International Classification:

H04B 7212

US Classification:

370442, 455412, 455413, 370259

Abstract:

A voice messaging system is implemented using a PCMCIA card or other type of card, and a host call processing device such as a PBX switch. The card includes a processor operative to implement various voice messaging system functions, and a memory for storing voice data used in the voice messaging system. The host call processing device has a socket adapted to receive the card. The card receives voice data from the host call processing device for storage in the memory, and delivers voice data retrieved from the memory to the host call processing device. The voice data is communicated between the card and the host over a custom serial bus which includes a time-division multiplexed voice data line divided into a plurality of time slots, each of the time slots providing a distinct voice data channel at a designated bit rate. The serial bus is configured to include a multiplexer which allows the data to be transferred over address lines of a standard PCMCIA interface between the card and the host call processing device. The card-based voice messaging system also provides features such as dynamic memory allocation, which allows a user to select the number of voice mail boxes supported by the system and the amount of memory allocated to each of the mail boxes, and language selection, which allows a user to select one of a set of languages that are supported by the card-based voice messaging system, with the memory used for unselected languages automatically re-allocated for use as voice mail box storage.

International Classification:

H01L 21336

US Classification:

438268

Abstract:

A process for fabricating a vertical MOSFET device for use in integrated circuits is disclosed. In the process, at least three layers of material are formed sequentially on a semiconductor substrate. The three layers are arranged such that the second layer is interposed between the first and third layers. The second layer is sacrificial, that is, the layer is completely removed during subsequent processing. The thickness of the second layer defines the physical gate length of the vertical MOSFET. In the process the first and third layers have etch rates that are significantly lower than the etch rate of the second layer in an etchant selected to remove the second layer. The top layer, which is either the third or subsequent layer, is a stop layer for a subsequently performed mechanical polishing step that is used to remove materials formed over the at least three layers. After the at least three layers of material are formed on the substrate, a window or trench is formed in the layers. The window terminates at the surface of the silicon substrate in which one of either a source or drain region is formed in the silicon substrate.

Gary N. Weber - Fair Haven NJ

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies, Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04M 300

US Classification:

379188

Abstract:

A selective ring response device for a telecommunication line comprises: a ring tone detector circuit for detecting a special ring tone different from a standard ring tone, the ring tone detector circuit coupled to the communication line; an interface circuit capable of placing the communication line in an off-hook status and capable of selectively applying a switch hook flash signal to the communication line, the interface circuit coupled to the communication line; and a control circuit coupled to the ring tone detector circuit and the interface circuit, wherein the interface circuit places the communication line in the off-hook status, and at the user's request applies the flash hook signal to the communication line in response to the ring tone detector circuit detecting the special ring tone.

International Classification:

H04M 1506

US Classification:

379142

Abstract:

A telephone system with a caller ID logging feature includes a plurality of telephone stations which share a plurality of telephone lines connected to the telephone system. Each one of the plural telephone lines is associated with one or more of the telephone stations. A control processor (CPU) monitors the incoming calls on the telephone lines connected to the telephone system, and also receives caller ID information from the Central Office of the telephone service provider. For unanswered incoming calls and answered calls which are to be stored, the CPU stores the associated caller ID information in a memory as a caller ID record including data indicating the telephone lines on which the incoming call was received. The stored caller ID records for each telephone line are accessible from telephone stations that are associated with that telephone line. Therefore, only one record is required which all users may access, thereby increasing the efficiency of the memory over prior art systems.

International Classification:

G06K 900
H01G 700

US Classification:

382124

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention include a sensor such as a capacitive sensor with improved scratch resistance. The sensor has a substrate and a layer of sensing elements formed thereon that are formed from materials having a greater mechanical firmness than conventional aluminum or other soft metal materials. Sensor interconnects also are made of such materials. The increased mechanical firmness of the sensing elements and interconnects improves the scratch and mechanical resistance thereof by reducing scratches, mechanical stress and cracks by reducing the deformation and consequently the bridge and/or gap effects of the sensing element material. Such effects plague conventional electronic devices, integrated circuits and sensors. Alternatively, the inventive sensor includes, e. g. , a dielectric region operably coupled to the sensing elements and interconnects, thus forming a capacitive sensor or other electronic devices.

Abstract:

An improved, scattering-type mask for use in a charged-particle beam lithography process comprises the mask having a membrane portion and a scattering portion, the membrane portion being fabricated with a conductive material or a plurality of materials in which one of them is conductive. The conductive nature of the membrane portion mitigates the accumulation of charge in the mask, thereby enhancing the definition of the charged-particle pattern transferred from the mask onto the wafer under fabrication and reducing the distortion obtained with the system.

US Classification:

379100

Abstract:

A facsmile machine determines the status of a received or a transmitted facsimile message and, in response thereto, dials a specified telephone number and outputs a status message to notify a user of the status of the received or transmitted facsimile message. Another feature outputs a status message to indicate a predetermined condition at the facsimile machine. The status message may include an audio message to a data message. Another feature uses information detected in the control portion of the facsimile message to identify which of a plurality of predefined facsimile machine users is to be notified of the receipt of the facsimile message. In one embodiment, the detected information includes the identity of the location that transmitted the facsimile message.

Abstract:

A method for making gate dielectrics for MOS devices includes first forming a silicon oxynitride layer, and then forming a silicon dioxide layer that underlies the oxynitride layer. The oxynitride layer functions as a membrane for controlled diffusion of oxygen to the oxidation region of the silicon substrate.
