Title: Integrated voice and data call management system
Inventor: MONTGOMERY WARREN ALAN
IPC: H04M3/533
Filed: 2000-08-02
Abstract: The integrated voice and data call management system uses the subscriber's existing basic telephone station set and the subscriber's personal computer or other data terminal device to provide the subscriber with access to both advanced communication services and the data which relates to these advanced communication services. This is accomplished by enhancing the voice features provided for the telephone station set with a data connection to that is capable of exchanging communication services data between the subscriber's data terminal device and the telephone switching network. The telephone switching network typically maintains data communications with the subscriber terminal device via an "always on" data connection, which enables the subscriber to manage communications connections for their telephone station set. This call management system unifies multiple service needs in the field of concurrent voice and data communication capabilities, by managing the voice and data communication suites as a set of integrated capabilities. The subscriber can additionally program call management features into the system to address the unique needs of the subscriber, since the communication services data is available to the subscriber.

IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 1999-03-26
Abstract: La puissance d'émission d'une transmission d'une station de base vers une station mobile est régulée avantageusement. La station de base reçoit un signal de la station mobile et détermine un rapport signal/brouillage (RSB) associé au signal reçu. La station de base régule sa puissance d'émission vers la station mobile à l'aide de la valeur RSB déterminée conjointement avec une commande de régulation de puissance d'émission reçue de la station mobile. Lorsque la station mobile se trouve en cours de transfert programmable impliquant au moins deux stations de base, chacune de ces stations de base détermine une valeur RSB associée à un signal reçu de la station mobile. De plus, chacune des stations de base régule sa puissance respective en utilisant à la fois la commande de régulation de puissance reçue de la station mobile et le RSB déterminé par cette station de base. De même, lorsque la station mobile se trouve en cours de transfert programmable impliquant au moins deux secteurs d'une seule station de base, le RSB associé à un signal reçu de la station mobile dans chacun de ces secteurs de la station de base est déterminé et utilisé pour réguler la puissance respective de chaque secteur de la station de base conjointement à une commande de régulation de puissance reçue de la station mobile.

Abstract: A method for increasing the target-specific toxicity of a drug is effected b y pretargeting an enzyme to a mammalian target site, and then administering a cytotoxic drug known to act at the target site, or a prodrug form thereof which is converted to the drug in situ, which drug is also detoxified to for m an intermediate of lower toxicity using said mammal's ordinary metabolic processes, whereby the detoxified intermediate is reconverted to its more toxic form by the pretargeted enzyme and thus has enhanced cytotoxicity at t he target site. Further enhancement can be achieved by pretargeting an enzyme which converts the prodrug to the cytotoxic drug at the target site. Kits fo r use with the method also are provided. The method and kits permit lower dose s of cytotoxic agents, maximize target site activity and minimize systemic sid e effects.
