Title: Call establishment based on presence
Inventor: JOHN AJITA
IPC: H04M3/493
Filed: 2006-01-19
Abstract: An apparatus and methods are disclosed that enable a caller to specify a condition of availability for a return call when the caller is unable to reach the called user. A condition might indicate a time interval in which the caller is willing to accept a return call, a location, or some other constraints. In the illustrative embodiments, when a caller places a call and is unable to reach the called user, the caller is prompted via an interactive voice response (IVR) system for one or more conditions of availability for a return call. As soon as the called user's terminal becomes available, a software application checks whether the condition of availability is satisfied, and if so, establishes a call between the caller's terminal and the called user's terminal.

Abstract: L'ordinateur est devenu l'outil de prédilection en famille, au bureau et partout au point qu'il est indispensable dans notre la societé. L'ordinateur est cet outil de communication, cet outil scientifique et cet outil de recherche intélligent dont on ne peut plus se passer bref un outil dont o n dépend totalement. Cependant la configuration actuelle de l'ordinateur lui confère deux caractères particuliers: (1) La prémière particularité c'est d'avoir presque la totalité de son intélligence localisée dans l'unité centrale. Toutes les interfaces comme le clavier, l'écran et divers organes de pointage (souris ...) SONT RELIES OBLIGATOIREMENT à l'Unité centrale pour pouvoir être opérationnel et avoir un sens fonctionnel. Bref l'unité centrale est bien donc cette tête pensante qui coordonne tout. (2) Devenu trop intélligent et plus versatile, l'ordinateur se trouve dans tous les usages. L'homme l'utilise pour construire, pour détruire, pour voler, po ur pirater, pour tuer, pour dépraver ... L'ordinateur depuis toujours est donc un esclave de celui qui le programme ou qui le manipule. Ainsi s'est crée le schema fonctionnel MAITRE - ESCLAVE entre l'Unité centrale et les autres périphériques (Ecran, Clavier, Souris). Un schema de Maitre - esclave entre l'ordinateur dans son ensemble et son utilisateur ou son programeur. Ce double schema présente les désavantages: - de dépendence des autres éléments et de non fonctionnalité en cas de panne de l'Unité centrale ou de sa deconnexion. - de l'utilisation viscérale de l'ordinateur pour des intentions parfois non éthiques, non justifiables de l'homme et par l'homme. Actuellement les périphériques de l'Unité centrale d'un ordinateur comme l e CLAVIER, L'ECRAN et LA SOURIS sont inutilisables quand celle-ci (Unité Centrale) n'existe pas, car l'intélligence dont ils ont besoin et la puissan ce de calcul nécessaire (processing) se trouvent localisées exclusivement dans l'Unité centrale. A quoi bon d'avoir un clavier sans unité centrale? A quoi bon d'avoir un écr an sans unité centrale? A quoi bon d'avoir une souris sans unité centrale? Bref l'unité centrale d'un ordinateur c'est le coeur battant, c'est la têt e pensante de tout système informatique actuel. D'un autre côté l'ordinateur obéit aux ordres sans poser des questions, quelques soient les intentions de l'utilisateur, du moment que les commandes ou les ordres suivent la logique des programmes qui sont installés dans la machine. Aucune conscience decisionnelle pour aider l'homme à ne pas dépasser les bornes du bon sens surtout dans l'accès aux données personnelles et privées des uns et des autres. Aucune différence entre le secteur publique et le secteur privé. Ajourd'hui, la collecte des données publiques ou privées est transparent pour l'ordinateur du moment qu'on a les moyens d'accès autorisés, moyens acquis malhônnetement ou hônnetement. A quoi bon courrir à la recherche de protection en protection , d'encryptage de données en encryptage alors qu'un ordinateur conscient préviendrait bien de vices.

Filed: 2004-12-07
Abstract: A control device for controlling an engine, comprising a variable lift mechanism capable of changing the lift of a valve and a variable compression ratio mechanism capable of changing a compression ratio in a combustion chamber. The control device controls the variable lift mechanism and the variable compression ratio mechanism so that, when a requested engine output is increased, a compression ratio decreasing rate is increased over a lift increasing rate and, when the requested engine output is reduced, a lift decreasing rate is increased over a compression ratio increasing rate. When the engine comprises a variable phase mechanism capable of changing the phase of the valve, the control device controls the variable compression ratio mechanism and the variable phase mechanism so that, when the requested engine output is increased, the compression ratio decreasing rate is increased over the change rate of the phase to a delay angle and, when the requested engine output is reduced, the change rate of the phase to an advance angle is increased over the compression ratio increasing rate. Thus, the contact of the valve with a piston can be avoided.
