Appl. No.:

10/173910

Inventors:

Thomas W. Hanson - Englewood CO, US

International Classification:

F41A017/44

US Classification:

42 7011

Abstract:

A two-part chamber block for a handgun which does not interfere with the inspection, operation or field stripping of the weapon other than access to the chamber and barrel. In a first embodiment, two lengthwise segments can be offset, inserted into the barrel and then aligned and retained by a cable tie or similar to prevent their removal. In a second embodiment a cable tie, or similar, connects a chamber portion and a barrel end portion to effectively block the chamber and barrel. A third embodiment uses segments inserted from opposite ends of the barrel with opposing teeth which interlock to retained the segments. Optional locking collars, latches, and configurations increase the adaptability of the chamber block.

Abstract:

A system and method for filtering information from an electronic flight bag system (EFB) used on a mobile platform, for example, on an aircraft. In one embodiment the system makes use of an EFB having a display with a selection to enable a filter. When the filter is enabled, the user is presented with a plurality of options for limiting retrieved information to only specific types of information or data. This allows one, two or more layers of filtering to be implemented on the information that is searched and obtained from the EFB, and enables a limited subset of information to be obtained that is available for viewing on a display associated with the EFB. The system and method eliminates or significantly reduces the amount of non-relevant information that the crew members are required to review when attempting to obtain specific types of information from the EFB.

Appl. No.:

8/190805

Inventors:

Thomas C. Hanson - Boulder CO

Assignee:

AT&T Corp. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04M 348

US Classification:

379266

Abstract:

In response to a first party (19) being on hold a call that had been established between the first party and a second party (11), the second, holding, party is given an option, by an automated arrangement such as an adjunct processor (21) associated with the first party's local switching system (15), of either remaining on hold or being called back. If the holding party chooses to be called back, the held call is torn down. Later, when the first party attempts to take the call off hold, the automated arrangement instead causes a new call to be placed to the calling telephone number of the torn-down call and to be established between the parties to serve as a substitute for the torn-down call.

Appl. No.:

8/584416

Richard Paul Moleres - Louisville CO

Assignee:

AT&T Corp - Middletown NJ

International Classification:

H04Q 722

US Classification:

455426

Abstract:

In a cellular telephone system (FIG. 1), a pager (122) is associated with a cellular phone (121) that is normally kept turned off and thus not drawing power from its battery (513). When an incoming call for the cellular phone arrives at a cellular exchange (103) and the exchange determines that the cellular phone is not registered with a base station (107-109), a paging system (105) is caused to transmit an incoming-call-indicative paging signal to the pager. Receipt of this paging signal at the pager either causes the user of the pager and the cellular phone to turn on the cellular phone, or causes the pager to turn on the cellular phone automatically via associated circuitry (502, 515). Activation causes the cellular phone to register with a base station, whereupon the cellular exchange extends the incoming call to the cellular phone through that base station. If the incoming call is not answered, or when the incoming call is completed, the paging system is caused to transmit a second paging signal to the pager.

Appl. No.:

8/628205

Inventors:

Thomas C. Hanson - Boulder CO

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04M 164

US Classification:

379 89

Abstract:

Directory assistance (106) is used to train a voice-dialing system (107) as a part of normal voice-dialing activities, thereby avoiding the need for a separate training session. The voice-dialing system connects a caller to directory assistance when a voice-dialing attempt by the caller does not match any voice tags in the caller's voice-dialing directory (130) and the caller signals a desire to use directory assistance. The voice-dialing system monitors the call to directory assistance, and captures and stores the telephone number provided by directory assistance to the caller. After the directory assistance call is completed, the voice-dialing system asks the caller to repeat the voice tag for the telephone number, forms a data representation of the voice tag from multiple received instances of the voice tag, records the data representation of the voice tag along with the captured telephone number in the caller's voice-dialing directory, and at the caller's option initiates a call to the telephone number. As a result, future calls to this telephone number can be made via voice dialing, and without use of directory assistance.

Filed:

Jun 12, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/873624

Inventors:

Thomas William Hanson - Evergreen CO

International Classification:

B27M 100

US Classification:

144371

Abstract:

A jig for cutting a finger joint which eliminates the trial and error required to adjust the spacing between the key and the cutting blade. A key and an abutment are arranged on one side of the cutting blade. The key is connected to an alignment ledge on the opposite side of the cutting blade. The key, abutment, and alignment ledge can be aligned with the cutting blade so that the blade will trim all three when they pass over. When the cut is made, a gap is left which is the exact width of the blade. After the cut, the alignment ledge can be slide toward the abutment, closing the gap. The key, connected to the alignment ledge, moves a corresponding distance away from the blade. The key can then be fixed in position. A workpiece can then be placed flush against the trimmed face of the key and be cut, leaving a finger, between the key and the blade, which is the exact width of the adjacent kerf, formed by the blade.

International Classification:

H04Q 720
H04M 300

US Classification:

455445

Abstract:

Providing by a telecommunication switching system an automatic call distribution function using agents having wireless terminals by determining the location of the agents, determining the agents' skills, and routing calls to agents based on their physical location and the agents' skills. The telecommunication switching system determines the location of particular agents based on information obtained from wireless base stations. In addition, the telecommunication switching system transmits to the agent, who has been selected to help, the location where the agent is to go. This notification can be done utilizing a display on the wireless terminal or by using an audio message to the agent. Also, if an individual needing help goes off hook on a special wired telephone connected to the telecommunication switching system, the telecommunication switching system determines the location of the wired telephone and selects an agent who is then directed to the location of the wired telephone.
