Abstract: A system allowing human intelligence and artificial intelligence to participate in the solving of a problem together, in real time, allowing the human to tag a data set of complex interactions to indicate where the failures are and to develop a system based on this dataset that learns heuristic rules to detect when a failure is likely and to automatically request further human assistance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for managing the automatic provision of a subscriber network identifier from a central network server to a subscribed communication device, the method comprising receiving notification at the central server relating to a change in the current location for the subscribed device, and determining from the notification whether a new subscriber network identifier is to be provisioned from the central server. The method further comprises selecting a subscriber network identifier on the basis of the current location, if the determining step has determined that a new subscriber network identifier is to be provisioned, and outputting the selected subscriber network identifier for transmission to the subscribed device. The present invention also relates to managing the automatic connection of a subscribed communication device to a network, where a preferred network and preferred subscriber network identifier may be used.

Abstract: A method of managing identities for use in a mobile telecommunications device in a telecommunications network is described. First of all, an identity management process is triggered. After this, one or more parameters associated with the mobile telecommunications device is detected. The identity management process than has the following features. An identity management rule determined by the one or more parameters is detected. An identity database is then searched. Each record of the identity database comprises an identity and additional identity information for each identity, wherein the searching prioritizes records according to the identity management rule. An identity is then selected when a record conforming to the identity management rule is found in said searching. The active identity of the mobile telecommunications device is then changed to be the selected identity when the active identity is not already the selected identity.

Abstract: A capacitive touch detector comprises means to improve selectivity—a narrow band buffer. Means for reducing the effect of noise comprise capacitive coupling of the buffer into the detector, which comprises a plurality of sensor pads of different inherent capacitances and means to approximate impedances which include said capacitances and are adapted to operate at respective frequencies to approximate the impedances. At least two multiplexers are arranged in series to lower capacitance loading of the sensor pads. A synchronous demodulator is arranged to be connected as a tracking filter to track the frequency of a capacitance-measuring signal from one to another of the sensor pads, possibly during a scan thereof.

Abstract: A system for radiating sound from a movable member, with a speaker which includes a loudspeaker with a longitudinally movable speaker coil, a flat glass plate spaced from the speaker coil, and a rigid mechanical member connected between the speaker coil and the flat plate to transfer longitudinal motion of the speaker coil to the flat plate, to cause movement of the flat plate. There is also a speaker mount for acoustically and mechanically coupling the flat plate to a window to efficiently transfer plate movements to the window for causing the window to directly radiate sound as a result of speaker coil motion.
