Title: Text messaging service in a telephone system
Inventor: SAMUEL DAVID
IPC: H04Q7/22
Filed: 2004-06-07
Abstract: The invention relates to the ability to generate messages via a telecommunications system and in particular a method of generating a text message from a telephone handset connected to a landline telecommunications system. The method includes the user of the landline handset entering in a series of alphanumeric characters via the selective depressions of keys on their handset. The characters are recognised by a service provider to whom the same are transmitted and the message is transmitted to the identified recipient(s). The method of the invention further includes converting the text into a voice message to be sent back to the user to thereby allow the user to confirm that the message which has been generated is correct, the recipients being mobile phone handsets and the text message being an SMS message. A second embodiment of the invention includes generating a text message in a telecommunications system which can be relayed to a user of a telephone handset wherein the text message is converted into a voice message, and when the recipient answers the call the voice message is stated to the recipient.

Patent GB-2402586-A (GB)
Title: Method and system for enabling connections into networks with local address realms
Inventor: VOLZ BERNIE
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 2003-03-28
Abstract: The invention generally concerns the issue of providing connectivity between two different address realms, generally referred to as an inside realm and an outside realm, by establishing connections through an intermediate gateway. The gateway normally has a number of outside-realm gateway addresses for enabling representation of inside-realm nodes in the outside realm. In a first aspect, support for flexible outside-realm initiated connections is enabled by dynamically establishing new gateway connection states triggered, for each new connection, by a respective user-resource identifier query initiated from a corresponding outside node. In a second aspect of the invention, intelligent use of predetermined connection information in the process of setting up new gateway connection states makes it possible to significantly increase the number of connections that can be simultaneously supported by the gateway using a limited number of outside-realm addresses.

Title: Method of simulating a multi-processor system in which all the system code is translated into native code at runtime using two different dictionaries.
Inventor: KENNEY JAMES
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2007-07-06
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of simulating a multi-processor system by running code that simulates the system on a host processor, a SPECULATE and a COMMIT instruction is used to mark an area of memory, shared across several simulated processors, and the code is translated at run time to a form required by the host processor. All instructions are mapped to a native instruction set of the host using two different dictionaries. The instructions outside a SPECULATE/COMMIT region may be mapped to the first of the two code dictionaries. When a SPECULATE instruction is encountered the instructions may be mapped to a native instruction set using the second code dictionary. When a COMMIT instruction is encountered the instructions may be mapped to the native instruction set using the first dictionary. Within the SPECULATE/COMMIT region instructions may be mapped to the native instruction set of the host using a second model that more accurately represents the multi-level memory of the final hardware implementation of the multi-processor system.
