  • Patent number: 8498199
    Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments relate to a provider edge node and a related method. The provider edge node may include a receiver that receives at least one packet transmitted over a TDM pseudowire using a structure-agnostic transmission mechanism. The provider edge node may also include a physical interface configured to output frames to a corresponding customer edge (CE) device and a machine-readable storage medium that stores a TDM framing type corresponding to the physical interface. Finally, the provider edge node may include a circuit emulation engine that, during periods in which a network error has occurred, transmits a plurality of frames to the CE device over the physical interface. A TDM data payload of each frame may include an idle pattern, while a group of framing bits of the plurality of frames may define a framing pattern corresponding to the TDM framing type stored for the physical interface.

  • Publication number: 20070047693
    Abstract: According to an embodiment on the present invention, a method for controlling a voice recorder is disclosed. The voice recorder is for recording a voice session between an origination device and a destination device. The method can be conveniently executed at a computing apparatus coupled to the origination device and to the voice recorder. The method comprises receiving at least one of a user identifier associated with a user of the origination device and a destination identifier associated with the destination device. The method further comprises generating a voice recording trigger using at least one of data associated with the user identifier and data associated with the destination identifier. The voice recording trigger is then transmitted to the voice recorder to enable the voice recorder to control recording of the voice session between the origination device and the destination device.

  • Publication number: 20070047694
    Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, a method for communicating data associated with a user of a voice device is disclosed. A server receives a first identifier associated with a first device, the first device comprising one of the voice device and the data device. The server determines a second identifier associated with a second device based on the first identifier, the second device comprising the other one of the voice device and the data device. The server then establishes a connection with the second device using the second identifier and communicates data associated with the user of the voice device between the server and the data device. The communicated data can represent a user identifier (such as a user identifier stored on a smart card, the user's iris scan, the user's fingerprint scan and the like).

  • Patent number: 6190510
    Abstract: Provided are a process and apparatus for purifying a gas. In accordance with the process, the gas to be purified flows through a hollow dielectric tube. An electric field is created in the gas to be purified by a traveling electromagnetic wave which travels in the dielectric tube and creates, in the gas, an atmospheric-pressure plasma which is not in local thermodynamic equilibrium, for the purpose of dissociating impurities in the gas to form reactive compounds. The formed reactive compounds are reacted with a corresponding reactive material for eliminating the reactive compounds from the gas to be purified.

An electric field in the gas to be purified is created by a traveling electromagnetic wave which travels in the dielectric tube and is suitable for creating, in the gas, an atmospheric-pressure plasma which is not in local thermodynamic equilibrium, for the purpose of dissociating impurities in the gas in order to form reactive compounds. The formed reactive compounds are reacted with a corresponding reactive material for eliminating the reactive compounds from the gas to be purified.

  • Patent number: 5089244
    Abstract: Process for preparing disilane, wherein a raw gas including monosilane, disilane, trisilane and impurities such as phosphine, hydrogen sulfide, arsine, disiloxane and higher siloxanes, undergoes a step of separation by distillation for the substantial elimination of the other compounds of silicon, except disiloxane, and the substantial elimination of phosphine, hydrogen sulfide and arsine impurities, wherein a final purification of the disilane takes place by selective adsorption on molecular sieves, in which one is a sieve of type 3 A and which is used for the elimination of the siloxanes and hydrogen sulfide and the other is a sieve of type 4 A for the elimination of phosphine and arsine.

  • Patent number: 4090621
    Abstract: Apparatus suited for the vertically superimposed parking of a pair of motor vehicles including at least a first platform mounted for pivoting between a loading-unloading position and a position which permits access to a storage area located beneath the platform. The apparatus is characterized by the platform being mounted for pivoting about a geometric axis oriented transversely of the platform and located so as to impart a balance-like equilibrium to the entire platform assembly.
