Filed: 2007-12-10
Abstract: A call server for processing (screening/filtering)an incoming voice call in a communication system comprises a signature store (307) providing a set of waveform signatures for a number of voice signals. A network interface (301) receives an incoming voice call for a voice communication unit (101) and a signature processor (303) generates a segment waveform signature for a segment of the incoming voice call. A match processor (305) then determines if a first match exists between the segment waveform signature and a waveform signature of the set of waveform signatures in accordance with a first match criterion. If a match is found, a call controller (309) rejects the incoming voice call. The invention may provide real time automated call screening for filtering of nuisance calls wherein the detection may be based on contents of the incoming call while at the same time allowing fast and low complexity detection. Suitable for Voice over Internet Protocol, VoIP, applications.

Abstract: 583,463. Fuzes for shells and the like. MORRIS, G., LOUDEN, J., and IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd. Aug. 7, 1941, No. 10025. [Classes 9 (i) and 9 (ii)] A fast-burning, rigid, delay fuze for shells, bombs and the like includes a composition comprising the monobasic lead salt 4 : 6-dinitroresorcinal pressed into a tube of rigid material under a pressure of not less than 10 tons per square inch. The lead salt may be produced by causing a water-soluble normal salt of 4 : 6- dinitroresorcinal, such as a salt of sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium or magnesium to react in aqueous solution in the presence of a soluble base such as sodium, potassium, or ammonium hydroxide, with a soluble lead salt such as lead nitrate or acetate, or with a basic lead salt in which case the soluble base is omitted. The basic lead salt of 4 : 6-dinitroresorcinal may be separated from the liquor washed with warm water and dried and alcohol may be used in the drying process. The lead salt thus produced may be mixed with a slower burning lead salt of a dinitrophenolic compound, or may be co-precipitated therewith or with a 2 : 4 lead dinitroresorcinal salt. The fuze salt or mixture is pressed under a pressure of from 10-14 tons per square inch in four or five equal portions successively in a steel, cupronickel, synthetic resin, or vulcanized fibre, rigid tube to form a robust fuze. The salt may be mixed with 2 per cent gum arabic and surface coated with 2-6 per cent graphite. Specification 582,976 is referred to in the Provisional Specification.

Abstract: 617,262. Guiding-webs on paper-machines. KARLSSON, K. A. April 1, 1946, No. 10054. Convention date, April 13, 1945. [Class 96] A guide for the wire cloth, felt or like web 1 of a paper-machine comprises a bearing 4 for one end 3 of the shaft of a guide roll 2, said bearing being mounted to reciprocate longitudinally in a slot 6 in the bed-plate 5. The opposite bearing swivels about an axis perpendicular to the bedplate. The shaft carries near its end 3 an eccentric 9 reposing in an arc 10 supported by opposed bolts 11 sliding in holes in the bearing 4. At the ends of the bolts 11 are similar but oppositely directed arcuate wedges 12 secured by flat springs 14 to a pivoted shaft 13, and the radius of curvature of the wedges is equal to the distance between the shaft 13 and the bolts 11. Shaft 13 also carries a feeler 18 for contacting an edge of the web 1. A similar feeler may be provided for the other edge and it may be mounted on a similar shaft. The feelers may be linked together and the whole assembly may be balanced by a weight 19. When, for example, the near edge of the web 1 pushes the feeler 18 towards the reader a greater thickness of the left-hand wedge is interposed the left-hand bolt 11 and the frame 23 and a smaller thickness of the right-hand wedge moves into the corresponding position. Hence the reciprocation of the arc 10 is restricted on the left and extended on the right, resulting in the bearing 4 moving to the right and the web moving back.
