Abstract: A telephone in which the mechanical tongue for placing the telephone in an on-hook or off-hook state is replaced by a reed switch located in or in close proximity to the cradle of the telephone. The magnet that is an integral part of the receiver on the telephone will activate the reed switch so as to terminate the connection of the telephone with the communication line when the receiver end of the handset is placed in the cradle. The reed switch may be encapsulated in a material and placed in a cavity in one side of the cradle or may be located in the front wall or a separate place in close proximity to the cradle. An electronic phone which does not have an integral magnet can be used to activate the reed switch by placing a magnet for that purpose in the receiver end of the handset.

Abstract: A regenerative braking system for a work machine includes a ground driven hydraulic pump coupled to a drive system, the ground driven hydraulic pump being configured to absorb shaft power from the drive system by converting the shaft power into a hydraulic flow, and the ground driven hydraulic pump also being configured to provide shaft power to the drive system by converting hydraulic flow into shaft power. The regenerative braking system also includes a hydraulic circuit fluidly coupling the ground driven hydraulic pump. The hydraulic circuit is configured to selectively receive and store energy from the drive system via the ground driven hydraulic pump; transmit the energy back to the drive system via the ground driven hydraulic pump; and direct hydraulic flow from the ground driven hydraulic pump to a hydraulic system of the work machine when an output of the main hydraulic pump drops below a desired level.
