Abstract: Disclosed is a search system and associated methods for proactively searching disparate data sources in order to track in real-time the continuously changing attributes that are searchable and to generate personalized search results for different users based on machine-generated queries of relevant searchable attributes to each user without user-defined queries or user-initiated searches. The search system continuously searches the data sources for changes to a first set of searchable attributes with relevance to a first user and to a second set of searchable attributes to a second user. The search system generates and performs a first customized query of the first set of attributes identified with the changes and a second customized query of the second set of attributes identified with the changes, and provides the personalized search results from each query to the respective user in response to detecting that respective user accessing the search system.

Abstract: A telephone line access arrangement for a telephone instrument and a modem gives priority to the telephone instrument in all instances. A microprocessor controls the modem and receives an input signal that is indicative of the existence of an off hook state for the telephone instrument. Logic device generates the input signal based upon the different electrical conditions characterizing the telephone instrument and the modem.
