With all the discussion of environmental pollution, we tend to overlook a very influential local factor – namely the improper disposal of unused medications.
The FDA has a site to recommend techniques and lists specific drugs with disposal techniques. However, differences exist in how to dispose and remove narcotics or stimulants – the intent is not to tempt people with improper use of these medications. FDA recommends flushing many of them (see the above website), but this puts the medications into our water supply, albeit diluted. But other organizations, such as DisposeMyMeds offer more detailed information about the how many medications are found in our drinking water. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has a set of recommendations which is easy to read, easy to follow, and summarized here: (1) Pour the medication in a sealable plastic bag; (2) crush it or add water to dissolve it. (3) Then add kitty litter, sawdust or coffee grounds to the solution. (4) Seal the plastic bag and dispose of it in the trash. (5) Also scrape off any identifying names from the bottle or package. Inhaler devices can also explode if incinerated – it's important to read the specific disposal instructions that comes with the medication. Every state has their own regulations, but many follow the Federal ones. Florida has a detailed site, and they do not recommend flushing unused medications.
The U S EPA also has a detailed website which discusses these very issues. Hospices follow rigorous protocols to remove the medications from a home once they are no longer needed.
There remains a discussion about the patch delivery systems. The Federal government suggests flushing, but it's best to return them to a facility set up to accept back these medications. Ask your pharmacist or visit the DEA's website for more information. Check for National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day events and to locate a DEA-authorized collector Or call the DEA Office of Diversion Control's Registration Call Center at 1-800-882-9539 to find a nearby authorized collector—but be prepared for the reality that nothing exists for many miles, if at all.
We tend to forget that our actions, as innocent and simple as they may seem, do indeed contribute to the pollution of our environment. Improperly disposed medications are as environmental contaminants as much as any industrial toxic run off.
And unused medications at home can lead to accidental overdoses or improper uses.
I'd like to see collection boxes for unused medications at the local hospitals since they have the protocols and ability to properly dispose of these items.
Doctors and pharmacists need to discuss these issues. Let's start a campaign – "we teach you how to use the medications – let's also teach you how to dispose of them."

Vista compatible
All I had to do was install the card and boot the pc. On re-start, Vista recognized the modem and installed built-in Vista drivers and the modem has worked flawlessly since then. The only reason I don't give it a 5 is because the included driver & software aren't Vista compatible so all the features aren't availble without going to the US Robotics website to obtain updated software. Overstock.com shipped the product promptly and I received it quickly.

The included FAX software could have been better. All else was excellent.

Fellini: Excellent kilo restaurant in Leblon
I've given several recommendations for other kilo restaurants in Ipanema and Leblon, but this recently-discovered one (at General Urquiza 104, towards the end of Leblon) is currently my favourite. A bit more expensive than most (@ Rs$4.19 per 100g during the week, Rs$4.79 at w/es), but excellent value for the quality. Good variety (including sushi), and everything very tasty. Very popular, and you may need to queue, but it's worth it. Agreeable ambiance. Loyalty card gives you the right to a free meal after eating 10 there (and I shall!).
Favorite Dish: You can sample a little bit of everything from the generous buffet.

Fellini: If you are visiting Rio, you MUST go to Fellini
Fellini is a kilo buffet which means you go through a buffet pick out all of the delicious food you want, and then weigh it to get a price. The price is very reasonable and the food is out of this world. Everything is made from scratch and Fellini uses very high quality ingredients. The pastas are all made in house and they have the best raviolli and gnocci i have ever tasted. The filet mignon is juicy and so flavorful, it comes medium rare on the buffet which is how i like it but if you want your steak more well done they will happily accomodate you and fix you up one more well done. There is fresh sushi that tastes so fresh, and it seems everyone really enjoys the sushi selection. The menu changes every day, which makes it an exciting place to try more than once and see what will be on the buffet the next day. There is a very big dessert slection and everything is made there, the cakes are out of this world! There is a little bit of everything for everyone whether you want fish, chicken, vegetarian, beef, a healthy option, or something to splurge on, Fellini does a great job at balancing the menu every day so that everyone will be satisfied with thier meal. Fellini has won numerous award for being the best kilo in Rio and the owners and staff provide excellent and consistent service and always have a smile on their faces. Fellini is located in Leblon, and is very close to the beach! Please try this restaurant if you visit, you will be extremely satisfied and want to come back for more! Look Fellini up on facebook, they post a menu every day and pictures!!

Fellini: Cariocas says that they have the best buffet!
I liked to go to Fellini because it was close to the beach, so I could enjoy it a lot and then have lunch and take a nap at my hotel after lunch!!
The food there, is delicious and very gourmet. They have a vast variety of all kinds of food (pasta, meat, salad, etc...), and it's good because you can go there starving and eat a lot!!!
Favorite Dish: Every day is a different day there!

The Glenwood girls soccer team scored all four of its goals in the second half en route to a 4-0 Hawkeye 10 Conference victory over Harlan at Creighton University's Morrison Stadium Thursday.
After a scoreless first half in which Class 2A, No. 10 ranked Glenwood had plenty of chances to find the net, the Rams came out more aggressive in the second half but coach Amy Benson said other than a single lineup up change, she changed very little of her team's strategy during the break.
Track team victories don't come more dominating than the Glenwood boy's at the Mustang Relays in Shenandoah last Tuesday.
Sure the Rams racked up 168 team points, nearly doubling up second place Clarinda's 87 points, to win the team title. But it was how Glenwood did it that was impressive.
The Rams won all six relays and compiled gold medals in five other events to literally run away with the meet title.
The Glenwood boys and girls track teams combined to qualify in six events at the 2014 Drake Relays this week in Des Moines.
Dane Kruse qualified in the 110-meter high hurdles and will also run a leg of the 4x100-meter relay. Those who could run the 4x100 for Glenwood also include Jon Van Scoy, Mavrick Decker, Spencer Smith, Josh Lee and Nick Beier.
Travis Tupper and Sam Rew each won a gold medal for East Mills at the Mustang Relays in Shenandoah last Tuesday.
Glenwood was the meet champion with 168 team points. East Mills finished fourth at the meet with 65 points.
Tupper won the 200-meters and placed second in the 400 while Rew won gold in the high jump and placed sixth in the 110-meter high hurdles.
Fremont-Mills placed seventh as a team with 57 team points.
Jordyn Hanshaw scored three goals as the Glenwood girls soccer team recorded its first victory of the season with a 4-0 win over Sioux City North Friday.
The Rams (1-1) recorded 26 shots in all, including 16 on goal in the win.
"We were able to play the entire game," Benson said. "We also were able to find the back of the net. I was proud of my girls for being able to bounce back after last night's loss."
The Glenwood girls track team traveled to the Sioux City Relays on Saturday in a crowded field of Class 3A and 4A teams.
"The Rams competed well and they provided the fans with personal best and season best efforts," said Glenwood coach Brad Rasmussen. "They reached the podium six times during the afternoon, which was very rewarding. The coaching staff was pleased with the efforts of all the athletes."
East Mills placed second and Fremont-Mills was third at the A-H-S-T Co-Ed Track Relays in Avoca Thursday.
Travis Tupper, who won the 100-meters, 200-meters and 400-meters led the Wolverines to a second place team showing. East Mills' 108 points trailed team champion Panorama's 143 points.
Tupper also anchored the Wolverines 4x100-meter relay team to a second place finish. East Mills' also earned silver medals from it's 4x200 and 4x400-meter relay teams.
Fremont-Mills racked up 106 team points for third place.
The Glenwood boys track team won five gold medals and the team title at the Cardinal Relays Friday.
Glenwood's 118 team points bested runner-up Harlan's 88 points.
Josh Lee had a strong day for the Rams in the sprints, winning gold in the 100-meters and a silver in the 200-meter dash.
Dane Kruse added an individual gold in the 110-meter high hurdles.
Jana King won her first career singles tournament title and Glenwood placed second as a team at the Shenandoah Tournament Saturday.
The host Fillies won the tournament with 14 team points. The Rams finished second with 11 team points.
King downed Denison's Paige Lansink 6-0, 6-2 in the opening round before defeating Shenandoah's Emma Christiansen 6-2, 6-1 in the finals.
Glenwood dropped its opener to Class 3A state runner up Johnston before bouncing back for a victory over Nevada in the capper at the Johnston Boys Soccer Invitational Saturday in Des Moines.
Johnston, ranked No. 2 in Class 3A, downed Glenwood 4-0 in Saturday's opening match.

Throughout the West, Christians, Orthodox, Protestant and Catholic, are now enrolled in a school of ecumenism as we make common cause to end the killing of our youngest neighbors. We have been thrown together in a common defense of life in a western culture which has lost its moral compass. Our Marching together for Life is becoming a road to our unity and a sign of our growing communion.

CHESAPEAKE, Va. (Catholic Online) - After his Wednesday catechesis Pope Benedict XVI noted that Friday, the 18th of January begins the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. This year, the theme of the week is "What does God require of us?" inspired by a passage from the prophet Micah.
The Pope invited all "to pray, asking insistently of God, for the great gift of unity between all of the Lord's disciples. May the Holy Spirit's limitless strength arouse us to the sincere commitment to seek unity, so that we might all profess together that Jesus is the savior of the world."
On January 25, 2013, hundreds of thousands will gather in Washington, D.C. to give their voice to our neighbors in the first home of the whole human race. These are the children who await their welcome among us upon birth. These littlest neighbors need our voice because theirs is being muffled behind the wall of their mother's womb, once considered the first refuge of safety.
There, in their first experience of the interdependency which reveals the truth about our humanity, where they are supposed to be embraced by the warmth of love, they are vulnerable to the worst kind of domestic violence. At any moment the weapons of the first pre-emptive war, voluntary abortion, may be wielded against them for any reason.
Make no mistake; these are weapons of death and destruction - chemical, surgical or suction - being used to kill these children deliberately for any or no reason. The cold, hard truth about every procured abortion is that it takes an innocent human life.
No one with integrity any longer argues that the little girl or little boy killed through procured abortion is not a human being. When the abortion occurs through miscarriage we properly enter into the mourning of the mother over the loss of the one we call "her baby". However, when the mother is deceived into a voluntary abortion, we use a different vocabulary.
Most people now acknowledge that these children killed by abortion are human persons. A few hold on to the dangerous notion that dependency upon others makes someone less of a person. However, medical science has confirmed what our consciences and the Natural Law told us all along, these victims of the first preemptive war called intentional abortion are human beings just like us.
We frame "baby's first pictures" in their 3D or 4D image through sonogram technology. We use intrauterine surgery to intervene to save them or correct anything which they may need before they are born. We prosecute an offender who, in the evil act of harming their mother, causes their death as well. It is all so very clear what we are really doing in every procured abortion.
The argument now used in a futile attempt to somehow justify this preemptive war on little girls and boys is that the choice to kill them should be left to the mother in consultation with her own Doctor and/or other counselors. This profane argument is couched in a language of freedom and clothed with a counterfeit compassion. What other group of human persons can be killed because someone else determines they do not want them to live?
There is no moral difference between the killing of a child after birth and the killing of a child before birth.
We now legally excuse fetal homicide when it is committed by a misguided mother through the agency of a deceived or corrupted Doctor who once pledged to "do no harm" in his or her professional oath. We now routinely refer to this intentional taking of innocent human life as healthcare. We try to claim that the decision to take their life is somehow a "reproductive" choice.
Procured abortion is not health care, it is an execution. And, there is absolutely NOTHING reproductive about taking the life of that little boy or girl.
There is a horrid irony in the fact that this 40th Anniversary March for Life will take place only days after President Barack Obama is sworn in for his second term. He will take the oath of office placing his hand on two bibles, one owned by Abraham Lincoln, the other owned by Martin Luther King Jr.
Both of those American heroes stood against the evil idea that some human persons are less worthy of being welcomed within our National family than others. With President Obama's election, our Nation celebrated a great advance against another intrinsic evil, racism, and the horrid memory of its once institutionalized expression, slavery.
Yet, sadly, President Obama has been blinded by the culture of death. He is advancing another form of slavery with his refusal to defend the Right to life of our youngest neighbors in the womb.The Right to life Movement is a solidarity movement. These little children our brothers and sisters and we are indeed their keepers.
Evil ideas have a horrid way of repackaging themselves. This President is the most anti-Life President in our modern history. He regularly claims to hear the cry of the poor, yet he fails to hear the cries of those whom Blessed Teresa of Calcutta properly called the "poorest of the poor", our first neighbors in the womb.
It is noteworthy that in the 40 years since the evil Supreme Court decisions in Roe and Doe were issued some unexpected good has come to Christians involved in this great human rights struggle. In our insistence that the positive law recognize what the Natural Law demands, that these children have a right to life, Christians separated from one another by divisions in the Body of Christ have now found one another. I have long referred to this fact as the silver lining in the dark cloud of the culture of death.
That is why I believe it is no accident that the March for Life always falls within the National Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. Our human rights struggle has been the most fruitful and authentic form of ecumenism the world has ever witnessed; what I call trench ecumenism. We found one another in our common concern for the poorest of the poor.
The Prayer of Jesus echoes in a new missionary age: "I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me. And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me." (John 17:20-23)
There is a reciprocal relationship revealed in those words of the Savior. The world will believe our gospel when we demonstrate our own unity of love with one another. The prayer of the Son of God will be answered; the only question is how soon it will happen. We hasten that day when we choose to pray together and work with one another in this great human rights struggle.
That is the message that the great apostle Paul proclaimed to the Ephesians: "Brothers and sisters: I, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace; one Body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all, and in all." Ephesians 4: 1-6
Paul was the apostle of unity between the early Jewish and Gentile believers who were deeply divided. He knew the corrosive effect of divisions within the Body of Christ. We will march on the day when the Catholic Church, in her liturgy, commemorates his conversion to Jesus Christ.
The God who is One, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, places the impulse toward Christian unity in our hearts. In his Encyclical letter on Christian unity (May They Be One, 1995), Blessed John Paul II underscored the language of communion as the preferred vocabulary between Christians not yet one:
"It happens for example that, in the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount, Christians of one confession no longer consider other Christians as enemies or strangers but see them as brothers and sisters. Again, the very expression 'separated brethren' tends to be replaced today by expressions which more readily evoke the deep communion linked to the baptismal character which the Spirit fosters in spite of historical and canonical divisions. Today we speak of "other Christians", "others who have received Baptism", and "Christians of other Communities"(Par. 42)
The authentic ecumenical mission was at the heart of John Paul's pontificate and is at the heart of Pope Benedict's. I remember that day, April 20, 2005, when the newly elected Pope Benedict XVI gave his first message at the end of a Mass he had concelebrated with the members of the College of Cardinals in the Sistine Chapel. He signaled his mission with these words:
"Nourished and sustained by the Eucharist, Catholics cannot but feel encouraged to strive for the full unity for which Christ expressed so ardent a hope in the Upper Room. The Successor of Peter knows that he must make himself especially responsible for his Divine Master's supreme aspiration. Indeed, he is entrusted with the task of strengthening his brethren (cf. Luke 22: 32).
"With full awareness, therefore, at the beginning of his ministry in the Church of Rome which Peter bathed in his blood, Peter's current Successor takes on as his primary task the duty to work tirelessly to rebuild the full and visible unity of all Christ's followers. This is his ambition, his impelling duty."
The authentic ecumenical mission of restoring the full and visible unity of the Church has been the beating heart of Pope Benedict's years of service in the Chair of St Peter. That is because it reflects Heart of the Lord. To be a faithful Christian should mean to long for our full communion. Blessed John Paul called all of the faithful to carry forward the task of ecumenism with a practical and spiritual urgency in that letter on Christian Unity:
"Relations between Christians are not aimed merely at mutual knowledge, common prayer and dialogue. They presuppose and from now on call for every possible form of practical cooperation at all levels: pastoral, cultural and social, as well as that of witnessing to the Gospel message. Cooperation among all Christians vividly expresses that bond which already unites them, and it sets in clearer relief the features of Christ the Servant."
"This cooperation based on our common faith is not only filled with fraternal communion, but is a manifestation of Christ himself. Moreover, ecumenical cooperation is a true school of ecumenism, a dynamic road to unity. Unity of action leads to the full unity of faith."
"Through such cooperation, all believers in Christ are able to learn easily how they can understand each other better and esteem each other more, and how the road to the unity of Christians may be made smooth. In the eyes of the world, cooperation among Christians becomes a form of common Christian witness and a means of evangelization which benefits all involved."
Throughout the West, Christians, Orthodox, Protestant and Catholic, are now enrolled in a school of ecumenism as we make common cause to end the killing of our youngest neighbors. We have been thrown together in a common defense of life in a western culture which has lost its moral compass. Our Marching together for Life is becoming a road to our unity and a sign of our growing communion.
Come, let us lock arms together again and offer our voice for those who have none. Marching to Restore the Right to Life to Our Youngest Neighbors during the Week of Christian Unity is Prophetic. The Killing will end. The divisions among Christians will be healed.

After reading numerous posts on the net about how amazing your veggie burgers are, I was finally able to give them a try today. I had the Texas Burger and it totally blew my mind, and my taste buds! I've been trying a lot of different brands of veggie burgers lately and this is BY FAR the absolute winner. Thanks again for a fantastic product that I can feel great about eating!

Dry Dock Fish CompanyRead MoreAfter moving to the United States in 1968, Mark Lewis sorely missed the fresh fish he had found so readily available across the Atlantic Ocean. He was born in Marseille, France, and grew up in Casablanca, Morocco, where he spent leisurely days fishing the rivers with his friends. Lewis decided to create Dry Dock Fish Company to give Americans a taste of his beloved homeland. For more than 25 years now, Lewis and his family have been listening to customers' fish stories with a smile and working tirelessly to give people a deeper appreciation of the fruits of the sea. According to his bio, Lewis's favorite selections are the Santa Barbara shrimp, local halibut, and mahi-mahi. But renowned chef and restaurateur Giacomino Drago was drawn to the whole branzino; as part of the Farm to Table video series, he prepared one for dinner after a culinary excursion to the Beverly Hills Farmers' Market. You can find the branzino—along with sashimi-grade tuna or salmon smoked in-house—at the Fullerton store, in gourmet restaurants from Los Angeles to San Diego, and at more than 20 farmers markets in Southern California. The shop also stocks delicacies, such as preserved lemons and limes from Morocco and canned sardines from Portugal.1015 East Commonwealth AvenueFullerton, CA US

Like many traditional martial artists, the instructors spend as much focus on mental discipline and self-confidence as on physical fortitude, skill, and splitting firewood for the winter. Shihan Wenneberg insists on a holistic approach, encouraging students to improve their social skills, perform better in school, and get into better shape to complement their training.1027 North Harbor BoulevardFullerton, CA US

(Cl. 179-99) This application is a continuation of application Serial No. 155,609, filed November 29, 1961, now abandoned.
This invention relates generally to an automatic telephone dialing apparatus, and more particularly to a system and apparatus for use in conjunction with conventional dial telephones for automatically successively dialing and delivering a prerecorded message to each of a plurality of predesignated telephone numbers.
Recent investigations suggest that personal contact by telephone represents an effective technique for disseminating information to large numbers of people concerning, for example, the solicitation of contributions for charities, solicitation of votes in political campaigns, and notification of merchandise sales, etc. Although this communication technique is recognized as being extremely effective, it has the disadvantage of being relatively expensive inasmuch as heretofore large staffs of people have been required to individually dial the telephone number of each person whom it is desired to contact. In view of this great expense, efforts have been made to develop semi automatic and automatic equipment for dialing the telephone numbers desired. To a great extent these efforts have failed inasmuch as all of the equipments developed have been relatively complex and expensive, and in addition most of them require modification of the telephone I in order to accomplish the task. Due to the lack of adequate equipment for inexpensively and automatically dialing telephones and delivering a prerecorded message, relatively little use is made of the telephone as a medium for disseminating information. Rather, potential advertisers and solicitors rely on radio, television, newspapers, and distributed handbills. It is thought however that, upon the development of improved equipment for use with telephones, many advertisers and solicitors would prefer to utilize the telephone inasmuch as the contacts made are of a more personal nature and accordingly are more effective in inducing people to respond to the advertising or soliciting.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide simpler and less expensive apparatus than heretofore known for performing the function of automatically dialing and delivering a prerecorded message to each of a plurality of predesignated telephone numbers.
It is an additional object of this invention to provide automatic telephone dialing apparatus which can be used in conjunction with conventional dial telephones without requiring any modification thereof.
In accordance with the invention, a plurality of telephone numbers to be dialed are sequentially stored in a convenient code on a medium such as paper or magnetic tape. A reading device successively reads each digit of the coded telephone numbers and controls certain of a first set of switches in accordance with the read digit. A dialing assembly disposed externally to the telephone is coupled to the dial thereof and is capable of rotating the dial. Carried by the dialing assembly is a coded plate adapted to be rotated in fixed relationship with respect to the dial. Means associated with the coded plate control switches of a second set of switches in accordance with the instantaneous rotational position of the plate. The first and second sets of switches are electrically intercon nected in such a manner that after the plate is rotated to a position such that a correspondence between the orientation of the first and second sets of switches exists, the dial is released and allowed to rotate back to its initial position thereby effecting the dialing of a digit in the same manner as is done manually. Subsequent to a number of dialings sufficient to constitute the digits of a complete telephone number, operation of an audio playback. unit is initiated such that a prerecorded message can be delivered to the transmitting end of the telephone handset and received at the telephone associated with the dialed number.
Other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference now being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts through and in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of the dialing assembly portion of the invention showing the manner in which it is associated with a conventional dial telephone;
FIGURE 2 is a fragmentary front elevational view of a portion of a storage tape showing one technique for coding an exemplary telephone number, MAin 12345;
FIGURE 3 is a schematic wiring diagram showing the control circuit utilized to effect the automatic dialing and message delivering sequence.
With continuing reference to the drawings, initial attention is called to FIGURE 1 wherein is illustrated a sub stantially conventional telephone 10 having a rotatable dial 12, a handset 14 including a transmitting end 16, and a cradle portion 18 for receiving the handset 14 when the telephone is not in use. Disposed in the cradle portion 18 are buttons 20 adapted to be depressed by the handset 14 to thereby open the circuit to the telephone 10. When in use, the handset 14 must be lifted from the cradle 18 so as to release the buttons 20 to thereby close the circuit to the telephone 10. It is desirable to rest the telephone 10 on a base 22 having an oblique upper surface for and transmit over the telephone line, a prerecorded message from the playback unit 24. A dialing assembly 26 extends substantially vertically above the telephone dial 12 and comprises a motor 28 having an output shaft to which is rigidly fixed a clutch coil 32. Leads 34 extend from the motor 28 and may be connected to any appropriate source capable of causing the motor 28 to continually rotate. Lead 36 extends from the clutch coil 32 and is connected in the control circuit of FIGURE 3 in a manner to be more specifically described below.
A clutch plate 38, having a shaft 40 fixed thereto, is normally spaced from the clutch coil 32. Carried by the shaft 40 is a coded plate 42 and a radially projecting arm 44. Depending from the arm 44 is a vertical finger 46 which projects into the aperture in the dial 12 positioned over the 0 digit imprinted on the face of the telephone 10, when the dial is in its rest position.
The coded plate 42 defines four distinct annular tracks and ten distinct radial positions. Apertures extend through the plate in the appropriate tracks according to the code for each radial position. An exemplary binary code well suited for the function herein is described by the following table:
wherein a binary digit 1 is represented by an aperture in the plate such that, e.g. position #5 is represented by apertures in track #1 and track #3, position #7 is represented by apertures in tracks #1, #2, and #3, etc.
Disposed above the plate 42 and in line with the apertures defined therein is a light source 47 which can be connected through lead 48 to any suitable energizing source. Disposed beneath the plate 42 are photocells 50, 52, 54, and 56 which are aligned respectively with tracks #1, #2, #3, and #4 defined by the plate 42. The photocells respectively control normally closed switches 58, 60, 62, and 64 described below in connection with the circuit of FIGURE 3; i.e., when a photocell is energized, as when an aperture is aligned between a photocell and the light source 46, the switch controlled by the photocell is caused to open.
The dialing assembly 26 additionally includes a normally open switch 66 which is caused to close by engagement with a radially extending arm 44 when dial 12 is in its normal or rest position. When shaft 40 is caused to rotate in the direction of the arrow in FIGURE 1, it carries radial arm 44 out of engagement with switch 66 and permits the switch 66 to open. Switch 66 is coupled through leads 68 and 70 to the control circuit of FIGURE 3 in a manner to be more particularly described below.
Supported above the cradle portion 18 is a solenoid coil 72 controlling the movement of an armature 74 which is disposed in line with one of the buttons 20. A spring 76 is anchored on a first end to support 7 8 and is connected on a second end to the armature 74 so as to normally hold armature 74 out of engagement with the buttons 20. However, energization of solenoid coil 72 through lead 80 causes armature 74 to engage and depress one of the buttons 20. A projection 82 is carried by armature 74 and is engageable with the actuator of switch 84 when the solenoid coil 72 is not energized. Switch 84 is a normally open impulse type switch and operates by closing only momentarily when its actuator is depressed. Accordingly, it is only when armature 74 is being drawn out of engagement with one of the buttons 20 by spring 76 after deenergization of solenoid coil 72 that switch 84 is momentarily closed. Loads 86 and 88 connect switch 84 in the circuit of FIGURE 3.
Reference is now made to FIGURE 2 wherein a fragmentary portion of a storage tape, here shown as a paper tape 90, is illustrated. The paper tape 90 has telephone numbers coded thereon, the code being discernible by a paper tape reader 92 into which the tape 90 is fed. Within the tape reader 92 is a tape advance solenoid 94 (FIGURE 3) which advances the tape 90 by one position each time it is pulsed. A telephone number, according to the previously indicated code, can be represented on the paper tape 90 by apertures in appropriate tracks therein. For example, assume it is desired that the number MAin 1-2345 be dialed. Extending longitudinally along the tape 90 are tracks #1, #2, #3, #4 and #5. The length of the tape is divided into sections with each section including coded information constituting one telephone number. Eight positions are defined within each section, seven of these positions constituting the digits of a conventional type telephone number and the eighth position constituting an end of number mark. According to the previously suggested code, M, the first letter of the exchange MAin, is represented by apertures in tracks #2 and #3 inasmuch as it is identical on the tele phone dial to the digit 6. The letter A, constituting the second letter of the exchange MAin on the telephone dial is identical to the digit 2 and accordingly is represented by an aperture in track #2 of the tape. Likewise, the remaining digits of the telephone number are represented on the paper in the manner illustrated in FIGURE 2, according to the code previously described.
The tape reader 92 includes read heads (not shown) associated with each of the tape tracks. Each of the read heads in turn controls the normally open switches 96, 98, 101i, 102, and 104 of FIGURE 3 such that when an aperture appears in the appropriate tape track in the digit position under the read head the normally open switch controlled by that read head is caused to close.
Attention is now called to the control circuit of FIG- URE 3 for a description of the electrical interconnections between the various components mentioned and for an operational explanation of the invention. A DC. source 106, grounded at terminal 108, is provided. A push button impulse type switch 110 is connected between the source 106 and the solenoid coil 72. Assuming dial 12 is in its rest position, in order to start the dialing sequence, push button switch 110 is manually depressed thereby momentarily energizing solenoid coil 72 and causing armature 74 to depress one of the telephone buttons 20 so as to ready the telephone 10 for dialing. As previously noted, upon deenergization of the solenoid coil 72 switch 84 is momentarily closed and as a consequence thereof set coil 112 of latching relay 114 is energized. This in turn closes switch 116 which connects the DC source 106 through the closed contacts of switches 66 and 120 to the tape reader tape advance coil 94 causing tape to advance one position with respect to the read head. Assuming that the letter M is coded in position #1, the switches 98 and controlled by the read heads associated with tracks #2 and #3 of the tape 90 will close. In addition to this action, when switch 116 closes slow operating clutch control relay coil 118 is energized causing, after a short time delay, normally closed switch 120 to open and normally open switches 122 and 124 to close. Inasmuch as switch 122 is connected between source 106 and clutch coil 32, the clutch coil 32 is energized and consequently draws clutch plate 38 into engagement therewith. As a consequence, shaft 40 is caused to rotate in the direction of the arrow in FIGURE I carrying with it coded plate 42 and dial 12. As dial 12 begins to rotate, radial arm 44 moves out of engagement with normally open switch 66 permitting the switch to open. However the clutch control relay coil 118 initially energized through switch 66, remains energized inasmuch as a path to the DC. source 106 exists through switch 124, and in the present case, the parallel paths constituting switches 60 and 98, and switches 62 and 100. When the shaft 40 rotates sufliciently to carry radial position #6 on the coded plate 42 to a position between the light source 46 and the photocells, photocells 52 and 54 are energized and as a consequence thereof, switches 60 and 62 are caused to open. This action deenergizes relay coil 118 and accordingly switches 122 and 124 open and switch 120 closes. The opening of switch 122 deenergizes clutch coil 32 so as to disengage clutch plate 38 therefrom. The dial is therefore permitted to rotate in a counter clockwise direction to its rest position carrying with it the shaft 40. When the dial returns to its rest position, the radial arm 44 engages the actuator of normally open switch 66 and causes it to close. Inasmuch as the set coil of the latching relay 114 is still energized so as to maintain switch 116 closed, the advance coil 94 is again pulsed through closed switches 66 and 120 to cause the tape 90 to advance so that position #2 moves beneath the tape reader read head. Inasmuch as the letter A is coded in this position, an aperture appears in t-ape track #2 and accordingly switch 955 is caused to close. After a short time delay, relay coil 118 causes switch 120 to open and switches 122 and 124 to close. This action energizes clutch coil 32 and rotation of shaft 40 is again initiated consequently permitting switch 66 to open. A path to coil 113 is maintained however through switches 60 and 93. When the coded plate 42 moves to a position such that radial position #2 thereof is between the light source and the photocells, photocell 52 is energized opening switch 60 and again deenergizing relay coil 118 and clutch coil 32.
The above sequence continues until the seven digits constituting the telephone number are dialed. The tape 90 then advances so that position #8 thereof moves beneath the tape reader read head. Consequently, switch 104 controlled by the read head associated with tape #5 closes, coupling the DC. source 106 through time delay means 139 to the playback unit 24. In a modest system, time delay means 130 may comprise a fixed time delay which serves the purpose of allowing time for the dialed telephone to ring for a desired interval (e.g., three rings) before operation of the playback unit 24 is initiated. In a more sophisticated system, the time delay means 130 could be made responsive to the sound of the ring as heard in the handset of the dialing telephone 10 so that operation of the playback unit 24 is initiated when the ringing stops meaning that a party has answered the dialed telephone. Of course, in order to prevent the system from stalling due to the fact that the dialed telephone may never be answered, a maximum number of rings could be tolerated before the playback unit 24 is caused to operate in any event. As previously pointed out, the speaker 23 of the playback unit 24 is disposed in close proximity to the transmitting end 16 of the handset 14 of the dialing telephone 10.
Inasmuch as it is desired to repeat the same prerecorded message to each number dialed, it is contemplated that the playback unit 24 will utilize an endless tape whose playback operation is repeated for each telephone number. Recorded on the endless tape at the end of the message is an audio beep. A resonant reed relay 134 is responsive to the audio beep and controls switch 136 which is connected between D.C. source 106 and solenoid coil 72. Switch 136 is of the normally open impulse type such that it closes only momentarily upon energization of the resonant reed relay 134. Closure of the switch 136 energizes solenoid coil 72 which causes armature 74 to engage telephone button 20 to again ready the telephone 10 for dialing. It should be noted that when switch 104 closes to initiate operation of the playback unit 24 through the time delay means 131 it also energizes reset coil 113 of latching relay 114. This action in turn opened switch 116. However, deenergization of solenoid coil 72 momentarily closes switch 84- to energize set coil 112 of latching relay 114- to close switch 116.
Although a preferred embodiment of the invention has been disclosed herein, numerous modifications falling within the true scope of the invention as claimed may occur to those skilled in the art. For example only, in lieu of the light source 47 and photocells 50, 52, 54, 56 used with apertured plate 42, the plate could be provided with projections capable of directly actuating switches 58, 60, 62, 64 which can be disposed immediately adjacent thereto. Alternatively, the plate may be provided with a magnetic coating enabling magnetic recording techniques to be utilized to store the appropriate code thereon. In this latter case of course, the photo cells would be replaced by magnetic read heads. It will in addition also be realized that the four binary code used herein has been chosen for exemplary purposes only innumerable other codes would serve equally as well.
Similarly, the memory device herein described as a paper tape could in fact comprise a disc, drum or any other of several well known memory devices. In addition, the prerecorded message need not. be carried on magnetic tape but any means capable of carrying audio information would suffice. In any event, the audio beep and resonant reed relay 134 responsive thereto could be replaced by a conductive area on the tape, such as silver or the like, adapted to bridge a pair of normally open contacts upon the completion of a message to energize a conventional relay coil to in turn close switch 136.
Further, it is pointed out that the apparatus herein can be employed to receive messages as well as send messages by merely substituting a recording unit for playback unit 24- and positioning it proximate to the receiving end of handset 14.
From the foregoing it should be appreciated that a system and apparatus has been provided for automatically successively dialing a plurality of telephone numbers and delivering a prerecorded message to each number so dialed. The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the true scope of the invention as claimed.
