Title: Priority encoder circuit and method
Inventor: MCKENZIE ROBERT
IPC: G11C15/00
Filed: 2000-09-29
Granted: 2006-06-06
Abstract: A system and method for high speed generation of a global address corresponding to the highest priority active matchline sense output signal received after a CAM  search-and-compare operation. A priority encoder having blocks of multiple match resolver circuits arranged in a logical order of priority receives a plurality of active matchline sense output signals. Each block of multiple match resolver circuits generates a flag signal and a local address corresponding to the highest priority active matchline sense output signal received. Control logic receives flag signals from the multiple match resolver circuits, and identifies the highest priority multiple match resolver circuit that has received an active matchline sense output signal. The control logic then disables all lower priority multiple match resolver circuits such that only the local address generated by the highest priority multiple match resolver circuit is passed by the priority encoder. The flag signals are also decoded to provide a logical address of the highest priority multiple match resolver circuit. The passed local address and the logical address of the highest priority multiple match resolver circuit are concatenated to provide the global address of the highest priority active matchline sense output signal received by the priority encoder.

Title: System for automatically routing calls to call center agents in an agent surplus condition based on delay probabilities
Inventor: JENSEN ROY A
IPC: H04M3/523
Filed: 2000-11-23
Granted: 2004-01-20
Abstract: The system for automatically routing calls to call center agents provides the call center administrator with an automatic agent assignment paradigm which functions to automatically increase the efficiency of assigning multiple skill agents to contacts. The presence of an agent surplus condition provides the present system with a plurality of choices in the assignment of the agent to process a presently received contact. Since the agents who staff the call center include multiple skill agents, the system must make a determination of not only which of the available agents is the best equipped to handle the present contact, but also how that assignment statistically effects the efficiency of successive assignments of agents to contacts next received, based upon the past performance of the agents and the call center. Since the traffic load presented to the call center tends to be highly variable and of content that is difficult to predict, the present system provides several automatic agent assignment paradigms that each have a statistically different impact on the performance of the call center, based upon the quality and quantity of the incoming calls.

Granted: 2008-09-30
Abstract: The present invention concerns a low frequency oscillator device including a quartz resonator (1) and an electronic maintenance circuit for maintaining the vibrations of said quartz resonator. According to the present invention, the quartz resonator is arranged to vibrate according to a torsional mode and therefore has a single cutting angle defined by a rotation at a determined angle (A) about the crystallographic axis X of the quartz crystal. This resonator includes in particular at least one undesired fundamental flexural vibrating mode at a first frequency and a desired fundamental torsional vibrating mode at a second frequency higher than said first frequency. Moreover, the electronic maintenance circuit is an inverter circuit (2) whose transconductance value (g m) is determined such that said device cannot oscillate according to the undesired fundamental flexural vibrating mode but according to the desired fundamental torsional vibrating mode of said resonator. The oscillator device according to the present invention thus has substantially improved thermal characteristics with respect to known oscillator devices using flexural vibrating resonators.
Patent CA-2328933-C (CA)

Granted: 2005-05-17
Abstract: A case for a stick product which comprises an inner sleeve having a wall and two longitudinal tracks within the wall, each longitudinal track is positioned approximately circumferentially opposite with respect to the other. An outer sleeve is fitted about the inner sleeve so as to be able to rotate with respect to the inner sleeve. The outer sleeve has an inner wall, an outer wall, and four helical grooves along the inner wall. A holder cup for the stick product is fitted into the inner sleeve. The holder cup comprises a shell having an inner surface, an outer surface, a first set of lugs, and a second set of lugs, wherein one lu g from each set extends through the same longitudinal track to engage one of the four helical grooves. By providing two sets of lugs, as opposed to the traditional one set, skewing of the holder cup is dramatically reduced. When the holder cup travels along its axial path betwe en the advanced and retracted positions, the torque experienced by the first set of lugs is equal and opposite to the torque experienced by the second set of lugs. The two opposing forces cancel each other and keep the holder cup steady during travel within the case, thus reducing the possibility of damaging the stick product.

Abstract: A method and computer product for facilitating regression testing during the development and other life cycle phases of a software application comprised of transactions. A regression test is comprised of test cases containing test data (44) describing the target test at a functional or behavioral level. A test operator may perform a manual test and simultaneously record the test. The architecture of the invention monitors the physical activity of the test operator and thereafter transforms the physical event steps into functional or behavioral test data. The test data (44) is in a robust functional description of the transaction such that physical modifications to the transaction during software development preserve the viability of the test data for execution in the modified transaction. A test report (46) may also be generated in response to the execution of the regression test. The test report (46) lists both the test data (44) executed and the response thereto. A test report (46) may be compared with baseline or control test report to verify the lack of regression of the transaction. A difference report may be also be generated from the comparison of test reports.

Title: Preservation of cell borders at hand-off within a smart antenna cellular system

Granted: 2009-10-06
Abstract: A cellular communications network includes a plurality of cells (100) whose base stations have both sector (104) and smart (110) antenna capabilities.  While engaged in a call (200), mobile station (114) downlink signal strength measurements (202,204) are made on its own serving traffic channel and the control channels of neighboring cells. These measurements are then adjusted (210) by one or more factors which take into account the operational and physical differences between sector antenna and smart antenna. For example, the signal strength measurements may be appropriately adjusted by measured differences in gain between the smart antenna and sector antennna, output power backoff values associated with smart antenna and sector antenna support of the traffic channels in comparison to the control channels, and power control attenuation applied to the traffic channels. The resulting adjusted downlink signal strength measurements may then be compared against each other (as off-set by any imposed hysteresis value) to more precisely locate the mobile station and uniformly, predictably and accurately identify when it is appropriate to authorize a hand-off
