US Patent:

7027575, Apr 11, 2006

Filed:

Aug 4, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/366896

Inventors:

Paul Norman Burgess - Wheaton IL, US

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04Q 7/38

US Classification:

37920101, 455406

Abstract:

Telephone numbers are omitted from a communications device () or line (), thereby inhibiting incoming calls. Outgoing calls are permitted on the line or communications device and are facilitated in part by an equipment identifier () used in a telecommunications network. A surrogate telephone number, which may already be assigned to a customer, is used for billing, caller identification and other functions. The equipment identifier is used for maintenance, administration and other functions associated with the communications device or line. A telephone number is temporarily made available to the communications device or line for a predetermined period of time upon request by a user. This advantageously reduces the number of telephone numbers required in a telecommunications network.

Assignee:

Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04L 12/66
H04M 11/00

US Classification:

370352, 370356, 370476, 379 9332

Abstract:

When receiving a telephone call, a telecommunications switch () analyzes the telephone call to determine if the telephone call includes a data transmission that complies with a predetermined data protocol. If the telephone call includes a data transmission that complies with a predetermined data protocol then a demodulator () demodulates the digital information signal contained in the data transmission. A data network interface () packetizes the digital information signal into a packet for transmission into a data network (). Similarly, the data network interface () receives packets from a data network (). The packets are converted into a data transmission for transfer over a telephone call to a device terminated by the telecommunications switch ().

International Classification:

F21V 17/00
F21S 6/00
F21V 31/00
F21V 17/16

Abstract:

A work light includes a beveled elastomeric gasket coupling a selectively removable lens to a housing containing a light source and a variable voltage transformer for connecting the light source to a power supply. The elastomeric gasket fits snugly to the work light housing and the lens, creating a waterproof and dust-proof seal around the housing and lens. The housing is provided with cooling fins to help dissipate heat generated by the work light.
