  • Patent number: 9288327
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for routing an incoming call includes the apparatus configured to perform a routing decision resulting in the incoming call being routed to the voicemail of a called user. The apparatus further creates a transcription of a voicemail message being recorded on the voicemail of the called user. This is done by applying a speech analysis process to the voicemail message as the voicemail message is being recorded. Information about a context of the incoming call is determined from the transcription and a second routing decision is performed based on the information.

  • Publication number: 20160049206
    Abstract: A high voltage step regulator, such as would be used to provide a regulated low voltage (on the order of a few volts) from a high voltage external supply (e.g. 12V), is presented. To protect the output transistor, through which the output is provided from the input, from breakdown, a depletion type device is connected between the supply and the output transistor. The control gate of the depletion device is then connected to the output level of the regulator. This reduces the voltage drop across the output transistor, helping to avoid violating design rules (EDR) on how great a voltage differential can be placed across the output transistor. Examples of applications for such a circuit are for various operating voltages on a non-volatile memory chip operating with a high voltage power supply.

  • Publication number: 20160027961
    Abstract: Solid state sources offers potential advantages including high brightness, electricity savings, long lifetime, and higher color rendering capability, when compared to incandescent and fluorescent light sources. To date however, many of these advantages, however, have not been borne out in providing white LED lamps for general lighting applications. The inventors have established that surface recombination through non-radiative processes results in highly inefficient electrical injection. Exploiting in-situ grown shells in combination with dot-in-a-wire LED structures to overcome this limitation through the effective lateral confinement offered by the shell the inventors have demonstrated core-shell dot-in-a-wire LEDs, with significantly improved electrical injection efficiency and output power, providing phosphor-free InGaN/GaN nanowire white LEDs operating with milliwatt output power and color rendering indices of 95-98.
