A communication system and format is described for use in assisted telephonic communications, intended to help users who are hearing impaired use the telephone system. A relay connects a hearing user with the assisted user. The relay creates a text message stream containing the words spoken by the hearing user. The relay then combines the digital characters of the text message with packets of digitized voice spoken by the hearing user and sends the combined digital data packets to the station of the assisted user. The station of the assisted user is capable of separating the voice from the text and displaying the text for reading by the assisted user.

The present invention relates to two novel crystal forms of a known compound, 1-&lsqb;5-Methanesulfonamidoindolyl-2-carbonyl&rsqb;-4-&lsqb;3-(1-methylethylamino)-2-pyridinyl&rsqb; piperazine monomethanesulfonate salt, which are useful for treating humans who are HIV positive, which are identified by a powder X-ray diffraction spectrum known commonly as the &ldquo;S&rdquo; and &ldquo;T&rdquo; forms.

An electrical power cord in one embodiment comprises a plug having prongs for insertion in an electrical outlet, a tubular member disposed about the plug, the plug and said tubular member being relatively movable. A spring is disposed between the tubular member and the plug and compressed when the prongs are inserted in the outlet so as to bias the plug in a direction away from the outlet. An interlocking lever is disposed on the tubular member for interlocking the tubular member and the plug when the prongs are inserted in the outlet. A wire coil is disposed on the tubular member and is provided with an electrical current when the prongs are inserted in the outlet to move a magnetically susceptible trip means in a manner to disengage the interlocking lever and allow the spring to eject the plug from the outlet.

A storage container set wherein the individual containers are sized and configured to be nestable one within the other during storage of the set. Each container includes a rim depending downwardly from the underside of the container and having a plurality of vertical slots formed therein. The container lid is removably affixed to the underside of the container during storage of the container set in the nested condition by way of an interlocking arrangement between the rim and an annular groove disposed in a face of the lid, or interlocking buttons or recesses.
