Abstract: An integrated sound/telephone headset system is provided comprising a music source, a telephone, a headset having a microphone and earphones, and a control system. The control system receives music from the music source, a telephone ring signal from a telephone line, the telephone audio, and ambient sounds received by the microphone. A handset lift device is manually actuated by the user to select between a bypass mode and operational modes. When operating in the bypass mode, the phone is answered with its handset, and the headset is connected to a mixer with audio input from the music source, the ambient sounds, and a ring tone indicating a ring signal on the telephone line. When in the operational modes, a user initiates or answers a call by lowering the microphone, which switches the headset from the mixer to the telephone and connects the telephone to the telephone line.

Abstract: A multiple section card case for storing computer cards, such as PCMCIA cards. The multiple section card case includes a top piece, a bottom piece, and a plurality of intermediate pieces interchangeably coupled to each other. When coupled together, the top, bottom, and intermediate pieces form a plurality of card storage sections that may be independently accessed. Each case section may be opened or closed by rotating adjacent pieces forming the section away from or toward each other. Case sections may be removed or added by decoupling an intermediate piece and then adding or removing intermediate pieces.
