Abstract: A computer readable media, a method, and a system registering a third party application providing an available communication system between a local user and a remote user identity, storing information related to the available communication system in a first database, obtaining contact information for the remote user identity from the third party application, determining a communication type for the third party application, pairing the remote user identity with a contact, and updating a graphical representation of contact information.

Abstract: A process and system for flexibly switching connections of data packet flows between nodes of data processing system networks by dividing data packets into cells and logically linking these cells on multiple queues of linked pointer lists.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for hierarchical, centralized boundary-scan fault-testing of extended electronic circuits, including inter-board testing, within a unified, standard protocol. During this testing, each board is "viewable" from the central test control in the same way that it is viewable when standing alone, before being incorporated into an extended system. The preferred embodiment of the invention is based on IEEE Std 1149.1, and is to be used with integrated circuits compliant with that standard. Because of this, the IEEE Std 1149.1 test elements--including but not limited to extensive micro-code--prepared for the testing of the board individually can be incorporated into the system-wide testing. The invention makes use of a "parking" of integrated circuit test rings with any desired test vector in their boundary scan registers, so that they can subsequently be viewed from another board as part of inter-board fault testing.

Abstract: A coupling disc (i.e., the armature or rotor) of an electromagnetic coupling is made by using a punch and die to emboss a plurality of radially spaced rows of angularly spaced grooves in the non-working face of the disc and to cause a plurality of radially spaced rows of angularly spaced projections to be displaced from the working face of the disc. The working face then is machined to remove the projections and, as an incident thereto, circumferentially continuous grooves are formed in the working face in radial alignment with the grooves in the non-working face in order to leave thin webs which establish magnetic flux barriers. To establish even better flux barriers, angularly spaced slots of narrow radial width may be formed through the disc by piercing the disc from the working face thereof and breaking through the thin webs located between the sets of grooves.

Abstract: An apparatus for quick attachment to and detachment from a wheelchair and which is capable of raising, lowering and conveying the wheelchair and an occupant thereof, whereby such a person may be conveyed into or out of an enclosure without leaving the wheelchair. The apparatus includes a manually actuated switch which may be held and operated by the wheelchair occupant to control the up-and-down and linear movement of the wheelchair while attached to and supported by the apparatus.
