Appl. No.:

09/894051

Inventors:

Joe W. Duran - Austin TX
Michael Vayden Jenkins - Austin TX
William Todd Clayton - Austin TX

Assignee:

Forgent Networks, Inc. - Austin TX

International Classification:

H04M 1100

US Classification:

379 9321, 37920201, 348 1408

Abstract:

A teleconferencing system with capability to store incoming multiple medium messages for later retrieval and playback is disclosed. The system includes a communications multiplexer which, in normal mode, receives the incoming message and routes the message to various output functions, including video, audio, and computer display. In store mode, the communications multiplexer receives the incoming message and communicates it to disk storage, for example by way of direct memory access. During playback, the communications multiplexer receives data from the disk storage, and controls its communication to the various output functions, in the same manner as during receipt of a normal incoming message during an interactive teleconference. As a result, multiple medium messages may be stored for later retrieval, with the playback appearing in the same manner as a conventional teleconference message.

Appl. No.:

6/222703

Inventors:

Joe Duran - Carson CA

International Classification:

E05C 1918

US Classification:

292292

Abstract:

A door knob latch apparatus is disclosed herein for releasably securing a door in its closed or shut position which includes a rigid base member having a lateral tang adapted to be inserted through the bolt opening in a strike plate mounted on a door jamb. The base member includes a vertical slot opening along the top edge of the base member for slidably receiving a corresponding open-ended slot provided in a door knob latch plate so that the latch plate extends normal to the longitudinal axis of the base member. The latch plate further includes a semi-circular cut-out formed in its end opposite to its end carrying the open slot which is adapted to be placed over the door knob installation in the door itself. Therefore, when the bolt is introduced through the strike plate opening into the bolt recess in the jamb, the base member is held rigid by virtue of the tang and the latch plate is rigid by engagement with both the base member and door knob per se.
