Tooth brush for cleaning dentures

A method for monitoring the signaling network in a telecommunication system comprises extending a copy of each signaling message processed by a particular signal transfer point to an interface unit. The interface unit relays 'of interest' messages to a signal monitoring system (SMS) in accordance with a pre-determined filtering protocol. In the SMS, messages are correlated in accordance with a pre-defined correlating protocol. The correlated signaling messages are subsequently retrieved by an OSS technician for analysis and updates.

Method for remote collection of signaling messages for routing analysis

A method for detecting translation data error in a central office switch comprises: receiving a call directed to a ported directory number in a switch; retrieving translation data from the switch memory to connect the call to a customer line; and determining that the call cannot be completed to a customer line served by the switch. Upon determining that the call cannot be connected to a customer line served by the switch, a translation data error (TDE) indicator is set in the switch memory so that the instant call, and all subsequent calls directed to the same ported directory number, are connected to an announcement circuit. An translation data error message is also sent to a central switch maintenance and control center by the switch.

Method for prohibiting continual routing of a call between central

A method for automatically transferring customer data among a plurality of central office switches comprises receiving a work order message from a central provisioning system at a message directing switch. The message directing switch is in communication with at least one message receiving switch in a local telecommunication network. Upon determining that a particular work order message received from a central provisioning system requires a coordinated data transfer, a data query is formulated in the message directing switch to retrieve specific data, such as data relating to a customer directory number, from a message receiving switch. Once the data is received in the message directing switch, the data is processed and retained in the message directing switch or delivered to another switch in the telecommunications network. The method and system alleviates the need for manual retrieval and installation of specific customer line data when a directory number is moved from one central office switch to another.

Method for coordinating data changes among central office switches

An Operations Support System, comprised of a computer and workstation, stores digit analysis specifications for telecommunications call processing. A graphical user interface displays digit analysis specifications visually as subtrees made up of nodes representing the digits of the dialed number. Two subtrees can be displayed contemporaneously for evaluation and manipulation independently and from one to another. Operations performed on the nodes also operate on the embedded digit analysis specifications permitting manipulation of the specifications without the need to view or deal with the specifications themselves directly. Related information such as Routing Table Indexes and local exchange numbers called NXX numbers are displayed contemporaneous with display of a subtree of interest and are manipulated with regard to that subtree.

Apparatus to manipulate and examine the data structure that supports

An end office of the PSTN, which employs independent switching networks which share one or more office codes, is served by a single assigned node on the CCS network. The signaling processor which serves the assigned node, screens all incoming call messages (IAM)'s; directs messages which include an appropriate Channel Identification Code (CIC) to the switching network that serves that CIC; rejects messages that include an improper CIC; and requests that the calling office assign a different CIC to the incoming call. In an alternate configuration, a signaling message intercept unit is interposed between a signal transfer point (STP) and end switches, to determine which of two or more switches should receive a message, based on the directory number, a circuit identifier or a message index of the received message, and forwards the message to the correct switch.

Water driven rotary brush for washing vehicles

Water driven rotary brush for washing wire wheels or similar articles

A hydraulically driven rotary brush for cleaning vehicles and the like. This is a rotary brush system wherein the brush rotates about an axis parallel to the item being washed. It has a wand for the attachment to a source of water at one end, and a brush mounted at the further end. Water flowing through the wand is diverted into a channel or channels for the operation of at least one turbine unit connected to the drum supporting the brush. Water exiting from the turbine unit is directed onto the surface being washed to thoroughly flush the same. The drum is provided with means for inserting detergents and/or waxes within the drum, and apertures are provided within the surface of the drum whereby these materials can be fed to the brush whereupon they mix with the water for application to the surface. Provision is made whereby the drum can be readily removed, for example, for the replacement of the bristles or elements of the brush itself.
