Abstract: A mount apparatus 1 for a flat panel display (FPD) comprises a number of interconnected components which include a set of wall brackets 2, 3, an electro-mechanical control system 4 and a FPD mounting system comprising a set of mounting arms 8, 9 arranged generally parallel with the wall brackets. A cross-arm 11 is provided for pivotal attachment to the lower one 9 of the mounting arms 9 and to a distal end of the lower wall bracket 3. The control system 4 is arranged to move the apparatus between a number of positions, including a parked position in which the FPD can be supported almost flush to a wall. Operation of said FPD to an ON state initiates movement of said mounting system away from the wall to permit ventilation. An intermediate position allows for cooling before the FPD is automatically returned to its parked position following an OFF or STANDBY command.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for routing traffic in a circuit switched network. A call between two nodes interconnected by a direct link is first offered to the direct route, and if that is blocked it is offered to a currently nominated two-link alternative route between the two nodes. If that route is busy, the call is lost, and a randomly chosen two-link route is assigned to be the new current nominated alternative route. The strategy is particularly effective because it is simple, available routes are quickly located and once one available route is found, that same route is used for rerouting further calls until it is full. Trunk reservation protection is applied on alternative routes.
