Abstract: A system and method for establishing a direct connection through a multimedia-capable service network. Upon receiving at a network element serving a subscriber an indication to initiate a direct connect session involving the subscriber, a multimedia call engine is invoked to launch a call treatment application for the subscriber. A service profile associated with the subscriber is queried to determine an authorized destination and associated service options. A one-way or two-way direct connect session to the appropriate destination or destinations is commenced thereafter based on at least a portion of the applicable service profile options. <IMAGE>

IPC: G01S5/14

Abstract: A global positioning system (GPS) receiver has first circuitry for
receiving and processing pseudorandom sequences transmitted by a number
of GPS satellites. The first circuitry is configured to perform conventional
correlation operations on the received pseudorandom sequences to
determine pseudoranges from the GPS receiver to the GPS satellites. The
GPS receiver also includes second circuitry coupled to the first circuitry. The
second circuitry is configured to receive and process the pseudorandom
sequences during blockage conditions. The second circuitry processes the
pseudorandom sequences by digitizing and storing a predetermined record
length of the received sequences and then performing fast convolution
operations on the stored data to determine the pseudoranges. The GPS
receiver may have a common circuitry for receiving GPS signals from in view
satellites and downconverting the RF frequency of the received GPS signals
to an intermediate frequency (IF). The IF signals are split into two signal
paths, a first of which provides the conventional correlation processing to
calculate the pseudoranges. During blockage conditions, the IF signal is
passed to the second signal path wherein the IF signals are digitized and
stored in memory and later processed using the fast convolution operations to
provide the pseudoranges. Alternative arrangements for the two signal paths
include separate downconverters or shared digitizers. One embodiment
provides both signal paths on a single integrated circuit with shared circuitry
executing computer-readable instructions to perform GPS signal processing
appropriate to the reception conditions.

Abstract: A semiconductor circuit having a power supply voltage detection circuit to
detect a potential level of an external power supply voltage and to output a detection
signal depending on a comparison result with the potential level. A system control
circuit detects the detection signal, outputs a status signal and an interrupt signal,

Abstract: A recording medium having a spare area for defect
management and the management information of the spare
area, a spare area allocation method, and a defect
management method, are provided. When a primary spare
area allocated for slipping replacement and linear
replacement upon initialization, and a spare area
allocated for linear replacement after initialization are
insufficient, a supplementary spare area is allocated.
The sizes of the primary and supplementary spare areas are
determined by the number of defects generated upon
initialization. The information on the sizes of the spare
areas, and the remainder state information representing
the degree of use of the spare areas, are recorded, so
that the spare areas can be efficiently managed. Also, in
the defect management method, when an area that has
already been linearly replaced is allocated as the
supplementary spare area, defective blocks within the
allocated supplementary spare area are not used for linear
replacement, and the entries of a secondary defect list
(SDL) with respect to the defective blocks are not
changed.
