Appl. No.:

09/881933

Inventors:

Siew Siong Teo - Sunnyvale CA
Michael Eugene Broach - San Mateo CA
Richard Frank - Mountain View CA

Assignee:

National Semiconductor Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

H02H 324

US Classification:

361 92, 361 18

Abstract:

An integrated circuit system and method provides a reliable low voltage reference including undervoltage lockout capabilities that prevent a premature or false response. A physical constant trigger circuit initiates a response based upon a physical constant (e. g. a stable point associated with a voltage summation in a transistor circuit with components configured to produce equal and opposite temperature coefficients). A response includes changing polarities of the transistor circuit at a predetermined inflection point. A comparator compares signals from the physical constant trigger circuit and determines when a change occurs in the response. A voltage divider provides a varying voltage to the physical constant trigger and when the voltage level corresponds to the physical constant it is utilized as the reference voltage. An input signal port conveys an input signal to the voltage divider and output port conveys an indication of the response (e. g. , a desired reference voltage is available).

International Classification:

H02H 305

US Classification:

714 20, 714 6, 714 19, 707202, 707203, 707204

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a method and mechanism for accessing recovery log information in a database system. The data stored in the recovery log is presented as a relational database âview,â which can be queried and accessed using relational database statements even though the underlying recovery log data may be stored in a non-relational format. According to an aspect of the invention, the recovery log data is thus encapsulated by the view presented to users of that data.

Appl. No.:

09/330280

Inventors:

Dennis L. Kucmerowski - Delray Beach FL
David A. Vander Meiden - Boca Raton FL
Richard Frank - Coral Springs FL

Assignee:

Siemens Information and Communication Networks, Inc. - Boca Raton FL

International Classification:

H04M 342

US Classification:

37921501, 37926603

Abstract:

A telecommunications server ( ) includes a timed recall request unit ( ) coupled to a timer ( ). The timed recall request unit ( ) interfaces to the call park service ( ) and/or the call hold service ( ). When a request for a call park or call hold is made, the user is given the option of electing timed recall or no recall. If a timed recall is desired, the timed recall request unit ( ) is accessed to permit the user to either accept a default length of time or to input a desired length of time. If the user manually retrieves the held or parked call prior to expiration of the timer, the timer ( ) is reset.

International Classification:

H04M 1104

US Classification:

379 45, 379 49, 379157

Abstract:

Methods for accurate transmission of ELIN/callback number from an emergency caller calling from behind a PBX/MLTS include assigning a port equipment number to each device/trunk of the PBX/MLTS and associating ports/devices with ELINs and callback numbers. The apparatus of the invention detects an emergency number, assigns the call priority, and uses the port/device number to determine the ELIN/callback number and properly transmit the ELIN/callback number.

Appl. No.:

09/568785

Inventors:

Richard Frank - Coral Springs FL

Assignee:

Siemens Information and Communication Networks, Inc. - Boca Raton FL

International Classification:

H04M 342

US Classification:

37921601, 455445

Abstract:

A telecommunications system provides âfeature forwardingâ between a fixed telephone unit (such as a desktop wired telephone) and a portable telephone unit (such as a cellular telephone) that are assigned to the same prime telephone number. Thus, only one of the two phones in the telephone pair is accessible (e. g. , is forwarded ring signals) at any one time. In one embodiment, the system monitors changes in state regarding whether or not the wireless telephone is in a power recharging state. When the wireless telephone is connected to a power recharger, the wired telephone is designated as the current exclusive telephone to which service features are to be applied. On the other hand, when the wireless telephone is removed from the power recharging state, the common user information necessary for seamlessly implementing common features is reallocated to providing service to the wireless telephone. The common features may include a last number redial feature, a saved number redial feature, and/or features related to accessing voice mail messages.

US Classification:

711156, 711162, 711165

Abstract:

An electronic and computerized system that coalesces write operations using a buffer cache which stores data waiting to be written back to a disk of the electronic and computerized system is described. Dirty data blocks with consecutive data block addresses in the buffer cache are coalesced and written to the disk together. The disk head movements for performing the disk IOs are significantly reduced, thereby allowing the electronic and computerized system to maintain a high IO throughput and high peak performance with fewer disks.
