Title: Customer information control system and method in a loosely coupled parallel processing environment
Inventor: PHILLIPS MARK
IPC: G06F15/16
Filed: 1996-05-21
Abstract: In summary, the present invention is a distributed computer system having a plurality of end user terminals and a plurality of loosely coupled server computers that share no resources with each other. A  multiplicity of user application processes are distributed over the server computers.  A communication interface or router transmits data between the end user terminals and a transaction router process, which executes on one of the server computers.  The transaction router process initiates execution of transaction by ones of the  user  application processes based on data received from the end user terminals.  A link manager process selects application processes to execute the applications based on computational load distribution criteria, so as to distribute computational load as evenly as possible over the server computers, thereby maximizing the throughput and responsiveness of the system.  A file system, located on at least one of said server computers, provides access to stored files and database tables to all of the user application  processes without regard to which server computer each such user application  processes is executed on.  The transaction router process includes a data structure for indicating transactions  waiting tostart and for initiating execution of ones of the waiting transactions by ones of the user application  processes when associated  start criteria are satisfiedand user transaction processes are available.

Patent CA-2184917-A1 (CA)
Title: Dryer Drum Coater Having Vented Outer Shell for VOC/NOx Reduction
Inventor: MILSTEAD JOHN
IPC: F26B11/04
Filed: 1995-03-06
Abstract: A dryer drum coater (110) reduces blue smoke emissions by evacuating the blue smoke from the dryer drum coater independently of the exhaust of combustion products. The blue smoke, produced when heated and dried aggregate is mixed with other asphaltic products such as RAP or liquid asphalt, is preferably evacuated from a vapor outlet (216) formed remote from the exhaust products outlet of the coater and adjacent the heated and dried aggregate inlet of the mixing chamber. Evacuating the blue smoke at this location obviates the need to separate the blue smoke from the combustion products and also prevents the introduction of excess oxygen into the combustion zone of the dryer drum coater. In a particularly preferred arrangement, the evacuated blue smoke is fed directly to the combustion air inlet of the coater's burner (122) blower and is thereby incinerated.

Patent CA-2201192-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CONCEPCION CRONDER
IPC: H04M3/533
Filed: 1997-03-27
Abstract: An architecturally and cost efficient method and system are disclosed for accessing a voice messaging platform. An exemplary method for accessing the platform includes: (1) forwarding a telephone call to the platform over foreign exchange lines when the telephone call involves a caller who, upon call initiation to a called party subscriber, encountered a busy or ring-no-answer condition, so that the caller may leave a message for the called party in the called party's mailbox; and (2) routing a telephone call to the platform over a trunk group local to the platform when the telephone call involves a caller-subscriber initiating a telephone call directly to the platform to access his/her mailbox to retrieve messages, administer greetings, and/or send voice messages to other subscribers. For calls forwarded over foreign exchange lines, the platform is provided with a wide variety of call information transmitted via an SMDI link. For direct calls, calls are routed to the trunk group via an LEC network capable of transmitting a calling party number associated with each call and thus, the platform is provided with the only call information necessary to service such calls - namely, a calling party number. As such, direct traffic to the platform is aggregated through the end office local to the platform and economies of scale are achieved. Moreover, all subscribers to the voice messaging service, regardless of their geographic location, can dial the same number to access the voice messaging platform.

Title: Method and apparatus for monitoring selected telecommunications sessions in an intelligent switched telephone network
Inventor: O'BRIEN WILLIAM G
IPC: H04M3/22
Filed: 1997-06-27
Abstract: A method,  system and  apparatus  for  the  transparent monitoring of  selected telecommunications  sessions  in  an intelligent switched telephone network is described.   The method  involves  conditioning  the  network  to  enable  the monitoring of all  telecommunications  sessions  originating from or terminating to any selected subscriber address.  The network  is  conditioned by the  installation  of monitored trunks with translation tables, linksets and routesets which route all calls to be monitored through the monitored trunk groups.    After  the  network  has  been  conditioned,  call monitoring can be accomplished with minimal datafill changes to the translation tables of the telephone switching system that serves the subscriber address.   The monitored trunk groups are preferably loop-back trunk groups, but they may be dedicated inter-office trunk groups as well.  It is also possible to designate a central switching point to monitor calls for a plurality of satellite switching points.   The advantage  is  a  flexible,  cost-effective  call  monitoring system that produces no echo, ping or noise on the monitored line.  The calls are completed without perceptible delay and there is no known method or equipment  for detecting the monitoring equipment from either end of the call connection.
