  • Patent number: 6065844
    Abstract: A display rerouting apparatus reroutes a displayed image from an image source in a display module for providing a redirected angular visibility for the displayed image. In an illustrative embodiment, the display rerouting apparatus includes a base panel having a rectangular opening or widow for positioning atop of a display module in communication equipment, a rear panel having a one-way reflective mirror positioned in a rectangular opening in this rear panel, and a front panel having a two-way reflective mirror positioned in a rectangular opening in this front panel. Both the rear and front panels are respectively hingeably attached at their lower edges to the rear and front edges of the base panel for facilitating the use of the rerouting apparatus on different types of communication. In operation, the image from the display module is projected through the base of the apparatus onto the two-way reflective mirror.

  • Patent number: 5896527
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for efficiently accessing data in a system in which changes of program releases must be accommodated. Data is accessed via one of two indirect data accessing tables. When a new release is introduced into a system, and the new release is activated, a switch is made to an indirect data accessing table which points to the data to be used by the new release. The previously active data accessing table is maintained in case it is necessary to switch back to the old release. After the new release has been accepted, the contents of the second indirect data accessing table are copied into the first indirect data accessing table, and the first indirect data accessing table becomes active. Advantageously, only the data blocks which include changes need to be initialized, and the process of accessing data remains highly efficient.
