Abstract: A computer program and method are disclosed for matching a potential positionee and potential positionor. The potential positionee is provided with a positionee information entry interface for entering positionee information comprising the potential positionee's actual qualifications. The positionee information is stored in a database. Matching is accomplished by providing the potential positionor with a positionor information entry interface for electronically entering positionor information comprising at least one target qualification for a position, the positionor information being stored in the database. Matching is based on determining whether the positionee information correlates with the positionor information. A correlated information list is created. The correlated information is presented for review. Code sections of the computer program preferably accomplish these and other tasks.

The user may then launch a graphical tool or editing program capable of reading the master document.

Abstract: The present invention comprises an optical parametric oscillator for down-conversion of coherent light to longer wavelengths. The present invention comprises an optical pump source for providing a pump beam at a primary wavelength. The pump source is coupled into a singly-resonant cavity through an input mirror positioned at the input end of said cavity. The inputed pump beam is directed into a monolithic non-linear optical medium having multiple regions formed on a single substrate. An optical parametric oscillation occurs at each stage of the optical medium; however, the signal (resonated) frequency is identical at each stage of the optical medium. The single frequency produced at each stage of the optical medium results in a sequential gain of the signal, which is resonated by an output mirror which is adapted to reflect and oscillate the signal frequency within the cavity, and allow the idler frequency to pass through the cavity.

Abstract: An insulation assembly for insulating elongated wall, ceiling, floor and roof cavities having standard widths and nonstandard widths less or greater than standard widths for such cavities, includes a series of elongated insulation modules separably joined together and having widths less than the standard cavity width for the cavities to be insulated. Preferably, each of the modules are compressible and resilient in the direction of their widths and include a fibrous insulation encapsulated within a plastic film envelope. An insulation panel, having a width approximating the width of the cavity to be insulated, is formed by separating a selected number of one or more modules from the series of modules. The insulation panel is then inserted into the cavity and secured in place to insulate the cavity.

Abstract: A telecommunications system handles 800 calls between first and second networks in different countries. In the preferred embodiment, call handling equipment of the second network receives a call from a call origin in the first network, wherein the call was placed using an 800 number corresponding to a destination in the second network and wherein the second network includes interexchange carriers and local exchange carriers. Preferably, the call is received in call handling equipment of one of the interexchange carriers and carried to the destination by the interexchange carrier to which the 800 number is assigned. In one embodiment, the call is reoriginated after receipt by the call handling equipment of a local exchange carrier which routes the call to the assigned interexchange carrier. Billing charges are assessed to the origin for international toll charges and to the destination for 800 toll charges in the second network.

Abstract: A mining machine having a boom and a rotary cutting head has water jets directed to the picks of the head and apparatus to phase water supply to only those picks engaging the face to be cut. The water supply system includes circumferentially disposed chambers in the cutting head, each to direct at least one jet to one or more picks and each having a valves to control entry of water thereinto. A drive swash plate which is in surface contact with valves in the chambers is adapted in use to be stationary relative to the cutting head for actuating the valves moving into the cutting area. Water is fed to the chambers by a rotatable lance on which the drive swash plate is fixedly mounted. A break swash plate is also mounted on the lance for engagement with a brake adapted to stop rotation of the lance, such that the drive swash plate is in a selected stationary disposition to actuate the appropriate valves moving into the selected cutting area. The brake is selectively controlled by movement of the cutting boom.

Abstract: The mining machine can serve a dual function, as a road header or as a continuous miner. The machine has a turrent 14 into which a road header assembly can be directly pivotally mounted. Alternatively a continuous miner cutter assembly can be pivotally mounted on the turret, indirectly via transversely disposed pivot extension brackets 45 which are firstly mounted on the turret to extend the pivot axis forwardly of that of the road header assembly. Each bracket has three bores 46-48 in triangular disposition, two of which 46, 47 fixedly connect the bracket to the turret while the third bore 48, forwardly of the others provide the pivotal connection for the parallel arms 40 of the continuous miner.
