Title: Technique for enhanced information assistance call routing
Inventor: HUEY CHRISTOPHER ALAN
IPC: H04M15/00
Filed: 2003-05-28
Abstract: In an information assistance service environment, after information assistance is provided to a caller, the caller may request to have the information assistance service provider complete the call. In the prior art, the call was routed back to the carrier switch from which the information assistance service provider received the call, and that carrier completed the call. In the invention, the information assistance service provider chooses how to route the call to the destination requested by the caller. A routing database including routes available to terminate the call is searched and the call is routed after considering a number of criteria such as availability of routing trunks, the LATA (local access and transport area) within which the destination phone number resides, pricing information, or a combination of these criteria. Routing may be accomplished using a local exchange carrier (LEC), an inter-exchange (or long-distance) carrier (IXC), an inter-machine transfer trunk (IMT), which connects two or more information assistance service centers, or a combination of these.

Abstract: An electrical wiring device designed to be attachable to a cable in the field includes a housing which receives a core. Electrical contact elements (male or female) are carried by the core. At the rear of the housing, in an extension which receives the cable. The extension includes a series of spaced, truncated walls are formed in opposing relation to similar truncated walls formed in the clamp member. When the clamp is assembled to the housing extension, each pair of opposing truncated walls defines a cable-receiving aperture which is sized to clamp to a given range of cable sizes for strain relief. By reversing the clamp, the clamp-receiving apertures clamp to a different range of cable sizes while providing strain relief for the connections. The clamp also secures the core to the housing in either position of attachment.

Patent CA-2445511-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TAYLOR DONNA MARIE
IPC: A61M5/315
Filed: 2002-05-08
Abstract: A medication injector apparatus such as an injection pen. The injection pen includes a resettable, cartridge plunger drive assembly including an axially floating nut, a cartridge plunger engaging screw, and a drive clutch movable with the nut and which when rotated causes the screw to screw through the nu t. When a cartridge assembly is mounted to the pen base, the floating nut and drive clutch are shifted proximally such that the drive clutch is in torque transmitting engagement with a rotatable drive member of the pen, such that rotation of that drive member results in drive screw advancement through the nut in the distal direction. When the cartridge assembly is not mounted to t he pen base, the floating nut and drive clutch are biased distally to disengage the drive clutch from torque transmitting engagement with the rotatable driv e member and to thereby allow the drive screw to be reset proximally through t he nut to a position more retracted within the pen base. The injection pen also may include an injection clicker assembly having a collar arranged coaxially on a drive sleeve and which oscillates axially on the drive sleeve that rotates during medication dispensing to provide an audible clicking sound th at indicates injecting use of the pen. The injection pen also may include a doseable quantity identifier that uses a rotational matrix and a sensor for electrically sensing the arrangement of the dose setting mechanism of the pe n, which identifier may be part of a therapeutic dose indicating system that utilizes a cartridge recognizer to recognize a concentration of medication s o as to allow an automatic determination of a therapeutic dose. The injection pen further may include an assembly for selectively rotating a drive sleeve of the pen, which assembly has a dial that rotates out during dose setting and which translates in without rotation during dose injecting.
