Filed: 1998-09-04
Abstract: A power-saving, highly-reversible optical device is
provided. The transmittance through the device is well
controlled within a visible ray range. The device has good
spectral characteristics while shielded from light, and the
electrodes in the device are prevented from being in
overpotential condition. The device has a long life, and is
protected from being discolored and deteriorated in cycle
use. Also, an electrolytic solution to be used in the
device is provided. 
     The optical device comprises a solution as so put
between working electrodes and a counter electrode that
driving control of these electrodes brings about deposition
or dissolution of silver. In this, the solution is prepared
by dissolving a silver salt in a solvent, to which are added
a supporting salt of an alkali metal halide such as LiBr or
the like, and an alkanolamine, and optionally coumarin and a
mercaptoalkylimidazole.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for controlling the contrast, pitch grating of a
composite light intensity profile and phase shifting of a spatial location at which the composite
light intensity profile crosses a xerographic threshold in a two dimensional high addressability
printer operating in an overscan mode. The contrast, pitch grating and phase shifting are
dependent on at least one of a predetermined amount of overlap, an exposure profile and an
intensity value of each of the plurality of laser beam spots (100,102,104,106,108) formed on the
photosensitive medium of a two dimensional high addressability printer.

Abstract: In recent years, the telecommunications industry has
witnessed the proliferation of a variety of digital vocoders
in order to meet bandwidth demands of different wireline and
wireless communication systems. The rapid growth in the
diversity of networks and the number of users of such networks
is increasing the number of instances where two vocoders are
placed in tandem to serve a single connection. Such
arrangements of low bit-rate codecs can degrade the quality of
the transmitted speech. To overcome this problem in the
specific situation involving store-and-forward systems (e.g.
voicemail), the invention provides a novel method and
apparatus including a plurality of different vocoders that can
be selectively invoked to process the voice signal so as to
reduce signal degradation. Also, the apparatus has the
capability to bypass the vocoder bank when exchanging data
with a remote signal processor capable of accepting data
frames in compressed format.

Abstract: In a telephone answering system, announcements
are pre-recorded to elicit from a caller one or more
attributes and details of a message. Such attributes may
include the identity of the caller, the purpose of the
call, etc. Information concerning each attribute of the
message is stored in the system separate from the message
details. By reviewing at least one attribute of each
message saved on the system, the called party is able to
identify any messages of interest before listening to any
message details. The called party may then retrieve the
message details of each identified message.

Abstract: An autoclave type sterilization device which includes an autoclave sterilization chamber with
an electrical heating arrangement mounted thereon. This electrical heating arrangement employs one
or more positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors as heating elements. These heating
elements are in direct thermal and electrical contact on opposing sides, which are coated with a
conductive metal such as aluminum, with electrodes to supply electrical current. These electrodes are,
in turn, in direct thermal contact on their outward-facing sides with respect to the heating elements
with plates which are formed of a thermally conductive and electrically insulating ceramic material
such as AL 2 O 3 , and the plates are in direct thermal contact on their outward-facing sides with respect
to the heating elements with heat radiation units which include heat transfer portions which are
fabricated to engage and are in direct thermal contact with a portion of the wall of the autoclave
chamber. The heating elements are positioned by an electrically and thermally insulating frame made
of heat-resistant material which serves, together with the heat radiation units, to fully enclose the
heating elements. The heat radiation units further are in thermal and mechanical contact with each
other which, together with the abovementioned enclosure of the heating elements, protects them from
thermal gradients due to unbalanced heat transfer or exposure to air or gas flow and hence, from the
known "pinch effect."

Abstract: In a data transmission or modulation system, a
clock is reproduced stably. If data (limiting
code) containing a plurality of consecutive minimum
inversion interval Tmin is contained in the data inputted
from a shift register, a Tmin consecution limiting code
detection unit detects it. A constraint length judgement
unit judges the constraint length i to be the constraint
length corresponding to the code for limiting the constraint
length i when a detection signal is inputted from the Tmin
consecution limiting code detection unit, and outputs it to
a multiplexer. The multiplexer selects the output of a
converter corresponding to the constraint length supplied
from the constraint length judgement unit out of converters
14-1 to 14-r, and outputs it to a run detection processing
unit through a buffer.

Filed: 1999-02-25
Abstract: A method and system for automatically providing remote notification
of a locally detected event includes receiving data and analyzing the
content of the data using a data filter of a computer. The data filter (16) is configured
to detect an indication of a predetermined event within the data. If the
event is detected, the data filter (16) activates a local event indicator (18) associated
with the computer (10). An event indicator monitor (20) determines whether a user
response is initiated within a configurable time interval after activation of the
event indicator (18). If the monitor (20) determines that no user response is initiated
within the configurable time interval, the monitor (20) transmits an establish-connection
message to a control program (30). The control program (30) responds to
the establish-connection message by accessing an event notification message
from a database (14) which indicates access numbers of the remote communication
devices (42-44) to which to transmit the event notification message.
Communication links are established to the remote communication devices (42-44)
and the event notification message is transmitted to the devices. The data
filter (16) is capable of analyzing data included in web page updates transmitted
to a web browser (19) of the computer (10), e-mail messages, scheduling updates and
requests transmitted to an electronic calendar (13) of the computer (10), and scheduling
reminders transmitted by the electronic calendar (13).
