Abstract: An appliance includes a plurality of electrical loads and a load control circuit including at least a clock enable circuit and a full power timer. The clock enable circuit is configured and operatively connected to activate the full power timer when all of the loads are energized, and the full power timer is configured and operatively connected to de-energize at least one load selected from the plurality of loads on reaching a predetermined full power time limit.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing incoming telephone calls includes structure and process steps whereby an incoming telephone calling signal having a data message associated therewith is received. The data message is processed to determine whether it is a first type of message or a second type of message. An alert signal is output only if the received data message is determined to be a first type of message. Preferably, the alert signal is a ring signal, and the first type of message is an ICLID message indicating the identification of the telephone call initiator or calling party. If the incoming signal is detected as an ICLID PRIVATE signal, the phone ringer will not be activated, an off-hook signal will be returned to the caller, and a display device will indicate that the received call is an ICLID PRIVATE phone call.
