Title: Method to route an incoming call, telecommunication terminal, and destination terminal selection arrangement
Inventor: PETERS MARCO JOHANNES HUBERTUS
IPC: H04M7/12
Filed: 1999-12-20
Abstract: If a terminal (MOB_T) receives an incoming call and this receiving terminal (MOB_T) is not suitable to handle this incoming call, the receiving terminal (MOB_T) detects the service type of the incoming call, and notifies this service type to a destination terminal selecting arrangement (PRES_GATH). The destination terminal selecting arrangement (PRES_GATH) registers the presence and capabilities of all terminals (FAX_T, BB_T, MOB_T) within a certain area, and upon receipt of the service type of the incoming call selects the most suitable terminal (FAX_T) within the area of the receiving terminal (MOB_T) to handle the call. The destination terminal selecting arrangement (PRES_GATH) thereupon notifies the address of this most suitable terminal (FAX_T) to the receiving terminal (MOB_T) so that the receiving terminal (MOB_T) can forward the incoming call to the most suitable terminal (FAX_T).

Title: Method of controlling basis weight profile using multi-layer consistency dilution
Inventor: VANDEN HEUVEL ROBERT THOMAS
IPC: D21F7/06
Filed: 2000-01-11
Abstract: The stock approach piping to a multi-layered headbox can be modified to include a dilution water header that independently supplies dilution water, such as whitewater, to multiple CD segments or zones of the tube bank which supply stock to each layer. The CD basis weight profile of the final sheet is monitored and, in response to the measured CD profile, dilution water flow is increased or decreased to those tube bank segments that need their consistency altered. By selectively controlling the basis weight of distinct segments of the CD profile for each layer, a more uniform sheet can be produced.

Title: System and method for two sided sheet treating
Inventor: SOUDELIER EARL
IPC: D21H11/04
Filed: 2000-01-14
Abstract: A system and a method for coating two sides of a laminate material is disclosed in which one side of the laminate material is coated with one substance and the second side is coated with a similar or different substance. Reverse roll coating may be used to coat the two surfaces of the sheet of laminate material. The method described is particularly suited for applying a substance providing balancing characteristics desirable in the end product to one side of the laminate material and applying a substance providing other characteristics desirable in the end product to the other side of the laminate material. For example, a balancing substance may be applied on one side of a kraft paper sheet and a substance providing structural bonding applied to the other side, thereby eliminating the need to use a discrete balancing sheet in a laminate. The kraft sheet thus coated may be used to form a laminate panel that may be applied on an exterior wall, an interior wall, siding, a roof top, a facade boarding, a counter top, a table top or a work top.

Patent CA-2297533-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JENNER JULIETTE
IPC: B42D9/00
Filed: 2000-02-03
Abstract: The present invention concerns itself with the evolutionary quality of implement holders and bookmarks.   While an implement holder can hold an implement, an evolved implement holder can, lets say, recharge the disposable or removable implement it releasably holds until which time one decides to assemble the implement holder into a permanent unit. The Pencil Head Doll, one of its manifestations, is a pencil affixed to a head. The pencil and head assembly is held releasably by its mate body assembly. It can optionally be assembled to form a permanent doll unit once the pencil is worn down, thereby evolving from a pencil head doll to a permanent doll unit. To further evolve this unit, the information one writes with the implement can be remotely transmitted to the writer, lets say, to provide the user with optimal information gathering not only on the conscious but the subconcious levels of the mind as well. It is what it is,an implement holder and all of that abstractivity that it implies to the mind; but it can be transformed into a permanent unit at some time as can the information it helps the user to acquire and catalog, if even ~~  its simplest form shown.   Likewise, while the improved bookmark can be at once and primarily a bookmark, that can hold an implement, be balanced and have many utilities and functions,it too can have not only the evolutions aforementioned, it can further evolve from bookmarking a page to bookmarking individual words which can be remotely transmitted to the reader to help in the acquistion and the bookmarking of information gathering, if teaching it the object or inventions.

Title: Synthesis of polynucleotides having random sequences
Inventor: NEUNER PHILIPPE
IPC: C07H21/00
Filed: 1998-10-28
Abstract: Subject of this invention is a process for the chemical synthesis of polynucleotides having totally or partially random sequences, based on the utilization, as synthesis monomer units for the random sequence part, or presynthetized mononucleotides and dinucleotides. Said synthesis is carried out on separate supports, so that on each of those supports is alternated at least one reaction cycle wherein a mixture of said dinucleotides is bound, with at least one reaction cycle wherein a mononucleotide is bound, and that in a preferred embodiment at the end of the n cycles required for a colon synthesis, the supports are mixed and then redivided into one or more reaction containers. The resulting polynucleotides are such that, for the random sequence part, each trinucleotide unit is fit to match only a limited number of colons, predefined for each unity in number and sequence, and the genetic code degeneracy effects can thus be eliminated. Figure 1 shows the chemical structure of the dinucleotides utilized as monomer units for the synthesis of colons forming the final sequence.

Title: Appliance switching mechanism and method
Inventor: HUGGLER PETER
IPC: A47J37/08
Filed: 2000-05-05
Abstract: A switching mechanism is utilized in a heating appliance, such as a toaster, that includes a bread support that supports a food item to insert and remove the food item from a cooking cavity of the appliance. The appliance includes an electronic circuit that controls operation during a heating cycle. The switching mechanism includes a switch having a first terminal adapted to receive a power signal and a second terminal coupled to the electronic circuit. The switch operates responsive to an applied switching force to couple the first terminal to the second terminal and thereby apply power to the electronic circuit. A switch actuator has a first end, a second end, and a retaining member near the second end. The second end is attached to the appliance to rotate about an axis. The switch actuator operates responsive to a force being applied to the bread support to rotate about the axis to a first position and apply the switching force to the switch so power is applied to the electronic circuit. A retaining force is applied to the first end of the actuator to secure the actuator in the first position responsive to power being applied to the electronic circuit and the retaining member engages the bread support to hold the bread support with the food item positioned in the cooking cavity when the actuator is in the first position. The switch actuator operates responsive to the retaining force being removed to rotate about the axis to remove the switching force and thereby remove power from the electronic circuit to terminate the heating cycle. Various other aspects of the present invention are directed, for example, to contacts formed on a printed circuit board and switch blades formed separate from the printed circuit board, heat-staking of the switch blades, and crimp details on the switch blades that eliminates the need for wire terminals.

Filed: 1999-01-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatic area code dialing includes a processor, software, and a memory for storing telephone numbers. At a dial tone, a caller dials a ten-digit number. The processor sends an area code dial request to the caller for future calls. The caller can confirm the request of the dialed number as a frequently-dialed number. The processor stores the number as a seven-digit portion and an area code portion. On subsequent calls to only the seven-digit portion of the number, the processor compares the seven-digit number to a group of stored numbers. If a match is found, the processor transmits both the seven-digit number and its corresponding area code.
