Abstract: A shear wall construction and method for assembling the same is disclosed. A plywood sheet includes close laterally-spaced pairs of vertical studs or posts proximate each lateral end. A channel-defining member is fitted and fixed between the spaced studs. A tie member extends from the channel-defining member into a concrete foundation or other underlying building element. A track is also provided for sheathing a lower edge of the shear wall. Protrusions from the metal track aid in anchoring the shear wall to the concrete foundation.

Abstract: Telephone sets can be fitted with auxiliary headset features but they will still require mechanical lifters to raise and lower the handset in response to a call. The lifter needs to be in circuit with some portion of the telephone set but it is impractical to modify an unlimited number of disparate set types. To solve this problem, the audio line cord, which is easily detachable, is passed through the lifter system and manually operable remote switch. The switch issues signals in tandem with audio signals on the handset cord and the lifter system differentiates the signals to respond only to switching signals intended to lift or lower the handset from its cradle.

Abstract: A continuity system for a building is designed to compensate for the downward settling of building elements over time, which occurs due to the shrinkage of wooden building members. The continuity system comprises one or more hold-down assemblies each having a stud-connector secured to a generally vertical stud, a generally vertical rod inserted into an opening of the stud connector, a rod-gripping member in toothed engagement with the rod above the opening, and one or more positioning elements exerting a downward force on the rod-gripping member. The rod has a lower portion secured to a stable building element such as the building's foundation. The opening of the stud-connector defines a frustoconical bearing surface on the upper surface of a portion of the stud-connector, or on a gripper support element in some embodiments. The rod-gripping member includes a plurality of gripping portions each having a lower surface defining a circumferential portion of a frustoconical shape sized and adapted to conform with the frustoconical bearing surface of the stud-connector. If the stud and stud-connector settle downward with respect to the rod, the downward force of the positioning element causes teeth of the gripping portions to disengage from circumferential teeth of the rod so that the rod-gripping member moves downward until the lower surfaces of the gripping portions bear against the frustoconical bearing surface of the stud-connector. The radial components of the reaction forces of the frustoconical bearing surface of the stud-connector causes the teeth of the gripping portions to reengage the teeth of the rod. If lateral forces on the building (e.g., earthquake or strong winds) urge the stud and stud-connector upward relative to the rod, the frustoconical bearing surface of the stud-connector exerts radially inward compression forces onto the gripping portions to cause the teeth of the gripping portions to engage the teeth of the rod and thereby substantially prevent the rod-gripping member and stud-connector from moving upward relative to the rod.

Abstract: An automatic handset lifter is used with a wireless communication system. The system attaches to a conventional telephone and creates a communication link between the telephone and a portable device such as a wireless headset. The system automatically detects the ringing of the telephone by sensing magnetic fields of the telephone speaker. Upon ring detection, the system creates a communications link with the remote device and deploys a mechanical lifting device to lift the handset. Lifting the handset activates the telephone cradle switch to answer the phone and thereby allows the remote device to communicate over the telephone.

Abstract: The present invention is directed most particularly to wireless communication systems for interconnection with telephone systems, and more particularly to methods and apparatus to suppress unwanted and annoying audio spikes or bursts that infiltrate the wireless system from ultimately reaching the user's earpiece. An embodiment of the invention is directed to a telephone headset amplifier system with a noise blanking or squelching capability, which attenuates the incoming audio signal when the incoming signal exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: The invention provides load-resisting segments (e.g., panels or frames for openings) for transmitting loads through a building structure. In the context of a wall, the load-resisting segments transmit shear loads downward to structural elements below the wall, such as to a building foundation. The load-resisting segments may comprise a truss configuration, i.e., an assembly of members forming a rigid framework. Each load-resisting segment can include web members and pairs of truss plates secured to sides of the segment to secure connections of the web members to each other and to other members. The wall segments can include beam-separation blocks that reduce truss plate failure by spacing apart the ends of two web members bearing against a chord or post to position the intersection point of the load paths of the web members with the load path of the chord or post. Some of the truss plates can include strips of material to provide additional resistance to tearing of the truss plate due to loads experienced by the truss plate. Some of the load-resisting segments, particularly frames for doors or windows, may include compression plates that prevent point-loading of studs or chords against transversely oriented members. For example, a truss frame may include compression plates between ends of its columns and surfaces of a header or sill structure.
