Abstract: A system establishes a telephone call between a calling party and a called party. The system receives a telephone call connection request, including identification of the called party, from the calling party and determines, based on the identification information, if the called party is currently connected to a data network. If the called party is currently connected to the data network, the system establishes the telephone call between the calling party and an instant messaging client of the called party.

Abstract: An endoluminal device adapted to be deployed in a branched body lumen is provided by intraluminal delivery from an access location remote from the location at which the device is to be deployed, i.e. by introduction through one of the branches of the branched body lumen. The device comprises an unbranched portion, a first branch portion and second branch portion in communication with the unbranched portion, and a distortion element removeably connected to the first branch portion for manipulating the geometry of the second branch portion. The distortion element extends along the first branch portion and back to the access location.

Abstract: An audio-on-demand communication system provides real-time playback of audio data transferred via telephone lines or other communication links. One or more audio servers include memory banks which store compressed audio data. At the request of a user at a subscriber PC, an audio server transmits the compressed audio data over the communication link to the subscriber PC. The subscriber PC receives and decompresses the transmitted audio data in less than real-time using only the processing power of the CPU within the subscriber PC., According to one aspect of the present invention, high quality audio data compressed according to lossless compression techniques is transmitted together with normal quality audio data. According to another aspect of the present invention, metadata, or extra data, such as text, captions, still images, etc., is transmitted with audio data and is simultaneously displayed with corresponding audio data. The audio-on-demand system also provides a table of contents indicating significant divisions in the audio clip to be played and allows the user immediate access to audio data at the listed divisions. According to a further aspect of the present invention, servers and subscriber PCs are dynamically allocated based upon geographic location to provide the highest possible quality in the communication link.

Abstract: A method for suppressing noise encountered during testing of large semiconductor chips is disclosed herein. Output drivers on the semiconductor chip may occasionally produce errant signals during testing, and such errant signals may be coupled through ground or nearby pins which are asynchronous edge sensitive pins to produce false internal transitions. The false internal transitions can cause the chip to fail the test. The proposed method suppresses the noise by disabling the output drivers during portions of the test which may induce errant signals and enables the output drivers when such potentially errant signals have passed.

Abstract translation: 本文公开了一种用于抑制在测试大半导体芯片期间遇到的噪声的方法。 在测试期间，半导体芯片上的输出驱动器可能偶尔产生错误的信号，并且这种错误的信号可以通过地面或附近的引脚耦合，这些引脚是异步边沿敏感引脚以产生假的内部转换。 错误的内部转换可能导致芯片故障。 所提出的方法通过在测试的部分期间禁用输出驱动器来抑制噪声，这可能导致错误的信号，并且当这种潜在的错误信号已经过去时使能输出驱动器。
