Patent CA-2184211-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OTTO MARY RITA
IPC: H04M3/51
Filed: 1996-08-27
Abstract: This invention relates to methods and apparatus for completing calls to selected agents of an ACD (Automatic Call Distributor). In accordance with this invention, callers to the ACD are frequently assigned a preferred agent for handling their transactions. When these callers call the basic number of the ACD, they are identified and routed preferably, to the preferred agent if that agent is logged on. If the callers have not completed a transaction, the agent who is serving a call for that transaction provides a transaction number to the caller and the caller subsequently is connected to the agent associated with that transaction number. Advantageously, callers can normally be served by the same agent while still having the advantage of having their calls queued to any available agent of the ACD if the preferred agent for handling a caller or handling a transaction is not available.
Patent CA-2185389-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PARK KWANG HO
IPC: G09G1/04
Filed: 1996-09-12
Abstract: Apparatus and method for automatically adjusting a picture size of a video appliance such as a monitor.   According to the apparatus and method, since electrical characteristic data of the video appliance employing the apparatus of the present invention is preset therein, regardless of input of any external data, a user's one time input or automatic picture-adjusting mode selection makes  external  input  data  and preset  characteristic  data  be compared, and the horizontal and vertical picture size of the video appliance  in the video appliance  is automatically adjusted.          Therefore, the adjusting step is simplified in the manufacturing process of monitor, promoting productivity, and decreasing the cost thereof.

Inventor: HILL RUSSELL J
IPC: C23C14/30
Filed: 1996-09-16
Abstract: The invention discloses an apparatus for depositing a Spindt emitter forming substance on a field emission source substrate by electron beam evaporation so that a maximum allowed deposition angle is not exceeded.  The apparatus comprises at least one electron beam evaporation source located opposite to the substrate to deposit the substance on at least two regions of the substrate located adjacent to one another.  At least one partition is configured to isolate at least one vapor cloud emanating from said at least one electron beam evaporation source so that deposition on each one of said at least two regions does not exceed to maximum allowed deposition angle in other of said at least two regions. The at least one electron beam evaporation source is spaced from the substrate a source to substrate distance so that the maximum allowed deposition angle is not exceed in each of the at least two regions of the substrate. The source to substrate distance is less than that required to not exceed the maximum allowed deposition angle had a single electron beam evaporation source been used to simultaneously deposit the substance on said at least two regions of the substrate.

Title: Coding of a speech or music signal with quantization of harmonics components specifically and then residue components
Inventor: OZAWA KAZUNORI
IPC: G10L25/90
Filed: 1996-12-20
Abstract: Harmonics coefficients are estimated in primary coefficients of an orthogonal transform of a speech input signal or a music input signal by using a pitch frequency extracted from the input signal and are quantized into a harmonics code vector. Residue coefficients are calculated by removing the harmonics coefficients from the primary coefficients and quantized into residue code vectors.and gain code vectors. It is possible to search harmonics excitation pulses at the harmonics locations for harmonics quantization into the harmonics code vector. On the other hand, it is possible to estimate the harmonics coefficients or excitation pulses by using quantized LSP parameters and to calculate secondary coefficients for use in weighting the harmonics quantization and residue quantization and, if applicable, in an excitation pulse search.

Title: Laser projector
Inventor: HARDIE ROBERT J
IPC: H04N9/31
Filed: 1997-02-03
Abstract: A laser light based image projection apparatus and method for projecting full colour moving images comprising a plurality of colour daub components onto a remote viewing screen comprises a source of digital image data in the form of inter-related colour position co-ordinates and colour intensity values at any instant in time, which digital image data are analyzed by a colour value analyzer to derive therefrom specific red, blue, and green colour intensity components and specific red, blue, and green colour position co-ordinates. Time-based laser intensity control signals, time-based directional control signals, specific laser addresses, and projectiontiming parameters are calculated, and are used to produce laser actuation signals that control narrow diameter beam red, blue, and green lasers, to control optically adjusted wide diameter beam red, blue, and green lasers, and to control optically adjusted very wide diameter beam red, blue, and green lasers. The time-based directional control signals are received by a laser beam deflector and are used to direct each beam of laser light to its intended location on the remote viewing screen, so as to form corresponding colour daub components. The colour daub components combine together in an overlapping manner to form full colour moving images. The apparatus and method of the present invention also provide the versatility of projecting an image of virtually any type onto a viewing screen that may be either a flat, curved or spherical, and be of virtually any size.
