摘要:
The invention concerns a method (200) and system (100) for managing meetings using group calling. The method can include the steps of detecting (212) one or more meeting participants for a meeting, comparing (214) the detected meeting participants with a listing of scheduled meeting participants and generating (216) a dynamic group calling list that at least includes those scheduled meeting participants who have not been detected. As an example, the dynamic group calling list can be generated on a mobile communications device (122) of one of the detected meeting participants. The method can also include the step of simultaneously contacting (218) from the mobile communications device the scheduled meeting participants on the dynamic group calling list who have not been detected.

A voltage clamp is provided. The voltage clamp comprises one or more diodes for clamping a voltage in a circuit, and at least one capacitor coupled in parallel across the one or more diodes for maintaining current to the one or more diodes at levels which do not cause the clamping voltage of the one or more diodes to exceed a peak tolerable voltage.

An electronic device (10 or 300) and method (400) can include a storage medium (14, 304, or 306) having at least a predetermined contact number (15) designated as an emergency contact number and a processor (302). The processor can be programmed to place the electronic device or a portion (14 or 18) of the electronic device in a locked mode and enable (408) electronic access to any predetermined contact number designated as an emergency contact number notwithstanding the locked mode. The electronic device can be for example a cellular phone, a smart phone, a cordless home phone, a personal digital assistant, a wireless messaging device, an MP3 player, a laptop computer, or a lockable solid state memory device. The electronic device can be a wireless communication device and the emergency contact number can be contained in an electronic phonebook (19) within the storage medium.
摘要:
A method, server, and wireless communication system for providing user status information representing status of use of a first wireless device to at least a second wireless device, the first device and second device being members of a group, is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, at a server (108) for a wireless communication system (102), user status information from a first wireless device (104). The user status information represents a status of use of the first wireless device (104) associated with a user thereof. A current user status database (126) at the server (108) is updated according to the received status information. The server (108) transmits updated current user status information that is destined for reception by the second wireless device (106), which is further destined for presentation to a user of the second wireless device (106).
摘要:
A method, server, and wireless communication system for directly providing user status information representing status of use of a wireless device to a user of another wireless device, each wireless device being members of a group, is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, at a first wireless device (104), user status information directly transmitted from a second wireless device (106). The user status information representing a status of use of the second wireless device (106) associated with a user thereof. The method also includes updating a current user status database (252) at the first wireless device (104) according to the received status information from the second wireless device (106). The first wireless device (104) and the second wireless device (106) being members of a device use status monitoring group in the wireless communication system (102). A user of the first wireless device (104) is provided the updated current user status information through a user interface (502).
摘要:
The invention concerns a communication device (100) and method (300) for identification of the importance of a communication. As an example, the method can include the steps of assigning (312) a level of importance to a communication on a communication device (100) and in response to assigning the level of importance, providing (320) a machine-based indication that corresponds to the level of importance that enables a potential interrupter of the communication to determine whether to interrupt the communication. As an example, the method can include the step of executing (324) visual or audible alerts at the communication device or at a remote unit (200) that is in communication with the communication device.
摘要:
A cooking vessel is disclosed having a main cooking surface. In one aspect, the cooking vessel has an exchangeable handle, one of the handles being elongate. In another aspect, a textured cooking surface is provided on an interior the cooking vessel to retain food on the textured portion at a level different from the main cooking surface.
摘要:
A differential mobility analyzer (DMA) for separating charged particles or ions suspended in a gas and a method of using the DMA for separating such particles. The invention includes various means for increasing the resolution of the DMA by stabilizing the laminar flow within the DMA and by allowing unusually large flow velocities.
摘要:
A stand-alone oven capable of being utilized in both the horizontal and vertical orientations/positions to, among other functions, provide for rotisserie cooking of foodstuffs. The oven includes a rotisserie attachment that is adjustable to rotate in the oven in the horizontal and vertical orientation. A control panel is coupled to the oven to control the operation of the oven and includes a screen that is rotatable to be viewable in the horizontal and vertical orientation of the oven.
摘要:
In the present technique for dispatch call setups, a determination (608) is made as to whether an unavailable mode to accept dispatch call requests has been enabled in response a dispatch call request identified by a dispatch caller identifier being received (604). If so, another determination (614) is made as to whether a custom greeting associated with the dispatch caller identifier is available, and when such a custom greeting is available, it is used to respond (616) to the dispatch call request.
