Patent CA-2200120-C (CA)
Inventor: HARRIS PHILLIP E
IPC: H04L12/66
Filed: 1997-03-17
Granted: 2000-10-03
Abstract: In a telecommunications system (8) that comprises communications endpoints (14-15), communications resources (18-20), a communications server (10) that includes a media manager (21), and a network (12) that interconnects them all, a first endpoint (14) provides the media manager with an offer of a connection to a second endpoint (15) that specifies attributes desired for the connection by the first endpoint. The media manager registers the request and forwards it to the second endpoint. When the second endpoint responds with an acceptance of the connectionthat specifies attributes desired for the connection by the second endpoint, the media manager compares the registered offer with the received acceptance to determine any resources that are needed to bridge any differences between their attributes and to effect the connection. The media manager then marshals any needed resources for the connection, sends a modified acceptance to any marshaled resource telling it the address of the second endpoint to connect to, sends a modified acceptance to the first endpoint that tells it the address of any marshaled resource, or of the second endpoint in the absence of any marshaled resource, to connect to, and leaves it up to theendpoints and marshaled resources to interact with the network to effect the connection through the network. The media manager can therefore provide centralized call control for substantially any network, and can treat all networks generically and leave it up to the endpoints to deal with the particulars of anyspecific network. Communication between multiple such telecommunications systems (8, 9) can also be effected thereby.

Abstract: A wine bottle closure (11) includes a gasket/stopper (25) which engages the neck of the bottle (10). Encasing the finish (17) and upper neck (19) of the bottle is a plastic outer closure cap (13), generally cylindrical, with a top center disc (15) which is adhered to the top of the stopper (25). A circle of frangible elements (61, 62) at the periphery of the disc provides for breakage of the disc away from the closure sleeve (16), causing it to remain with the stopper when the plastic cap is opened. Coarse, short-length threads (23) are formed on the outside o f the container neck, spaced appreciably below the finish, to be engaged by internal thread lugs (43) of the plastic cap. On initial unscrewing of the cap, the disc breaks away from the remainder of the cap. A small vertical clearance (66) is provided in the engagement between the internal c ap structure and the gasket/stopper, so that the cap does not begin to lift the gasket/stopper until static friction against the elastomeric gasket/stopper has been overcome.

Abstract: An integrated optics non linear coupler presents on a surface a first and a second waveguide (2, 3) coupled contradirectionally by means of a distributed feedback grating (10). The first waveguide (2) defines an input port (4) and a first output port (5) of the device (transmission output) and the second waveguide (3) defines a second output port (6) of the device (reflection output). By means of an optical control signal injected into the device together with an information signal, the device can be brought to conditions of non-linear operation, thus making the grating (10) switch from transmitting to reflecting behaviour or vice versa with respect to a given wavelength.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a device and method for use in tactile communications adaptable for use by anyone able to recognize messages written in a language known to them. The present invention uses a series of sequentially firing vibromechanical stimulators (46) vibrating against the skin or other suitably tactile sensitive area of the wearer. The vibromechanical stimulators (46) are arranged in a substantially two dimensional array (34) over the skin and are then triggered individually and in sequence, following a set of patterns representative of the symbols in the language recognizable to the wearer to tactually convey the message. The wearer cognitively perceives the tactual stimulation as a line or lines drawn on the skin or suitably tactile sensitive area that resemble the symbols used to communicate between the message sender and the wearer.
