Patent EP-1111875-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LAUZON ERIC
IPC: H04Q3/72
Filed: 2000-12-14
Abstract: The amount of control that a calling party has over a destination terminal has
been very restricted. For example, when making an extremely urgent call to a busy
terminal, the caller is unable to free up the busy terminal by causing the call that is
currently in progress to be dropped. The present invention provides a method by
which an originating terminal is able to control a destination terminal by sending
signalling protocol messages to that destination terminal. The caller associates
computer software code with the signalling protocol messages such that when the
messages are received at a destination processor the computer software code is
executed (subject to any security and access requirements). For example, the
messages may be improved SIP protocol messages with incorporated Java code.
By selecting different computer software code for association with the messages, the
caller is able to control the destination terminal. For example, to display information
about the identity of the caller at the destination terminal; to modify the behaviour of
the destination terminal according to the priority of the call; to take into account the
configuration of the destination terminal, and to allow users to adjust this
configuration from a remote location.

Inventor: BRUCE DOUGLAS G
IPC: B21D53/66
Filed: 2000-08-21
Abstract: The present invention has several aspects to it, one of which is the provision
of a chisel point which is straight and tapered from its thinnest part at the extreme
front to a thicker part at the rear thereof for causing a sweep to wear longer than prior
art sweeps. This sweep also improves soil penetration and is self-sharpening.
Another aspect of the present invention is to provide an earth working sweep having a
front end, a right side, a left side, and a central upper portion for connecting the sweep
to an implement. It also has a right rear wing portion and a left rear wing portion with
an intermediate portion connecting the front end to the central upper rear portion and
the left and right rear wing portions. A right edge and a left edge have concave edges
on the front and convex edges on the back so as to form a somewhat S-shaped
configuration which reduces scrap when being made and adds to the longevity and
performance of the sweep. Another aspect of the present invention is a method of
making a ground engaging sweep from a sheet of metal which has two parallel sides,
a first end and a second end. The edges of the sweep are cut so that the right side of
one sweep is a mirror image of the left side of the next adjacent sweep so that no
material is wasted therebetween as they are cut from one sheet of material. By using
this method, as much metal as possible is utilized in the sweep itself rather than
having wasted metal as scrap and thereby enhancing the life and performance of such
sweep.

Abstract: A touch system using a plurality of infrared ("IR") transmitters and receivers, and a method of determining with increased resolution the location of a touch between the IR transmitters and receivers using on-axis and off-axis detection are disclosed. The inventive touch system and method use, in conjunction with the on-axis and off-axis detection, a coarse and fine sweep of the transmitters and receivers to increase the resolution of identified touch location. The method of determining a touch location involves selection and activation of particular off-axis infrared transmitter and receiver pairs determined from a triangulation interdependence between the x and y coordinates. The increased resolution of the identified touch location is achievable using the inventive system and method without the need for an increased number of IR transmitters and receivers and without the need for higher speed processing capability.
