Patent CA-2326924-C (CA)
Inventor: MATHEWS EUGENE P
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2000-11-28
Granted: 2004-09-28
Abstract: A call center is configured to determine which of a number of designated service states is associated with a particular skill or type of communication supported by one or more agents of the call center. A particular one of the states represents a branded service level, while other states represent over-service and under-service conditions.  If the particular skill or type of communication is determined to be associated with a service state other than that corresponding to the desired branded service level, a communication processing function of the call center is adjusted so as to return the skill or type of communication to the desired branded service level state. An example of such an adjustment is a dynamic agent pooling, in which a pool of agents available to perform work for the particular skill varies in accordance with the current service state of that skill. The call center processing operations may also perform appropriate tests to determine if predictors generated by certain predictive algorithms should be used in the service state determination process. A branded service metric may be used to characterize the performance of the call center with respect to the desired branded service level.

Filed: 2001-07-09
Granted: 2005-08-23
Abstract: To provide a technique for measuring characteristics such as chromatic dispersion and the like, by making it possible to continuously sweep the wavelength of light source.        The present invention comprises a variable-wavelength light source 12 for generating a variable-wavelength light, wavelength of which is variable, having an identification waveform at the time when the wavelength is changing, wherein the identification waveform is distinguishable from a normal waveform before and after the time when the wavelength is changing; an optical modulator 14 for modulating the variable-wavelength light to a predetermined frequency and casting it on an optical fiber 30; and an identification waveform detection section 24 for detecting the identification waveform in a light transmitted through the optical fiber 30, wherein since the time t0 that the identification waveform detection section 24 detects the identification waveform is the time when the waveform starts to change, it is possible to obtain a synchronization of incidence side and exit side of optical fiber 30 using the t0. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain the synchronization of incidence side and exit side of device-under-test even if the wavelength of light source is continuously swept, whereby characteristics such as chromatic dispersion and the like can be measured.

Title: Apparatus and method for use in paging mode in wireless communications systems
Inventor: LI JUNYI
IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 2001-12-27
Granted: 2006-01-24
Abstract: Latency in receiving and detecting paging messages at a wireless terminal is reduced by employing a unique "super" paging time slot format. A paging super time slot includes a plurality of prescribed time slots. Each wireless terminal is associated with cyclically recurring super time slots. A super slot is associated with one or more wireless terminals. A base station always selects the first available time slot in a super time slot to transmit a paging message to a wireless terminal that is associated with the super time slot. Each wireless terminal monitors every time slot in the associated super time slot until either detecting reception of its associated paging message or detecting an empty time slot. In another embodiment of the invention, a unique partially overlapping super time slot format is employed in which a super time slot has at least one time slot common to its adjacent super time slots. This. allows wireless terminals associated with adjacent super time slots to share the common at least one time slot. In turn, this results in balanced traffic loads, smoothed traffic fluctuation and reduced congestion.
