A computer inputed with a data base of potential call recipients and having an EIA RS-232 Data Communication Equipment interface drives an auto-call unit or dialer through a format conversion device to be compatible with the dialer EIA RS-366 automatic calling equipment interface. A line signalling device monitors the dial stream for conference connection commands and establishes a voice connection between the computer, an external or remote station and an internal or local extension upon receip...

Novel compositions of matter herein are claimed and may be represented by the general formula CuA.L, where CuA is a Cu(I) salt of medium to strong Bronsted acids and L is a ligand chosen from a variety of structural classes including phosphines, phosphites, phosphine sulfides, phosphine oxides, thiophosphates, thioureas or arsines. These compositions are liquid at ambient conditions and are useful for complexing a variety of complexible organic compounds such as olefins, diolefins, allenes, acet...

A method and apparatus for reducing storage requirements for display data on a computer system. Data objects to be displayed are organized into display lists and each data object includes an object type, such as text, graphic, and image. The data objects are rasterized into an uncompressed band buffer and divided into non-intersecting bitmap regions each identified with one or more object types. Each non-empty region is assigned a compression algorithm dependent upon the type of the region and s...

A crystal mounting structure for mounting a crystal plate having a plurality of electrodes on major surfaces thereof assembled by means of a rectangular conductive lead frame having a plurality of inwardly extending mounting members and a frame of insulating material defining a central aperture formed with the mounting members embedded therein for rigid support of the crystal plate and electrical connection thereto. A number of rigid conductive mounting members extend through the insulating mate...
