  • Patent number: 6038228
    Abstract: A system (10) is provided for processing call information within a telecommunications network. The processing system includes a plurality of functional modules (34-54). Each functional module (34-54) can perform a corresponding function of call processing. A call sequencer module (32) is operable to communicate with each functional module (34-54). The call sequencer module (32) is operable to invoke a particular functional module (34-54) whenever the function of call processing corresponding to that functional module (34-54) is required to be performed.

  • Patent number: 4454563
    Abstract: In a wound capacitor, in combination: a capacitance roll including electrodes spaced by dielectric layers, the electrodes projecting separately to opposite ends of the roll; a pair of discs at the ends of the roll and shaped to conform with the ends of the roll, each disc having a first, roughened surface for intimately engaging the electrode at the end of the roll, and having a conductor extending generally axially away from a second surface thereof, each conductor having an offset spaced from the disc, and structure maintaining the discs in contact with the ends of the roll.
    Type: Grant
