20100254376BRANCH CALLING AND CALLER ID BASED CALL ROUTING TELEPHONE FEATURES - A caller ID based call routing feature is described for blocked and non-blocked caller ID's. A processing system in the public switched telephone network (PSTN) receives first identifying information for identify the source of a telephone call and associates additional information stored in a memory with the first identifying information. The additional information may be information about the calling party initially downloaded to the memory by a subscriber. Once retrieved from the memory by the processing system, the additional information may then be transmitted to the subscriber via the Internet for display on a monitor or to the subscriber's telephone for display on a telephone display. Another feature described is a branch calling feature where the subscriber may program a processing system within the PSTN to forward an incoming call to two or more end units (e.g., telephones) simultaneously. If the call at an end unit is answered, answer supervision signaling is transmitted back to the processing system which then terminates all other calls. The processing system then connects the calling party to the subscriber. The branch calling may be made for any combination of local, long distance, and cellular telephone numbers.10-07-2010

20100045864Twisted pair communications line system - A transmission system for transmitting analog color video signals wherein a cable comprising multiple twisted pairs is employed, and certain of these pairs are coupled to carry selected color signals as a function of the delay provided by particular twist rates. In certain instances, selected signal delay devices are connected in circuit with certain twisted pairs. By such an arrangement, it has been found that relatively long distances between a computer and a monitor may be spanned by relatively low-cost, twisted pair cable commonly used for telephone communications.02-25-2010

20090134004Driving or driven distiller with heat pump function - This invention improves efficiencies of existing distilling devices and provides the opportunity to utilize latent heat for heating or cooling purposes. Sufficient heat sources or cooling sinks can drive the invention for mechanical power production. The innovative use of an elongated chamber hydraulic column positive pressure at the bottom to drive condensation; and pertaining negative pressure in a sealed volume at the top to evince evaporation give a new capability. Repeated mechanical inversions of the chamber allows the evaporated vapor volumes to be compressed and driven to condense by the fluid hydraulic column as a piston, eliminating requirements for seals. This allows operation with many fluid separations and in many physical environmental regimes, both internal to the elongated chamber and externally. Inverting the chamber uses or produces power efficiently in force fields such as gravity, centrifugal, or linear inertial yielding possibilities for miniaturization and extension of output parameters and throughputs.05-28-2009
