  • Patent number: 8964727
    Abstract: A packetised data network includes IP telephones (ITs) and a network intelligence (NI). All of the keys of each IT are “soft” keys (i.e., they have no fixed function). The NI associates a configuration data structure with the IT which correlates the keys with functions, and, based on this, may control the display of the IT to indicate the current function of certain of the soft keys. Some of the functions are requests for data services at the telephone (e.g., video or programmed audio over the internet). When a user requests such a service with a key press, the NI sets up the service between the data source and the telephone. This may require associating a new configuration data structure with the keys of the IT. The IT user may activate multiple data services through the NI.

  • Patent number: 8214425
    Abstract: A method is set forth for compressing a file of size C for storage in a memory space of size F, where C>F, comprising compressing successive portions of the file until C?F, creating a header to the file including an offset value indicating a location separating compressed and uncompressed portions of the file, and appending the header to the file. A further method is set forth for executing a file comprising reading the header to determine the predetermined compression algorithm and the offset, copying the uncompressed portions from the memory to a RAM, decompressing the compressed portions starting at the offset, storing the decompressed portions of the load into RAM in sequence after the uncompressed portions, and executing the file from the RAM.

  • Patent number: 6818643
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the design, synthesis, and the peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPIase or rotamase) inhibitory activity of novel bicyclic diamide compounds that are neuroprotective and/or neurotrophic agents (i.e. compounds capable of stimulating growth or proliferation of nervous tissue) and that bind to immunophilins such as FKBP12 and inhibit their rotamase activity. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds.

  • Patent number: 6535604
    Abstract: A voice-switching device for use in a telephone terminal which applies an optimal amount of switched loss to a plurality of distinct receive transducers. The voice-switching device detects speech signals on the transmit and receive paths to determine a mode of operation. Based on the mode of operation the device applies optimal amount of loss to the transmit path and each output path separately. This system eliminates excessive attenuation of non-dominant receive transducers as well as optimizes the transition time from active to quiescent mode for all receive transducers.
