Patent number: 11689479Abstract: Generating a user unavailability alert in a collaborative environment. An embodiment can include receiving a user input from a user indicating an unavailability of the user. Responsive to the user input, activity of the user in the collaborative environment can be analyzed to identify whether any pending actions are allocated to the user which relate to other people identified by the user's participation in the collaborative environment. Responsive to determining at least one pending action is allocated to the user which relates to at least one other person identified by the user's participation in the collaborative environment, a first message can be generated to be communicated to the at least one other person indicating the unavailability of the user, and the first message can be communicated to the at least one other person.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2017Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Gerard Cunningham, Elaine Hanley, Ronan M. O'Suilleabhain, Fred Raguillat

Publication number: 20050221767Abstract: A high frequency module comprises a high frequency switch and a coupler. The high frequency switch selectively allows a transmission signal terminal or a reception signal terminal to be connected to an antenna terminal. The coupler is provided between the transmission signal terminal and the high frequency switch and detects transmission signals. The coupler incorporates a main line and a subline electromagnetically coupled. The subline has a width smaller than the width of the main line. Where the coupling C of the coupler is ?X dB and the directivity D of the coupler is ?Y dB, X is within a range of 10 to 21 inclusive and Y is 21 or greater.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2004Publication date: October 6, 2005Inventors: Satoshi Suga, Gerard Cunningham
