Patent CA-2268555-C (CA)
Title: Dynamic call vectoring
Inventor: BURRITT DAVID R
IPC: H04M3/00
Filed: 1999-04-12
Granted: 2002-09-17
Abstract: A telecommunications switching system such as a private branch exchange (100) processes calls as follows. When it receives (200) a call associated with an individual vector directory number (VDN), the switching system invokes conventional vectoring (107) and commences processing the call by executing (202) the VDN's call-processing vector. However, when it encounters (206) a "wait" vector command in the executing vector, the switching system sends (208) a notice of the call and the call's identity to an external source of vectors, such as an expert system implemented on an adjunct processor (110).      This notice functions as a request for another call-processing vector for the call. The expert system obtains (252-256) information relevant to processing of the call from the switching system and from external databases (111-112), and based on that information dynamically creates (258) a new call-processing vector for the call, in real time. When the switching system receives (220) this new vector, it replaces (222) the old vector with the new vector and continues processing of the call by restarting (224) vector processing and executing (202) the new vector.     The switching system may obtain yet additional vectors for processing this call in the same manner as it obtained the second vector. The switching system may also obtain a new vector from the external source for each newly-received call.

Abstract: A grain dryer has a horizontal plenum connected to a source of heated forced air and has at least one generally perforated wall. A substantially enclosed grain conduit extends along the plenum and has one of its sidewalls being the perforated wall of the plenum. The grain conduit has upper and lower ends to receive and discharge, respectively, a quantity of grain to be dried by heat conveyed to the grain through the perforated wall of the plenum.  The lower end of the grain conduit defines an opening generally dwelling in a substantially vertical plane and having upper and lower discharge ports, separated by a plate extending across the central portion thereof to close the flow of grain therethrough. Generally horizontal upper and lower feed rolls are located in the grain conduit adjacent each of the upper and lower ports, respectively, to induce flow of grain out of the upper and lower ports, with the feed roll adjacent the upper port serving to accelerate the discharge of a layer of hotter grain adjacent the vertical wall of the grain conduit. A flange extends inwardly from the plate in spaced relation to the vertical wall of the grain conduit to guide a layer of hotter grain adjacent to the wall out of the grain conduit.

Abstract: A method for determining a correction factor for use in analysing the concentration of a gas in a liquid is described. The correction factor is determined by measuring the output concentration of the gas in the liquid as the gases saturation limit in that liquid. The method is useful with gas permeable membrane technology to measure the concentration of the gas in the liquid. The method includes applying a correction factor to give the true concentration of gas in the liquid taking into account both that gas in solution in the liquid and that amount of gas present as entrained bubbles in the liquid.

Abstract: A writing implement sterilization apparatus having ultraviolet sterilization in an enclosed container to kill bacteria and other disease carrying organisms. The invention comprises a horizontal or vertical container into which a user places pens, pencils, or other writing implements to be sterilized. An ultraviolet source within the container irradiates the writing implement thereby killing any microorganisms that might reside on the writing implements.      Ultraviolet radiation below 200 nm can also be used thereby creating ozone gas having germicidal characteristics. The ozone gas is circulating in and around the writing implements thereby providing further sterilization together with the ultraviolet radiation. An interlocking switch turns the UV source off when the container is opened.

Abstract: L'invention concerne l'augmentation de la conduction électrique et de la contractilité par stimulation biphasée de tissus musculaires. Une première phase de stimulation présente une première polarité, amplitude et durée de phase. On administre la première phase de stimulation, agissant comme un mécanisme de conditionnement, à une amplitude ne dépassant pas un seuil secondaire maximal. Une deuxième phase de stimulation présente une deuxième polarité, amplitude et durée. Les deux phases sont appliquées de manière séquentielle. Contrairement à une idée répandue, on applique une stimulation anodique comme première phase de stimulation puis une stimulation cathodique comme deuxième phase de stimulation. De cette façon, on améliore la conduction pulsatoire dans le muscle, ainsi que la contractilité. En outre, ce mode de stimulation biphasée réduit l'énergie électrique nécessaire pour obtenir la contraction. De plus, la première phase de stimulation de conditionnement réduit le seuil de stimulation en réduisant la quantité de courant électrique nécessaire dans la deuxième phase pour obtenir la contraction. Les tissus musculaires concernés par la présente invention sont ceux de muscles squelettiques (strié), du muscle cardiaque et de muscles lisses.
