Abstract: A gasket for a bathroom fixture comprises a continuous, unitary ring composed of an elastomeric material having a generally U-shaped cross section defining a continuous groove with a width that corresponds to the thickness of the lower rim of the fixture. The article has an unstretched state, wherein the groove is smaller than the centerline of the fixture rim, and a stretched state, wherein the rim of the fixture is received by the groove, such that the gasket is positioned between the bottom surface of the rim and a floor surface when the fixture is installed. The continuous groove of the gasket may be configured to receive the lower rim of a toilet or a pedestal sink. The elastomeric material may a natural or synthetic rubber, in any color including white or clear. The gasket may include a battery operated controller and spaced apart lights.

Abstract: Communication address identification information is obtained. A communication address number is collected from a customer at a telecommunications apparatus in response to a trigger being initiated at a switch and a connection being established between the switch and the telecommunications apparatus. Communication address identification information is obtained from a memory in response to collecting the communication address number from the customer. The communication address identification information is returned to the customer when communication address identification information corresponding to the communication address number is available at the memory.

Abstract: A method of obtaining subscriber identification information using a subscriber number input by a customer calling a subscriber identification information service is provided. A switch recognizes a shortened telephone number provided by the customer and connects the customer to a peripheral network system. The customer provides the unrecognized subscriber number and the number is used to search a memory for corresponding subscriber identification information. If the information is available for the customer, the information is forwarded to the customer. If the information is unavailable for the customer, the customer is informed that the information is unavailable.
