Filed:

Dec 24, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/328830

Inventors:

Michael P. Henderson - Tustin CA
Sverrir Olafsson - Reykjavik, IS

Assignee:

Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. - Newport Beach CA

International Classification:

H04M 1100

US Classification:

379 9302, 379 9305, 379199, 37941303

Abstract:

A telephony services distribution system includes a voice/data server that receives and transmits telephony data in accordance with a suitable digital communication protocol. The voice/data server is associated with a customer premise that supports a number of enhanced telephony devices, which may include wired and/or wireless telephone devices, videophone devices, facsimile devices, or the like. The customer premise may also support any number of conventional POTS telephony instruments. The voice/data server and the enhanced telephony devices communicate signaling data therebetween via a signaling technique such as the V. 21 modem protocol. The signaling information conveys data associated with the status of the enhanced telephony devices, calling party and called party identification, characteristics of the incoming and outgoing calls, and/or data related to any number of operating parameters and characteristics of the system. The telephony services distribution system enables a single twisted pair to support calls associated with a plurality of telephone numbers and a plurality of enhanced telephony instruments to receive calls associated with different telephone numbers. The system is capable of regulating, monitoring, and controlling communications in response to a called party identification or a calling party identification.

A63B021/045

US Classification:

482/127000, 482/147000, 482/130000

Abstract:

An exercise apparatus including a platform, attached to a resilient member, which can rotate, twist, and tilt in every angle while also providing a resistance force to all degrees of movement. The resilient member is also attached to a base, such that strength, agility and balance can be trained while also providing a cardiovascular workout. The platform may be modified by the addition of an elastomeric material over its surface to provide additional traction or padding. The platform may also have notches placed around its perimeter, through which resistance tubing or rope may be placed, such that upper body resistance motion may be integrated into the exercise apparatus. Furthermore, support members may be disposed under both the platform and base for additional support and rigidity. The base may also be in the form of legs extending out from a central portion. The resilient member may have a groove around its center, about which a collar may be attached, in order to modify the level of resistance provided by the apparatus.

Appl. No.:

8/569722

Inventors:

Richard F. Jones - Winnetka IL
Michael Henderson - Indianapolis IN

Assignee:

MediCor Corporation - Wheeling IL

International Classification:

H01H 3102
G01H 2700

US Classification:

324559

Abstract:

A testing device for detecting defects in insulation of electrosurgical instruments that includes an implement or wand having a distal end, an electrode for generating a spark adapted to detect a defect in the insulation, and mounting means for removably mounting the electrode to the distal end of the implement. The removable mounting means includes a shank that is received in a socket or bore defined in the distal end of the wand and is engageable with the wand within the socket so the shank can easily be removed from the socket after use. The wand is releasably engageable with the housing by a flexible bracket that extends from the housing. The device may include a pad having a reflective top surface with ridges upon which the surgical instrument to be tested is placed.

US Classification:

705 742

Abstract:

A system is provided for use by managers, employees, and customers to analyze the experience of customers involving the purchase of products/services at a facility to determine individual employee performance, team performance, and corporate performance. The system includes a database populated with facility information, employee information, product information, and transactional information. A processor is connected to the database to access sales information regarding the products/services sold, product information identifying products/services available for purchase, customer feedback information regarding commercial transactions, employee information regarding the identity and performance of each employee over a period of time, and facility information regarding an identity of the facility and customer satisfaction toward the facility. The processor executes computer-executable instructions for presenting to a unit level or corporate manager an integrated interactive display that provides a facility performance interface, an employee evaluation interface, a customer management interface, and a priority list interface.
