  • Patent number: 6733703
    Abstract: Precise control of the shrinkage upon sintering of bodies made from mixtures of particulate materials and organic binders is achieved through precision pycnometry of the particulate materials and of the resulting sintered bodies, thus allowing a single molding tool to be used to produce parts in different sizes and from different materials and to tight manufacturing tolerances.

  • Patent number: 6728668
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for simulated error injection for processor deconfiguration design verification is provided. A simulated error condition request is received from a user through software, such as the operating system executing in the multiprocessor data processing system. In response to the requested simulated error condition, an error condition is injected into a processor of the multiprocessor data processing system via instruction execution. In response to the detection of the error condition and execution of error-path code, a processor is deconfigured. The error condition may be injected by executing an instruction to set an error condition bit in an error condition register.

  • Publication number: 20040041832
    Abstract: A method and system for displaying information at a remote display device from an information processing system that lacks video display components causes the information processing system to initiate system memory to store video information despite the lack of video components, thus allowing applications to write display information to the system memory and allowing the information handling system to re-direct the display information to the remote display. For instance, the information handling system BIOS includes a video function module that detects a lack of video display components, determines that the information handling system is a headless server, and initiates system memory to store video information. A remote display module associated with the BIOS monitors the system memory and re-directs detected display information stored in the system memory to a remote information handling system that displays the information.

  • Publication number: 20040038672
    Abstract: Systems and methods for announcing audio calling identification information associated with an incoming communications signal from a calling party to a wireless communications device are disclosed. The invention makes use of a translatable telephone number associated with a wireless communications device of a subscribing customer. The translatable telephone number includes a wireless telephone number of a wireless communications device and also includes an access telephone number that is associated with an access address serviced by a communications network. The wireless communications device is typically serviced by a separate wireless communications network that connects with the communications network over a communications link. The calling party dials the access telephone number and the incoming communications signal is detected, decoded, and processed to generate an audio communication by the communications network.

  • Publication number: 20040037410
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed for providing Caller Control of Internet Call Waiting (ICW) Services. In an embodiment, a calling party places an incoming call to a called telephone number having an active ICW session and data connection. The calling party may enter an authorized code that authorizes interruption or disabling of ICW and the data connection. The interrupt code entered by the calling party is received in a telecommunications network, such as, for example the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) or a mobile switching network. The telecommunications network verifies that the interrupt code to enable caller control, and, thereafter, disables or interrupts the ICW session and data connection to connect the incoming call.

  • Publication number: 20040037266
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed for providing Internet Call Waiting (ICW) Messaging Services. In an embodiment, a calling party places an incoming call to a called telephone number having an active ICW session and data connection. A telecommunications system allows a calling party to communicate an ICW message to a computer system engaged in the ICW session and data connection. The telecommunications system may also allow a called party (e.g., the user of the computer system) to communicate a response to the ICW message and, thus, allow interactive ICW messaging.

  • Patent number: 6693601
    Abstract: A micro-electromagnetic device is formed by providing internal channels in a ceramic housing sintered from ceramic materials with high dielectric strength and infiltrating these channels with molten metal. The invention allows the fabrication of arrays of ceramic embedded micro-electromagnetic devices as well as ceramic embedded helical micro-antennas designed for use in the high GHz and THz regions at a fraction of the present cost of manufacturing of such devices and with virtually no restriction to their miniaturization.

  • Publication number: 20030233664
    Abstract: A system and method for creating a controlling device. In response to a user specifying one or more operating criteria for the controlling device, the system selects executable instructions from a library of executable instructions and command code sets from a library of command code sets that are to be stored in the memory of the controlling device. In addition, the system uses the criteria to suggest command key/command code mappings for use within the controlling device. The user may interact with the system to modify the selected executable instructions, command code sets, and command key/command code mappings. When stored in the memory of the controlling device, the executable instructions are to be used to perform various operations and functions within the controlling device and the command codes are to be transmitted from the controlling device to command the operation of controllable devices in response to activation of one or more of the command keys.

  • Patent number: 6663827
    Abstract: Rotors for stepping motors used in analog timepieces are produced from a mixture of prealloyed rare earth magnetic particles and a thermoplastic binder. The mixture is either tape cast in a magnetic field following blanking of green rotors or injection molded in a magnetic field. Following extraction of the binder the green parts are sintered to net shape. Improved magnetic properties, smaller dimensions, better tolerances and 100% material utilization are claimed.

  • Publication number: 20030202646
    Abstract: A telephone network includes a service switching point, a service control point, and a service node. The service node determines whether a call to a telephone line is a voice call or a data call. Based on this determination, the telephone network may connect the call to the telephone line, redirect the call to a service line, or terminate the call.

  • Publication number: 20030108178
    Abstract: A method and system for providing a caller-controlled demarcation service is described. An embodiment of the present invention is advantageously implemented as an advanced service in an intelligent telecommunications network. An embodiment of the present invention allows the user to specify an interval for a telephone communication. A telecommunication switch times the communication and when the interval expires, the switch either plays a tone to signal the expiration or disconnects the call. The switch may enforce the interval for calls originating or terminating at the subscriber's phone.
