Patent number: 7779533Abstract: A fabrication process produces markers for a magnetomechanical electronic article surveillance system. The marker includes a magnetomechanical element comprising one or more resonator strips of magnetostrictive amorphous metal alloy; a housing having a cavity sized and shaped to accommodate the resonator strips for free mechanical vibration therewithin; and a non-deactivatable bias magnet adapted to magnetically bias the magnetomechanical element. The process employs adaptive control of the cut length of the resonator strips, correction of the length being based on deviation of the actual marker resonant frequency from a preselected, target marker frequency. Use of adaptive, feedback control advantageously results in a much tighter distribution of actual resonant frequencies. Also provided is a web-fed press for continuously producing such markers with adaptive control of the resonator strip length.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2008Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Phenix Label Company, Inc.Inventors: Johannes Maxmillian Peter, Mark Thomas Hibshman, Mark Charles Volz, Raymond Dean Newton

Publication number: 20100135473Abstract: A system, method and corresponding software application installed on communication devices of the system for communicating a media-based call alert command from a calling-party device to a called-party device prior to establishing the voice call therebetween. The media-based call alert command preferably conveys media content that is played on the called-party device prior to (or concurrent with) the establishment of the voice call to alert the called-party of the call. Alternatively, the media-based call alert command need not convey the media content itself, but instead convey media identification information that identifies media content that is locally or remotely accessible by the called-party device for playback prior to (or concurrent with) the establishment of the voice call to alert the called-party of the call. Preferably, the communication of the media-based call alert command is realized as part of a service that is available to subscribers of the service.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2007Publication date: June 3, 2010Applicant: VENTURE LENDING & LEASING IV, INC AND VENTURE LEND & LEASING V.

Publication number: 20080131545Abstract: A multi-stage fabrication process produces markers for a magnetomechanical electronic article surveillance system. The marker includes a magnetomechanical element comprising one or more resonator strips of magnetostrictive amorphous metal alloy housing a cavity sized and shaped to accommodate the resonator strips for free mechanical vibration therewithin; and a bias magnet to magnetically bias the magnetomechanical element. A web of cavity stock is independently produced on a separate machine. The web of cavity stock is thereafter integrated with a feed of resonator strip to facilitate production of a magneto-mechanical marker element. The process employs adaptive control of the cut length of the resonator strips, correction of the length being based on the deviation of the actual marker resonant frequency from a preselected, target marker frequency. Use of adaptive, feedback control advantageously results in a much tighter distribution of actual resonant frequencies.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2008Publication date: June 5, 2008Inventors: Johannes Maxmillian Peter, Mark Thomas Hibshman, Mark Charles Volz, Raymond Dean Newton

Patent number: 4978194Abstract: A cable block for telecommunications cable includes first and second half shell members which together form a substantially cylindrical stepped longitudinal bore therethrough, portions of the bore being sealingly engaged against progressive stripped outer parts of a stripped part of the cable so as to sealingly engage against each intermediate layer thereof which could form a water channel between its adjacent cable layer. Metal pins are also provided which extend into the channel and electrically connect to a ground shield of the cable for dissipating electrical currents during current surges as can occur when lightening strikes. The cable block is useable for terminating an end of a cable of an intermediate section thereof at which access to the telecommunications conduction media is required without breaking the conduction media.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 1989Date of Patent: December 18, 1990Assignee: Raynet CorporationInventors: Dennis Allen, Donald Del Fava, Harold D.
