Title: Voicemail notification text message includes identifier linking to voicemail for playback
Inventor: DOULTON DANIEL MICHAEL
IPC: G10L15/00
Filed: 2004-04-22
Abstract: A caller initiates a voice call to a mobile telephone, which is diverted to a voicemail server where the caller leaves a voice message. The voice message is converted into an audio file format, which is sent or streamed over a wide area network to a voice to text transcription system comprising a network of computers. One of the networked computers plays back the audio file to a human operator and the operator intelligently transcribes the original voice message into the computer to generate a transcribed text message, which is then sent to the mobile telephone. However, if the operator determines that the voice message can not be transcribed, then the computer sends a notification text message to the mobile telephone that includes a unique identification that links to the voice message held at the voicemail server for playback to the mobile telephone.

Title: Internal combustion engine exhaust arrangement with reduced pumping losses
Inventor: WILLIAMS ANDREW MORGAN
IPC: F02B35/02
Filed: 2008-10-17
Abstract: An exhaust arrangement 16 for an i.c. engine 10 comprises a first exhaust duct 18 and a second exhaust duct 20 for the exhaust flow from the engine. A valve arrangement is provided, preferably comprising separate first and second exhaust valves 22,24 associated with each engine cylinder 12 , to selectively direct exhaust from engine 10 to the first exhaust duct 18 during a first exhaust period, and to the second exhaust duct 20 during a subsequent second exhaust period. A turbine 28 having an inlet 26 is connected to the first exhaust duct 18, and a compressor 32 drivingly connected to and driven by the turbine 28 has an inlet 34 connected to second duct 20. The compressor 32 reduces the back pressure in the exhaust system 16 so reducing pumping losses, with the second duct 20 bypassing the turbine in the second exhaust period such that the turbine 28 also does not increase the exhaust back pressure at least during the main second exhaust phase. As a result this overall improves the efficiency of the exhaust system 16 and of the engine 10.
