Abstract: Systems (10, 40), devices (12, 42) and methods for transporting mobile device message data, such as text messages, between a mobile device and a cordless telephone device. The systems include a cordless telephone base station having incorporated therein the ability to transport text messages from a connected or associated mobile device. The base station includes a message decoder that determines which portions of data received by the base station are message data. The message data can be displayed on the base station's cordless handset. Alternatively, the systems include a mobile device docking system that bridges the ability to receive text messages from a mobile device, such as a cellular telephone or other handheld mobile device, to a cordless telephone base station. The mobile device docking system is connected between the mobile device and the cordless telephone base station, e.g., via a wired connection or wirelessly, e.g., via a Bluetooth connection.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for positioning a plurality of cassettes within an automated printing plate handler. In a plate handler, a plurality of cassettes each contain a supply of printing plates for delivery to an automatic plate-recording device. The apparatus includes a separate support table for supporting each of the plurality of cassettes within the plate handler and an elevator device for moving each of the support tables along a vertical axis of the automated plate handler. The automated plate handler is configured to automatically position a selected cassette in a first position to facilitate removal of the cassette from the handler. The plate handler further includes a platform, which substantially forms an extension of the support table supporting the selected cassette in the first position. The platform provides a second position, at which the selected cassette is to be one of, loaded or unloaded.
