Title: Method and apparatus for supporting voice message services with automatic rebound in a wireless intelligent network
Inventor: CALABRESE ROBERT THOMAS
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 2002-03-22
Abstract: The present invention supports a voice messaging service in a wireless communications system. A subscriber accesses a voice messaging system (VMS) through a wireless device in order to retrieve voice messages that are deposited into the subscriber's voice mailbox. The subscriber may wish to return a call to a call sender. The call is established to the call sender's directory number through a serving mobile switching center (MSC) in concert with a service control point (SCP) and an intelligent peripheral (IP). The subscriber may return to the VMS so that the subscriber can resume the voice mail session. The subscriber ends the call or optionally enters a feature rebound code. The IP detects an associated call event and initiates a connection between the subscriber and the VMS. The IP notifies the SCP, causing the SCP to instruct the serving MSC to re-establish the connection between the subscriber and the VMS.

Title: Data compression apparatus and method therefor
Inventor: MANSBRIDGE JOHN
IPC: H04B10/508
Filed: 2000-06-22
Abstract: Routers for trunk telecommunication systems currently operate at 2.5Gb/s. Next generation routers will be required to switch 128 input data streams into 128 output data streams, each data stream being at a data rate of 10Gb/s. Current routers employ massively parallel electronic switches to route data at 1.25Gb/s. Such technology is reaching its limit and a new approach to high-speed switching is required. The present invention provides an appartus and method for enabling such high-speed switching by providing a data compression apparatus which comprises a pulsed chirped laser (226) coupled to a modulator (218, 220), the modulator (218, 220) being coupled to a compressor (228, 230). A chirped laser pulse having the duration of a data packet is mod-ulated with data received on an input channel and then passed through the compressor (228, 230) in order to generate a compressed modulated data pulse for high speed switching.

Title: Universal style coupling
Inventor: HOLST PETER A
IPC: F16D1/108
Filed: 2000-10-13
Abstract: A coupler (10) for connecting a drive shaft (12) to a driven member (14) and  accommodating a substantial misalignment between the drive shaft and the driven member, while minimizing audible noise and vibration. The coupling includes a hollow core nest element (18) having a plurality of slots (34) formed in one end, two substantially identical elongate body elements (16, 20), and a plurality of spring elements (38). Each elongate body element has  two ends, a first end being adapted to couple with either the drive shaft or  the driven member, and a second end that includes a plurality of posts (33) that engage the slots of the hollow core nest. An aperture in the hollow cor e nest is larger than the diameter of the elongate bodies, allowing for the components to move radially relative to each other to accommodate for any offset and misalignment between the longitudinal axes of the drive shaft and  the driven member, while the spring elements ensure that the components positively contact one another to reduce audible noise that is otherwise produced by loose fitting components. In one embodiment, a spring element (4 6) is integrally formed in the slots of the hollow core nest (18'), such that t he posts (22a, 24a) of the body elements are held in engagement with sides of t he slots (52) by the spring elements. This embodiment includes an end cap (40) that prevents the posts from becoming disengaged from the slots. Another embodiment employs helical coil springs (38) mounted externally around the hollow core nest.
