Abstract: A system for providing power to a central office protector module which has a visual indicator for indicating an alarm whenever one of the two lines protected by the module is shorted to ground by the module. The system includes at least one connector block which has a group of receptacles for receiving the module. The system includes a power supply which converts central office battery to a relatively low amplitude voltage to provide power to the alarm indicator. Current flows only when the module shorts the line to ground. The power supply also includes its own alarm indicator and also has provision to test that indicator and provide a remote alarm.

Abstract translation: 一种用于向中央办公室保护器模块提供电力的系统，该系统具有视觉指示器，用于在模块保护的两条线路中的任何一个线路被该模块短路到地面时指示报警。 该系统包括至少一个连接器块，其具有用于接收模块的一组容座。 该系统包括一个电源，它将中心局电池转换成相对较低的振幅电压，以向报警指示器供电。 电流仅在模块将接地线短路时才流动。 电源还包括自己的报警指示器，并且还提供测试该指示器并提供远程报警。

Abstract: Two-way interactive short message system with personalized messaging menus that provide WAP like services at less cost than CSD. Mobile Originated Interactive Menus are implemented as a feature of a Short Message Service Center (SMSC). Each option guides either to the next menu level, or to a final action to be executed according to the path followed by the subscriber. Importantly, the mobile originated interactive menus use SMS communications instead of circuit switched data (CSD) (e.g., instead of WAP communications), thus leaving traffic channels available for voice calls. Users may define the content and frequency they want. Replacement of messages in TDMA and GSM mobile devices allow for heavy usage without filling up the user's phone buffer, i.e., prior messages may be overwritten, to assure that only the latest information is all that is being displayed and read.

Abstract translation: 双向交互式短信系统，具有个性化消息菜单，可以以比CSD低的成本提供像WAP一样的服务。 移动发起的交互式菜单被实现为短消息服务中心（SMSC）的功能。 每个选项可以指导下一个菜单级别，或者根据用户所遵循的路径执行最终的操作。 重要的是，移动发起的交互式菜单使用SMS通信而不是电路交换数据（CSD）（例如，而不是WAP通信），从而使业务信道可用于语音呼叫。 用户可以定义他们想要的内容和频率。 TDMA和GSM移动设备中的消息的替换允许大量使用而不填充用户的电话缓冲器，即可以覆盖先前的消息，以确保只有最新信息全部被显示和读取。

Abstract: A system and method of screening films. The method includes the first step of displaying a movie print with multiple soundtracks on a display screen. A plurality of screening rooms, each with a view of the display screen, is provided. Separate audio signals from each soundtrack is generated and one or more of the audio signals is transmitted to one or more of the screening rooms. A system for screening films includes a display; a plurality of screening rooms, wherein each screening room includes a view of the display; a movie playback system; and, a sound distribution system coupled to receive audio signals from the movie playback system and to distribute the audio signals to the plurality of screening rooms.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing 2-way interactive short message system menus to a mobile device using text-based short messaging rather than WAP techniques. This provides the ability to provide WAP like services at a fraction of the cost of CSD. Mobile Originated Interactive Menus are implemented as a feature of a Short Message Service Center (SMSC). Each option guides either to the next menu level, or to a final action to be executed according to the path followed by the subscriber. Importantly, the mobile originated interactive menus use SMS communications instead of circuit switched data (CSD) (e.g., instead of WAP communications), thus leaving traffic channels available for voice calls. Interactive SMS menus allow service providers to offer their subscribers personalized messaging menus with multiple options for quick and easy access to Web-based content. Users may define the content and frequency they want, whether it is a scheduled delivery or on-demand. The interactive SMS menu options offer customers a simple-to-use technique and apparatus for checking, e.g., stock quotes, local weather, and/or other Web-based news and information when they want it. The interactive nature of the service allows the wireless network to poll the user for their next response, with multiple menued options offered, making it highly intuitive. Replacement of messages in TDMA and GSM mobile devices allow for heavy usage without filling up the user's phone buffer, i.e., prior messages may be overwritten, to assure that only the latest information is all that is being displayed and read. The flexibility of Interactive SMS Menus can allow service providers to define their own base offering of menus, depending upon their targeted customer segments.
