  • Publication number: 20080047840
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing oxygen and hydrogen that uses only simplified electronic functions is shown in FIG. 1 and is described herein. The apparatus includes a container holding a solution such as water and multiple, closely-spaced, flat-plate electrodes arranged sequentially within the container and submerged in the solution. A power supply provides a constant voltage signal to the even numbered electrodes, and the odd numbered electrodes are grounded. The number and size of the electrodes are determined by the size of the engine being regulated.

  • Publication number: 20050123117
    Abstract: Third-party call control functionality from a user's application platform makes use of existing feature logic and feature interactions within the telephony switch controlling the telephonic device being proxied. A PC coupled to a web-based server and a phone are provided at the user end. An interface includes a server. At the switch end, there is signaling proxy equipment such as a CSTA Manager and a local signaling manager. A call processing core is made up of a Call Engine that may include a 3rd Party Make Call Control (3PCC) API. Call services are provided through the switch, which may include a CSTA service as well as other services.
