Abstract: A lock mechanism having a bolt movable between a thrown position and a retracted position, and a deadbolt assembly includes a sliding deadbolt configured to slide between a locked position in which the sliding deadbolt inhibits retraction of the bolt and an unlocked position. The sliding deadbolt includes a first anti-thrust cam configured to restrain the sliding deadbolt in the locked position, and a release driver arranged such that, when driven, the release driver releases the first anti-thrust cam from restraining the sliding deadbolt in the locked position and slides the deadbolt to the unlocked position.

Abstract: A system is described for providing a single telephone number for geographically dispersed telephony service subscribers. The system includes an automatic call distributor (ACD) coupled to receive incoming calls from a public switched telephone network (PSTN) and a plurality of gateways coupled between the ACD and the Internet. Each one of the gateways is assigned to service a defined group of subscribers. The ACD selectively interconnects an incoming telephone call from the PSTN to an appropriate one of the gateways based on at least a portion of a setup message field identifying a telephone number forwarding the incoming telephone call.
