  • Patent number: 6256489
    Abstract: The system of the invention passes wireless caller location information through the common channel signaling network (CCSN) to the PSAP such that the PSAP can provide enhanced emergency services. The caller location information such as the latitude and longitude of the wireless device or the cell and cell sector from which a call is made is encoded in the ISUP (ISDN User Part) of the call set up message over the CCSN. The public switched network routes the call based on the called party number (CDPN) parameter to the appropriate selective router and the selective router routes the call to the appropriate PSAP based on the caller location. The caller location information is transmitted over an ISDN interface to the PSAP. The PSAP can then access additional caller information based on the CDPN parameter to provide enhanced emergency services. Thus, the system of the invention allows enhanced 9-1-1 service to be provided in wireless systems while utilizing existing wireless infrastructure and protocols.

  • Patent number: 6195688
    Abstract: A computer system, program product, and method of communicating internetworking data over a master-slave communication link utilize a device driver in a workstation coupled to a multi-drop master-slave communication link to forward internetwork datagrams to the network interface of the workstation in a format defined by an internetworking protocol in response to receipt thereof of data segments transmitted over the master-slave communication link that are encapsulated in a header native to the multi-drop master-slave communication link. A host computer coupled to the workstation over the multi-drop master-slave communication link maps the hardware address of the workstation to a network address consistent with the internetworking protocol, and initiates a communication session with the workstation using this mapped network address so that the network interface of the workstation can recognize the network address as its assigned address.

  • Patent number: 6178695
    Abstract: A convertible window system having two window sashes, a weatherstripping, and a tilt pivot assembly. The window system can be readily switched between single-hung and double-hung configuration. The weatherstripping assembly, which is operatively connected to each of the two sashes, has a number of regions. Each of these regions has different attributes which determine the types of translations and rotations that can be performed on a sash with a predetermined force. In a preferred embodiment, an upper sash can be removed from a window frame by the application of a predetermined force on the top of the sash while the sash is within a predetermined range of the weatherstripping assembly without the need for withdrawing guide pins from the channel of the weatherstripping assembly.

  • Patent number: 5659480
    Abstract: A multiple axis machine includes a plurality of servo-motors that produce movement of a member in at least two axes. The servo-motors are controlled by a computer which runs a simulation of a line shaft power train for producing movement of the member. Specifically, characteristics of a line shaft for powering the machine are defined along with characteristics of a pair of mechanical linkages with dynamically variable kinematics that are driven by the line shaft to produce movement along the two axes. The computer simulates a virtual line shaft using the line shaft characteristics and produces an angular acceleration, an angular velocity and an angular position of the virtual line shaft. The computer also simulates a pair of virtual mechanical linkages with dynamically variable kinematics based upon the linkage characteristics, and based on the angular acceleration, angular velocity and angular position of the virtual line shaft.

  • Patent number: 4822237
    Abstract: Extended-reach lift apparatus for remote accessing of low-clearance areas is provided. The apparatus includes a vehicle whose frame supports a vertically pivotable telescoping boom which is elevatable by means of hydraulic rams. An extended tilt head is provided on the free end of the boom which includes parallel upper and lower link members of equal length. A work implement support having a discrete work implement tilting cylinder is attached to the remote ends of the upper and lower links of the tilt head. A hydraulic cylinder extending between the boom and the lower link of the tilt head provides separate tiltability of the tilt head while the design of the tilt head mechanically assures the maintenance of the attitude of the work implement without requiring additional hydraulic compensation during such tilting.

  • Patent number: 4600686
    Abstract: A mask which is resistant to a plasma etching treatment is formed by providing an etch resistant skin over a lithographically patterned radiation sensitive resist film present on a substrate. The etch resistant skin is formed by providing a layer of, for example, chromium on the patterned resist and on the exposed surface of the substrate, and then, baking so that the chromium reacts chemically with the resist to form the etch resistant skin around the patterned film. This method may be used for example to manufacture a photo mask using a chromium coated glass substrate, or during the manufacture of semiconductor devices on a semiconductor wafer substrate.

  • Patent number: 4538424
    Abstract: An air cooling unit for a vehicle having a source of energy, such as heat from crankcase oil or transmission oil or a source of electrical power, such as an alternator. The cooling unit is of the absorption type and includes a condenser in series with an evaporator, an absorber and a boiler. The cooling unit is provided with a refrigerant, such as ammonia, and an absorption fluid, such as water. Hydrogen gas can optionally be placed in the cooling unit to move between the evaporator and the absorber to reduce the partial pressure of the refrigerant. A return line in the form of a coil extends from the boiler to an inlet of the absorber to return the absorption fluid to the absorber after the absorption fluid has been separated by heat from the refrigerant gas in the boiler. All of the components of the cooling unit are sized, shaped and located so that the cooling unit provides a compact package capable of being fitted into a relatively small space.

  • Patent number: 4504574
    Abstract: A mask which is resistant to a plasma etching treatment is formed by lithographically patterning a radiation sensitive film present on a substrate. The etch resistance of the mask is enhanced by exposure to a carbon monoxide plasma which forms a region with an enhanced etch resistance over the surface of the patterned film. This method may be used, for example, to manufacture a photomask using a chromium coated glass substrate, or during the manufacture of semiconductor devices on a semiconductor wafer substrate.

  • Patent number: 4172324
    Abstract: A device for measuring the angle of inclination of a surface, particularly the flank angle of a piston ring having a trapezoidal cross section. The device includes a feeler assembly which can be brought into contact with the surface. The feeler assembly comprises a pivotally supported feeler head provided with a measuring edge adapted to lie on the surface to be measured and thus conform to the surface inclination. The device further has an arrangement to measure the pivot angle of the feeler head when the measuring edge lies along its entire length on the surface to be measured.
