A method of provisioning a gateway (80) is provided in a telecommunications network including a circuit-switched network (90) and a packet-switched network (70). The gateway (80) bridges calls between the circuit-switched network (90) and the packet-switched network (70). The method includes: receiving a registration message from consumer premises equipment (CPE) (60), the message including an address for the CPE (60) on the packet-switched network (70); determining a directory number (DN) for the CPE (60); placing a probe call to the determined DN over the circuit-switched network (90); receiving a call from the circuit-switched network (90), the call being terminated at a call reference value (CRV); recognizing the received call received from the circuit-switched network (90) as the probe call; capturing the CRV at which the probe call is terminated; and, associating the captured CRV with the address for the CPE (60).

Apparatus and method for plasma deposition of thin film photovoltaic materials at microwave frequencies. The apparatus inhibits deposition on windows or other microwave transmission elements that couple microwave energy to deposition species. The apparatus includes a microwave applicator with conduits passing therethrough that carry deposition species. The applicator transfers microwave energy to the deposition species to transform them to a reactive state conducive to formation of a thin film material. The conduits physically isolate deposition species that would react to form a thin film material at the point of microwave power transfer. The deposition species are separately energized and swept away from the point of power transfer to prevent thin film deposition. The invention allows for the ultrafast formation of silicon-containing amorphous semiconductors that exhibit high mobility, low porosity, little or no Staebler-Wronski degradation, and low defect concentration.

An optical data storage and retrieval system that includes a phase change storage medium and dual energy sources. The phase change material may store information by undergoing a transformation from one structural state to another structural state through application of energy. The system is equipped with two energy sources, neither of which alone provides sufficient energy to effect the transformation. The combination of both energy sources, however, provides sufficient energy to induce the transformation needed to record information. The energy from either source may be optical, thermal, electromagnetic, mechanical or magnetic energy.

摘要:
An apparatus for forming microstructures in the surface of polymeric web materials for use as optical memory substrates. The microstructures may be formed by laminating a hot stamper to a web of material with a selective time/temperature profile. The stamper may be heated to melt flow the surface of the web and stabilize before separation. The stamper may be carried by a support that is independent of the press. The web of polymeric material may be provided with a flow enhancer to improve image formation. Also described herein are methods and apparatus for making optical memory modules, such as disks, which include novel stampers, coating applicators, and finishing systems.
