Title: Structured voicemail messages
Inventor: TUCKEY CURTIS DUANE
IPC: H04M3/533
Filed: 2000-05-04
Abstract: A sender (101) creates a voicemail message that includes a plurality of messaging elements that include embedded instructions that define a structure of the message. Other messaging elements may include textual fragments, audio fragments that refer to audio data files that are associated with the message, and/or references to textual fragments and/or audio fragments that are stored at specified locations. The instructions may define a hierarchical menu structure which, when the message is presented to the recipient (106) by a messaging system (104), offers the recipient different navigational choices from which the recipient may select and thus effect the information content of what is presented. The structured message is sent by the sender to the recipient at an address on a messaging system that stores the message and is capable of interpreting and assembling the messaging elements in accordance with the embedded instruction and playing-out the message to the recipient when the recipient accesses the system and retrieves the message from storage. The structured message may also include links to a specific destination, to which the messaging system establishes a connection if the link is selected by the recipient during play-out of the message. Further, the messaging system can gather information from the recipient during play-out and forward that information to a specified destination, which may respond with another structured message. In the described embodiment, a phone markup language is used to define the structure and the inherent embedded instructions associated with the structure of the message.

Filed: 2000-05-12
Abstract: An management information base integrative management method for an asynchronous transfer mode server is disclosed which reduces the load to be applied to CPU processing of an ATM switch body and minimize the influence upon the processing capacity of the other functions then the SNMP function. Upon accessing, from a network management system (NMS) through an ATM switch in which a plurality of servers are incorporated, a management information base of any of the servers in accordance with an SNMP procedure, one of the servers is set as a master server and the others are set as slave servers.      Then, from the ATM switch, the master server is accessed representatively in accordance with the SNMP procedure, and from the master server, any of the slave servers is accessed over a virtual connection (VC). A PVC is used for the communication between the ATM switch and the master server, and an SVC is used for the communication between the master server and any of the slave servers.

Patent CA-2315028-A1 (CA)
Title: Spill-resistant container
Inventor: HO I-CHUNG
IPC: A01G9/24
Filed: 2000-08-03
Abstract: A spill-resistant container for storing and dispensing a liquid, the container having a curved neck which prevents the liquid from spilling when being poured out of the opening of the container. For example, the spill-resistant container may have a curved neck in the form of a number " 7 ", a letter " Z " or a letter " S ". When the spill-resistant container that is full of liquid is tilted such that the liquid level inside the container is higher than the liquid level at the opening of the container, no liquid flows out of the container. The liquid will start to flow out of the container only after the container is tilted beyond a predetermined start-to-pour angle. The start-to-pour angle is reached when the container is tilted enough so that the outside air starts to enter the container and the liquid inside the container starts to flow out of the container. This design makes pouring a liquid from a full container much less likely to spill. The curved passageway creates additional flow restriction in comparison with the ordinary containers without such design. This added flow restriction results in longer filling time and more "glugging" while pouring. A separate vent passageway of this disclosure is an improvement to overcome glugging due to the additional flow restriction in the curved passageway. This vent passageway provides a separate route for the release of inside air during filling process and allows ambient air to enter the container during pouring. Therefore, it improves the filling time and eliminates or greatly reduces the "glugging" of pouring. A special designed liquid level indicator is also provided to indicate liquid level within a small viewing area of the liquid container. The container finds particular application as a separate water container to be connected to planter inserts for self-watering planters.

Patent CA-2326830-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FORTIER RICHARD C
IPC: A61B17/12
Filed: 1999-04-02
Abstract: An improved elastic band for ligating tissue within a living body comprises a central opening defining an axis. A first curved edge is formed between a first surface extending substantially parallel to the axis and a second surface extending substantially perpendicular to the axis. A method of ligating tissue within a living body using such a ligating band comprises the steps of positioning the elastic band, which has been stretched to increase the size of a central opening extending therethrough, adjacent to a portion of tissue to be ligated. The tissue to be ligated is then drawn through the central opening of the elastic band and the elastic band is released so that the size of the central opening decreases to grip the tissue received therein.

IPC: H01R12/70
Filed: 2001-05-07
Abstract: A stiffener assembly for mechanically supporting the main body of an electrical connector to a circuit substrate, such as a daughterboard Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The PCB stiffener assembly is utilized to minimize bowing in the PC Board. The stiffener assembly includes a two-piece or split body having a top clamp and a bottom channel. A latch formed on the top clamp fits over and connectively engages a retention structure disposed on a rear surface of the connector housing. A bottom portion of the top clamp is disposed with in the bottom channel. The bottom channel rests on the PCB and the legs of the bottom channel extend upward form the surface of the PCB. One leg of the bottom channel rest against the rear panel and fits under the retention structure. Fasteners pass through the PCB and the bottom  channel and engage the top clamp thereby retaining the connector on the PCB. The stiffener assembly simultaneously aligns one or more connector modules to one another creating a one piece "mo no- block" like effect while at the same time acting to stiffen the PCB thereby reducing any  PCB bowing. The two-piece stiffener assembly allows for individual connector modules to be removed from the PCB by simply removing the top clamp portion of the PCB stiffener assembly. The stiffener provides a mechanism for mechanically supporting the main body of a connecto r module to a  daughterboard PCB in a manner that is easy to manufacture and cost effectiv e.

Title: Plate type heat exchanger for exhaust gas heat recovery
Inventor: STANSFIELD TOD A
IPC: F24D12/02
Filed: 2001-06-13
Abstract: An exhaust gas heat recuperation system for use with a boiler is disclosed.  The heat recuperation system includes a plate-type heat exchanger for exhaust gas heat recovery for exchanging heat between an exhaust gas and a charge gas. The heat exchanger preferably includes a series of exhaust gas plates stacked alternately with, and parallel to, a series of charge gas plates. Each of the exhaust gas plates and charge gas plates have raised contained ridges to form a substantially sinusoidal path for directing the respective gas therealong. The shape of the path reduces exhaust gas particulate deposition. The charge gas flows in a countercurrent to the exhaust gas to facilitate maximum heat transfer. The heat exchange is particularly useful in laminar flow conditions. In one embodiment, the heat exchanger is connected to exhaust gas inlet and outlet conduits, change gas inlet and outlet conduits, and a condensate collection changer as part of an exhaust gas heat recuperation system, for use particularly in steam or hot water boiler applications. The heat exchanger can be used as a retrofit to existing boilers or integrated into a single unit as part of a new boiler construction.
