Abstract: An access and test apparatus for subscriber and central office cable pairs connected to associated socket pairs in a main frame in which the apparatus includes a body member and pairs of connecting terminals extending from the body member for receipt in the socket pairs and first and second switch means in the body member for selectively interconnecting the connecting terminals and, therefore, sockets and cable pairs to first and second access terminals, as well as to selectively provide short circuit and open circuit conditions to the connecting terminals and, hence, sockets and cable pairs.
Abstract: An automatic telephone number identifier and method are provided wherein the seven digits of a telephone number developed in response to reentry of the number by a caller are validated by comparing the first three digits of the number to the NNX codes of the terminating central office of the trunk group carrying the call.
Abstract: An apparatus and method for recognizing destination addresses in information packets wherein a recognition that a destination address corresponds to a source address is made based upon a first match decision in which fragments of the destination address are compared with representations of corresponding fragments of source addresses and a second match decision in which fragments of a scrambled version of the destination address are compared with representations of corresponding fragments of similarly scrambled versions of the source addresses.
Abstract: A housing apparatus for storing a data storage device comprising a disk-shaped body having a cavity for receiving the storage device and configured to be stored in a storage facility adapted to store and receive magnetic tape-type reels.
Abstract: An information network for connecting input communication devices using a number of different access protocols to network hosts in which a packet switch is provided for enabling and disabling communication paths betweeen the input devices and hosts and in which an enhanced network function server is able to be used during operation of the packet switch by an enhanced network function access module which permits access to the enhanced function server for the different access protocols.
Abstract: An acceptable or desired plan for changing the links of a telephone network is developed by using knowledge based rules to generate an ideal plan which meets first constraints, such as demand and modernization constraints, and by modifying the ideal plan to meet one or more second constraints, such as overall cost, while deviating minimally from the ideal plan.
Abstract: A combined switch and filter comprising coupled first and second quarter-wave transmission line sections and switching elements for providing selective coupling and filtering between ports of the switch coupled to the ends of the quarter-wave sections.
Abstract: Apparatus for generating an MSK signal by using a dual modulus frequency divider which divides an incoming digital clock signal of frequency f.sub.0 by the factors n and (n+1) in dependence on the data type of the data to be transmitted and in which the frequency f.sub.0, the data rate f.sub.d and the factor n are such as to satisfy the relationship f.sub.d =f.sub.0 .multidot.2/(n(n+1)).
Abstract: A telephone system employing a centrex exchange having multi-station pick-up groups wherein a station controller means is situated between the exchange and the centrex telephone stations and provides lamp control of the secondary stations of the pick-up groups, and wherein the centrex exchange provides control of the call transfer from the primary stations of the pick-up groups to the respective secondary stations.
Abstract: A bracket for connecting an armored cord to a telephone housing in which the bracket is of unitary construction and comprises a bottom plate having a central portion with a laterally running slot adapted to receive the sheath of the armored cord and a top U-shaped plate overlying the central portion of the bottom plate and having a laterally running slot adapted to receive the flexible cable of the armored cord and to provide an abutment for the end termination of the cable.
Abstract: A pattern recognition system for recognizing an unknown pattern comprised of symbols which are part of a pattern system which is devoid of inherent context such as numbers. Artificial contextual information based on other than symbol features and the pattern system and in the form of probability weighted expected interpretations are stored and used in the processing phase of recognition. In the system disclosed, the system comprises a neural network whose forward and feedback paths are controlled by the output cells of the network based, in part, on the contextual information.
Abstract: A transfer pin (40) simultaneously transfers a die (10) to an adhesively ted, electrically conductive cup (23) while depositing adhesive on the upper surface of the die for subsequent bonding.
