  • Selectively activated dual tone multi-frequency detector
    Patent number: 5459781
    Abstract: A technique for improved DTMF detection utilizes a speech detector, either alone or in combination with other information from a voice processing arrangement, to adjust the sensitivity of the DTMF detector. The DTMF detector is turned completely off when the voice processing application is in the record mode, and when speech is detected.

  • Electrical connector for nozzle
    Patent number: 5267592
    Abstract: An improved technique for providing electrical power to a fuel dispensing nozzle is disclosed. A plurality of conductive bands are installed around a cylindrical member, and conductive plungers and the fuel dispensing nozzle make contact with the conductive bands. As the fuel dispensing hose is twisted with respect to the nozzle, the conductive bands rotate but nonetheless remain in contact with the conductive plungers, thereby providing uninterrupted power to any desired electronics installed within the fuel dispensing nozzle.
