H04M 1/00

US Classification:

37940601, 455570

Abstract:

A speakerphone system includes first and second speakerphones connected via a network and a first processor in the first speakerphone and a second processor in the second speakerphone, each of the speakerphones having a first, active, mode for participating in a call with a telephone and a second, idle, mode, wherein, when the first speakerphone is operating in the first mode and the second speakerphone is operating in the second mode, the first speakerphone is adapted to send voice data packets to the second speakerphone, the second speakerphone is adapted to receive voice data packets from the first speakerphone, perform echo cancellation processing on the voice data packets and send the processed voice data packets back to the first speakerphone, and the first speakerphone is adapted to receive the processed voice data packets from the second speakerphone and use the processed voice data packets in the call.

Inventors:

Norman Nelson - Hollis NY, US

International Classification:

G06Q 99/00

US Classification:

705080000

Abstract:

A system and method for investigating and mediating construction claims is presented. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention a construction claim can be mediated by fully investigating the details and context of a construction claim; determining the actual causes for the lack of payment; determining the key parties and the available leverage that can be used to achieve resolution; and engaging the key parties and applying that leverage to reach settlement, where one or more of said investigating, determining, engaging and applying is effected via electronic telecommunications or with the assistance of a computer. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention a computer-based system can assist a construction claim mediation practitioner in his application of the methods of the present invention to actual cases. Such assistance can include, for example, providing a practitioner with an organized computer-based environment in which to manage his cases, and can, for example, include prompting the practitioner to acquire the necessary information to implement the methods of the present invention, analyzing the case based on built-in intelligence and providing proposed strategies, automatically generating needed letters and emails to send out as well as checklists to help a practitioner stay on top of each case being handled.

Norman E. Nelson - Roseville MN

Assignee:

Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

B29C 1702

US Classification:

264160

Abstract:

A method is described for forming a novel bowed shim for a cassette which includes impacting one surface of a sheet of polymeric material with particles until layer-like portions adjacent its surfaces are differentially expanded and the material is bowed, and then cutting the shim from the material.

Filed:

Nov 25, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/854601

Inventors:

Norman E. Nelson - Roseville MN

Assignee:

Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

B65H 1720

US Classification:

226181

Abstract:

A tape cartridge is formed with a rotatable tape transport roller having a cylindrical exterior surface and a central bore into which protrudes a node from each inner sidewall of the cartridge to serve as trunnion axes for supporting the roller therein. In a preferred embodiment, the trunnion axes have an inward slant away from the central bore of the roller so that axial movement of the roller will produce a canting thereof to compensate for misalignment between the cartridge and components of a record/reproduce player in which the cartridge may be inserted.

Assignee:

Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

B65H 7518

US Classification:

242 718

Abstract:

Recording tape reel having a plastic hub of I-beam construction and a pair of plastic flanges interconnected by an annular array of radially-elongated lugs through slots in the central web of the hub. Clearances permit the hub to be compressed under forces applied by a wound tape without substantially transmitting those forces to the flanges.

Assignee:

Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

B65H 7518

US Classification:

242 718

Abstract:

A weight assembly adapted for use with a polymeric reel to approximately match the moment of inertia of the polymeric reel to that of a similar metal reel. The weight assembly includes attachment assemblies adapted to enter apertures in a side wall of the reel, which attachment assemblies include pendulums automatically moved by gravity or centrifugal forces to releasably attach the weight assembly to the side wall of the reel.
