Patent EP-0772335-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FLOCKHART ANDREW DEREK
IPC: H04M3/00
Filed: 1996-10-22
Abstract: A call-center ACD switch (105) is modified to respond to an arriving call by determining, for those splits (110-111, 106-109) that could handle the call, the present values of a parameter that defines what is a best split for handling the call, determining from those present values which one of the splits is the best split for handling the call, and then enqueuing the call in the call queue of the best split. Alternatively, the call-center ACD switch is modified to respond to a call that overflows the call queue (130) of its primary agent split (110) by determining which one of the backup splits (111, 106-109) in which call center (143-145) is the best backup split for the call, and enqueuing the call in the call queue of the best backup split. Any desirable criterion or criteria may be used to determine which split is best for the call. A preferred criterion is queue waiting time: the best split is the one whose call queue offers the shortest in-queue waiting time. The waiting time may be either the real estimated waiting time (EWT), or the EWT weighted for other factors (WEWT) -- the cost of facilities involved in connecting the call to the split's corresponding queue, for example, or a desire to retain the call for the preferred split unless its waiting time can be improved elsewhere by a predetermined minimum amount. A queuing control function (207) is implemented as an administratively-programmable executable script, and it directs the ACD switch to obtain, for each call, the EWTs of the splits, to weight these EWTs in order to obtain the corresponding WEWTs, to compare the WEWTs with each other in order to find the split with the shortest WEWT (the best backup split), and then to enqueue the call in the queue of this best split.

Abstract: An improved method and instrumentation for performing spinal surgery, including discectomy, interbody fusion and rigid internal fixation of the spine, from the lateral aspect of the spine is disclosed. The surgical procedure can be performed through a very small incision. The instrumentation of the present invention, all of which is inserted from a lateral position into the spine in the preferred embodiment, comprises a guide pin, a distractor, an extended outer sleeve, an inner sleeve, an adjustable drill and an implant driver. The distractor of the present invention is driven into the disc for spacing apart and realigning the adjacent vertebrae. It further functions as an alignment rod for inserting the extended outer sleeve which is a hollow tubular member capable of maintaining said spacing and alignment of two adjacent vertebrae and defines a protected space through which subsequent instruments which may include, but are not limited to, a drill and a diameter reducing inner sleeve may be passed, as well as a spinal implant. The remainder of the surgical procedure consisting of the removal of spinal material across the disc, fusion, and rigid internal stabilization via the implant may all be performed via the closed space within the extended outer sleeve. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The device comprises a first operating component acting selectively on functional device for adjustment of the gear into neutral position or at least into transmitting position. A second operating component serves to set and disengage a parking brake. Devices are provided for locking the functional device by the second operating component in such a way that the functional device on setting the parking brake goes over to its neutral position, where it is maintained so long as the second operating component persists in its parking position. The functional device incorporates a rotatable transmission shaft (22) with at least one non-rotatable, radially extending transmission lever (30). Through the second operating component at least one locking lever (50) can be influenced. Between the locking lever and the transmission lever transmission devices (38,40) are arranged, which when the parking brake is set transmit forces from the locking lever to the transmission lever, in order to bring the transmission shaft into its neutral position or to hold it there.

Abstract: In a misfire detector device for internal combustion engine, an ignition coil is provided to be on-off actuated by a primary current interruptor circuit, each end of the ignition coil being connected to a spark plug installed in each cylinder of an internal combustion engine. A peak voltage detector circuit detects a peak voltage applied across the spark plug electrodes after an end of spark action of the spark plug. A peak voltage value distinction circuit recognizes a misfire when a voltage level exceeds a predetermined level which is detected by the peak voltage detector means after an end of spark action of the spark plug upon running the internal combustion engine at a high speed. A distinction circuit recognizes a variation of angles detected by the crank angle sensor so as to determine the misfire when the variation of angles exceeds a predetermined value upon running the internal combustion engine at a low speed.

Abstract: A method is provided for securely transmitting information from a
telephone to a calling party over a telephone network. In accordance with the
method, encrypted audio signals are received from the telephone over a
communication path to an authentication mechanism that may be located in the
telephone network. The communication path is then disabled by placing the
telephone is a hold state. The encrypted audio signals are decrypted to yield
decrypted audio signals. The decrypted audio signals are transmitted to the
calling party while the communication path is disabled. Finally, a
communication path is enabled from the telephone to the calling party
subsequent to transmitting the decrypted audio signals. This method provides a
high degree of security since the communication path between the user and the
authentication mechanism is disabled when the decrypted message is transmitted
to the called party. Accordingly, if a party were to intercept the communication
path between the user and the authentication mechanism (such as a listener using
a receiver to intercept a wireless telephone transmission), the party could not
intercept the decrypted message.

Abstract: The disclosure related provides a robot assembly for transferring objects, namely substrates, through a process system. A robot linkage (10, 12) is provided to a multi-plane, multi-arm robot assembly driven by two motors. A linkage is provided which is driven by two magnetic retaining rings (14, 16). The linkage comprises three cantilevered arms (18, 20, 22) extend from two magnetic retaining rings (14, 16) to support struts (24, 26, 28 and 30), wrists (27, 29) and dual plane substrate support blades (35, 37) to form robot arms (10, 12). Cantilevered arm 18 extends radially from the lower magnetic retaining ring (16) and includes an upwardly extending end portion (19) which supports transverse strut (32) above the concentric magnetic retaining rings (14, 16). Transverse strut (32) is pivotally connected to strut (28) on its lower surface at pivot (25) and to strut (26) on its upper surface at pivot (23). The thickness of transverse strut (32) determines the spacing between the blades (27, 29) and is preferably minimized. The pivots (23, 25) are preferably substantially equally spaced from the axis of rotation of the concentric magnetic retaining rings (14, 16). The equal spacing of pivots (23, 25) while using struts (24, 26) having equal length, allow substantially equal extension of each of the struts (24, 26) connected thereto on rotation of the magnetic retaining rings (14, 16). The embodiment enable a substrate shuttle operation to be performed wherein a pair of substrates can be shuttled into and out of a selected chamber without having the robot assembly rotate in the transfer and by actuation of only two motors.
