Abstract: An interconnecting assembly (100) for a rotor assembly of a dynamoelectric machine is provided. The interconnecting assembly may be part of an electrically conductive path generally extending from a radially inward section of the rotor assembly to a top winding of a stacked winding (128) located at a radially outward section of the rotor assembly. The interconnecting assembly may include a first connecting member (106) connected to a radial lead (104) at the inward section of the rotor assembly. This first connecting member is made up of multiple conductive leaves and includes a flexible bend (108) positioned to provide a resilient-connection relative to at least a radial direction. The interconnecting assembly may further include a second connecting member (124) mechanically connected to the first connecting member by way of the resilient connection. This second connecting member is electrically connected to the first connecting member and to the top winding.

Abstract: A compact keyboard for entry of alphanumeric data or other characters into a computerized system. A character formation key on the keyboard is formed by a plurality of bars which are capable of being activated for providing light. These bars are arranged in a mosaic pattern with several of the bars forming an outer box pattern and several of the bars extending inside of the box pattern. Light is emitted from each bar when such bar is in an activated lit condition. Each of the bars is switchable between an activated lit condition and an off condition, with the activated bars emitting light so as to display an alphanumeric character. The keyboard has a data entry mechanism for causing the displayed alphanumeric character to be entered into a computerized system.

Abstract: A telephone answering system for use in conjunction with a PBX/CENTREX system for answering incoming calls directed to any of the extension lines within the system. The telephone answering system includes an operator control station and a line detection system. The line detection system monitors the telephone lines within the PBX/CENTREX system. This detection system includes a plurality of ring/hook interfaces each of which is connected in parallel across one of the telephone lines in the PBX/CENTREX system being monitored. Each of the interfaces has a ring detector for detecting a ring signal on the associated telephone line for providing a ring count when there is an incoming call and a hook detector for detecting the on/off hook condition on the associated telephone line.

Abstract: A call screening system to be added onto and used with a PBX or Centrex telephone system having an attendant answering console. The call screening system enables incoming calls for various telephone extensions to be directed to another telephone extension in the system for screening such incoming calls. The call screening system includes a DTMF tone generator and a screening system. The DTMF tone generator is coupled to the attendant answering console for generating a first DTMF coded signal for enabling the attendant answering console to call a screening telephone extension within the telephone system and generating a second DTMF coded signal that provides an indication as to the particular telephone extension within the telephone system for the person that the incoming caller is calling. The screening system is coupled between a single tip/ring line from the PBX or Centrex and a tip/ring line to a screening telephone extension of a user screening incoming calls for other telephone extensions.

Abstract: The series connected interceptor is a control system for assisting in providing improved service operations for a PBX system. This control system is connected in series in a DID trunk between a TELCO central office and a PBX. By the nature of where it is connected and its function, the control system enables a telephone answering service to sense when an incoming DID call has rung on an extension for a predefined number of rings and to answer such call with the identity of the extension being called. The control system also can provide incoming DID call screening or call forwarding.
