  • Patent number: 5991365
    Abstract: A system that provides users with the capability to access messages contained in a remote universal multimedia mailbox interfaces with an underlying universal messaging server which provides a repository for voice, fax, e-mail, etc. . . . This interface is accomplished through a standard e-mail protocol used to add voice reply messages from a message generator to the universal mailbox through the universal messaging server as well as through a message management library contained within a mailbox access manager that provides access to message components contained in the universal mailbox. The operation of the present invention is guided by a telephony attendant which interfaces with a telephone. The telephony attendant also controls a media converter which converts media to fax or media to audio and an audio/fax player which interfaces with the telephone or a fax machine.

  • Patent number: 4954830
    Abstract: A method is provided for calculating the unambiguous ranges of a radar target in a radar system employing multiple PRFs. The radar system provides digitized data items indicative of return signals in each of a plurality of range intervals for each PRF. A base PRF is selected and a range interval containing a target return signal is selected therefrom. This range interval is correlated with particular range intervals of the remining PRFs to find specific target return signals therefrom which satisfy a first predetermined relationship. This relationship generally provides that a target is identified if a preselected number of correlated range intervals of all PRFs have target return signals therein. If this relationship is satisfied, the target range is calculated from a range equation.
