Filed:

Sep 11, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/151907

Inventors:

James A. Shelton - Holmdel NJ

Assignee:

NCR Corporation - Dayton OH

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

709227

Abstract:

A mechanism for recording browser activities performed at a first web browser and subsequently replaying the recorded browser activities at one or more web browsers. The browsing activities can be recorded together with time references corresponding to various browsing activities such as when a web page is retrieved, or the length of time a page is displayed. The browsing activities can be replayed in accordance with the recorded time references. If desired, the browsing activities that are being repeated can be synchronized among multiple browsers.

Assignee:

NCR Corporation - Dayton OH

International Classification:

G06F 300

US Classification:

345762, 345765, 345835, 345764

Abstract:

Described is a method of creating objects for collecting textual information from a CTI server and display the textual information in an application for controlling a telephony system and for allowing users to enter information associated with a call and having this information automatically associated with the call information stored in a CTI server. The objects are created by selecting reusable image symbols and embedding them into an application, without requiring an application developer to write any programming code. After being embedded into an application, these objects are able to correct textual information from the CTI server and display the textual information within the objects. These objects are also able to collect textual information entered by a user and pass this information to the CTI server.

US Classification:

709224

Abstract:

Described is a mechanism for dependably managing web synchronization and tracking operations among multiple consumer browsers. A session is created for each of one of the consumer browsers when an individual consumer downloads an initial web page from an HTTP server. A unique ID is assigned to that session. After the session has been created for an individual browser, the information about all activities from that consumer browser will be recorded into the session. Such a mechanism overcomes the difficulty to organize and manage the activities from the multiple consumer browsers that are stateless in nature. An administration browser can select any one of the sessions created, display the activities previously performed in that session, and conduct bi-direction synchronization with the consumer browser associated with the selected session.

US Classification:

345348

Abstract:

Described is a method of creating intelligent command objects for controlling a telephony system by selecting reusable image symbol to an application container, without requiring an application developer to write any programming code. After being embedded into CTI, these command objects are able to automatically monitor the operation status and enable and disable themselves according to the changes of the operation status of the telephony hardware system. To control the operation of the telephony system, a user simply activates (i. e. clicks) a respective command object when it is enabled.

International Classification:

G06F 1314

US Classification:

709248

Abstract:

Described is a mechanism for dependably synchronizing data element activities on web pages among a group of browsers. The web browsers retrieve web pages from an HTTP server. Each of the web pages contains at least one data element and embeds a Master Applet and at least one DTS Applet (DTS stands for data tracking and synchronization). In response the data element activities (such as entering data into a data field) performed at a browser, the DTS Applet passes the activities to the Master Applet, which in turn reports the activities (together with the URL of the web page on which the data element activities have occurred) to a tracking server. The tracking server sends the activity report (together with the URL of the web page on which the data element activities have occurred) to the Master Applets at all participant browsers. The participant Master Applets then instruct their respective DTS Applets to display the data element activities on the web page identified by the URL.

Assignee:

Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

G02B 5174

US Classification:

350 9612

Abstract:

An optical polarizer is described in which a propagation layer (14) is covered with a dielectric buffer layer (16) and a metal layer (18). The thickness of the buffer layer is chosen so as to increase the attenuation of TM modes of radiation in the waveguide relative to TE modes. In accordance with the invention, additional discrimination between TM and TE modes is achieved by segmenting the metal layer into a plurality of tandem sections (18. 1, 18. 2, 18. 3), thereby increasing the mode coupling loss for TM modes. A GaAs-AlGaAs rib waveguide polarizer is specifically described.

International Classification:

US Classification:

709248

Abstract:

Described is a mechanism for dependably synchronizing web pages among a group of browsers. Each of the web page embeds an applet. In response the activities (such as loading or unloading of a web page) performed at a browser, the applet reports activities (together with the URL of the web page) to a page synchronizing server, which in turn relays the activities (together with the URL) to all participant browsers. The participant browsers can load and unload the web page according to the report of the activities.
