Title: Intelligent ringtone service based on message attributes
Inventor: SELIGMANN DOREE DUNCAN
IPC: H04W4/12
Filed: 2005-06-16
Abstract: An apparatus and methods are disclosed for enabling a telecommunications terminal to notify its user of the arrival of a message via an acoustic or visual signal whose properties are based on attributes of the message. A network infrastructure element (e.g., a switch, a private branch exchange [PBX], a server, etc.) receives a message directed to a terminal and sets the values of ringtone properties (e.g., tempo, volume, pitch, rhythm, etc.) based on attributes of an incoming message (e.g., the sender, a priority, a subject, the location from which the message was sent, etc.). In a first illustrative embodiment the network infrastructure element sends the message and the instantiated ringtone to the terminal, while in a second illustrative embodiment the network infrastructure element sends the message and the property values to the terminal, and the terminal plays a locally-stored ringtone in accordance with the property values.

Inventor: MAEDA SHIGEO
IPC: G02F1/355
Filed: 2004-03-12
Abstract: A first electrode is in partial contact with a region (2) to be domain-inverted on one side of a non-linear optical crystal substrate (1), and a second electrode is in contact with the other side of the substrate. Between the two electrodes a domain inversion voltage is applied. The first electrode is so formed that a contact region (3) of the substrate in contact with the first electrode meets specific conditions. By applying the domain inversion voltage, the region to be domain-inverted is domain inverted wholly or partly.  The conditions are that each contact region (3) has a shape of a dot so that the contact regions (3) may exist independently in the regions (2) to be domain inverted and that each dot contact region has an area of 0.00785 µm2 to 7850 µm2 and a shape that can be included in a circle of 100 µm in diameter. In this way a high-quality domain inverted crystal is easily produced.

Filed: 2004-03-31
Abstract: A multiple pass location processing method, for use in a wireless location system (WLS), comprises identifying a received transmission as requiring multiple pass location processing whereby the WLS produces a first, lower quality location estimate and then subsequently produces a second, higher quality location estimate. The WLS then produces the first location estimate and provides it to a first location application, and then produces the second location estimate. The second location estimate may be a more accurate estimate than the first location estimate and/or of a higher confidence than the first location estimate. This method is suitable, but not limited, for use in connection with locating a wireless transmitter involved in an emergency services call and routing the call to a call center.

Title: Lipid particles having asymmetric lipid coating and method of preparing same
Inventor: ZHANG YUANPENG
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 2004-03-30
Abstract: A method of preparing lipid particles having an asymmetric lipid coating is described. The lipid composition of the outer lipid coating of the particles varies from the inner to outer surfaces. The asymmetric lipid particles are formed by preparing a lipid composition containing a charged lipid and a therapeutic agent, where the particles each have an outer lipid coating with an external lipid leaflet and an internal lipid structure. The particles are then incubated under conditions effective to remove the charged lipid from the external lipid leaflet, thus rendering the lipid coating asymmetric. The particles have the ability to their regain surface charge via translocation of the lipids.

Patent CA-2534009-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GAO GUANGYI
IPC: H01J5/54
Filed: 2004-04-29
Abstract: The present invention provides a high intensity discharge lamp with a lamp cap, which has a simple and firm structure, higher thermal stability, lower glare and higher efficiency than conventional lamps. The discharge lamp according to the present invention comprises an arcuate inner tube, which is filled with substances, e.g. xenon, for gas discharge. The arcuate inner tube comprises a bulbous or ellipsoidal portion. Surrounding the arcuate inner tube is a tubular outer envelope; the outer envelope has an enlarged portion, which is similar to the bulbous or ellipsoidal portion disposed of the bulbous portion of the arcuate inner tube. The distance between the outer envelope and the outer wall of the arcuate inner tube is uniform; thereby making the temperature distribution on the wall of inner tube more uniform, which improves the thermal stability, and the luminous and the electricity parameters of the lamp. More important is that the invention can reduce the light refraction and reflection, which occurs between the inner surface of the outer envelope and the outer surface of the arcuate inner tube, and also between the two interfaces of the outer envelope wall and the space therebetween, thereby more light is directly emitted out from the enlarged bulbous portion of the lamp, and the occurrence of glare is reduced.
