Title: Systems and methods for call screening
Inventor: SMITH ROBERT
IPC: H04M3/533
Filed: 2003-05-19
Abstract: The present invention provides flexible, user-definable call screening processes. The user (112) can optionally define to which telecommunication terminals a screened call is to be broadcast to and under what conditions. A n incoming call is forwarded to a call management system (124) that asks the caller (102) to leave a voice message. The call management system (124) selectively couples the call to a POTS line or a VoIP-capable device (110) s o that the user (112) can listen to the incoming message and thereby screen th e incoming call. Based on the screening, the user (112) can instruct the call management system (124) to connect the caller (102) to the user (112).</SDOA B>

Abstract: A sewage treatment system is disclosed in which a waste stream is separated into a primary sludge and water effluent, and the primary sludge is anaerobically digested and dewatered to produce a Class A biosolid. The water effluent is aerobically digested and separated to provide a waste activated sludge. The waste activated sludge is heated in a two-stage process with steam injection and indirect steam before it is passed to a hydrothermal process.  The Ph of the treated waste activated sludge is then increased, and the nitrogen is stripped and recovered as an ammonium salt. A low nitrogen stream with volatile fatty acids and soluble organics is then separated and fed to the aerobic digester. Biogas generated during anaerobic digestion provides energy for heating the waste activated sludge for the hydrothermal process, and reject heat from the hydrothermal process heats the primary sludge for thermophilic anaerobic digestion.
