US Classification:

370238, 370252, 370401, 370463, 370465, 709241

Abstract:

A communications switching system employing multi-protocol routing optimization which utilizes predetermined and measured parameters in accordance with a set of user priorities in determining the selection of a communications path to be utilized for transmitting a data file to a remote destination. The switching system has a first memory for storing the data file to be transferred, a second memory for storing predetermined parameters such as cost data associated with each of the communications paths, a third memory for storing a set of user priorities regarding the transmission of data files, and means for measuring the value of variable parameters such as file transfer speed associated with each of the communications paths. Processor means are operatively associated with the second and third memories and the variable parameter measuring means for determining which of the plurality of communications paths should be utilized for transferring the data file in accordance with the set of user priorities, the predetermined communications path parameters, and the measured variable parameters. The switching system further comprises input means for allowing a user to change the user priorities in the third memory prior to transmitting a file.

Appl. No.:

7/568991

Inventors:

William C. McCarthy - Wilton Manors FL

International Classification:

B65G 5900

US Classification:

221312A

Abstract:

A safety blade magazine for storing, transporting and dispensing individually a large number of single edge safety blades. The magazine is essentially an elongated rectangular box having an opening or slot at the base of one wall and a thumb shaped recess along the bottom wall for dispensing a single blade at a time out of the slot in the bottom of the box. The magazine also includes an elongated spindle centrally disposed from its top to within one blade width of the dispensing slot in length, the spindle capable of holding one hundred razor blades through the blade apertures in the center of the single edge blades. A small magnet is disposed on the outside wall just above the dispensing slot which acts to stabilize the blades in the magazine and also to assist in dispensing whenever the thumb actuated recess to manually dispense the blades is utilized. Finally the magnet serves to temporarily hold a blade that has already been dispensed. The safety blades are installed in the box at the factory on the spindle and the spindle top wall and a side wall are then joined to the remainder of the box which is then taped in a closed position.
