Abstract: A call processing system comprises first and second interfaces configured to selectively pass voice signals and data signals between caller and agent to enable communication. An attenuation means is configured to selectively attenuate voice and data signals passing from the first interface to the second interface to impede the agent from receiving voice and data signals from the caller. While a string of discrete data signals is received at the first interface, the system is configured to operate exclusively in each of: a first mode in which voice and data signals are permitted to pass from the first interface to the second interface to enable the agent to receive them from the caller; and a second mode in which the attenuation means attenuates voice and data signals passing from the first interface to the second interface to impede the agent from receiving them from the caller.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure can aggregate network flow data over various periods of time, and present a graphical representation of the network flow information based on the aggregated data instead of (or in addition to) the raw network flow data. Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure are able to present historical network flow data for relatively long periods of time without having to store large volumes of raw network flow data.

Abstract: A blank for making a case for a compact disc comprising a first surface and a second surface, said first surface being separated from the second surface by a first side wall, said first side wall being joined to the first surface and the second surface at first and second score lines respectively, said second surface having a second sidewall and a third sidewall, said second sidewall and said third sidewalls being on opposite sides of said second surface, said sidewalls being separated from said second surface by score lines, each of said second and third sidewalls having extending therefrom a wing separated from said sidewall by a score line, said wings having a first edge with a first length and a second edge with a second length and wherein said first length is greater than said second length, said first edge having extending therefrom a third edge and said second edge having extending therefrom an arcuate member, wherein one end of said arcuate member connects with one end of said first edge, said first s

Abstract: The invention is directed to a hinged container for packaging a variety of products. There is a base section having a plurality of side walls and a base. Hingedly attached to an upper surface of one sidewall is an upper section having a cross section similar to the cross section of the base section. An over lid is placed over the upper section. As the over lid is raised a portion of the interior of the over lid contacts at least one side wall of the upper section causing the upper section to open about the hinged connection with the base section.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improvements in color print guides for use in selecting colors. The tint guide of the present invention may be formed from a three dimensional model of the three primary colors that make up a section of a fan deck. The colors cyan, magenta and yellow (CMY) may be used. This combination of colors can display a full range of process colors. There may be three other similar models. One additional model can be cyan, magenta and black. A third can be cyan, yellow and black and the fourth can be magenta, yellow and black.

Abstract: The invention provides wound dressings, in particular wound dressings of low- or non-exuding wounds a bleeding wounds. The wound dressings are of the island type, having as adhesive-coated backing sheet (6) and an absorbent island (9) supported on the backing sheet. The island (9) comprises a layer (2) of liquid absorbent material enclosed in an envelope of textured perforated thermoplastic film. The film (3) at one side of the island (9) presents a ribbed or embossed perforated surface having low adherency to the wound. The film island an the rear surface of the envelope is perforated and smoothed to provide good attachment to the backing sheet (6) and controlled water vapor transmission rate. The invention also provides a method of manufacture of the wound dressings according to the invention, according to which the absorbent layer (2) is wrapped in a textured perforated thermoplastic film, and the film on the rear face of the envelope is then preferably smoothed by blowing hot air onto it.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved apparatus for carrying and/or storing paper and the like. The apparatus is typically a binder for paper and the like that has a first cover and a second cover. The covers are hingedly connected at one of their ends. On the second, or rear cover, usually in the vicinity of the hinged connection of the front and rear cover, there is typically a holding means such as a multi-ring or another type of mechanism for securing the papers and other items in the binder. At least one cover, usually the front, is made up of a material that is relatively flexible. Both covers are preferably provided with a score line extending from the top edge to the bottom edge at their ends opposite their connection. Extending from the score lines on each cover is an end portion that may be used to secure the covers together. The holding means is preferably a “D” shaped ring and one cover, usually the front, wraps itself around the curved segment of the “D”.

Abstract: A folding bag according including front and rear pliable rectangular faces, each face including a rigid base panel region. When the bag is in its first, closed position, the front and rear faces lie flat against each other. When the bag is in its second, open position, the base panels, which are hingeably attached to each other, open up to form part of the bottom of the bag, with the pliable portion of the faces remaining substantially parallel to each other, separated by the two base panels. The sides of the bag are provided by pliable right and left faces that are pleated and mounted to the front and rear faces and to the bottom the base panels are hinged in such a way that when the bag is in its first, closed position, the right and left faces are tucked between the front and rear faces such that the closed bag is a rectangle of substantially uniform thickness.
