US Patent:

41502590, Apr 17, 1979

Filed:

Oct 31, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/847216

Inventors:

Francis M. Fenton - Middletown NJ
James H. Van Ornum - Hazlet NJ
Tse L. Wang - Matawan NJ
Carl D. Weiss - Little Silver NJ

Assignee:

Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04M 356

US Classification:

179 18BC

Abstract:

A communication conferencing arrangement is disclosed which relies upon the use of a plus/minus (+/-) nonlocking button followed by the operation of a button associated with any other line appearing at the station. If the operated line button is associated with a currently active line that line will be removed from the conference. If, however, the operated button is associated with a nonactive line (held or idle) then that line will be added, in conference fashion, with the communication leads of the enabling station. Provision is made to allow any number of added connections up to a preset maximum number at any station.

Assignee:

Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04M 358

US Classification:

179 18BD

Abstract:

A communication system call transfer arrangement is disclosed which relies on the establishment of two system access buttons on every telephone served by the system. The system access buttons are operational to originate a call to any station in the system over any idle link. A call on either access line can be added to any other currently active line on the telephone set. The system access buttons at all the stations operate such that an incoming intercom call will terminate on eitherbutton, and calls can be originated from the station by using either button. For call transfer purposes the system access lines are arranged such that when the station passes a call via the access line to another station and then goes on-hook, the system access lines become idle and are available for use by the station even while the transferred call is in progress.

Carl Dennis Weiss - Little Silver NJ

Assignee:

Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04Q 364

US Classification:

179 99

Abstract:

There is disclosed a communication system arrangement whereby the efficiency with which pooled facilities are used can be increased by reducing the number of lines that are dedicated to the pool. This is accomplished by making available to the pool, on a priority basis, lines that have been installed for other purposes, such as, for example, conference lines and private two-way lines. The system is arranged such that dedicated pooled lines have a higher priority than other lines which are available to the pool on a decreasing priority basis. In addition, each pooled set of lines at each station is given a visual indication using the system available lamp to indicate whether an idle line remains in the pool. This arrangement allows each station user to determine, without unnecessary seizure attempts, whether or not an available line exists in the pool.

Appl. No.:

8/087639

Inventors:

Carl F. Weiss - West Palm Beach FL
David H. Hibner - Ashford CT

Assignee:

United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT

International Classification:

H02K 709

US Classification:

310 905

Abstract:

A magnetic bearing assembly is disclosed which provides for correction of shaft deflection, or "bowing", during rotation of the shaft. The assembly comprises two stator rings in spaced relation to each other, and each stator ring comprises a plurality of stator sections which are independently activated. When the shaft "bows", sensors detect the deflection and independently activate the various stator sections producing a force couple which acts on the rotor to produce a bending moment in the shaft which tends to counteract the "bowing".
