Title: Method in a communications system for providing an out-of-band signaling response based on predetermined conditions
Inventor: KAPSALES PETER
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 1996-02-27
Abstract: A method for use in a communications system permitting a first party connected to a central platform to receive an out-of-band signal in response to predetermined trigger conditions. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, leaving a voice mail message results in an automatic page to the first party notifying him, or her, of the voice mail message from a second party. Similarly, the first party is notified of alert or alarm conditions and preprogrammed schedule changes through use of the out-of-band signal. Certain predetermined characters may be used to distinguish between the various types of out-of-band messages sent to the first party.

Abstract: A video data recording apparatus (100) has a coding unit (110) in which data (Vin) is compressed and encoded, and organised in units of groups of pictures (GOPs), each GOP being comprised of the video data of a predetermined plurality of frames. A data pack portion (120) converts the GOPs into a plurality of data blocks of a predetermined format. Units (160, 170) add (160, 170) a GOP identifying code (ID) for identifying a GOP of compressed and encoded video data. The data blocks and IDs are recorded by a recording unit (190) on a predetermined number of slanted tracks on a tape (80). A corresponding video data reproduction apparatus (200) reproduces the video data recorded by the video data recording apparatus. The apparatus allows the use of a simple tracking control.

Abstract: The present invention provides a curved optical waveguide with reduced loss. Particularly, it relates to a waveguide with rectangular cross-section which has a curved portion, wherein the relation between the width D of the waveguide at the curved portion and the radius R of the curvature is R/D≤500. This waveguide is provided with at least one cladding inside the core of said curved portion, thereby dividing the waveguide at the curved portion in a plurality of narrow optical waveguides. This enables a large reduction of the loss even in curved optical waveguides with sharp curves, and realizes inexpensive optical waveguides.

Abstract: The decode includes a number of addition-comparison-selection cells (ACS) each presenting an extension (11) which generates R-bit decisions based on one-bit decisions. The register exchange method is used for this process. The complex R-bit decisions are stored in a memory (20) so that they can be re-mounted in reverse according to the trace back method. The memory reading rate can thus be reduced by a factor R, while its writing rate depends of the size of its bus. Each cell extension includes a decision register (22) controlled by a clock signal (CR) and feeding a multiplexer controlled by a decision (d) generated by the cell.

Abstract: An electromagnetic probe (308, 400, 502, 614, 702) is integrated within an integrated circuit (300) or mounted within an IC package to provide a capability for testing continuity between the integrated circuit (300, 600) and a substrate (312) to which the integrated circuit is mounted. In a first embodiment, capacitive test probes (308) are integrated within the integrated circuit (300), underneath bonding pads. In a second embodiment, Hall-effect devices (400) are integrated within the integrated circuit underneath bonding pads (408). In a third embodiment, an inductive loop (502) is integrated within the integrated circuit underneath bonding pads (500). In a fourth embodiment, an IC package assembly includes an internal capacitive test probe (614) for electrical continuity testing. An internal shield (610) may also be used as a capacitive test probe. In a fifth embodiment, an IC package assembly includes an inductive loop (702) within the package for electrical continuity testing. The integrated or intrapackage test probes provide electromagnetic coupling to bonding pads or to a lead frame and to bonding wires (if present), to detect whether there is electrical continuity between an integrated circuit bonding pad or lead frame and conductors (310) on an external substrate (312). The integrated or intrapackage test probes enable continuity testing for direct-bonding with no package, or for a package assembly even if the package assembly includes grounded shielding or a grounded heat sink.

Abstract: A positioning apparatus (128) positions free ends (121) of resilient members (122). The apparatus couples a capacitance member (136) to the free end (121) and places the capacitance member (136) within an electrode system (142). A voltage source (140) applies an electric charge to the capacitance member (136) and voltage signals applied to the electrode system (142) generate electric fields which urge the free end to a position of equilibrium between an urging force of said electric field on said electric charge and an internal restoring force of said resilient member (122). This apparatus is adapted to also be a position sensing apparatus which includes a time-variable signal generator that is coupled to the capacitance member and a current sensor that senses current magnitudes in the electrodes of the electrode system. Each current magnitude is representative of the distance between that electrode and the capacitance member. The positioning apparatus and the position sensing apparatus are incorporated into positioning systems (120) which track a light beam (123) with the free end (121) of an optical fiber (122).
