A voice level controller comprises a discriminator for determining whether speech is transmitted through an analog line or not, and a control circuit for controlling a speech level in accordance with the output of the discriminator.

Voice level controller

There is provided a method for transferring an incoming telephone call to another station, utilizing the services of a network. The method consists of calling a station of destination by an exchange apparatus; then entering a three-party communication state including the exchange, the station of destination of transfer and the call originating station; and sending a soundless signal from the exchange to the station of destination of transfer and the call originating station, whereby the communication is enabled between these stations, so that the call is apparently transferred to the station of destination.

Call transfer arrangement using network services

A telephone switching apparatus includes a line network to which first and second telephones are connected and a hands-free trunk whose input and output terminals are connected to the line network. The line network is controlled such that voices from the first and second telephones are transmitted to the second and first telephones, respectively, through the hands-free trunk. A call transfer apparatus includes an outside-line interface to which first and second outside lines are connected and an adjusting unit for comparing the volumes of voices from the first and second outside lines and adjusting the volumes of the voices in accordance with the results of the comparison. The voices input from the first and second outside lines and adjusted in volume are transmitted to the second and first outside lines, respectively.

Apparatus and method for providing echo suppression to a plurality of

A communication control unit for controlling communication of data from external equipment includes a receiver for receiving the data from the external equipment, a transmitter for transmitting the data received by the receiver, a first set device for setting a data transmission rate between the receiver and the external equipment, and a second set device for setting a data transmission rate of the transmitter in accordance with the data transmission rate set by the first set device.

Communication control unit

Electronic equipment comprises a store for storing messages, apparatus for processing time information and generating an output at the beginning of each predetermined time period. The messages and time information may be displayed and one of the messages can be selected at random at the start of each time period and displayed with time information in response to the output of the time information processing means, the same message being prevented from being displayed more than once in a time period that is longer than the first mentioned time period.

Electronic equipment calendar and random daily message generator

An electronic device, such as an electronic learning machine or dictionary, includes a memory for storing items of information, such as words in both a first and a second language in pairs, and an operation unit for searching particular ones of the pairs of words. This device also includes a memory that stores the number of times each pair of words is searched. Each time a pair of words is searched, the total number of times that the pair has been searched is displayed in a recognizable form by a display.

Electronic equipment for storing number of searches of information

An electronic compact function calculator of the invention has a keyboard including function keys, numeral/operation keys, and a graphic print key for accessing a graphic pattern of a desired function; a ROM storing graphic patterns of functions; and a display device or printer for displaying or printing the graphic pattern. The graphic representation of a function can be performed by a simple operation.

Electronic compact function calculator

An electronic instrument has a power switch provided on the upper surface of a keyboard. The keyboard comprises a substrate having transmitting electrodes and receiving electrodes and a flexible sheet having transparent electrodes in opposition to the transmitting and receiving electrodes. Between the substrate and flexible sheet there are arranged characters, symbols and the like. Cell, display device and logical operation elements are disposed gathered within a limited area of the substrate.

Electronic instrument with a flexible keyboard

An electronic desk-top calculator includes a bottom casing for the calculator on the inner surface of which bottom casing there are provided fixed contacts, and a flexible plate having thereon pairs of contacts provided with wiring conductors therefor. These pairs of contacts are so arranged at the positions in registry with the fixed contacts as to form a matrix. The fixed contacts act as bridging contacts and comprise electrically conductive material containing carbon particles. The pairs of contacts and wiring conductors have a first electrically conductive layer. An insulative layer of moisture-resistive material overlies the first conductive layer except those terminal ends of the wiring conductor which serve as contacts or electrical connectors. The exposed portions of the first conductive layer which function as switch contacts have an additional layer of electrically conductive material containing carbon particles.

Desk-top calculator keyboard switch

A method of connecting electrical parts to each other comprises the steps of coating an electroconductive adhesive on the terminal of a first member, coating an insulating adhesive on the terminal of a second member and the surface of the second member in which the terminal is not present, and adhering the first member to the second member with the terminal of the first member being opposite to that of the second member so that the first and second members are adhesively fixed to each other while each terminal of the first and second members are electrically connected.

Connecting method

A key switch provided with plural elastic elements to be actuated in succession in response to the operation of key top by finger and composed to perform opening or closing operation when at least two of said elastic elements are actuated thereby reducing bouncing or chattering.

Key switch

A device for adjusting position of a head for reading out or writing in. The device includes an eccentrically rotatable member which moves the head so as to change its position relative to a recording medium and an actuating member for eccentrically rotating the rotatable member, the actuating member being coupled to the actuating member.
