Abstract: A non-conductive rubber hose is provided exhibiting lower conductivity compared to conventional EPDM hose, and reduced stiffness compared to conventional non-conductive thermoplastic hose. The hose is useful for applications such as in hydraulics for boom trucks, and for coolant in plasma cutting tools.

Abstract: A hose is provided comprising a rubber backing layer directly bonded to a continuous polyamide layer without an intervening adhesive layer, wherein the hose exhibits increased low and high temperature capability and decreased permeation compared to standard automotive refrigerant hoses.

Abstract: A headwrap providing mounting a ponytail defined by a stretchable sleeve received over a wearer's head and down onto his or her neck, and able to be attached to the headwrap.

Abstract: A mitten is constructed of two fabric sleeves sewn together about the perimeter of respective outer ends, one sleeve drawn into the other to be coextensive and nested together, with a thumb hole on one side of the sleeves adjacent a respective outer end. Insertion of a wearer's hand into an inner sleeve allows the fingers of the wearer to protrude through an opening defined by the perimeter of the sleeve ends and the thumb to protrude out through the thumb opening. When the wearer inserts a hand between the outer and inner sleeves, the fingers and thumb are covered. The sleeves are constructed of fabric panels sewn together, and may be of contrasting color and/or textures, allowing different appearances to be created by reversing the mitten.

Abstract: A mitten hand covering which can be reconfigured from a closed end condition covering the fingers and thumb to a condition where the fingers and thumb may be protruded through openings to be exposed for improved dexterity. The hand covering is made from a sheet of material folded up and sewn along perimeter edges of an auxiliary section and subsection of a main section of a pattern formed by the sheet.

Abstract: An improved telephony system for calling card calls is provided. The system comprises a method and system for allowing preregistered names to be displayed on pager devices when a calling card call is placed to a pager. In the invention, a calling card account number is utilized to retrieve the pre-registered name to be displayed at the pager device. A speed paging option may also be provided. The invention is particularly apt for use in telephony systems having AIN-capable switching devices.

Abstract: An improved public telephone system for providing telephony service access. In particular, the improved public telephone provides for telephony service access responsive to the use of any of a plurality of types of smart cards, each of the plurality of types of smart cards corresponding with a different one of a plurality of financial institutions. Such enhanced access is provided through the utilization of a plurality of security access modules, each of the plurality of security access modules corresponding with a different one of the financial institutions.

Abstract: An improved, automated teller machine (ATM) for enhanced telephony access is provided. The ATM provides for conventional financial transactions with financial institutions as well as the purchase of prepaid calling cards for telephony services. In the latter regard, the improved ATM is operable to receive a prepaid calling card purchase transaction request input by a customer and to transmit a message to a transaction service network for authorization of such transaction. Pursuant to authorization, the ATM is operable to automatically initiate a call to a telephony network to establish a prepaid calling card account. In particular, the ATM is operable to call a predetermined station number corresponding with a prepaid calling card service provider. Such predetermined number may correspond with an AIN-capable switch that allows the ATM to interface with a service control point maintained by the prepaid calling card service provider within the telephony network.
