  • Patent number: 5455852
    Abstract: A Voice Messaging System (VMS) offers a voice store and forward service to a caller on an incomplete call. The caller records the voice message at a Message Delivery System (MDS) via an Intercept Processing Unit (IPU) during a recording session. Call related parameters are transferred from the IPU to the MDS utilizing a handshake protocol specific to the IPU. The VMS accommodates different types of IPUs having different call parameter transfer protocols. The system displays, on the administration terminal, protocol maintenance screens including a generic list of call parameters with fields for entering the order and field length of selected parameters so as to designate a protocol specification to the system. The fields also include information regarding the delimiters utilized to separate the parameters of a parameter string and to designate the end of a parameter string. The protocol specifications are stored in protocol tables keyed by CALLTYPE designating the type of IPU calling the MDS.

  • Patent number: 5047726
    Abstract: A third case or manner of obtaining the four critical frequencies useful in accurately measuring coupled-dual resonator crystals, wherein both ports of the crystal structure are monitored, rather than a single port in the previously known cases. Here the B port, for example, is monitored with the A-side open-circuited or with a capacitor in parallel with it, and the A port is monitored with the B-side short-circuited.

  • Patent number: 4477952
    Abstract: An improved crystal is provided with an aluminum baseplate, a nickel plating on the aluminum baseplate, and a silver plating on the nickel plating. The nickel is plated on the aluminum baseplate before the aluminum has oxidized to provide high yields of stable crystals.
