Abstract: A voice messaging system with non-user outcalling and auto-provisioning capabilities
including an automatic means for configuring a telephone number to become a subscriber to a
voice messaging service. The voice messaging system of the present invention facilitates the
process of acquiring a voice mailbox by providing non-user outcalling and auto-provisioning.
A voice messaging service user will be able to send a non-user voice messages using the
voice messaging service, and, the non-user recipient desiring to subscribe to voice mailbox
service can acquire a voice mailbox simply by responding to interactive queries after the
reception of the voice message. The system also automatically establishes call forwarding at
the appropriate central office switch and automatically creates a voice mailbox at the voice
messaging system if a non-user recipient desires to become a subscriber to the voice
messaging system.

Abstract: The first air guide groove (92) is formed at the bottom of a carrier
(24) along the inner circumference of a circle whose radius corresponds to
the maximum radius of a wafer (50). The air is supplied to the outer
periphery of the wafer (50) through the first air guide groove (92) to form
a pressure air layer (51) between the carrier (24) and the wafer(50). The
formation of the pressure air layer (51) makes the air pressure applied to
the wafer (50) uniform on the entire surface of the wafer (50), and thus,
the wafer (50) can be polished under a uniform pressure force. The
second air guide groove (94) is formed along the inner circumference of a
circle whose radius corresponds to the minimum radius of the wafer (50),
and therefore, the wafer (50) with an orientation flat or notch can be
polished under a uniform pressure force.

Abstract: Infrared and visible light energies are directed through a
container (14) onto a CCD camera (28) that is responsive to
both the visible and infrared light energy. Crossed polarizers
(22, 24) are positioned on opposed sides of the container
(14), and operate on the visible light energy in such a way as
to block transmission of visible light to the camera (28) in
the absence of stress variations in the container, which after
polarization of the visible light energy traveling through the
container. On the other hand, the polarizers (22, 24) have
little or no effect on the infrared light energy, which
creates a normally gray intensity of background light at the
camera. In this way, incidence of visible light on the camera
(28) due to stress variations in the container appears as a
bright signal against a normally gray background, while
blockage of infrared light due to opaque variations in the
container appears as a dark signal against the normally gray
background.

Abstract: A system and a method for dynamically adjusting a level of filtering or
smoothing applied to data received from fire detectors produces shortened response
times for detection of a fire condition while at the same time minimizing the effects
of uncorrelated noise in the absence of any fire condition. An increasing probability
of a fire results in less filtering. Increasing values of the input signal from a
respective detector (18), indicative of an increasing selected ambient condition such
as combustion or temperature, provide a control input for reducing or bypassing the
level of filtering of the respective input signal thereby reducing system response
time. Where the unfiltered input data from a respective detector (18) indicates a
combustion or temperature profile moving toward clear air, the filtering or
smoothing level can also be dynamically decreased thereby enabling the filtered
signal values to return to their respective clear air values faster than would
otherwise be the case. Detectors (18) can be grouped and multiple unfiltered
outputs can be assessed substantially simultaneously to determine whether or not
levels of filtering or smoothing for the members of the group should be
dynamically decreased.

Abstract: Pre heat-treatment processing of a silicon wafer to grow a hydrophilic oxide layer
includes an initial step of contacting the wafer with a pre-clean SC-1 bath, thereby producing
a silicon wafer surface that is highly particle free. After a deionized water rinse, the wafer is
scoured with an aqueous solution containing hydrofluoric acid and hydrochloric acid to remove
metallic-containing oxide from the wafer surface. In order to grow a hydrophilic oxide layer,
an SC-2 bath (containing hydrogen peroxide and a dilute concentration of metal-scouring HCl)
is used. The resulting hydrophilic silicon oxide layer grown on the surface of the silicon wafer
using the combined SC-1 -> HF/HCL -> SC-2 wafer cleaning process has a metal concentration
no greater than 1x10 9 . The diffusion length of minority carriers is increased from a range on the
order of 500 - 600 microns to a range on the order of 800 - 900 microns.

Abstract: In this monitoring, measured values such as a laser
output measured value, a lamp voltage measured value and
a lamp current measured value are first fetched (step F1)
to figure out an energy per pulse (step F2) . At intervals
of a certain time T a , a laser output mean value P M  or a lamp
power mean value Q M  is figured out from the cumulative value
of the energy per pulse (step F4) . Then, the thus obtained
laser output mean value P M  or lamp power mean value Q M  is
compared with a set upper limit PN or QN. If this comparison
results in P M  > PN or Q M  > QN, it is judged to be "abnormal",
in other words, that the laser output mean value or lamp
power mean value per unit time at the present point of time
is too high and risky for an optical fiber in use. Thus,
the laser oscillating action is interrupted (step F7) and
an error message is displayed (step F8).

IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 1999-06-28
Abstract: In a network with a sending system networked to at least one receiving system, it is sometimes desirable to transfer relatively short messages between the sending system and one or more receiving systems in a highly reliable yet highly efficient manner. The present invention defines two short message protocols, one of which relies on a statistical model and the other of which uses positive acknowledgement to track receipt of transmitted packets by intended recipient. The statistical reliability mode is based on the observation that for each packet in a message that is transmitted, the probability that at least one packet of the message is received by a given system increases. Thus, in the statistical reliability mode messages are divided into a guaranteed minimum number of packets, with additional packets being added if the message length is insufficient to fill the minimum number of packets. The positive reliability mode of the present invention periodically sets an acknowledgement flag in the packets transmitted for a message. Receiving systems send an acknowledgement in response to receipt of that packet. The sending system tracks receipt of acknowledgements by intended recipient and retransmits any unacknowledged packets so as to positively assure the packets are received. Receiving systems send negative acknowledgements to request retransmission of missing packets. Negative acknowledgement suppression is implemented at both the sender and receiver to prevent a flood of negative acknowledgements from overwhelming the network. Packets are transmitted by the sending system at a transmission rate selected to avoid any adverse impact on the packet loss rate of the network. <IMAGE>

one of a predetermined threshold level, within a
specified unit of time, and an absolute threshold
level; and taking action to reduce or eliminate the
transmitted power at a time prior to or when the
averaged transmitted power density level equals or
exceeds the threshold level. The step of determining
includes a step of considering the operation of the
user terminal in a satellite communications system as
well as in a terrestrial communications system. The
step of taking action includes a step of reducing the
transmitted power of the user terminal by at least one
of: assigning the user terminal to another frequency
channel, assigning the user terminal to another time
slot, changing a number of satellites through which
the user terminal is communicating, or changing a data
rate at which the user terminal is transmitting. The
step of establishing a wireless connection includes a
step of assigning at least one communications system
parameter to the user terminal based at least in part
on a historical record of how quickly the user
terminal approaches the threshold.
