  • Patent number: 7430283
    Abstract: A method and a system that will allow a hearing impaired person to access a TRS (Telecommunications Relay Service) center via an Internet terminal on the World Wide Web instead of using a TTY device on the telephone network. The present invention represents a modification or add-on to the methodology and systems currently employed by TRS centers throughout the country. Therefore, a TRS center will be able to handle operator assisted relayed telephone calls both using the present POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) and the World Wide Web. Additional equipment will be required for a center to implement the present invention, said equipment comprising a TRS Packet Server and a router connected to the internet. When a hearing impaired customer wishes to place a call, secured communication is first established over the internet with a Nationwide TRS Routing Server. The Nationwide Routing server then finds a TRS center to handle the call.

  • Patent number: 4282949
    Abstract: An independently suspended steering wheel has a hub lock for connecting and disconnecting the steering wheel to a variable length drive axle which includes a universal joint at each end. One hub lock part is connected to a wheel stub shaft journalled in the wheel hub. The other part of the hub lock is connected to a skirt portion of one universal joint which slides in a counterbore of the wheel hub. A spring plunger in the other universal joint normally biases the drive axle to an extended position where the hub lock is disengaged. The hub lock is engaged by a fluid motor incorporated in the wheel hub or an external selector which retracts the drive axle. A pneumatically controlled hydraulic pressure system operates the fluid motor.
