Title: Electromagnetic motor brake unit for rotary drain and sewer router
Inventor: SALECKER ROY
IPC: E03F9/00
Filed: 1993-02-19
Granted: 1997-09-30
Abstract: An apparatus for routing a passageway in a conduit  includes an elongate cable for direction into a conduit passageway.   A cable supply drum contains a supply of the cable and is rotatable about an axis, there being a length of the cable projecting to outwardly of the drum. A motor selectively imparts rotation to the drum about the axis.  The cable and drum are configured such that the projecting length of cable rotates about its length as an incident of the drum being rotated about its axis.  A brake is provided for stopping rotation of the drum and thereby rotation of the projecting length of cable so as to prevent torquing of the projecting length of cable as when the projecting  length of cable  is prevented  by  freely  rotating  by  an  obstruction encountered in a conduit passageway.

Title: Telecommunications network interface assembly
Inventor: JENSEN MICHAEL LIND
IPC: H01R4/24
Filed: 1993-05-11
Granted: 2004-06-15
Abstract: Modules integral with the body of the assembly (20) include one for drop wire connections (30), one for subscriber wire connections (34), one for an electronics interface (36), and one for a network interface device (37). Protective sealant material (19) within the assembly protects contacts from corrosion and other deterioration, and from shorting. Sealant plungers and a chamber containing a compressed gas impose compressive forces upon the sealant material. Shunt plugs associated with two of the modules permit signal transmission across the modules at desired times, and when removed eliminate the possibility of a subscriber being shocked or transmitting a spark when accessing subscriber components of the assembly. The main body and the modules of the assembly preferably are integrally connected and form a unitary sealed assembly.

Abstract: Novel fibre optic telephone loop networks are disclosed. In the networks, single mode fibre optics are used for feeder and distribution segments of the loop but multimode fibre optics are used for the drops. The use of the multimode fibre optics has permitted the use of less costly optoelectronic devices. Surface light emitting diodes are such economical but reliable parts. Fibre service terminals located near subscriber premises convert single mode operation to the multimode operation.  The networks are relatively easy to install and upgrade and are very economically competitive with other known FTTC and FTTH schemes. In a further embodiment, the fibre service terminals have microprocessor control to reroute signals via redundant single mode connections to central switching office in the event of a fault in single mode fibres.

Abstract: In a personal communication service (PCS) environment, where a call to a personal telephone number may be routed to a sequence of telephone numbers until the call is answered or abandoned, and where it is possible that the telephone number of the caller is one of the numbers in the sequence, the call to the personal telephone number is processed by a) determining if the automatic numbering identification (ANI), i.e., the telephone number, of the calling telephone is the same as a telephone number of the sequence, and, if so, b) skipping over that telephone number, i.e., the caller's telephone number, so that no attempt is made to complete a PCS call to the calling telephone.

Abstract: A moldable panel (10) having a predetermined shape for cushioning and protecting protrusions and areas including a flexible elastomeric thermoplastic honey comb panel (11) and a rigid thermoplastic plate (12). The honeycomb panel has a honeycomb core (14) formed of undulated strips (18, 20) of resilient thermoplastic material, thermal compression bonded together to form cell walls defining a plurality of contiguous regularly shaped cells. The core (14) has a first face formed by a first extremity of the cell walls and a second face formed by a second extremity of the cell walls. The core (14) is maintained in its expanded configuration so that it can be used to anisotropically flex to stabilize and spread the load experienced by a user of the moldable panel (10). The core (14) is bonded to a first surface of the rigid thermoplastic plate (12). The plate is heated to a first temperature which is sufficient to mold or form the plate into the desired shape, but insufficient to melt the bonds formed between the honeycomb panel and the plate, and the bonds between the strips of the honeycomb panel. The second face of the honeycomb panel is heated to a second temperature, lower than said first temperature, to relieve stresses built up in the panel as the plate is being molded.
