Patent CA-2280335-A1 (CA)
Title: Arrangement for efficiently updating status information of a network call-routing system
Inventor: MATHEWS EUGENE P
IPC: H04M3/00
Filed: 1999-08-17
Abstract: Call centers (143-145) use an event-driven scheme (207) with a filter (366) to send status updates to an associated network call-routing system (150). The filter ensures that only minimal status changes are not reported to the network call-routing system. Each call center records (310) the status values (360-365) of different splits that it last sent to the call-routing system, and sends a new status update only when a status value of a split has changed (306) by the split's corresponding threshold amount (380-385). On the one hand, in large splits, the number of status-impacting events (such as call arrival, call serviced, call abandon, agent login/logout, etc.) is typically high, but the scale of the change in status effected by each of these events is minimal. On the other hand, in small splits, the number of status-impacting events is typically small but the scale of the change in status effected by each of these events is significant. Therefore, substantially each event at a small split with a small volume of events results in a status update being sent, whereas only a small minority of events at a large split with a high volume of events results in a status update being sent.

Title: File management method using transposed file
Inventor: KORI MITSUNORI
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1999-10-26
Abstract: A file management system performs flexible and efficient file management with a transposed file. First, variable-length logical fields constituting the records in an original file are converted to variable-length internalfields with field-to-field correspondence being maintained and fields aligned with word boundaries. Next, the records consisting, of internal fields are divided into multiple record groups which may comprise a variable number of records. For each record group, one or a plurality of internal fields of all records are then sorted into blocks and blocks are set in a row as a group. Groups thus generated from all records are assembled into a transposed file. When requested to retrieve field data from the original file, the file management system accesses the transposed file and reads only blocks comprising target field data.

Title: Display device
Inventor: ANDERSSON LARS
IPC: G09F9/30
Filed: 1998-10-21
Abstract: A known display device consists of a sheet-like support (1) which is covered with liquid thermochromic crystals (2). These are tempered by individual power supply to individual healable elements (3), which lie close to the crystals and are placed between the sheet-like support (1) and the crystals (2). The crystals assume different shades of colour dependent on the given temperature so that hereby the colour of the crystals will form a certain pattern. In order to improve the possibilities to control the tempering of the individual crystals and also protect them from being effected by the ambient temperature and from mechanical damage, the crystals have underlying means (4) which are controlled to cool down the crystals (2) and/or keep the sheet-like support (1) of the crystals at a certain temperature. This temperature is lower than the temperature, at which the crystals are coloured.  Further the crystals are covered by a coating of lacquer over the complete sheet-like support.
