. An elliptically polarized light beam (A) at the wavelength for which the materials of the tube and the gap are transparent or translucent is along an optical axis (C). The index of refraction of the tube and float materials are greater than the index of refraction of the gap material. Means translates and rotates the assembly along and about its longitudinal axis (F) producing an illumination (B). A light filtering means (21) along the optical axis beyond the assembly blocks light of the illumination (B) reflected by the assembly and refracted by the tube (13), the gap (11) between the tube, and the float (14) and the float and transmits light of the illumination (B) refracted by the tube and the gap between tube and float. Light detection means (15) receives transmitted light and signals a signal processing means (16). The method has steps of transmitting the monochromatic beam of elliptically polarized light along the optical axis to the assembly, focusing the beam of light, translating and rotating the assembly through the light, producing an illumination, filtering the illumination by blocking illumination reflected by the assembly and refracted by the float, the tube and the gap between the tube and the float and transmitting the illumination refracted by the tube and the gap between the tube and the float.

Title: Preparation of aluminium phosphate and its use as molecular sieve and catalyst
Inventor: WILSON STEPHEN THOMAS
IPC: B01J27/16
Filed: 1981-07-06
Granted: 1985-09-19
Abstract: A novel family of crystalline, microporous aluminophosphate compositions is synthesized by hydrothermal crystallization at elevated temperatures of aluminophosphate gels containing a molecular structure-forming template. The family comprises a number of distinct species, each with a unique crystal structure. Calcination removes volatile extraneous matter from the intracrystalline void space and yields microporous crystalline adsorbents with uniform pores, the dimensions of which vary, among the individual species, from about 3A to 10A in diameter. The compositions represent a new class of adsorbents of the molecular sieve type, and also exhibit properties somewhat analogous to zeolitic molecular sieves which render them useful as catalysts or catalyst bases in chemical reactions such as hydrocarbon conversions.

Title: Anti-locking controller for vehicle brakes - with additional re-application delay to compensate for variations in road surface
IPC: B60T8/1761
Filed: 1971-07-21
Abstract: The object of the additional circuit applied to a controller for preventing wheel lock during braking in road vehicles is to compensate for a deterioration in road surface during brake application. It is achieved by incorporating a second timer in the friction coefficient matching circuit forming part of the logic for the braking controls. The logic comprises circuits responsive to brake pressure reduction (83) and increase (84), and a circuit (85) for matching the friction coefficient between wheel and road to the braking system. The matching circuit comprises two time delays (98,101). At the end of the first delay (98) the second (101) is activated. During this second period a further reduction in brake pressure can be ordered if the deterioration in road surface requires it. With the proposed additional circuit shorter total braking distances are claimed on roads with irregular surface. (DS).

Title: Equipment placing parts cut off continuously from running band - has periodically nonuniform drive for speeding up and slowing down transferred parts to object
IPC: B65C9/18
Filed: 1972-04-08
Abstract: Equipment for placing labels or foil sections produced from a continuously running band on objects such as bottles includes a feeding equipment for the continuously delivered band and a cutting equipment. At each side of a track for moving the objects is projecting a conveying device which together are holding and transporting the cut off labels or foil sections at right angle to direction of movement of the objects until they are taken along with the objects. The cutting equipment is provided with a perforating tool for the band. The conveying devices are driven by a periodically non-uniform drive in such a way that each cut -off part of the band is accelerated in relation to the band speed and thereby separated from the band along a weakness line produced by the perforating tool. Subsequently, the cut-off parts are decelerated for transferring them on the objects.
