Abstract: A clip attaches an item, including a weight bearing item, to a strap worn by a person. The clip includes a body and a closure mechanism. The body has bottom and top portions connected by a hinge movable between a closed position, to capture the strap between, and an open position. At least one of the top and bottom surfaces has strap-engaging, non-slip structure to securely engage the strap captured therebetween. The closure mechanism includes closure structure at closure ends of the top and bottom portions and a stabilizer preventing relative movement of the closure ends generally parallel to the hinge axis when the clip is in the closed position. The clip can include a fastener supported by the body, the fastener being configured for attachment of the item to the clip.

Abstract: A method of introducing a feature during a communication between subscribers of a telecommunications network. The first step of the method is executing, at each predefined trigger point during the communication, an operation to activate a particular requested feature. The method then requires accessing data stored in a network memory for use in the activation operation. The data is arranged in the memory in table and bit map format so as to enable the features to be customized. The method then requires executing the particular requested feature upon activation. The method may also include repeating the method steps for each feature available to be activated at a respective trigger point in an order determined by the stored data. The method is independent of the type of requested feature.
