Patent CA-2336745-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHAN NORMAN C
IPC: H04M3/523
Filed: 2001-02-14
Abstract: A call center includes a recording/playback unit for recording audible signals received (during an outgoing call) from a remote party location, while a call classifier unit within the call center processes the audible signals. A  call processing unit places a call to a remote party location via a communication network to attempt to elicit a desired response from the remote party. The call classifier then processes audible signals received from the remote party location to determine whether or not the call was answered by a live party. The audible signals are recorded by the recording/playback unit and are placed in a queue while the call classifier processes the audible signals. If the call classifier determines that the call was answered by a live party, the call processing unit completes a path between the recording/playback unit and a local agent at the call center, and the recorded audible signals from the remote party are played back to the agent in an accelerated fashion. Meanwhile, the queue is being filled with incoming audible signals at normal speed. Once the queue of recorded audible signals has been emptied, the call processing unit establishes a realtime path between the remote party location and the local agent. If the call classifier determines that the call was not answered by a live party, the call processing unit will terminate the call.

Title: Pivoting overhead hand-over-hand climbing device
Inventor: MANTOOTH CHARLES ALAN
IPC: A63B17/00
Filed: 2001-02-19
Abstract: An overhead hand-over-hand traversing apparatus, reminiscent of playground monkey bars, is provided. The apparatus has a single longitudinal bar with pivoting hubs at both ends and regularly spaced traversing hand holds, such that as the user traverses the bar, the bar pivots, to a limited degree, to provide fun and exercise while requiring agility. In a preferred embodiment, the traversing hand holds are in the form of generally U-shaped segments attached to the longitudinal bar. The traversing apparatus is supported by cross-bars intersecting the pivoting hubs at each end. The crossbars may then be independently supported such that the apparatus is a free- standing device or the apparatus may be connected such that it spans between two other play platforms and forms a bridge between the platforms or may form the entry to a single platform.

Title: Synthesis of polyol fatty acid polyesters
Inventor: CORRIGAN PATRICK JOSEPH
IPC: C07C67/03
Filed: 2000-01-24
Abstract: Processes for the synthesis of polyol fatty acid polyester by transesterification of a polyol comprise reacting polyol with a first portion of fatty acid lower alkyl ester to provide a first step reaction product in which substantially all of the polyol is reacted with at least one fatty acid lower alkyl ester. The process then employs a multistage column for further transesterification of the first step reaction product. Partially esterified polyol, a second portion of fatty acid lower alkyl ester and catalyst are fed to the column to form a mixture and cause further transesterification of the partially esterified polyol and fatty acid lower alkyl ester, with lower alkyl alcohol being formed as a by product. The resulting liquid mixture of reactants and product is passed in a first direction between adjacent stages through the column for further reaction of partially esterified polyol with fatty acid lower alkyl ester. An inert sparging gas is fed through the column in a second direction between adjacent stages, counter current to the flow of the liquid mixture between adjacent stages in the first direction. The inert gas is directed through the liquid mixture to provide gas induce turbulence, such that the column reactor has a column ratio of at least 0.4/hour.
