Abstract: A sliding window assembly includes a fixed window panel and a sliding window panel that is movable along a guide rail relative to the fixed window panel between an open position and a closed position. A window frame is fixed to the sliding window panel and includes a first guide feature. A locking frame is coupled to the window frame and includes a second guide feature. The guide rail, in cooperation with the first and the second guide features, initially guides the sliding window panel to an offset position relative to the fixed window panel, and then guides the sliding window panel in a lateral direction to uncover an opening in the fixed window panel. A locking mechanism cooperates with the locking frame to selectively lock the sliding window panel to the guide rail.

Abstract: An anode assembly for a capacitor is described. The anode assembly comprises a first anode including a first conductive lead disposed in a first groove in a junction bar, a second anode including a second conductive lead disposed in a second groove in the junction bar, and an anode terminal lead disposed in a third groove in the junction bar. The capacitor including the anode assembly is further comprised of a cathode comprising a conductive substrate supporting a cathode active material facing the first and second anodes, and a separator positioned there between to prevent the first and second anodes and the cathode from contacting each other. The anode assembly, the cathode, and the separator are sealed inside of a casing, and the casing is filled with a working electrolyte.

Abstract: A capacitor assembly comprising a casing, an anode pack housed within the casing and comprising two or more anode pellets of anode active material electrically connected to each other by a bridge, and a cathode comprised of cathode current collectors including major faces with cathode active material provided thereupon is described. The bridge, which spans between sidewalls of the anode pellets, helps maintain them in a parallel alignment. The bridge is also a convenient location to connect the feedthrough wire that exits the casing through a glass-to-metal seal. The cathode current collectors are disposed between adjacent anode pellets and are electrically connected to each other and to the casing. A feedthrough wire electrically connected to the anode pack extends outside the casing in electrical isolation there from. An electrolyte is provided to activate the anode and the cathode.

Abstract: A capacitor a casing of first and second casing members, a feedthrough electrically insulated from the casing and extending there from, first and second anodes electrically connected to each other within the casing, a cathode, and an electrolyte is described. The first anode is electrically connected in parallel to the second anode by a first anode wire having opposite ends contacting the respective first and second anodes. A feedthrough wire extending outside the casing and electrically isolated there from is electrically connected to the first anode wire intermediate the first and second anodes. The cathode is disposed between the first and second anodes.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for integrated multimedia call control. A unified way to manage incoming calls is provided for users who have both a public switched telephone network (PSTN) telephone and a computer workstation with a multimedia data communications client such as a client specified in International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Standard H.323. Calls from a PSTN phone in the network can be routed either to the user's PSTN telephone or the audio handling portion of the user's multimedia data communications client software. The audio portion of calls from a multimedia data communication client in the network can be routed either to the user's PSTN telephone or to the audio portion of the user's multimedia data communication client. Users can thus control PSTN and multimedia internet telephony calls in a consistent manner.

Abstract: A marble sequestering skill game having transparent hollow vertical tube members attached to a base and to a nontransparent hollow tubular top member, and being filled with marbles, each marble having an identifying feature. The marbles can be moved from one vertical tube member to another through the tubular top member so that marbles can be sequestered by the identifying features into a selected vertical tube member by tilting and rotating the base.

Abstract: A circuit for correction of errors in a memory device comprises a data word byte counter 16, data encoders 18 and 20, a syndrome accumulator 22, a data word byte address generator 24, a comparator 26, a decoder 28 and an error correction enable buffer 30. The error correction circuit 4 is coupled to a memory array 2 through a pre-read input-output bus 14, and is further coupled to an input-output multiplexer buffer 6 which is coupled between the memory array 2 and a data bus 12.

Abstract: A swimming pool filter cleaning device including a cylindrical ring-like housing having an upper end, a lower end, an inner surface and an outer surface defining a central opening. The housing has a hollow interior. The housing is dimensioned for receiving a cylindrical pool filter within the central opening thereof. The housing has a water hose connector extending outwardly from the inner surface thereof. The water hose connector is in communication with the hollow interior. The water hose connector has an open outer end adapted for coupling with a standard water hose. A first set of spray nozzles are disposed within the upper end of the housing in a spaced relationship. The first set of spray nozzles are in communication with the hollow interior of the housing.

Abstract: A method of dual use of memory for the correction of errors, if any, in memory data comprises the steps of assigning data bytes to a first portion of each memory page and error correction bytes to a second portion of each memory page. In a non-error correction mode, both the first and second portions of each memory page may be allocated for the storage of data bytes.

Abstract: An error correction method for data bytes in a memory uses an error correcting block code such as a Hamming code to detect and correct errors, if any, in the data bytes. The error correction method can be performed by relatively simple and inexpensive logic circuitry while improving the speed of error correction to reduce delays in the external data access time.

Abstract: An integrated telecommunication collaboration system which allows the close integration of desktop computer applications, data communications, and public switched telephone network voice connections. Client software which implements the invention includes a voice agent for establishing telephone sessions, a data agent for establishing associated data sessions, a communications agent which synchronizes the date and voice agents, and an integration agent which integrates the data and voice communications with a computer operating system, and with various applications. The integrated telecommunication collaboration system controls the establishment of harmonized calls by sending and receiving various requests and status messages to and from a server, and another client.
