  • Patent number: 6674844
    Abstract: A telephone set of a telephone system is provided with an infrared interface. This infrared interface is able to communicate with an infrared port on a local computer. The computer is configured to send data to the infrared port, and receive data from the infrared port, in the same manner as if the computer was sending and receiving data over a telephone system. The telephone circuitry in the telephone system receives the infrared data and converts the infrared data into a format for transmitting across the telephone system.

  • Patent number: 6664668
    Abstract: The leading end of a wire to be wound fed from a coil winder is wound around one of commutator leg parts a prescribed number of turns and then wound around a corresponding salient pole. After that, it is similarly wound successively around other commutator leg parts and around other salient poles and, after it is wound around the same commutator leg part as the one around which the leading end of the wire was first wound, the wound wire is cut. Only the portions that will be wound around the commutator leg parts in synchronization with the feed of the wire to be wound from the coil winder are stripped of their insulating coat prior to being wound, and the wound portions of the commutator leg parts are welded.

  • Patent number: 6659437
    Abstract: A rubber bearing, preferably a simple rubber bearing, is provided with an essentially cylindrical inner part (1), a tubular outer sleeve (2) coaxially surrounding the inner part (1), as well as a pressure body, which is an elastomer (3). The elastomer (3) is arranged between the inner part (1) and the outer sleeve (2) and is connected to same by vulcanization. Two free grooves (4, 4′) extend, beginning from the axial ends of the bearing, into the interior of the bearing in the axial direction over a complete circle around the bearing axis (5). The axial distance of the free grooves (4, 4′) from the bearing axis (5) and/or whose width continuously changes cyclically, wherein there is a phase shift between the two free grooves (4, 4′) in terms of their course, which is determined by the change in the radial distance from the bearing axis (5) and/or the width and which course preferably follows the same cycle.
