Title: Method and apparatus for call distribution and override with priority
Inventor: CRONIN PAUL
IPC: H04M3/53
Filed: 1999-02-10
Granted: 2001-12-25
Abstract: A communication router receives incoming communications and assigns a priori ty to each, which are then placed in descending order of priority from the head  of the queue, to be routed from the head of the queue to selected destinatio ns (31, 33). The invention is particularly applicable to routing telephone call s in a call center (21). Destinations (31, 33), in the call center agent stations, are selected on a basis of agent availability, and an agent status  may be available if the agent is involved in a call of lower priority than a  call to be routed. In some embodiments displaced calls may be placed back in  the routing queue in order of priority. The invention is applicable to routi ng a wide variety of communications, such as telephone calls (13), e-mails, vid eo calls, and Internet Protocol (11) calls.

Abstract: A composite sheet adapted to be used as stock material for disposable garments comprises a film-like upper layer and a lower layer formed by a fibrous assembly. The upper layer is formed with a first surface region having plane zones and aperture arrays and a second surface region in the form of a depression. The lower layer has its density higher in a region immediately underlying the second surface region than in a region immediately underlying the first surface region. The composite sheet including such constituent features is suitable as stock material for disposable garments which require a soft touch and a rapid permeation of body fluids discharged on the garments.

Abstract: It is known that the addition of an anti-staling amylase reduces the rate of crumb firming during storage for 1-7 days after baking, but the inventors found a need to improve the softness in the initial period after baking, particularly the first 24 hours after baking. This can be overcome by using a phospholipase, so that bread made by the combined use of an and-staling amylase and a phospholipase has improved softness, both when eaten on the same day and when stored for several days after baking. There is no significant change in the taste or smell of the baked product.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for allocating functional units in a multithreaded very large instruction word (VLIW) processor. The present invention combines the techniques of conventional VLIW architectures and conventional multithreaded architectures to reduce execution time within an individual program, as well as across a workload. The present invention utilizes a compiler to detect parallelism. The disclosed multithreaded VLIW architecture exploits program parallelism by issuing multiple instructions, in a similar manner to single threaded VLIW processors, from a single program sequencer, and also supports multiple program sequencers, as in simultaneous multithreading. Instructions are allocated to functional units to issue multiple VLIW instructions to multiple functional units in the same cycle. The allocation mechanism of the present invention occupies a pipeline stage just before arguments are dispatched to functional units. The allocate stage determines how to group the instructions together to maximize efficiency, by selecting appropriate instructions and assigning the instructions to the FUs. The criteria for selection are thread priority or resource availability or both. Under the thread priority criteria, different threads can have different priorities. The allocate stage selects and forwards the packets (or instructions from packets) for execution belonging to the thread with the highest priority according to the priority policy implemented.  Under the resource availability criteria, a packet (having up to K instructions) can be allocated only if the resources (functional units) required by the packet are available for the next cycle. Functional units report their availability to the allocate stage.

Abstract: The invention is a new heat and fire resistant material and an improved wildland fire shelter and kit. The material is made of a woven silica-based cloth layered in several possible combinations with foil and fiberglass cloth layers. The layers can be arranged in a variety of sequences to minimize the thermal radiation to the inside of the material or shelter.      However, a foil layer must always be the outermost layer to provide protection from radiant heat and a layer of foil must be present between the interior of the shelter or material and any layer of adhesive to limit accumulation of gases inside the shelter if the adhesive or other substance should break down when exposed to heat. The silica cloth, aluminum foil, and fiberglass cloth may be laminated or sewn together. The shape of the fire shelter is a half cylinder with 1/4 sphere at each end. The shelter is contained in an easy-open polyvinyl bag which provides for quick removal and deployment of the fire shelter.
