Patent EP-1134526-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HIGGINBOTHAM PAUL
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 2001-02-26
Abstract: Oxygen and nitrogen are produced by cryogenic separation in which at least a portion (112) of feed air is introduced to a first (130) of at least three distillation columns (130, 164, 166). An oxygen-lean stream (132) from or near the top of the first column (130) is at least partially condensed in a reboiler-condenser (141; 135) of the second or third column (164; 166) to provide reflux for the first column. Oxygen-enriched liquid (168) from the bottom of the first column (130) is fed to the second or third column (164; 166). Nitrogen enriched liquid (154), which can be a portion (150) of the condensed oxygen-lean stream from the first column (130), is fed to the second column(164). Oxygen-enriched liquid bottoms (160) from the second column (164) is fed to the third column (166) and nitrogen-rich vapour overheads (194; 182) are withdrawn from the second and third columns (164; 166). A liquid oxygen-rich stream (173) from the third column (130) is elevated in pressure (173) and warmed (110), at least in part, by indirect heat exchange with a pressurized stream (116) having a nitrogen content greater than or equal to that in the feed air. The pressurized stream is cooled without being subjected to distillation and is fed to any one or combination of the three columns (130, 164, 166).

IPC: G06F11/34

Abstract: This invention relates generally to contact centers, also variously
referred to as call centers, automatic call distribution systems, and
telemarketing systems, and relates specifically to
performance-monitoring of such centers. 
     Existing contact-center monitoring arrangements tend to have a narrow
focus and tend to concentrate either on call routing or on monitoring a
limited set of attributes while the contact center is operational. 
     An arrangement (100) for monitoring contact-center (104-108)
performance automates the monitoring process by using a database
schema (250-270) that records (200-224) the contact center to be
monitored, its skills, the locations where the skills are located (in the case
of a distributed contact center), the objective or target value for a given
skill attribute (such as average speed of answer, maximum delay, etc.),
the acceptable deviation from the objective (tolerance), the maximum
acceptable deviation between locations (in the case of a distributed
contact center), the periodicity or frequency of the monitoring, and the
comparison operator needed to determine how a given observed or actual
value for the skill attribute is to be compared with its specified objective
and tolerance. 
     The performance metric determination is thus dynamic: that is,
performance is determined "on the fly" at run time at the time that the
contact center is polled for performance-indicative data, and there is
no a-priori fixed formula of how to compare an observed skill-attribute
value with its specified objective and tolerance to determine a metric
for a specified contact center. The result of each poll is sent to a
party that is responsible for the contact center, such as a requestor
who requested the monitoring.

Abstract: In an apparatus for receiving digital television broadcast,
a user may be safeguarded from misconception that the apparatus
may be in disorder. When a channel for receipt is commanded in
the apparatus for receiving digital television broadcast, the
number of the channel is acquired (step S11). It is verified
(step S12) whether or not the channel so selected has been set
as being a channel for reception. If the result of check is
affirmative, a picture for the channel is displayed (step S14).
If otherwise, that is if the channel selected has not been set
as the channel for reception, the effect that the channel cannot
be viewed is displayed (step S15).

Abstract: On a single chip are formed a plurality of
magnetoresistance effect elements provided with pinned
layers having fixed magnetization axes in the directions
that cross each other. On a substrate 10 are formed
magnetic layers that will become two magnetic tunnel effect
elements 11, 21 as magnetoresistance effect elements.
Magnetic-field-applying magnetic layers made of NiCo are
formed to sandwich the magnetic layers in plan view. A
magnetic field is applied to the magnetic-field-applying
magnetic layers. The magnetic field is removed after the
magnetic-field-applying magnetic layers are magnetized in
the direction shown by arrow A. As a result of this, by the
residual magnetization of the magnetic-field-applying
magnetic layers, magnetic fields in the directions shown by
arrows B are applied to the magnetic layers that will
become magnetic tunnel effect elements 11, 21, whereby the
magnetization of the pinned layers of the magnetic layers
that will become magnetic tunnel effect elements 11, 21 is
pinned in the directions shown by arrows B.
