Inventor: CHRISTIE SAMUEL H IV
IPC: H04M1/64
Filed: 2004-07-28
Abstract: The present invention allows a user to screen messages being left at a hosted voicemail system from a telephone terminal. Incoming calls intended for the telephone terminal are routed to the voicemail system immediately or after attempting to connect incoming call to the telephone terminal. As the caller is leaving a message at the voicemail system, a connection between the incoming call, voicemail system, and telephone terminal is established to allow the user to listen to the message and decide whether to take the call.  The user may decide to take the call or let the caller finish leaving the message. In one embodiment, the telephone terminal is equipped to open only the speaker channel for monitoring the message and will provide a fully bi-directional connection if the user takes the call. The supporting switch and telephone terminal communicate with each other to facilitate the monitoring and taking of calls.

Title: System and method for facilitating centralized candidate selection and monitoring subject participation in clinical trial studies
Inventor: KANE JOHN MICHAEL M D
IPC: G16H10/20
Filed: 2004-06-10
Abstract: A system and method of facilitating centralized and standardized remote ratings of subjects in clinical trial studies includes providing training to raters located at one or more central rating sites such that the raters are trained to apply substantially similar criteria in determining whether a candidate is a qualified subject for the clinical trial and/or in the actual assessment, or information collection, phase of the clinical trail. By having centralized, consistently trained raters that are independent of clinical trial investigators, inter-rater reliability is enhanced and potential bias is reduced, thus increasing the effectiveness of the clinical trial results by providing more qualified subjects and more accurate results.

Abstract: An improved handheld electronic device having a reduced keyboard provides facilitated language entry by making available to a user certain words that a user may reasonably be expected to enter. In some situations, certain words can be stored, for example, in a temporary dictionary for use in particular situations. For instance, the names of the recipients of an electronic message might be stored in a temporary dictionary for rapid retrieval when entering a salutation in the message. As another example, a number of the words in an existing electronic message may be stored in a temporary dictionary and made available to a user when replying to or forwarding the message since the existing message might include words that the user might reasonably be expected to type in the reply message or the forwarded message.

Title: Short bar separation and recovery system and method
Inventor: GHOSH PRADIP K
IPC: B21B37/70
Filed: 2006-04-12
Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for separating and recovering short bars from full length bars in a rolling mill. The bars are initially conveyed on a run-out roller table from a shear to a transfer station where they are accumulated in a layer. The layer is transferred laterally from the transfer station onto a separation roller table at a separation station. An elevator lifts the tail ends of the full length bars off of the separation roller table, and the separation roller table then conveys the short bars to a recovery station. The remaining full length bars are then returned to the transfer station, from where they are sent on to a bundling station.

Patent CA-2567083-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PATIL RAHUL A
IPC: A62B17/04
Filed: 2005-05-27
Abstract: A detector that monitors the presence of halogenated agents and the presence of N20 includes a base to which a filter cannister is removably coupled. The cannister has an input for accepting exhalent from a patient or an anesthesia machine and an outlet for outputting the filtered exhalent as gases to the base. The filtered gases are routed a gas measurement or monitor cell housed in the base. The cell has a halogenated agents sensing system and a N20 sensing system. When the filter material in the filter cannister could no longer filter out the halogenated agents, the agents are passed from the filter to the measuring cell, which would detect the presence of the halogenated agents. An audible alarm sounds when halogenated agents are detected. This tells the user that it is time to replace the filter cannister.  If N20 is used, its presence is detected by the N20 sensor in the measuring cell. If N20 is detected, an audible alarm sounds to inform the user that N20 is present and that the user should take appropriate preventative steps.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant de stabiliser la consommation d'énergie dans des charges multiples ou dans des charges à phases multiples simples. Ledit procédé et ledit système permettent également de compenser le déséquilibre de charges à phases multiples. Un contrôleur central contrôle les réactances variables dans les charges et identifie les situations de fluctuation et/ou de déséquilibre d'énergie et/ou de courant. Ledit contrôleur détermine les actions de correction appropriées à adopter par les autres charges/phases pour compenser les variations ou le déséquilibre d'énergie et/ou de courant, dus à la charge constituant un problème et il produit des signaux de commande fournissant des instructions aux contrôleurs de réacteur variable associés aux autres charges, afin d'effectuer les ajustements en conséquence. Le procédé et le système peuvent s'utiliser dans des installations de four à arc électrique. Dans ce contexte, il est prévu selon le procédé et le système, un contrôleur de position d'électrode, couplé au contrôleur de vitesse d'alimentation, de sorte à anticiper de manière prédictive l'introduction du nouveau matériau d'alimentation et à baisser les électrodes, de sorte à prévenir l'extinction de l'arc, tandis que les réacteurs variables conservent les valeurs de consigne d'énergie prédéterminées. Le contrôleur de position d'électrode peut s'utiliser en lieu et place de/ou conjointement avec le système de commande de réactance variable, afin d'adopter les actions de correction appropriées pour apporter une solution aux variations ou aux déséquilibres d'énergie et/ou de courant. Les réacteurs variables réagissent à des ordres de magnitude plus rapidement que le système de positionnement d'électrode. Ledit système et ledit procédé peuvent s'utiliser pour maintenir un niveau prédéterminé de déséquilibre du système.
