Granted: 1998-08-04
Abstract: In a computer network having a plurality of interconnected terminals and a shared memory device for storing digital data, a message handling system for sending and retrieving both voice and text messages over the computer network. A voice message is input either through a phone associated with one of the computer terminals or via a remote phone. The voice message is converted into a digital voice file which is stored on the shared memory device corresponding to the intended recipient's mailbox. Thereby, one mailbox can contain both voice and text messages. The same message handling mechanism is used for handling both voice and text messages. A list of the messages currently stored for each mailbox can be pulled for display by their respective terminals. A selected voice message may be selected for playback over the phone. Likewise, a text message may be selected for display by the terminal. Call answering and remote playback functions are also provided.

Abstract: Bars of titanium alloys suited for the manufacture of engine valves are mass-producible while maintaining good configurational and dimensional accuracies throughout the valve fabricating process and the wear-resistance imparting processes by surface oxidizing and nitriding. The alloys are of the .alpha.+.beta. type whose microstructure consists of any of an acicular .alpha.-phase consisting of acicular .alpha. crystals having a width of not smaller than 1 µm, an acicular .alpha.-phase consisting of acicular .alpha. crystals having a width of not smaller than 1 µm and dispersed with equiaxed .alpha. crystals, and an equiaxed .alpha.-phase consisting of a crystals whose diameter is not smaller than 6 µm. Their microstructure may also include one in which the diameter of the pre-.beta. crystals in the acicular .alpha.-phase is not larger than 300 µm and the width of the acicular a crystals is not smaller than 1 µm and not larger than 4 µm.      Selection of these alloys assures very efficient manufacture.

Title: Method of transmitting control signals and pbx system
Inventor: NISHIDA TOSHIO
IPC: H04M3/00
Filed: 1995-07-12
Granted: 1999-08-31
Abstract: A large amount of control information is transmitted at high speed to a telephone terminal without changing the transfer capacity of a current control channel. When a call is terminated by any of the extension terminals, the extension terminal sends, for example, a lamp control signal to a extension terminal via D channel thereafter, if a large amount of display control signals are to be transmitted to the extension terminal, after sending the display control signal to the extension line, a central controller causes the extension line to send a B channel seizing signal to the extension terminal via D channel. This causes paths of the B channel(s) to be so changed that both the controllers within the extension line and the extension terminal are accessible to the B channel(s).  Subsequently, the extension line can transmit the display control signals at high speed to the extension terminal via B channel(s). Thus, the extension terminal displays on the display device the display control signals received through the B channel(s).

Abstract: An adjustable prosthetic device for medializing a paralyzed vocal cord. The device includes a guiding sleeve which defines a channel. The channel is closed at one end thereof by a base wall. The guiding sleeve is configured and sized so as to be insertable in a window formed in the thyroid cartilage of a patient. A biasing block is slidably inserted in the channel. The biasing block is movable between a retracted position wherein the biasing block is in a substantially proximal relationship relatively to the base wall, and a protracted position wherein the biasing block is in a substantially spaced relationship relatively to the base wall. An adjustment screw is provided for moving the biasing block between its protracted and retracted positions. The adjustment screw is rotatably attached to the sleeve base wall and is threadaly attached to the biasing block. A pair of substantially "Y"-shaped anchoring structures extends integrally and substantially outwardly from the opposed end peripheral edges of the base wall. Each anchoring structure includes a substantially annular-shaped main fixing ring and a pair of substantially annular-shaped auxiliary fixing rings. The auxiliary fixing rings are substantially symmetrically disposed relatively to the main fixing ring. The main fixing ring and the auxiliary fixing rings are adapted to receive a corresponding set of anchoring screws for fixing the device on the thyroid cartilage of the patient.
