  • Patent number: 8036370
    Abstract: Contact centers typically have an entry process to receive incoming contacts and distribute those appropriately amongst agents associated with the contact center. This entry process is often complex and time consuming. This invention allows users of the contact centre to reach a particular agent without undergoing the entry process. This is achieved without compromising security or giving away details about the agents.

  • Patent number: 7573695
    Abstract: An architecture and method are provided for preventing snapdown in a voltage controlled MEMS device having a movable actuator with an actuator electrode coupled to a high voltage power supply (HVPS) through a drive circuit, the movable actuator suspended over a cavity electrode formed on a substrate and coupled to a common backplane supply (VssC). Generally, the circuit includes a number of first diodes coupled between the HVPS and the actuator electrode and/or the cavity electrode to provide a forward-biased path to transfer a positive charge to the HVPS when the accumulated charge exceeds a predetermined threshold. Preferably, the drive circuit further includes second diodes to provide a low impedance path to transfer a positives charge from the actuator electrode and/or the cavity electrode to a substrate ground when the accumulated charge results in or exceeds a predetermined threshold voltage. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7571235
    Abstract: A softphone telephony application is provided within a browser using a visible frame to provide event notifications and allow a user to issue commands and a hidden frame which receive asynchronous event notifications as a dynamic HTML stream. Outgoing control commands are implemented as web service behaviours. In this way, all of the functionality required to control a CTI application on a server and to receive event notifications from the CTI application can be provided using standard browser technology and without requiring the installation of any dedicated software or the provision of non-standard communication channels.

  • Publication number: 20050138032
    Abstract: A client accesses an application provided on a server using web services to formulate appropriate commands to the application. The client additionally downloads from the server its own web services provider, and the server maintains an application to consume services provider by the client-side provider. In this way, the server is provided with the ability to issue to the client commands which can be interpreted by the client as event notifications and messages. In this way, web services can be used in parallel streams to be provide unsolicited event messaging from the client to the server and vice versa. This has particular application in the provision of a computer telephone integration (CTI) client which needs to receive unsolicited events messaging relating to a telephony device under its control.

  • Publication number: 20050082352
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for separating a semiconductor device from a substrate in a fixture with a shearing element, wherein the semiconductor device is attached to the substrate by solder connections to form an assembly, includes using the shearing element to apply a loading force to the semiconductor device. The assembly of the substrate and the semiconductor device are loaded into the fixture with the shearing element proximate the semiconductor device, and heating the solder connections of the assembly in the fixture are heated proximate the substrate to a predetermined temperature by applying a heat source to a surface of the substrate distal from the semiconductor device.
