Abstract: Travelers can be reached via a cellular telephone call while at a remote location (160-1--160-N), by using a mobility system (110/130) containing a database record (120/140) for each traveler using the system. The record contains information indicating the traveler's itinerary, including the dates/times during which the traveler will be away from home, and an information field containing the "reach number" of a cellular telephone instrument to be provided to the traveler in each remote location. A temporary personal communication service (PCS) traveler profile is established for the traveler, and the PTN is given to the traveler for distribution to persons likely to call the traveler while he or she is away from home. The profile is arranged to include the reach numbers of the specific cellular telephone instruments that are to be provided to the traveler; the profile is made "active" only for the time period during which the traveler will have that telephone instrument. When a call is placed to the traveler (using the PTN) during a time period when the traveler is away from home, the PCS traveler profile is retrieved, and the call is completed to the cellular telephone number corresponding to the specific cellular telephone instrument that was provided to the traveler. Optionally, callers who use the PTN to reach the traveler are interrupted by a prompting device that apprises the callers of the fact that the traveler is away from home, and permits them to hang up or leave a message (in 105) for the traveler.

Abstract: An improved method for the preparation of saccharide fatty acid polyesters via a two-step process is provided. In the first step, a saccharide is partially esterified so as to contain, on average, between about 1.5 to 3.5 lower acyl ester groups. In the second step, the partially esterified saccharide is reacted with a fatty acid-containing reagent (for example, fatty acids, fatty acid esters, salts of fatty acids, or fatty acid anhydrides) whereby the lower acyl ester groups and the hydroxyl groups on the partially esterified saccharide are replaced with fatty acid ester groups in a transesterification reaction to form a saccharide fatty acid polyesters. The use of a partially esterified saccharide as a reactant in the transesterification reaction allows for a more homogeneous reaction system, less caramelization or other decomposition reactions, and less low molecular weight ester by-product formation. The saccharide fatty acid polyesters, especially the sucrose fatty acid polyesters, are useful as fat substitutes or low-calorie fats in food compositions.

Abstract: An automated method for modifying a speech signal in a telephone network applies a gain factor (24) which is a function of the level of background noise (22) at a given destination, and transmits the modified speech signal (25) to the destination. The gain applied (by 25) may be a function of both the background noise level and the original speech signal. Either a linear or a non-linear (e.g., compressed) amplification of the original speech signal may be performed (in 25), where a compressed amplification results in the higher level portions of the speech signal being amplified by a smaller gain factor than lower level portions. The speech signal may be separated into a plurality of subbands, each resultant subband signal being individually modified in accordance with the present invention. In this case, each subband speech signal is amplified by a gain factor based on a corresponding subband noise signal, generated by separating the background noise signal into a corresponding plurality of subbands. The individual modified subband signals may then be combined to form the resultant modified speech signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides improved techniques for metallizing ceramic substrates. The method comprises providing a ceramic substrate (20) and depositing a layer of reducible material (30) on the ceramic substrate. The layer of reducible material includes a reducible ceramic such as copper oxide. The ceramic substrate having the layer of reducible material disposed thereon is heated and the reducible material is contacted with a reducing agent to create a conductive region. The conductive region is either a metallized region formed by reduction, or it is a conductive ceramic formed through surface reduction. The present invention further provides a metallized ceramic substrate. The metallized layer comprises ceramic regions (40) having at least one constituent in common with the ceramic substrate. The ceramic substrate and the ceramic regions of the metallized layer are sintered to each other such that the metallized region (42) is interspersed between the sintered ceramic regions. In this fashion, the metal is firmly held to the ceramic substrate due to the presence of the bonded ceramic within the metallized layer.

Abstract: A developer cartridge (20) for image forming apparatuses which performs development to form images with non-magnetic, one-component type developer. The developer cartridge (20) comprises a developing roller (22) for supplying developer (24) to a photoconductor drum (5a), a developer feed roller (23) for conveying and supplying developer (24) to the developing roller (22) which is placed in non-contact with the developing roller (22) and a developer-layer thickness control member (27) for controlling the thickness of the developer layer of the developing roller (22) in a developer tank (49). The developer feed roller (23) is shaped as a regular polygonal prism. 
     The above configuration contributes to increased capacity of conveyance as compared with circular-section developer feed rollers of the prior art. Additionally, since no recess sections are formed in the surface of the regular polygonal prism, the torque does not increase when developer (24) is scrubbed, thus ensuring consistent operation. The result is improved image quality. 
     Non-magnetic, one-component type developer (440) is deposited in a compressed manner on the developing roller (444) located in the region of development which faces a photoconductor (401) with latent images formed thereon, by supplying the developer (440) in the developer tank (441) to the developer-conveying, developing roller (444) via the agitation roller (442) and the feed member (443) and then sending the supplied developer (440) into the bottleneck between the developing roller (444) and the applying member (446). The developer which passes through the bottleneck is controlled for a consistent amount of application to the developing roller (444) by its temporarily residing in the developer reservoir confined by the developing roller (444), the control roller (445) and the applying member (446), for pressurization thereof to ensure application of the developer (440) to the developing roller (444), followed by rotation of the control roller (445). 
     The above configuration serves to lower friction of developer with the developing roller (444) and the control roller (445), thereby preventing deposition of developer (440) on the control roller (445) while establishing a consistent amount of developer (440) applied to the developing roller (444).
