Title: Country to domestic call intercept process (cip)
Inventor: MARCHAND DEAN
IPC: H04M17/00
Filed: 2000-12-18
Abstract: A call interception process for calling card calls originating from an international country (102) and terminating to high fraud domestic locations.  When a call is placed, the call is screened against a database (120) which keys on international originating country access numbers. If a match against the database (120) is found, the call is routed to a first level operator (125) for billing acount verification. If billing account verification passed, the call interception process automatically overrides the calling card from any future intercepts. If verification failed, the call interception process automatically places the calling card in a "LOCKED STATUS MODE" and terminates the call. As a result, subsequent calling card call attempts will be default to the first level operator. The process further limiting a number of subsequent calling card calls attempts from the originating terminating country (102) to domestic location. If the subsequent calling card call attempts exceeded the pre-determined limiting threshold, the call is routed to a second level operator (165) for caller identity verification.

Inventor: LAUKS IMANTS R
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2001-02-12
Abstract: A sample analyzing system includes at least one sensor located at least partially within a sample retaining area. In addition, the sensor has at least one edge defining a sample detection location. This sample detection location defines an area within which the sensor is capable of detecting a presence or an absence of the sample. The system analyzes sample data by first introducing the sample into the sample retaining area and then mixing a reagent with the sample to commence formation of a reagent product. After mixing and upon detecting the absence of the sample from the sample detection location by the at least one sensor, an edge of the sample is moved past an edge of the at least one sensor and into the sample detection location. Then, upon detecting the presence of the sample in the sample detection location by the at least one sensor, the edge of the sample is moved past the edge of the at least one sensor and out of the sample detection location. Additionally, between oscillations, data may be collected by one or more sensors. By repeating these steps, an accumulation of material on or about the at least one sensor may be prevented.
