Patent EP-0935378-A2 (EP)
Inventor: EPSTEIN MARK EDWARD
IPC: H04M3/00
Filed: 1998-12-21
Abstract: A programmable automatic call and data transfer processing system which
automatically processes incoming telephone calls, facsimiles and e-mails based on the identity
of the caller or author, the subject matter of the message or request, and/or the time of day,
which includes: a central server for automatically answering an incoming call and collecting
voice data of a caller; a speaker recognition module connected to the server for identifying the
caller or author; a switching module responsive to the speaker recognition module for
processing the call or message in accordance with a pre-programmed procedure based on the
identification of the caller or author; and a programming interface for programming the server,
speaker recognizer module and the switching module. The system is programmed by the user
to so as to process incoming telephone calls or e-mail and facsimile messages based on the
identity of the caller or author, subject matter and content of the message and the time of day.
Such processing includes, but is not limited to, switching the call to another system,
forwarding the call to another telephone terminal, placing the call on hold, or disconnecting
the call. In another aspect of the present invention, the system may be employed to process
information retrieved from other telecommunication devices such as voice mail,
facsimile/modem or e-mail. The system is capable of tagging the identity of a caller or
participants to a teleconference, and transcribing the teleconferences, phone conversations and
messages of such callers and participants. The system can automatically index or prioritize the
received calls, messages, e-mails and facsimiles according to the caller identification or subject
matter of the conversation or message, and allow the user to retrieve messages that either
originated from a specific source or caller or retrieve calls which deal with similar or specific
subject matter.

Abstract: Utensil for dice playing, formed by a hollow container (1) as an opened bin
by its upper face, and inclined internal walls (2,3,4) towards the base, in order to channel the
dices towards a lower frontal outlet (5), the bin remaining on a plane surface (6) with
appropriate height rim (7) so that the dices do not jump over. 
     This bin permits that at the time of introducing the dices by the upper face,
they fall on the plane surface (6) when coming out through the lower opening (5) of such bin.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés, appareils et systèmes relatifs à des sites propres guidés et destinés à suivre et détecter des objets et à communiquer avec ces objets, tels que des véhicules sur pistes et routes, ainsi que des stations intermédiaires associées. Le système en question comporte un enroulement, un émetteur et un récepteur. L'enroulement est constitué de deux conducteurs à déphasage reliés de manière à former un ou plusieurs chemins de courant fermés. Ces conducteurs à déphasage sont des éléments (tels que des fils métalliques) formés et conçus de façon à présenter des motifs à répétitions périodiques, du type dents de scie, sinusoïdes ou ondes carrées. L'émetteur applique à au moins un des conducteurs à déphasage un signal de détection de position qui possède une enveloppe qui varie comme une fonction périodique d'une première position le long de l'enroulement (ou par rapport à ce dernier). Le capteur, qui est disposé en une seconde position le long de l'enroulement, détecte les signaux de détection de position sur l'enroulement et génère un signal indiquant la distance entre la première et la seconde position. Ce signal de distance est une fonction, et spécifiquement une superposition, des signaux de détection de position transportés par les multiples conducteurs à déphasage en seconde position. L'invention se rapporte à un appareil et à des procédés associés qui permettent la communication entre les objets le long de l'enroulement.

The first lateral side surface (30) forming each pair of adjacent teeth
corresponding to the other selected ones of the plurality of bottom edges (18) also
defines the second recess (38) for facilitating shifting of the chain (C) from a
smaller sprocket to a larger sprocket, while the first recesses prevent buildup of
contaminants between the sprocket teeth.

Abstract: An object-oriented interrupt processing system in a computer system creates a
system database including a device namespace containing an entry for each
device in the computer system and an interrupt namespace containing an
entry for each interrupt source, arranged as an Interrupt Source Tree. Each
entry in the Interrupt Source Tree is cross-referenced to a corresponding entry

Abstract: In a high speed multicast route searching
method of searching information of a transmission port to
which a received multicast packet is next transferred: a
route address is formed by coupling a receiver address
and a sender address in this order; one p-th power-of-2-branch
tree node is configured by a collection of one
two-branch tree node and two-branch tree nodes of p-1
stages totalling ((p-th power of 2) - 1) nodes just under
the one two-branch tree node to form a p-th power-of-2-branch
tree which is stored in a memory (300); not one
bit but consecutive p bits of the route address coupling
the receiver address and sender address in a received
multicast packet in this order are checked at the same
time; and in accordance with the values of the
consecutive bits, a search tree stored in the memory
(300) is searched. In this manner, a search process can
be completed by tracing nodes (the number of bits of a
search key divided by p) times at a maximum,
independently from the number of entries.

Abstract: An aura is prescribed to surround an avatar which is only allowed to
sense other avatars in the aura. A maximum number of other avatars in the
aura which the avatar is allowed to sense is predetermined. When a new
avatar enters the aura such that the number of other avatars in the aura
exceeds the predetermined maximum number, the avatar is not allowed to
sense the new avatar. However, if the avatar also enters another aura set for
the new avatar and the new avatar is allowed to sense the avatar, the avatar is
also allowed to sense the new avatar even if the number of other avatars in
the aura of the avatar already exceeds the predetermined maximum number.
In this manner, it is possible to avoid a mismatching state in which an avatar
is not allowed to sense another avatar in spite of the fact that the other avatar
is allowed to sense the avatar. Accordingly, by restricting the number of
objects in a virtual reality space that an avatar is allowed to sense in
accordance with the present invention as described above, the amount of
transmitted information can be prevented from rising even if the number of
objects in the virtual reality space increases.

Abstract: A method and system for protecting an electricity network against
restriking earth faults, which electricity network comprises one or more feeders
(F1 and F2) going out from a supply point (S) and is preferably a three-phase
(L1, L2 and L3) network, the method comprising the steps of: detecting an
earth contact related to an earth fault in the electricity network, identifying the
feeder (F2) on which the earth contact occurs by means of current pulses or
current pulses and voltage values related to the earth contact, a current value
being interpreted as a current pulse at the moment the instantaneous value of
the current divided by the effective value of the current exceeds a
predetermined limit, whereby the number of detected earth contacts is
calculated per each feeder (F1 and F2), and it is identified that there is a
restriking earth fault on the feeder (F1 or F2) if the number of the detected
earth contacts per said feeder exceeds a predetermined number during a
predetermined period, or if the number of the detected earth contacts per said
feeder exceeds a predetermined number while the voltage between the star
point of the electricity network and the earth, i.e. the zero voltage, remains
above a predetermined limit.
