  • Patent number: 10945191
    Abstract: Techniques for connectivity using a geographic phone number are described. According to various implementations, techniques described herein enable various policies pertaining to the use of telephone numbers at different locations to be enforced. For instance, techniques described herein enable a client device that is outside of a permitted geographic area for a geographic phone number to use a non-geographic phone number to connect a call, while the call can be routed using the geographic phone number.

  • Patent number: 10674344
    Abstract: Techniques for emergency calling are described. In one or more implementations, data corresponding to an emergency call is received over a network from a communication client implemented al a client device. A registered location of the communication client and an updated location of the client device is obtained, and the updated location of the client device is compared to the registered location of the communication client. If the updated location is different than the registered location, the data of the emergency call is routed along with the updated location to a public-safety answering point.

  • Patent number: 10368225
    Abstract: Techniques for location determination for a service request are described. A service request, for instance, represents a request for emergency services. In one or more implementations, data corresponding to service request is received over a network from a communication client implemented at a client device. A registered location of the communication client and an updated location of the client device is obtained, and the updated location of the client device is compared to the registered location of the communication client. If the updated location is different than the registered location, the data of the service request is routed along with the updated location to an answering point.

  • Patent number: 5854460
    Abstract: A gantry assembly and appurtenances therefor for a linear motor driven laser cutting machine. The gantry box is made of honey comb construction characterized by high strength, light weigh, high stiffness to weight ratio and vibration absorption. The gantry box is supported at each of its ends on a linear motor driven carriage by a torsion plate. The torsion plates are exteriorly flanked by protective panels which support a light weight cover for the upper part of the gantry assembly. The beam end of the gantry box is additionally attached to its gantry carriage by a snubber pin-snubber bushing assembly and by a gantry pin-carriage pin-link assembly. These last two assemblies, together with the torsion plates and gantry carriages, limit or restrain certain movements of the gantry box. The laser cutting machine is controlled by a high performance multi-axis motion controller.

  • Patent number: 5377733
    Abstract: A card storage system for storing a sport or other collectible card in a pocket with a tool having a thin flat insertion panel including a width smaller than the opening of the pocket and longitudinally extending side edges and a front end generally transversely extending between the side edges. Longitudinally extending flanges having tapered forward ends extend upwards from a front side of the tool along corresponding ones of the side edges forming a channel between the flanges. A tapered edge, preferably having a narrowing width in the longitudinal direction, is provided at the front end of the insertion panel for spreading apart the opening of the pocket. A longitudinally extending flat extraction panel is connected to the insertion panel's back end and provided with a tapered edge at its front end which is itself of narrowing width for spreading apart the opening of the pocket to extract the card from the pocket.

  • Patent number: 5213816
    Abstract: A system for heating and feeding polymer coated powder to a heated die cavity of a compacting press. The system includes at least one heated vertical pipe for heating the polymer coated powder and for delivering the polymer coated powder by gravity from source thereof to the entry end of at least one horizontally oriented auger conveyor. The at least one auger conveyor is heated and imparts heat to the individual powder particles through a mixing action. The at least one auger conveyor delivers the polymer coated powder to the heated hopper of a shuttle assembly. The shuttle assembly is shiftable between a retracted position wherein the polymer coated powder is discharged from the shuttle hopper to a heated powder ring, to an extended position wherein the polymer coated powder is discharged from the powder ring to the heated die cavity of the compacting press. The system heats the individual particles of the polymer coated powder to a temperature just below the coagulation point thereof.
