Abstract: A socket organizer includes a planar member having a plurality of recessions to receive various sized tool elements, such as sockets. A portion of the planar member is magnetized to enable the device the ability to securely, but removably, retain each socket when placed into an individual recession. The planar member is rotatingly secured to a support stand. A mechanical connection between the planar member and support stand is provided with a series of detents to enable a user to rotate the planar member to a desired position for access to a particular socket held within the device.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for determining occurrence of an S1 modem identification sequence is disclosed. An S1 sequence is found to exist when the sum of conjugate complex multiplication of signal sample amplitudes taken at an interval T/2 result in a negative scalar value for an arbitrary number of sequential occurrences. Complex samples taken from incoming baseband waveform at twice the modulation rate are interleaved in pairs of two with two even numbered samples and two odd numbered samples being considered separately by first performing complex multiplication followed by scalar multiplication of an output of the complex multiplication and an output of the previous complex multiplication delayed by one modulation interval T. The separate results from the sets of pairs of signal samples are summed to form a scalar whose value when consistently less than 0 indicates the presence of an S1 modem identification sequence in accordance with the CCITT S1 recommendation.

Abstract: A dual tone multi-frequency receiver having an improved automatic level control is described. The level control is performed after the filtering operation instead of before the filtering operation as was done in previous designs. Separate channels are derived for each of the tone groups and are handled separately for automatic level control in feed forward responsive correction circuits. Improved responsiveness to twist distortion with a fast attack tracking and holding capability results.

Abstract: A ring joint machining tool for simultaneously machining the inner and outer surfaces of a V-groove, said tool having a rotating body member with a sliding tool block holding two tools and having cam means associated with said tool block whereby said tool block moves in a radial direction as the tool is rotated and urged into contact with a workpiece.
