Abstract: A telephone subscriber placing a telephone call through a telecommunications network (10) to a telephone line carrying an existing call may interrupt that call by entering an interrupt code to the network. Upon receipt of the code, the network verifies whether the interrupt code is valid by consulting a data base (21) that cross-references interrupt codes to corresponding lines. If the code is valid for the line carrying the existing call, the network then interrupts the existing call.

Abstract: A paste sector for applying paste in a predetermined pattern to an item being manufactured, such as to the open bottom portion of a partially formed bag in a bag making machine. The paste sector is molded from a substantially resilient non-metallic material, and includes an added-thickness bottom portion adapted to be directly fitted to a paste sector shaft. The paste sector is preferably injection molded from a rubber-like urethane material, and is provided with a Teflon coating having an affinity for the low viscosity paste employed in the fabrication of paper bags.
