Title: Rules-based multimedia customer/enterprise interaction-network operating-system
Inventor: BECK CHRISTOPHER CLEMMETT MACL
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 1999-09-02
Granted: 2002-06-11
Abstract: A customer-interaction network operating system for managing interactions in a multimedia communication center has an external media layer (83) for managing media contact between customers and the communication center, a workflow layer (85) for processing customer interactions and routing events to enterprise agents and knowledge workers; and an internal media layer (87) for managing media contact with the agents and knowledge workers. The workflow layer captures each transaction, prepares a text version of at least a portion of each non-text transaction, and extracts knowledge from the text transaction or text version of a non-text transaction to be stored in a knowledge base for later use in routing and other management functions. All transactions, text versions, and extracted knowledge is related in storage for future analysis and use.

Abstract: A process of making a composite vessel with superior mechanical and aesthetic characteristics includes the steps of: A) preforming a composite thermoplastic shell (41a) (e.g., by winding a commingled roving of fiberglass and a thermoplastic material onto a thermoplastic liner) having an opening for access to the interior B) placing the shell (which may optionally be preheated) into a mold (40) (which itself may optionally be preheated); C) introducing an inflatable bag (42) containing a heater (48) into the shell through the opening; D) heating the inflatable bag to a temperature which is sufficient to render the shell fluid while pressurizing the interior of the inflatable bag: E) continuing step D) until the shell forms against the interior walls of the mold; F) allowing the formed composite vessel to cool; G) removing the inflatable bag; and H) removing the formed composite vessel from the mold. Prior to step C), an insert (43) having an opening may be juxtaposed in alignment with the opening in the shell such that, during step C), the inflatable bag is inserted through the opening in the insert. If desired for the intended purpose of the composite vessel, a portion of the exterior surface of the insert may be threaded such that threads are formed in the opening of theshe ll whereby the insert can be unscrewed leaving a threaded po into the vessel.

Title: Periodicity enhancement in decoding wideband signals
Inventor: SALAMI REDWAN
IPC: H04B1/62
Filed: 1999-10-27
Granted: 2006-02-14
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for enhancing periodicity of an excitation signal produced in relation to a pitch codevector and an innovative codevector for supplying a signal synthesis filter in view of producing a synthesized wideband signal. In this periodicity enhancing device and method, a factor generator is responsive to the adaptive and innovative codevectors for calculating a periodicity factor. An innovation filter subsequently processes the innovative codevector in relation to this periodicity factor to reduce energy of a low frequency portion of the innovative codevector and enhance periodicity of a low frequency portion of the excitation signal. As an example, the innovation filter has a transfer function of the form: F(z)--.alpha.(z)+1-.alpha.(z)-1 where .alpha. is a periodicity factor, and the factor generator calculates the periodicity factor .alpha. using the relation:  .alpha. = qR p bounded by .alpha. < q where q is an enhancement factor set for example to 0.25, and where R p is represented by formula (I) where v~ is the pitch codevector, b is a pitch gain, N is a subframe length, and u is the excitation signal.

Title: Method for permitting debugging and testing of software on a mobile communication device in a secure environment
Inventor: WANG ALEX C
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2001-12-17
Granted: 2006-07-11
Abstract: A developer (102) develops a software application (204) which needs to~ be tested or debugged, or both. To eliminate the deed to either intentionally compromise the security environment of the target portable device, or having to request a certificate for each version of the software under development, the developer obtains a development certificate (208). The development certificate includes a device identifier unique to the particular portable device on which the software is to be tested, and some development parameter. The target device uses these two pieces of data to determine if the software is valid, and executable. If either of these pieces of data are not valid, the security mechanism of the target device will disable the software, or otherwise refuse to permit it to execute. The developer signs the software with the~ development certificate, and then loads the signed software onto the target device, which then authenticates the developer's signature and development certificate.

Inventor: MORI ATSUSHI
IPC: B60K17/35
Filed: 2002-09-09
Granted: 2005-11-22
Abstract: Changeover clutch discs for a direct coupling clutch and a change-speed clutch, respectively, are disposed in two stages in a radial direction across a movable element which can move in axial directions of an input shaft.   A carrier and the movable element are brought into meshing engagement with each other such that the movable element does not rotate relative to the carrier. The changeover clutch discs mesh with clutch discs which are disposed on the- input shaft and a casing, respectively. A coned disc spring and an electromagnetic actuator are disposed such that operating directions of the spring and the actuator are opposed to each other. The coned disc spring keeps the direct coupling clutch in a normally engaged condition with its biasing force, and the electromagnetic actuator brings a change-speed clutch into engagement after it has released the engagement of the direct coupling clutch by virtue of its thrust.

Title: Tire building drum having expandable center section and independently expandable bead lock assemblies in the end sections
Inventor: CURRIE WILLIAM DUDLEY
IPC: B29D30/36
Filed: 2002-09-19
Granted: 2010-07-27
Abstract: A tire building drum has a center section (720) and two end sections (722,724). Each end section is provided with an expandable bead lock assembly (726) . The center section is preferably expandable. The expandable bead lock assembly comprises a carrier ring (CR) and a plurality of elongate links (K) extending between the carrier ring (CR) and a plurality of radially-expandable segments (S). When the carrier ring moves inward (towards the center section), the radially-expandable segments (S) move radially outward, urging a plurality of axially extending, circumferentially spaced-apart finger segments (F) outward from a collapsed position to an expanded position, and at least one position therebetween. In an embodiment of the invention, the bead lock assembly comprises a cylinder and two pistons (P1, P2) disposed within the cylinder. The pistons are free to move axially within the cylinder, in response to pneumatic pressure. The first piston (P1) is constrained from moving axially inward by rods (R1P1,R2P1,R3P1). The second piston (P2) is connected by rods (R1P2,R2P2,R3P2) to the carrier ring (CR). Pressurized air supplied through hoses (H1,H2,H3) and passageways in the cylinder (73) control the movement of the pistons (P1,P2) so that the beach lock assembly can be partially-expanded, fully-expanded, and retracted, unexpanded position.
