Patent EP-1172018-A2 (EP)
Inventor: STERN TRAMPAS B
IPC: H04R17/00
Filed: 2000-02-11
Abstract: A piezoelectric speaker is provided which provides a magnetic field to couple the speaker to a hearing aid coil. The magnetic field induces a current in the hearing aid coil as it appears as a time varying magnet field to the coil. The time varying magnetic field is preferably proportional to the movement of a piezoelectric member of the piezoelectric speaker so as to induce a current in the hearing aid coil proportional to this movement. Such a magnetic field may be provided by connecting a magnetic material to the piezoelectric speaker such that motion in the speaker results in motion of the magnetic material, preferably at the position of maximum displacement of the speaker. Thus, the piezoelectric speaker may provide hearing aid compatibility.

Abstract: An ellipsometer for analyzing a sample (2) using a
broad range of wavelengths includes a light source (4) for
generating a beam of polychromatic light for interacting
with the sample (2). A polarizer (6) polarizes the light
beam before the light beam (14) interacts with the sample

retardations of a polarization state of the light beam.
The range of wavelengths and the compensator (8) are such
that at least a first phase retardation value is induced
that is within a primary range of effective retardations
of substantially 90° to 180°. An analyzer (10) interacts
with the light beam after the light beam interacts with
the sample (2). A detector (12) measures the intensity of
light after interacting with the analyzer (10) as a
function of compensator angle and of wavelength,
preferably at all wavelengths simultaneously. A processor
(23) determines the polarization state of the light, after
interacting with the analyzer (10), from the light
intensities measured by the detector (12).

Abstract: A method of forecasting, allocating and scheduling in a single or multi-site skills-based contact or call center environment organized into a hierarchy of zero or more business units at a first, upper level, one or more contact types at a second, intermediate level, and one or more management units at a third, lower level. A user creates (a) a set of given contact allocations that define how contacts are distributed from a given business unit to multiple contact types, and (b) a set of given requirement allocations that define how agent requirements are distributed from a contact type to one or more management units. Agent availability by contact type is then predicted to generate agent availability data. Thereafter, forecasted contacts and forecasted agent requirements are allocated based on the given contact and requirement allocations as well as the agent availability data. Preferably, the agent availability data is predicted using a schedule simulator and is characterized by contact type for agents in the same skill group.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes an address register, clocked by the clock signal corresponding to the TAP, used to address a control/status register within the integrated circuit. The address register receives a signal indicating that an address is to be loaded into the address register. A control circuit is coupled to receive the signal and to generate a second signal responsive to the address register being loaded. A shadow register, clocked by the clock signal of the integrated circuit, is coupled to receive the second signal and to load a value from the control/status register addressed by the address loaded into the address register responsive to the second signal. In this manner, a valid value from the addressed register is synchronized in the clock domain of the addressed register. The value for the shadow register may subsequently be synchronized into the clock domain of the TAP, and subsequently transferred out of the integrated circuit via the test interface.

Inventor: STERN EDITH
IPC: G08G1/0962
Filed: 2001-07-23
Abstract: The disclosed system and method for automated proximity determination and notification is useful to enable a customer or client of a business or other enterprise (e.g. a public library, a government facility, etc) to automatically obtain a predetermined service, on arrival at a destination associated with the business or enterprise, without having to communicate orally with representatives of the business/enterprise. A portable programmable wireless communication device is carried by users of such services. The device, termed a PLAD (pervasive location aware device), receives a program and proximity notification parameters associated with each destination to be visited, when service is reserved relative to the destination. Thereafter, as its user travels to the destinations, the PLAD is activated and uses the program information and parameters acquired in the reservation process to perform a proximity notification transmission characteristic of this invention as the device reaches a predetermined range of proximity to a destination. For that purpose, the PLAD calculates its distance to each currently valid destination at which a service is reserved, and sends a proximity notification signal to an address associated with a respective destination when its distance to the respective destination is less than a predetermined threshold radius limit acquired during the reservation process. Receiving equipment at the address uses the proximity notification signal to arrange for prompt execution of a reserved service when the user of the PLAD arrives at the respective destination. The PLAD also can be used in a reverse context-when its user is at a specific location and the service is being delivered to that location by a vehicle carrying another PLAD operated by or for a business/enterprise-to alert the user to the imminent arrival of that vehicle.
