Patent EP-1115264-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KUNG FEN-CHUNG
IPC: H04Q11/04

Abstract: The present invention provides for customer premises remote monitoring for use in
a powerful, facilities-based, broadband communications system that guarantees voice, data
and video communication reliability and security to users for an multimedia system
including integrated telephone, television and data network. The remote monitoring service
enables, for example, the environment of the system subscriber's customer premises of to
be monitored from a remote location by those authorized by the subscriber. Further,
customer premises equipment usage may be monitored. The customer premises equipment,
such as a broadband residential gateway (BRG) may be equipped with a microphone(s) and
camera(s) (possibly including a speaker(s)) and the system, for example, the BRG and IP
Central Station may be configured to allow active monitoring of a the customer premises
from a remote location. Rather than including a microphone and camera (with or without a
speaker(s)) for the BRG, the remote monitoring feature may be constructed to operate on a
multimedia personal computer (PC) connected to the BRG. The remote monitoring may be
performed even if one of the users telephones is off the hook by configuring the customer
premise equipment to work independent of telephone status. The remote monitoring
information may be seen and heard in real time or saved to memory. As such, the system
may also be configured to store all the video and/or audio during a monitoring period on a
storage device at the subscriber's residence (e.g., VCR, digital disk, etc.), in a storage
system at IP Central Station, or at any third party location such as a security service. The
remote monitoring feature may be configured with emergency remote monitoring capability
so that in response to someone at the customer premises dialing 911 the police, fire
department, or any other designated party or telephone number, the system may
automatically provided monitoring capabilities to emergency personnel. The system may
be configured with a remote monitoring lockout feature for user privacy. Further, the 
emergency remote monitoring (e.g., 911) feature may be configured to automatically
override an active lockout so that emergency personnel can monitor the premises in
response to an emergency call. The remote monitoring feature may be used to notify a
subscriber that a telephone is off-ho

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that supports
recovery in the event a previous process holding a lock (130) used for mutual
exclusion purposes loses ownership of the lock. This loss of ownership may
occur due to the previous process dying or the lock becoming unmapped. Under
the present invention a process first attempts (502) to acquire the lock. If the
attempt to acquire the lock returns with an error indicating that the previous
process holding the lock lost ownership of the lock, the process attempts (504) to
make program state protected by the lock consistent. If the attempt to make the
program state consistent is successful, the system reinitializes (506) and unlocks
the lock. Otherwise, the system marks (508) the lock as unrecoverable so that
subsequent processes attempting to acquire the lock are notified that the lock is
not recoverable. One aspect of the present invention includes receiving (402) a
notification in an operating system that a process died, and determining (404) if
the process died while holding a lock. If the process died while holding the lock,
the system marks (406) the lock to indicate to subsequent acquirers of the lock
that a previous holder of the lock died, and unlocks the lock so that other
processes may acquire the lock. According to one aspect of the present invention,
if the attempt to acquire the lock returns with an error indicating the lock is not
recoverable, the process performs operations (510) to work around the program
state that is inconsistent, and reinitializes (512) the lock.

Abstract: A riser card compatible with the AC '97 specification includes an
autoswitch that senses whether a primary codec is on an AC-link interface and
configures a codec on the riser card accordingly. The autoswitch sets the codec to
act as the primary codec if no other primary codec is present or to act as a
secondary codec if the AC-link interface has a primary codec. One embodiment of
the autoswitch uses the PRIMARY_DN# signal from the AC-link interface as a
select signal that selects an ID number for the codec and selects the routing of a
data signal from the codec to the AC-link interface.

Abstract: A user interface device has a graphical user interface
that can simultaneously display a combination of television
and related Internet content, along with predetermined
responses to the television or video content. The
predetermined responses may offer a set of choices, and
selecting one of the choices results in sending the chosen
response to a chat room to be added to the chat stream.
Selecting a choice may alternatively cause a second set of
responses to be displayed, the second set corresponding to
the choice that was selected. The predetermined responses
may be standardized responses that are broadcast to many
user interface devices, or the predetermined responses may
be customized responses input by the user. Alternatively,
the user may define a profile that provides a subset of the
available predetermined responses, the subset having a
particular style selected by the viewer. The predetermined
responses may take the form of text communications, static
or dynamic graphic icons, audio or video. Having the
predetermined responses available allows for interactive
communication without the need for a keyboard to type in
responses.

projecting unit for irradiating a living-tissue subject with
stimulating light, an optical element for propagating the
autofluorescent light emitted from the living-tissue subject that
has been irradiated by stimulating light. It also has a
photographing element, which is formed of the optical element,
for photographing the autofluorescent light emitted by the living
tissue subject irradiated by the stimulating light. The optical
element is structured so as to satisfy the condition expressed

Abstract: A motor and a method of manufacturing the motor are provided for preventing undesirable deformation of the sleeve hole caused by a press fitting force during press fitting process, thus facilitating the assembly process and improving the productivity. A recess is formed on an inner peripheral wall of a center cylindrical portion at the center of a flange body. When press fitting a sleeve body into a hole (sleeve fitting hole) of a flange assembly unit for integrating both members, the annular recess of the flange assembly unit serves to reduce the contact area between the sleeve body and the flange body. The press fitting force exerted to the contact area is reduced. Therefore the deformation of the inner diameter of the sleeve body that has been press fitted is minimized, thus suppressing deformation of the inner diameter portion of the sleeve body and the flange body.
