Abstract: One method for making a laminate material comprising a first surface layer comprising resorcinol arylate polyester chain members and a second surface layer suitable for bonding to a substrate, comprises co-extruding a polymeric first surface layer material and a polymeric second surface layer material through a die and into the first nip of a calender roll stack comprising a first surface roll and a second surface roll that define the first nip, to form the laminate material. A nip load in the first nip of greater than or equal to about 400 N/cm can be applied to the laminate, and the laminate material can be collected from the roll stack. The first roll and the second roll can each have a surface smoothness of less than or equal to about 5 micrometers and temperatures of about 40° C. to about 150° C.

Abstract: A connector assembly is shown which includes a receptacle connector and a plug connector assembly. The plug connector assembly is comprised of a plug housing and upper and lower flanges. The plug connector housing is spring-loaded rotationally relative to the upper and lower flanges, and includes a stop feature to orient the plug connector to the upper and lower flanges. The plug connector can rotate relative to the flanges, but there is always a home position for the plug polarized position.

Abstract: An electrical connector (1) constructed to mate with a connector (1) of duplicate construction comprising: a front mating ring (3), multiple contacts (4) brushing respective concentric circuits (10) on a rotatable circuit board (9), said contacts (4) being connected to respective wires (16) of an electrical cable (17), a rear facing socket (28) receiving a front mating ring (3) of another, duplicate connector (1), and the front mating ring (3) and the rear facing socket (28) being connected electrically together.

Abstract: An electrostatic discharge contact (70) comprises a proximal portion (72), a distal portion (74), and substantially flat outside (76) and inside surfaces (78) extending therebetween. Retention dimples (80) are disposed in spaced-apart relation on the proximal portion (72) of the outside surface (76). The retention dimples (80) are adapted to engage a corresponding cavity (100) in an insulative connector housing (15). An arm (82) extends away from proximal portion (72) of the electrostatic discharge contact (70). The arm (82) includes a rounded distal end (86) that is adapted to electrically engage a portion of a board mount (130) that is already assembled to the electrical connector (10).

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly (1) comprises, a first electrical connector (2), electrical contacts (7) in the first electrical connector extending to a mating face (6) of the connector (2), alignment posts (12) and first ground contacts (10) along the alignment posts (12), both of which project beyond the mating face (6); and another, mating electrical connector (3) provided with post receiving cavities (11) with second ground contacts (10) in the cavities (11) engaging the first ground contacts (10) along the posts (12).

Abstract: An interactive transaction system is provided. A user interacts with the system by means of a telephone which delivers output signals from the user and receives input signals from the system. The telephone is interfaced to a communication network through a switching unit. An account is provided from which the amount of the transaction is debited. A transaction microprocessor is interfaced to receive the input signals from the telephone which identify the transaction, the amount of the transaction and the user's personal identification code. The transaction microprocessor then communicates with the account microprocessor to authorize and complete the transaction.

Abstract: A mass polling system with cut-through capabilities is provided. The mass polling system is of the type which includes circuitry for switching calls to a selected telephone number to at least one trunk and means for tabulating the number of calls to the selected telephone number. A recorded message is presented to the majority of the callers responding to the mass polling question. The mass polling system further includes a cut-through circuit which enables the poll sponsor to randomly talk to callers responding to the question presented.

Abstract: An electrical connector (2) for mounting on a circuit board (4) comprises a housing (8) wiht through passages (10) each receiving an electrical terminal (38) having a transverse lance (76) with a free end (78) lodged in a recess (28) in a side wall (16) of the housing (2). Each terminal (38) has a solder tail (66) for engaging a pad (6) on the board (4), and from which projects a solder tail (66) having a soldering portion (68) outside the housing (2), for soldering to the pad (6) and being flexible about a reduced cross-section part (98). The foot (62) and the tail (66) have sheared edges (94 and 96). Sheared edge (96) engages the pad (6) to provide for high terminal density. The terminals (38) are moved inwardly of their passages (10) against the resilient action of their lances (76) when the connector (2) is applied to the board (4), to urge the sheared edge (96) against the pads (6) while the tails (66) are soldered to the pads (6).

Preferred embodiments utilize gellular anion exchange resins to remove corrosion products from boiler condensate waters.

Abstract: A mass polling system is situated in a central office of a telephone system, and does not employ toll machines or trunk lines leading to toll machines. The mass polling system ensures that a charge record is generated before the beginning of a recorded announcement, during the period while the caller is receiving an audible ring signal. Preferably, the charge record is generated at the initiation of the audible ring signal. In this way billing errors due to early caller disconnect are reduced or eliminated. The mass polling system is responsive to a billing disable command which prevents the mass polling system from causing charge records to be generated when the mass polling system is out of service.
