Abstract: A method and system adaptively substitutes a single dialing button sequence for a selected
action in a voice menu of a telephone system. A shortcut message in the voice menu
prompts a caller to select a shortcut button to acheive a shortcut action. The system then
accumulates counts related to frequencies of occurrence of a plurality of actions prompted by
the voice menu. The system then ranks the plurality of actions by their respective
accumulated counts and determines if any one of the plurality of actions has an accumulated
count greater than an accumulated count of the shortcut action. If it does, then the system
causes the substitution the one of the plurality of actions and a corresponding message for the
shortcut action and the shortcut message in the voice menu.

Abstract: The device has a connector part (1) with outer thread, and a passage part (3) with internal stop (4) for a pipe (5). The passage part has a fastener section (8) with internal ribs (9). When the pipe has been inserted, the section is radially deformed so that its diameter decreases towards the connector part end. The ribs press against the pipe and deform its circumference, so that it is anchored in the part. A ring-shaped groove (6) contains an elastic seal (7). This is deformed when the pipe is inserted into the passage part, and forms an effective seal. The connector part consists of a metal material, preferably brass, and the pipe is of plastic.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved full face vehicle wheel including a rim joined to a disc. The rim defines an axis and includes an inboard tire bead seat retaining flange, an inboard tire bead seat, an axially extending well, and an outboard tire bead seat. The outboard tire bead seat of the rim terminates at an axial endmost surface. The disc includes a body having a centrally located wheel mounting surface and an outer annular portion. The outer annular portion of the disc defines an outboard tire bead seat retaining flange of the full face wheel. The outer annular portion of the disc includes a protuberance formed therein. The protuberance defines a generally radially extending non-flat outer surface and a generally radially extending inner surface. The inner surface of the protuberance defines a fit-up surface for receiving the axial endmost surface of said rim and a weld to join said disc to said rim. The protuberance in the outer flange of the disc is effective to reduce the radial length of an outer flat surface which is formed in the outer flange of the disc to thereby improve the styling of the full face wheel.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image predictive decoding method in which
image data obtained by compressively coding a variable-size image
using a prescribed method is input, a prediction image is
generated using, as a reference image, at least one reproduced
image which has been reproduced before an image being an object
of decoding, and the object image is subjected to predictive
decoding. In this method, the prediction image is generated
using, as a reference image, at least one reproduced image which
has been recently reproduced and includes significant image data
to be referred to. Therefore, when plural objects constituting
an image are subjected to compressive coding and transmitted
object by object to increase the compression efficiency, it is
avoided that a variable-size image which has already disappeared
is used as the reference image for predictive decoding. As a
result, coded data obtained by efficient compressive coding that
suppresses the code quantity can be appropriately decoded.

Abstract: A hollow metal body is shaped by a process including simultaneous
stretching and bending. The body is stretched longitudinally by pulling end portions in
opposite directions with sufficient force to exceed an elastic limit and to initiate
elongation through plastic deformation. While the body is being stretched longitudinally,
it is bent between its end portions transversely of the direction of pulling. Solid
polymeric first and second mandrels are inserted into end portions of the body to prevent
collapse during bending.

Abstract: The viscosity of a solvent is modified by
thickening the solvent with a silicone latex. A silicone
latex having a plurality of crosslinked polysiloxane
particles is first prepared by mixing the siloxane polymer,
a surfactant and water; emulsifying the mixture to a gel
phase; diluting the emulsion with water; adding a cure
package (i.e., a catalyst, a crosslinker or both, or a self
catalytic crosslinker); and then without removing the water
from the latex and after the particles of siloxane polymer
in the latex have been cured, mixing the latex and solvent
to thicken the solvent, forming viscous liquids, gels, and
pastes. Water in the latex thickened solvent composition is
stabilized by adding a silicone polyether during mixing of
the latex and the solvent. These stabilized latex thickened
solvent compositions have beneficial properties such as
clarity, shelf stability, and ease of preparation; and
therefore have wide areas of application, especially as
additives in antiperspirants, deodorants and other personal
care applications.

Abstract: A copper plated aluminum wire improved in the adhesion is fabricated by
a method which comprises a zinc displacement step of forming a zinc thin
layer by zinc displacement on the surface of an aluminum or aluminum alloy
conductor, an electroplating step of coating the surface of the zinc thin layer
continuously with copper layers by electroplating to have a copper coated
aluminum conductor, and a thermal diffusion step of heat treating the copper
coated aluminum conductor at a temperature of 120 °C to 600 °C under an
inert gas atmosphere for thermal diffusion to ease the electrodeposition
stress. 
     Accordingly, the resultant copper plated aluminum wire can easily be
shaped by cold plastic working process, decreased in the diameter at higher
efficiency, and improved in the power of adhesion. 
     A plated aluminum wire is provided comprising an anchor metal layer by
displacement plating, a low thermally conductive metal layer by electroplating,
and a high electrically conductive metal layer by electroplating which all are
deposited in a sequence on the outer surface an aluminum or aluminum alloy
conductor. 
     Accordingly, the resultant plated aluminum wire or insulating plated
aluminum wire can be minimized in the overall weight and prevented from
disconnection caused by thermal diffusion. 
     A plated aluminum wire is provided comprising an anchor metal layer by
displacement plating and a high electrically conductive metal layer by
electroplating which both are deposited in a sequence on the outer surface an
aluminum or aluminum alloy conductor.  
     Accordingly, the resultant plated aluminum wire or insulating plated
aluminum wire can be minimized in the overall weight. 
     A composite light-weighted plated wire is provided having an electrically
conductive metal layer, which has a potential equal to or higher than that of
zinc, deposited by electroplating on the outer surface of a zinc anchor metal
layer provided on an aluminum conductor, said electroplating carried out under
a condition that the concentration of hydrogen ion in an electrolyte solution is
higher than 4 (pH) as an electrolysis parameter and the thickness of plating x
(micrometer) is 0.2<x≦5. 
     Accordingly, the resultant composite light-weighted plated wire can be
improved in the adhesion between the aluminum conductor and the electrically
conductive metal layer, easily shaped by plastic forming process, decreased in
the diameter at higher efficiency, and improved in the reliability of soldering
work.
