Patent GB-2368227-B (GB)
Title: Contact center
Inventor: HAWKES RYCHARDE JEFFERY
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 2000-10-17
Granted: 2003-12-10
Abstract: A contact center uses a service system to establish communication over a data network, such as the internet, between customer endpoint systems and the endpoint systems of customer service representatives, CSRs, of the contact center. The service system establishes communication between endpoint systems by joining them to an appropriate communication session with an associated transport mechanism that allows the exchange of data across the network between the joined endpoint systems. For each communication session, a respective service instance and session instance are created. The service instance provides service specific behaviour while the session instance provides generic operations for adding and removing endpoint systems to the communication session. By specifying different service-specific behaviors, a range of corresponding customer services can be offered.

Title: Process for producing biologically active plasminogen activator
Inventor: ARATHOON WILLIAM R
IPC: C12N9/48
Filed: 1987-06-05
Granted: 1991-02-27
Abstract: Biologically active human tissue-type plasminogen activator is produced in a host cell culture by removing from the medium of the culture all medium components which are detrimental to recovery and activity of the plasminogen activator. For example, cross filtration may be used to carry out medium exchange during culture, or the detrimental components may be removed prior to culturing. The cells retain their expression capability after exclusion of the harmful substances so that production of active plasminogen activator can be effected.

Filed: 1990-10-18
Granted: 1993-05-12
Abstract: Appts. for producing a co-extruded plastics decorative strip, suitable for automotive trim, consists of a co-extrusion die in which a decorative layer is extruded on the upper surface of a base strip. The decorative layer is extruded in a thickness which is constant along the extrusion length but which varies across its width, thus producing a decorative variation of colour intensity. The thickness variation is produced by the die profile aided by a flow restrictor dam in the coloured material flow path. - A generally conventional thermoplastics co-extrusion die is fed by a first extruder to produce a base strip (11), typically of PVC or polyolefin, which may opt. be recycled material. The strip proceeds in the soft state to a directly communicating die (31) where a second extruder feeds a coloured like material through a channel (38) to a feed chamber (40), consisting of an upper and lower passage (42, 43), sepd. by a flow restrictor dam (44) whose surface is spaced pref. by 0.4 mm from the die plate thus allowing a small flow of coloured material from the upper to the lower passage. The dam (44) is bypassed by first and second feed channels (48, 49) through which the major flow occurs. In co-operation with a suitably shaped die plate, a layer of coloured plastic of variable thickness is co-extruded on the surface of the still soft base strip (11) and around its edges (15, 16) where it melt bonds. The strip proceeds conventionally to takeoff and cooling. In other embodiments, various surface profiles are envisaged for the strip.

Title: Sound reproduction systems
Inventor: NELSON PHILIP ARTHUR
IPC: H04S7/00
Filed: 1993-07-05
Granted: 1997-01-22
Abstract: An algorithm is described for sparsely updating the filter coefficients of an adaptive filter of an adaptive audio system to facilitate a high sampling rate without excessive processing capacity. Computer simulations are used to illustrate the potential for using an inverse filter matrix to manipulate the position of stereophonic images. The possibilities suggested could be used in conjunction with existing stereophonic recordings in order to improve stereophonic imaging in situations where the relative locations of loudspeakers and listener are constrained to be non-ideal. In one arrangement, real sound sources (S1, S2) provide to the listener the impression that the sources are at more widely-spaced positions (V1, V2). In another arrangement, employing four sound sources (S1, S2, S3, S4) the impression is created at two listener locations (M1, M2; M3, M4) that the sound is coming from a pair of sound sources positioned symmetrically of those listener locations. <IMAGE>
