Abstract:

An IP telephony system allows users of the IP telephony system to register extension telephony devices with the IP telephony system. An extension telephony device is one that is provided with service by a separate telephony service provider. Once an extension telephony device is registered, a user can obtain communications services from the IP telephony system using the extension telephony device. A extension telephony device may be tied to a user's main telephony services account with the IP telephony system such that when the user obtains communications services from the IP telephony system using an extension telephony device, the user will be billed for those communications services through the user's main account.

Appl. No.:

7/661762

International Classification:

H04J 1408

US Classification:

359139

Abstract:

A network comprising a plurality of successively interconnected node stages where each node has an associated data connection state and includes a control element, significantly implemented as part of the node itself, for controlling the data connection state of at least one node of the following stage. The network is well suited for optical implementation and is controlled by shifting bits into the network for storage by the control elements rather than relying on spatial light modulators.

Assignee:

CPC International Inc. - Englewood Cliffs NY

International Classification:

A23L 124

US Classification:

426601

Abstract:

Mayonnaise and dressing products, including reduced-calorie low-fat mayonnaise and reduced-calorie, low-fat, spoonable or pourable dressing compositions, having as a preservative system glucono-delta-lactone and, optionally, acetic acid in sufficient quantity to lower the pH to about 3. 5 or less, preferably about 3. 3 or less. The compositions have an increased resistance to microbial spoilage and, therefore, extended shelf life compared with currently marketed products, yet do not have the sharp acidic "bite" common to currently available products.

International Classification:

H02H 322

US Classification:

361 59

Abstract:

A protection circuit for a DC power supply which protects the power supply nd its load against transient over voltages which may exist at the input to the power supply. The device also includes circuitry for protection of the power supply elements against short circuiting due to load failure. The circuit provides rapid and positive disconnect at the power supply input when a transient overvoltage is impressed, and an effective shut down of the entire power supply in the event of a short-circuit load. The device includes a transient voltage sensor network connected to a temperature stabilized powerload disconnect switch utilizing semi-conductive elements capable of extremely high switching speeds. The circuit switching is sufficiently fast such that the load operation and performance is not noticeably affected in the presence of fast transients impressed at the input to the power supply. Power dissipation in the device is confined to extremely fast turn on and turn off switching losses and saturation losses.

International Classification:

H04J 1400

US Classification:

359117

Abstract:

A network arrangement and control method where, before any transmission of data occurs for a particular communication, a network controller determines an unused path to provide a connection, advantageously all the way through the network from a given inlet to a given outlet. Once the identity of the unused path is known, the controller determines control information for use in activating that path and transmits that control information into the network, significantly via the network inlets. The network responds by activating the determined path and communication is enabled via the activated path, but only for the single connection and no buffering of information is required within the network. The network is particularly well suited for optical implementation and control is effected without the use of spatial light modulators but rather by means of control elements embedded within the network itself.

International Classification:

H04N 5232

US Classification:

348208

Abstract:

An image stabilization system for telescopic devices uses a method of selecting a suitable, stationary reference image. The user of the instrument views a circular image and a translucent ring concentric to and at an outer edge within the circular image. A translucent circle is superimposed within the width of the concentric ring so as to be able to move along the concentric ring to obtain a reference image. In order to select the reference image, the translucent circle travels, by viewer command, around the concentric ring until a suitable stationary image is observed within the translucent circle. Translation of the reference image within the concentric ring may be reactivated on command as many times as required to get an optimally stationary reference image. Image matching algorithms are then used to determine if the viewing area has moved by keying on and matching the vector movement of the reference image. This image stabilization system is particularly suited to hand-held binoculars or similar equipment.

Abstract:

A door security device includes a support bar, a first support member, a second support member, and an engagement portion. The first support member is provided on one end of the support bar and is adapted to abut against a surface of an associated door. The second support member is provided at another end of the support bar and is adapted to abut an associated structural surface. The engagement portion is secured to the support bar and is configured to releasably engage a door part of the associated door or an emergency entry device affixed to the associated door. The engagement portion applies a pulling force on the door part in a direction toward the support bar.
