Abstract: A voice mail system allows the recipient of a voice message to annotate the message with one or more verbal responses for delivery back to the originating party. The verbal responses are preferably inserted into the original message at the print or points within the message where responses are solicited. Thus, a reply message is generated having questions and verbal responses interleaved within a single message for replay by the originating party. In one embodiment, the message recipient indicates to the system, during message playback, the point in the message where he wishes to insert a verbal response. Playback is then paused and the recipient's verbal response is recorded. Playback is then resumed after the response has been recorded.  Additional verbal responses can then be inserted in the same manner.

Title: Method of and apparatus for executing automated transactions
Inventor: CANNON THOMAS CALVIN JR
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2001-05-31
Abstract: A method of and apparatus for controlling a user's private verification information uses a secure controlled server. When making a purchase, rather than the user transmitting their private verification information to a merchant, the merchant contacts the controlled server. During the contact from the merchant to the controlled server, the merchant identifies the user and any non-private information the merchant has regarding the user as well as the nature of the transaction. If the purchase is valid, the controlled server will authorize the transaction to the merchant. In this way, the user never need transmit its private verification information to the merchant. The merchant only learns whether the transaction is authorized, and no further information is exchanged. To ascertain whether the transaction is authorized, the controlled server can either make the determination based upon certain predetermined criteria, or contact the user, such as via e-mail. Additionally, the controlled server can provide other services to the user. The user can establish criteria for receipt of advertisements. Also, the user can request information regarding a particular item for purchase. The controlled server can also be used to control the timing of the receipt of bills, by electronic means rather than through the mail.
Patent CA-2351381-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HONG JIN J
IPC: H01S5/343
Filed: 2000-07-20
Abstract: The invention relates to compound cavity optical reflection modulation laser system providing frequency modulation of laser light by phase induced effective reflection modulation of the laser rear facet. The system includes a single mode gain coupled DFB laser integrated with a passive waveguide section to form a compound cavity modulation system. The waveguide includes a multiple quantum well region which is reverse biased to utilize the quantum Stark effect for voltage controlled refractive index modulation, thus providing phase modulation of the laser light. The phase modulated light is fed back to the laser to interfere with the light generated within the laser and to form the output light generated from the compound cavity. The interference effects cause modulation of the effective complex reflection of the rear laser facet which results in frequency modulation of the output light. If required, the frequency modulated light (FM) may be converted into intensity modulated (IM) light by using an additional narrow band optical filter, e.g. Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
