Appl. No.:

9/065117

Inventors:

Patrick Michael O'Shaughnessey - New York NY
Robert Donald Monroe - Cary NC

Assignee:

Nortel Networks Limited - Montreal

International Classification:

H04M 342
H04M 1100
G06F 300
G06F 1300

US Classification:

379201

Abstract:

A graphical call status presentation system. A computer implemented method indicates the status of a communication session using graphical user interface elements. The graphical user interface elements are displayed on a toolbar which can be part of a desktop application or the computer operating system. A state persistence agent in conjunction with application-specific macros controls the graphical user interface elements. The system keeps a user informed of the status of various components of a communication session and also prevents the user from trying to activate functions which cannot be used.

Filed:

Jun 11, 1981

Appl. No.:

6/272552

Inventors:

Robert Monroe - New York NY

International Classification:

G03C 700
G03C 526

US Classification:

430 12

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a photographic print and process of making the same wherein the print presents highlights by a build-up of high reflective, e. g. specularly reflective, metal in the highlighted areas which would otherwise print as blank or very light-toned areas of exposed paper or film. The gradient areas are preferably defined by spaced, specularly reflective areas optionally interspersed with conventional deposit of particulate silver. The method of fabricating such article includes an initially conventional development step, followed by a second development step wherein the silver halide areas remaining after the first development step are converted into increments of specularly reflective silver. An etching step may be interposed between the conventional development step and the development step leading to the creation of specular areas.
