Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for generation of predicted responses in a computer communications network system. A server in the computer communications network system predicts the client's next request based on the present client's request. The server sets a trigger that recognizes a match of the client's predicted request. When a client's predicted request arrives, the trigger sends the response. Additionally, the server associates a timeout action with the predicted response so that if a predicted request is not received within the timeout interval or other events occur before the predicted request arrives, the triggered response is removed and an alternative action is performed.

Abstract: A gas analyzer includes a gas sensor (100), a drive section (101) that pumps oxygen in first to third processing zones of the gas sensor, an operating section (102) that operates a pumping current flowing in a third electro-chemical pump cell into a gas value to be measured, a display output section (103) that displays a value operated by the operating section, or outputs the value as an electrical output to the external, and a heater drive section (104) that heats the gas sensor to a predetermined temperature. In the gas sensor a gas containing a gas component to be measured having bound oxygen is introduced into a first processing zone under a predetermined diffusion resistance, and an oxygen partial pressure in the atmosphere within the first processing zone is controlled to a predetermined oxygen partial pressure due to the pumping action of oxygen by the first electro-chemical pump cell in the first processing zone. The gas to be measured is then introduced into a second processing zone under a predetermined diffusion resistance, and oxygen is pumped out by the second electro-chemical pump cell in the second processing zone, so that the oxygen partial pressure in the atmosphere is controlled to a low oxygen partial pressure value that does not substantially influence the measurement of the amount of the gas component to be measured. Thereafter the gas to be measured is introduced into a third processing zone under a predetermined diffusion resistance, and the gas component to be measured in the atmosphere introduced from the second processing zone is reduced or decomposed in the third processing zone, and oxygen generated at that time is pumped out by a third electro-chemical pump cell. The pumping current flowing in the third electro-chemical pump cell is detected. The gas analyzer is calibrated using a plurality of samples of known gas component to be measured as a standard gas and pumping currents corresponding to the standard gas samples as a calibration curve.

Abstract: A method and system of utilizing advanced intelligent network services for capturing and recording dial-around call information is provided. Dial-around calls are calls directed to a telecommunication services provider other than the services provider designated by the owner or operator of the originating telecommunications device, such as a pay telephone. When a public switched telephone network effects a 'dial-around' of a prescribed telecommunication services provider at a pay telephone, accounting records generated by the local telecommunication services provider do not identify that the call originated at a pay telephone. Thus, important billing and asset management data are lost to the pay telephone operator. The method and system of the present invention utilize advanced intelligent network services to recognize dial-around calls and to produce a record for the pay telephone operator which will identify and record billing and utilization information for dial-around calls. The method and system may be used without the need for expensive and time consuming hardware and software retrofit of each local switch through which each pay telephone operator operates.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermoelectric material containing CoSb 3 
compound for converting heat to electricity, and provides a p-type thermoelectric
material of CoSb 3  having a high power factor by achieving high Seebeck
coefficient consistently with high electric conductivity in a material of CoSb 3 
system without causing increase in heat conductivity. 
     By sintering Co 0.07 Pt 0.03 Sb 3  alloy powder using the spark plasma sintering
technique, the material is densified, while growth of grains is restricted, so that a
higher electric conductivity is achieved with a heat conductivity maintained in a
low level, and the figure of merit as a heat-transfer material is improved. Also, by
providing such heat insulating layer as an oxide intermediately in a grain boundary
of a compound of CoSb 3  in a sintered body, the heat conductivity is reduced.
Further, the Seebeck coefficient is increased by adding a rare earth metal to the
thermoelectric material of CoSb 3 , and allowing it to be precipitated in grain
boundaries of the sintered body.

Abstract: The method involves using an intelligent. ISDN terminal with an S-interface, a U-interface, at least one codec/filter building block, and a data bus for their mutual connection. One or several, digitally transferring terminals are connected at the S-interface and one or several analogously transferring terminals are connected at the codec/filter building block. The data stream on the data bus is subdivided at an external exchange into a frame structure with respectively three directly successive main channels (19, 20, 21). In the first main channel (19) the B1-channel (22), the B2-channel (23), as well as the D-channel (24) are transferred as sub-channel in firmly associated time slots. The exchange between the U-interface on one hand and the S-interface, as well as the codec/filter building block on the other hand is performed exclusively over these sub-channels of the first main channel. At least one first and/or second sub-channel (25, 25b) for an information data transmission is arranged in respectively one associated time slot, and one third sub-channel (26) for a control data transmission is provided on a further associated time slot in one of the further main channels. Each terminal puts the information data, at an internal exchange between a digital transferring terminal and an analogously transferring terminal, or between analogously transferring terminals, exclusively on these first sub-channels of the second main channel. The control data for the internal exchange are transferred in the further associated time slot of the third sub-channel in the further main channel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a procedure of connecting a polyphased asynchronous generator on a
polyphased alternating voltage network. The connecting is carried out by means of an adjustable,
electronic connecting based on thyristors or similar variable (adjustable) connecting items, the
connecting degree of which is varied during a controlled connecting course, which is controlled in
consideration of the wish of a "soft" connecting on the network and a limitation of the maximum
amperage during the connecting course. 
     During the whole connecting course a continuous determination of the generator phase angle ϕ is
carried out, and on basis of this determination a continuous adjustment of thyristors - the aperture
angle is carried out, thus the aimed, successive load connection of the generator on the network
(soft-connecting) is obtained. Furthermore the procedure includes a new method to determine the
generator phase angle ϕ by registering the time of zero circulation on the phase voltage, and at the
same time detection of the respective thyristor voltage-zero circulation point at a measuring method
based on measuring of the thyristor voltage. 
     The novelty of the invention consists in adjusting the ignition point of the thyristors successively to
the phase angle ϕ, thus the connecting degree resulted to the thyristors is increased in an controlled
speed regardless the variations registered in the phase angle during the connecting course. I.e. in
the principle the thyristor aperture angle is reduced, when ϕ increases and so on.
