Title: Voice processing system
Inventor: BOWATER RONALD JOHN
IPC: H04Q3/545
Filed: 1997-09-19
Abstract: A voice processing system 30 is connected to a switch 20 via multiple telephone lines 25, and provides a set of line objects 335, each line object being associated with one of the physical telephone lines. The line object allows a demarcation to be made between the underlying voice processing system software 335, and external business applications 310. Thus a line object supports a set of methods such as Get DTMF Tone, Play Audio, Answer Call, and End Call, to allow the external business applications 310 to perform desired operations on a telephone line. These methods are invoked via a set of corresponding IVR action objects 320, which in turn are integrated into the business application. The business application itself, and its IVR actions, regard the line objects effectively as servers to provide IVR functionality. The business application may therefore run partially or completely on a separate physical machine from the IVR system itself.

Title: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance logging with azimuthal resolution
Inventor: SEZGINER ABDURRAHMAN
IPC: G01V3/32
Filed: 1998-06-23
Abstract: An NMR bore logging tool which is designed for measurement while drilling and which rotates with the drill bit. The probe produces static and RF magnetic fields which are rotationally invariant. The RF receiving antenna comprises at least one arcuate segment 210 for receiving signals from different sectors of the surrounding region of interest. Azimuthal resolution is achieved by determining the rotational orientation of the tool from accelerometer and / or magnetometer measurements to find thetool's azimuth reference with respect to an Earth reference as a function of time. The Earth reference may be the geomagnetic or gravitational field. Signals are received from each antenna segment to produce an azimuthally resolved output with respect to the Earth reference. This technique may be used for directional drilling.

Patent GB-2347596-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for estimating jitter in real time protocol encapsulated voice packet data
Inventor: WOOD ROBERT GEOFFREY
IPC: H04L1/20
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: Jitter in the arrival time of voice packets received over packet data networks running the Internet Protocol is calculated using hardware. The apparatus is capable of processing orders of magnitude more packetized voice data than prior software implementations. A time stamp in the form of a 32 bit counter value is inserted into each packet when it is transmitted, and a counter at the receiver provides a receive time stamp when the packet is received. The interarrival jitter is calculated from the difference in packet spacing at the receiver as compared with the sender, for a pair of packets. An integer implementation is described. The registers and other hardware elements may be implemented in a memory array and are controlled by a state machine.
