Abstract: A message processing device is adapted to obtain text data and read aloud the
text data aloud by using a voice synthesizer. A loudspeaker device (16) is connected
to the message processing device to output or read aloud the text data. The text data
can be received through a receiving device (11) that receives outside information data
or e-mail message data. The voice synthesizer (17) can be controlled by an outside
information controller (13), with the outside information controller being able to
distinguish senders of the text data and being able to select one voice tone data to read
aloud messages sent by one sender. If the controller (13) recognizes that there are
other messages sent by another sender, the controller (13) allots different voice tone
data for the other sender's messages. The message processing device (33) can include
a voice navigation device (34) to generate voice signals for giving route guidance
messages or information to a driver of a vehicle. The voice tone used for the route
guidance message is preferably different from the voice tone used to read aloud the
outside information message. It is thus possible for the driver to recognize the source
or senders of different messages being read aloud. It is also possible to adjust the
output timing of the route guidance message and the outside information message.

the substrate to form openings over selected regions of the substrate; providing a
colorant layer having a heat transferable colorant material on a second substrate
and positioning the second substrate such that the heat transferable colorant layer is
in transferable relationship with but spaced a distance from the first substrate;
heating the second substrate sufficiently to cause substantially all of the heat

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring a reference sample in order to
collect a reference characteristic, without moving the reference sample, is
disclosed. In one embodiment, the method of the present invention
comprises the following steps. An operator places a cassette of unprocessed
wafers into a processing chamber of a processing tool that also includes a
holding chamber (400). While the wafers are being processed, the holding
chamber, which is coupled to a measurement tool, measures the reference
sample (403) that is mounted on a stage (401) in the holding chamber. The resulting
reference characteristic value (e.g., spectrum to determine film thickness) is
then stored in the measurement tool's computer system. After a film is
grown/formed on the wafers, the processed wafers are moved one by one into
the holding chamber to be measured. A first wafer (502) is placed on the stage (401) in
the holding chamber and a characteristic value for the first processed wafer is
obtained using the measurement tool. The computer system of the
measurement tool uses an algorithm to compare the reference characteristic
value to the first wafer characteristic value to obtain a first differential value.
The first differential value is then used to help determine the characteristic
(e.g., film thickness) of the film formed on the first processed wafer. In
another embodiment, a similar process is followed to measure another
characteristic of a wafer, such as resistivity. These examples are illustrative
and not limiting. Thus, the present invention can be used whenever a
reference sample is to be measured to help determine a selected characteristic
of a substrate or wafer.

Abstract: A cutting structure for a rotary drag-type drill bit includes a number of cutting
elements (76) mounted on blades (73, 74) on the bit body (70), or on a carrier secured
to the blade. The surface of each blade on which the cutting elements are mounted is
formed with a number of grooves (82), adjacent the cutting elements, each groove
leading to one of the cutting elements. The downstream ends of the grooves are located
near a nozzle (81) in the bit body through which a jet of drilling fluid emerges, so that
the grooves direct to the front of the respective cutting elements the flow of drilling fluid
which impinges on the grooves. The flow of drilling fluid directed towards each cutting
element serves to break up cuttings removed from the formation by the cutting element
and to carry the cuttings away from the element.

characteristic polynomial is known. The apparatus and method uses knowledge about the structure of
the signal generator (i.e. the order of the characterizing polynomial of the encoding PN sequence),

success in determining the period as longer sequences having at least the length of the period

Abstract: Telephone service is supplied using a distributed architecture that employs a
collection of resources each of which exposes a hierarchical namespace. The architecture
includes two fundamental resource types, the device server and the call coordinator, which
are interconnected by a network employing a common protocol, eg., TCP/IP. The
interaction between the various resources follows "client-server" principles to implement
end-to-end communication. Device servers represent physical/logical telephone devices,
which include a) end-point device servers and b) gateway device servers. End-point device
servers 1) represent controls for communication, such as keypads, indicator lamps, and
displays, and 2) perform media rendering, e.g., voice digitization, transport, and
reconstruction. Gateway device servers have two "sides". One side is implemented to
appear to a call coordinator as if it were a device server, and the other side has an
interface adapted to interwork with a preexisting island of telephone service. In the term
"device server", "server is used in the conventional manner of the "client-server"
architecture, where the server serves request from the clients and does not take action
unless it is in response to a client request. A call coordinator functions in the role of the
"client". The device servers are unaware of communication state, which is maintained by
the call coordinator and exposed as a hierarchical namespace. The call coordinator treats
the processing of a call as a sequence of steps each of which can be implemented by a
small piece of computer executable code called a "feature applet".
