Patent number: 9565029Abstract: The present invention relates to a point code emulation apparatus and method for dividing a Common Channel Signaling System No. 7 (or SS7) signaling network into two or more networks. The point code emulator is adapted to receive TCAP messages from two or more subnets and converts, for the messages crossing over the subnets, the information of the TCAP messages, including originating point code, destination point code, and transaction identifier, (and optionally, calling party number and called party number), and forwards to the other one of the two or more subnets. Correspondence among the two or more subnets may be provisioned by an authorized user of the system, may be learned automatically by the system based on ISUP message correspondences or previous TCAP transactions, or may be automatically discovered by the system broadcasting messages to nodes in the destined one of the two or more subnets.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2015Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: SONUS NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Normand Glaude, Charles Wesley-James, Christine Aubry, Pierre Laporte

Patent number: 5971491Abstract: A vehicle seat comprises a safety belt (24) having three anchoring points borne by the seat (10). The belt (24) has two straps--a diagonal strap (26) and a lap strap (28)--which are connected to the anchoring points. The diagonal strap (26) has an upper end (E1) and a lower end (E2) which is common to the lap strap (28). This upper end (E1) and this lower end (E2) are placed on opposite sides--left and right--of the seat, so that the diagonal strap (26) extends obliquely from top to bottom of the seat. The upper end (E1) and lower end (E2) of the diagonal strap (26) can be switched over between the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the seat. The seat (10) preferably comprises two upper belt turn fixtures--a left-hand one (40) and a right-hand one (42)--and the belt (24) has two catches (36,38) which are intended to be fastened into two buckles--a left-hand one (32) and a right-hand one (34)--borne by the seat.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1997Date of Patent: October 26, 1999Assignee: Ecia - Equipements et Composants Pour l'Industrie AutomobileInventors: Fran.cedilla.ois Fourrey, Pierre Laporte
