Title: System and method for providing incoming call distribution
Inventor: STERNS THOMAS
IPC: H04M5/00
Filed: 2006-04-27
Abstract: A method and system of routing incoming call is disclosed. An incoming call is received at a call center of a language interpretation provider. The incoming call is made by a customer requesting language interpretation service. The customer can be for example a business entity or an individual. A level of skill required by the customer is determined. The level of skill required represents a minimum skill set that an interpreter of the language interpretation provider should possess in order to provide the language interpretation service requested by the customer. The language interpretation service is provided during the incoming call. The incoming call can be queued at a first queue that distributes incoming calls to a call center interpreter. The call center interpreter is permanently connected to the call center of the language interpretation provider through a voice link. If a customer-defined event occurs, the incoming call is routed to a second queue that distributes incoming calls to a non-call center interpreter. The non-call center interpreter is not permanently connected to the call center of the language interpretation provider.

Inventor: WESTMEIER SIEGFRIED
IPC: F01K25/10
Filed: 2007-07-31
Abstract: The invention relates to the additional use of low-temperature heat for electricity generation using supercritical carbon dioxide as the working medium. The invention includes a method and an installation for use of the method, by means of which higher efficiency is achieved than with known methods and whose operating range covers a broader temperature band and thus a control range which makes it possible to ensure optimum driving during summer and winter without any design changes, with a simple physical design at the same time and without additional environmental hazards, with comparatively little hardwave complexity. At the same time, a reduction in the carbon dioxide emission is achieved. In order to implement the method, low-temperature heat is received from an existing heat source (1) by means of carbon dioxide, which is at a high supercritical pressure, as the heat carrier, and is then expanded, carrying out work, via an expansion machine (2) which is coupled to a generator (3) with the heat carrier being cooled down, then being liquefied using a refrigeration source (4) and being compressed again to the working pressure, in liquid form.

IPC: H04W4/90
Filed: 2007-03-06
Abstract: A service for Public Safety (PS) and Law Enforcement (LE) users on commercial wireless networks which assure them access to packet data services. The service request is application based. The applications that are for official use, by the PS/LE users, could have a reserved priority level associated with them. The reserved priority level could be higher than a normal commercial user. The network could use the priority to distinguish users, and dynamically allocate and optimize network resources. The network could use priority level information to perform access, admission, and congestion control. The PS/LE user could use the official applications while on duty and un-official ones while off duty, thus, additionally freeing up network resources. The PS/LE users could then use advanced commercial packet data services, without the need for a private network, while at the same time making it feasible for commercial networks.
