Inventor: COOK JOHN WOLSEY
IPC: H04M19/08
Filed: 2004-09-08
Abstract: A system for and a method of providing a telephony service is disclosed.  Supplying power to a node in a telecommunications network from a subscriber's premises conflicts with the plain old telephone service POTS. Until the advent of the present invention it was thought that supplying power in this way required either an additional electrical transmission wire or providing voice support within a digital subscriber line (DSL) service. In the proposed system telephony control signals, as supplied by an exchange (103) on to a first section (107) of an electrical transmission line, are converted into modified downstream control signals having a different frequency to electrical power, which is supplied onto a second section (109) of the electrical transmission line, and electrical equipment in a node that interconnects the first and second sections can draw electrical power supplied by the power supply without affecting the operation of a telephone (101).

IPC: B27F1/16
Filed: 2006-07-21
Abstract: An extended length graded lumber fabrication system features a number of fabrication stages along a substantially continuous fabrication path providing high through put fabrication of graded lumber of extended length from low quality raw lumber. The fabrication stages include reject recognition stages, a supply lumber grading stage, a finger jointing stage and a final grading stage for the extended length lumber. The fabrication system is configured in conjunction with the particularities of low quality raw lumber to minimize grade fluctuations, increase grade bandwidth and minimize raw lumber waste during fabrication of extended length graded lumber, which may be used in wooden truss joists. The use of low quality raw lumber cut from small diameter tree trunks is environmentally beneficial.  It contributes to preserve old growth and to use lighter and environmentally less invasive timber harvesting machinery and techniques.

Title: Method of signaling reverse channel information with minimal voice/data delay
Inventor: BIGGS ROBERT A
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2005-02-22
Abstract: In a time division multiple access system, a subscriber listens to an assigned channel (300) and an alternate channel (302) until a location of reverse channel signaling is determined for the assigned channel. The subscriber also obtains a fixed periodic rate (304) for the reverse channel signaling. Based on the fixed periodic rate, the subscriber selectively listens to the alternate channel to receive reverse channel signaling while transmitting information on the assigned channel. The base repeater, however, selects the fixed periodic rate for reverse channel signaling and transmits the reverse channel signaling at the fixed periodic rate to the transmitting subscriber.  If the base repeater receives a burst belonging to a superframe and determines that any burst in the superframe will collide with the reverse channel signaling, the base repeater buffers any received burst in the superframe and transmits the buffered bursts at a subsequent time.
