| Abstract: | Binary-coded decimal electronic calculator capable of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing with some degree of automatic decimal point placement to provide a visual display of answers of up to 12 decimal digits. The decimal digits are serially displayed at a speed compatible with the calculator operations. The parts of the calculator are so adapted electrically and mechanically in relation to each other to result in a minature portable battery operated calculator of extremely small dimensions for example the outside case dimensions of 41/4 inches by 61/8 inches by 13/4 inches and very low weight of about 45 ounces, having a calculating capability only before obtainable in calculators of much larger size and weight while retaining mechanical and operational simplicity. Some significant aspects of the calculator are the primary electronics embodied in an integrated semiconductor circuit array located in substantially one plane for performing the arithmetic calculations and generating the control signals, a keyboard input arrangement located in substantially one plane parallel to the integrated semiconductor circuit array for producing unique electrical signals corresponding to number and command entries and a visual display using a semiconductor array, as for a thermal printer for printout. |

| Abstract: | A system for screening telephone calls is described which intercepts an incoming ring signal to prevent disturbing the called party. The system produces an off-hook condition and responds with a recorded announcement specifying the activity in which the called party is involved and indicating that he would prefer not to be interrupted, and also gives instructions as to how the calling party may nevertheless continue the call by initiating an additional dialed signal if he wishes. When the calling party initiates the additional signal specified by the instruction, preferably by dialing the digit “1,” the called party is summoned to the telephone after a predetermined time delay. As an alternative to interrupting the called party, the calling party may record a message. The recorded announcement may be modified by the subscriber at any time to tailor the announcement to the occasion to enable the calling party to better use his judgment as to when to interrupt. |

| Inventors: | Kilby J |
| Original Assignee: | Kilby J |
| Abstract: | A binary encoding switch is described having a slide which is manually movable along a linear path adjacent a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board has five tracks comprised of conductive and non-conductive segments and a sixth track that is continuously conductive. The slide houses six conductive balls, each of which is biased into engagement with one of the tracks by a separate conductive leaf spring. A guide way is associated with the printed circuit board for guiding the slide along the linear path. A set of detents is also associated with the printed circuit board and a detent pin is carried by the slide. The detent pin is manually disengaged by the same operating tab used to move the slide longitudinally of the track. Electrical energy is continuously provided to the balls by way of the continuously conductive track and the leaf springs. Thus, the balls and tracks form individual switches which are open or closed in accordance with the conductive and non-conductive segments of the tracks. A diode associated with each of the five segmented tracks permits the conductive state of the respective ball and track switch to be used for binary coding purposes. |

| Abstract: | A system for detecting a ring signal and responding with a busy signal is disclosed. The system is under the control of the subscriber to present an open circuit condition to the central switching circuit until a ring signal is detected. Then a closed circuit condition is established and a signal duplicating the system busy signal is applied to the telephone line to give the calling party the impression that the called station is busy. The subscriber may activate the device either manually or by voice in response to a ring signal, or the device may be placed in an activated condition at any time and remain in the activated condition for a selected period of time to automatically respond to an incoming ring signal with an off-hook condition and a busy signal before an audible ring signal occurs. |
