Title: Selection of a link in a received message for speaking reply, which is converted into text form for delivery
Inventor: DOULTON DANIEL MICHAEL
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2008-01-09
Abstract: A link, called an X-Link~ and is placed in a message (SMS, MMS, email etc) that is sent to a user and displayed on their device (e.g. mobile telephone). When the link is selecte'd by the user, it connects the user's device to a conversion system, enabling the user to speak a reply which is then converted to a text based reply message; the reply message is then sent to the original message sender (and/or another appropriate recipient). This approach enables a text message to be responded to by voice: it is an example of an asymmetric communication. There are many circumstances where this approach is very useful - for example if the message is a SMS and the recipient does not know how to respond using SMS, or is in an environment where it is difficult (perhaps when walking or driving).

Abstract: The invention relates to the fabrication of integrated circuits in general, and notably the circuits of image sensors intended to form the electronic core of photographic apparatus or cameras. It is sometimes desired to accurately position an image sensor chip (12) with respect to the optical axis of a camera. For this purpose, the chip is first aligned with respect to the package (10) and then the package is aligned with respect to the optical system. The alignment of the chip with respect to the package is done optically. The alignment of the package with respect to the system is done mechanically with respect to the edges of the package. According to the invention, provision is made for optical marks (30) to be provided on the package, these marks each having an edge aligned with a lateral edge of the package, so as to minimize the positioning errors which would be due to inaccurate positioning of the chip with respect to the edges of the package.

Abstract: An Intermodal container, also known as an ISO Ocean Freight Container is suitable for the dual purposes of bio-containment and also Intermodal shipping. Provision is made for the introduction of water, oxygen or other liquids or gasses to be treated into the container, for exit of liquids or gasses generated or converted in the container, and for the monitoring of biological processes occurring within the container, all in a liquid impervious container. Improved air ducts and flow paths are provided, while the effects of shrinkage and channeling are reduced, through a strategically placed and relative percentage of openings through the floor. Further improvements in air distribution are achieved by an elimination or substantial reduction in percentage of opening through the floor in areas immediately adjacent to the container side walls. The flooring incorporates a self-cleaning hole design which increases in diameter with increasing distance from the container contents. The increases in diameter may be achieved either through smooth and continuous increases, or through discontinuous increments, though the objective regardless of the approach is to ensure that the holes do not clog either when the container is filled with matter, or when vibrated and jolted during handling and transport.
