  • Multi-function telecommunications instrument
    Patent number: 5631745
    Abstract: A telephone terminal adapted for business or home use that includes the ability to receive and send facsimiles, a voice answering function and a computer modem. Various input and output devices may be used for the facsimile function. A voice annotated facsimile may be sent and received. At the same time the facsimile is viewed on a video monitor or ordinary television set, an accompanying voice message is heard through the sound system of the monitor or television set. The terminal has an architecture including a central processor and an internal bus structure to which several types of memory, various input-output devices and an interface with the telephone line are connected, among others. Audio Random Access Memory (ARAM) is used for storing both facsimile data and voice data.

  • Memory management technique for defective memory
    Patent number: 5537631
    Abstract: A memory management technique is provided for managing the storage and retrieval of data within an ARAM memory array such that both fault tolerant data and fault non-tolerant data can be stored within the ARAM array without such data becoming corrupted due to the faulty bits within the ARAM memory. The memory management technique of the present invention also includes a method for creating a novel facsimile header format which makes it less likely for the header information to be corrupted due to faulty memory cells within the ARAM memory array.
