Appl. No.:

8/407171

Assignee:

AT&T - Holmdel NJ

International Classification:

H04M 700

US Classification:

379221

Abstract:

A telecommunication network may be arranged in accord with the invention so that a change in provisioning data occurring at one element of the network is automatically supplied to the other elements of the network, thereby eliminating the need of having a network administration facility to communicate manually the change to the other network elements. For example, if a local central office switch is rehomed from a first toll switch to a second toll switch, then the first and second toll switches form messages respectively characterizing the rehome and then send the messages to each of the other network toll switches so that the other toll switches may update their respective routing and trunking data relating to the rehomed switch. The network is also arranged to implement a rule-based, end-to-end routing scheme which automatically selects a routing path from multiple candidates based on (a) class-of-service parameters and (b) availability of network capacity. The automatic selection of a routing path thus replaces the provisioning of routing data in the toll switches, which data was priorly needed to select the appropriate routing path.

International Classification:

H04M 336
H04M 706

US Classification:

379221

Abstract:

An arrangement for routing calls from a source switch to a destination switch in a telecommunications network. If a direct trunk is available between the two switches, that trunk is used. Otherwise, the destination switch is queried to obtain availability data of trunks to that switch from intermediate switches of the network. This availability data is then compared with availability data of trunks from the source switch to the intermediate switches. A route is then selected using an intermediate switch having available trunks from the source switch and to the destination switch. If a route using lightly loaded trunk groups is available, that route is selected in preference to the use of a route using more heavily loaded trunk groups. Advantageously, routing is performed to dynamically optimize selection of a route based on the current state of the network.

Appl. No.:

15/918039

Inventors:

- Paramus NJ, US
Andrew Peck - Mahwah NJ, US

International Classification:

F21S 8/04

Abstract:

A bracket for attaching lights to a ceiling, such as a drop ceiling, is disclosed. The bracket has an L-shaped upper section, a connector, and an upside down U-shaped lower section, with serifs extending inward only. Adjacent to the connector is a space or portal adapted for receipt of a portion of the ceiling. Thus, the bracket sits both above and below the ceiling and can be placed on to the ceiling without need of additional tools. The bracket fits, for example, snugly around a grid used to support ceiling tiles, the bracket being between a ceiling tile and grid, with lights attached to a lower side of the bracket.

Inventors:

- Weston FL, US
Andrew Peck - Paramus NJ, US

International Classification:

F21S 8/02
F21V 23/02
F21V 17/10
F21S 4/20
F21V 15/01

Abstract:

Embodiments of the disclosed technology are directed to a light fixture and a method of assembly thereof. The light fixture is generally formed of two opposing side rails joined to two opposing caps. The fixture has two panels: an upper panel and a lower panel. The upper panel is formed of a generally flat, deflectable elongated section having a plurality of lights disposed on or in a surface thereof. The upper panel is deflected to form a substantially curvilinear panel, the edges of which are engaged into a slot on the side rails and/or the end caps. The lower panel is also generally flat and formed of a transparent or translucent material. The lower panel is disposed below the upper panel, such that the light projected from the lights on the upper panel projects through the lower panel.

Inventors:

Andrew Peck - Hohokus NJ, US

International Classification:

A47G001/06

US Classification:

040781000

Abstract:

A picture frame includes a substantially transparent support member adapted for supporting a picture such that one may view the picture through the support member. The support member includes a first side and a second side wherein the second side is opposite the first side. The picture frame further includes a first image formed along the first side of the support member and a second image formed along the second side of the support member. The second image is formed about an entire periphery of the second side of the support member so as to define a border shaped and dimensioned for positioning a picture therein for viewing from the opposite side of the support member. The picture frame further includes a picture support adjacent the second side of the support member in a manner permitting viewing of the picture through the support member.
