Abstract: A method and system of speech recognition presented by a back channel from multiple user sites within a network supporting cable television and/or video delivery is disclosed.

Abstract: A method and system of speech recognition presented by a back channel from multiple user sites within a network supporting cable television and/or video delivery is disclosed. The preferred embodiment of the invention comprises ans system and method of using a back channel containing a multiplicity of identified speech channels from a multiplicity of user sites presented to a speech processing system at a wireline node in a network that supports at least one of cable television delivery and video delivery.

Abstract: A method and system of speech recognition presented by a back channel from multiple user sites within a network supporting cable television and/or video delivery is disclosed.

Abstract: The invention is a method and device for providing a protective coating for the inside of pipes, said method utilizing a device which is remotely actuated from outside said pipes. Specifically, the device comprises a memory metal delivery means, a corrosion resistant liner means, and a bonding means, said device expanding upon application of heat toward the inner wall of the pipe to cause the bonding means to flow progressively between the liner means and the inside of the pipe to thereby preclude air entrapment and to bond said liner means to the inside of the pipe.

Abstract: A feature of this invention is the provision of a quick disconnect and connect mechanism for the transmission of torsional power between two concentric shafts including a collar, spring means which biases said collar to a first disposition whereat it holds at least one element in a position interlocking said two shafts, and cam means for converting torsional movement of said collar to axial movement of said collar against the bias of said spring means to translate said collar to a second disposition whereat said element is free to unlock said two shafts.

Abstract: A device for providing a protective coating for the inside of pipes, said device being remotely actuated from outside said pipes. Specifically, the device comprises a high modulus engineering plastic delivery means, a corrosion resistant liner means, and a bonding means, said device expanding upon application of heat toward the inner wall of the pipe to cause the bonding means to flow progressively between the liner means and the inside of the pipe to thereby preclude air entrapment and to bond said liner means to the inside of the pipe.

Abstract: A heat recoverable article comprising a recoverable portion and a fusible portion integrally formed so that on heating to recover the recoverable portion, the fusible portion can fuse. The article is especially suitable for encapsulating electrical connections.

Abstract: A method and device for providing a protective coating for the inside of pipes, said method utilizing a device which is remotely actuated from outside said pipes. Specifically, the device comprises a memory metal delivery member, a corrosion resistant liner member, and a bonding member, said device expanding upon application of heat toward the inner wall of the pipe to cause the bonding member to flow progressively between the liner member and the inside of the pipe to thereby preclude air entrapment and to bond said liner member to the inside of the pipe.

Abstract: .Iadd.Heat recoverable articles of manufacture made from organic polymeric compositions are described. The compositions comprise a mixture of a thermoplastic resin material, or other organic, normally solid heat-flowable material, in an elastomeric material. A heat recoverable article obtained from these compositions is elastomeric in both its heat-unstable and heat-stable states. .Iaddend.
