Title: Voice messaging platform as intelligent peripheral
Inventor: BLACKBURN CONNIE
IPC: H04M3/533
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: A voice messaging platform utilizes resources from remote intelligent peripherals within the network system. The voice messaging platform preferab ly includes a voice mail module, an internal controller, and an internal storag e device. Preferably, the voice mail module allows the voice messaging platfor m to provide a full feature voice mail system for the users wherein the voice mail module is configured to store incoming messages, play stored messages, play outgoing messages, place outgoing calls, and the like. The internal controller preferably directs the voice messaging platform to detect differe nt types of resources available to the voice messaging platform from the remote  intelligent peripherals. Further, the internal controller also directs the voice messaging platform to find addresses corresponding to each of the remo te intelligent peripherals within the network system. Preferably, the internal storage device stores the type of resource available from the remote intelligent peripherals and their respective addresses. By locating and utilizing resources from remote intelligent peripherals, the voice messaging  platform is capable of incorporating additional features by merely introduci ng remote intelligent peripherals that provide functionality for these addition al features. The voice messaging platform does not need to be modified to introduce additional features for users. Preferably, additional features are  capable of being added to a service area without changing or modifying every  voice messaging platform within this service area. As a result, the voice messaging platform improves scalability within the network system.

Title: Deadbolt thumbturn assembly
Inventor: BEATTY CHRISTOPHER N
IPC: E05B55/00
Filed: 2002-02-08
Abstract: The deadbolt thumbturn assembly of the present invention includes a thumbturn including a thumbturn extension, which is inserted through a bushing collar and rose bearing, then secured with a retaining ring such that the thumbturn extension is able to rotate within the bushing collar. The threaded bushing collar is then inserted through the aperture of the deadbolt rose and secured with a retaining ring forming a deadbolt thumbturn assembly such that the threaded bushing collar is able to rotate with respect to the deadbolt rose. The thumbturn assembly is then attached to the inside housing of a single cylinder deadbolt lock by fastening the bushing collar to the threaded boss of the inside housing such that the extension of the deadbolt actuator is inserted into a receptacle of the thumbturn. This design of the thumbturn assembly allows for attachment to the inside housing while still allowing rotation of the thumbturn to extend or retract the deadbolt. The novel attachment design allows the thumbturn to be manufactured from forged materials, adds to the aesthetic appeal, provides concealment for mounting screws, and is easily installed.

Patent CA-2380286-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LUTGRING KEITH T
IPC: E21B21/00
Filed: 2000-04-26
Abstract: A housing (164) is attached to a tubular sub located within a tubing string suspended in an earth borehole, the con-nection being an angled ball channel (186) connected between the housing (164) and the tubular sub (84). A ball carrier (174) is provided within the interior of the housing (164) which can be moved in two opposite directions either using pneumatic or hydraulic pressure against one or two pistons (176, 188). The ball carrier (174) can have either two balls or three balls (167, 169, 170). The movement of the ball carrier by the applied pressure causes one of the pockets (167, 169, 171) holding the balls to be aligned with the ball channel which allows the balls to be successively dropped into the ball channel and thus into the interior of the tubing string.  Means are provided for ensuring that the balls are dropped in the proper sequence.

Title: Alarm system armed and disarmed by a deadbolt on a door
Inventor: SOLOWAY RICHARD
IPC: G08B13/22
Filed: 2002-04-25
Abstract: A security alarm system that may be selectively armed or disarmed when monitoring a protected premises is described which utilizes the position of a deadbolt to determine whether the security system should be armed or disarmed. The security system comprises (i) an entry door for permitting ingress to the protected premises from the outside of the entry door and egress from the protected premises from the inside of the entry door; (ii) a lock for selectively locking and unlocking the entry door; and (iii) a switch having a first state indicative of the lock being in a locked position and a second state indicative of the lock being in an unlocked position wherein, when the switch is in its first state, the security system is armed and, when the switch is in its second state, the security system is disarmed. Sensing means are also provided to determine if the lock was engaged from inside or outside the protected premises. In the case where the lock was engaged from outside the premises and no authorized individual remains inside, sensors inside the premises would become activated. Conversely, in the case where the lock was engaged from inside the premises or from outside the premises and an authorized individual remains inside, the inside sensors would remain deactivated. The disabling of an inadvertent (false) alarm is easily, yet securely, achieved by activating a first user-controlled disarming means and returning the lock to its unlocked position.

Title: Ingestible device for the release of substances at distinct locations in alimentary canal
Inventor: WILDING IAN ROBERT
IPC: A61J3/07
Filed: 2000-12-20
Abstract: The field of the invention is site-specific drug delivery capsules (SSDC's).  The disclosure relates to a closure member (14) for a substance reservoir (1 2) of an SSDC (10). The SSDC (10) includes a retainer that provides a non-linea r force resisting opening of the closure member (14). The non-linear force ensures that the closure member (14) unseals the reservoir (12) only when an  opening force exceeds a maximal value of the resisting force, thereby preventing premature or accidental emptying of the reservoir (12). The preferred means of providing the resistive force is a rolling, elastomeric o - ring (64) that additionally seals the closure member (14) into an aperture (13).
