Filed:

Sep 30, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/163312

Inventors:

Udaya Shankar - Danville CA
Andrew West - Leesburg VA
Douglas Shriver - Manassas VA
Fred R. Rednor - Arlington VA

Assignee:

Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H04L 1264

US Classification:

370352, 370354

Abstract:

Communicating voice over a packet-switching network is implemented on a telecommunications network that includes the packet-switching network, two coding units coupled to the packet-switching network and to an originating node and a terminating node, respectively, and at least one signaling apparatus. The first of the two coding units is configured to extract signaling data associated with the voice call and transmit the signaling data and its network address to the signaling apparatus. Signaling data for establishing the voice call is received by the signaling apparatus, and a network address of the first coding unit in the packet-switching network is obtained. The second coding unit is controlled to establish a bearer channel with the first coding unit for carrying the voice data through the packet-switching network, based on the network address.

Appl. No.:

12/949436

Inventors:

Andrew Palmer West - Los Angeles CA, US
Elizabeth Turner Dimster - Venice CA, US

International Classification:

B65D 33/06
B65D 30/06

US Classification:

383 6, 383117

Abstract:

A bag having a closable slot for removing debris and other particulate matter. In one aspect, the invention can be a bag comprising: a floor having a perimeter; a wall extending upward from the perimeter of the floor so as to form an internal cavity; a slot formed between a bottom edge of the wall and a portion of the perimeter of the floor; the floor comprising a flange extending from the portion of the perimeter of the floor that is adjustable between a closed position that closes the slot and an open position; a partition located within the internal cavity so as to separate the internal cavity into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, the partition having a plurality of apertures enabling particulate matter to pass from the upper chamber to the lower chamber; the slot forming a passageway from the lower chamber to outside of the bag.

Abstract:

The cost and size of an atomic magnetometer are reduced by attaching a vapor cell structure that has a vapor cell cavity to a base die that has a laser light source that outputs light to the vapor cell cavity, and attaching a photo detection die that has a photodiode to the vapor cell structure to detect light from the laser light source that passes through the vapor cell cavity.
