A right-hand drive vehicle steering system (10) that may be factory built or converted from a left-hand drive steering system or vice versa. The method of conversion begins with the removal of the left-hand drive steering components. A left-hand drive designed steering gear is engaged to an adapter bracket (50). The adapter bracket allows the orientation of the left-hand drive designed steering gear to remain the same in a right-hand drive installation as when installed in the left-hand drive. As a result, the pitman arm (18) that directs the wheel direction of steering and is outboard of the steering gear for left-hand drive applications, is inboard of the steering gear for right-hand drive applications. The adapter bracket allows displacement of the steering column and associated steering equipment to further outboard in the right-hand drive system relative to the outboard position in left-hand drive applications. The adapter bracket allows pitman arm operation through an operating slot (51) in spite of the location of the pitman arm between the steering gear and the frame rail (103). The adapter bracket and steering gear are mounted to the frame rail. The pitman arm is pivotably connected to a drag link (19) that in turn is pivotably connected to a steering arm (20). The steering arm is secured to the spindle (14) of the right side wheel to allow control movement of the right side wheel. The steering gear is engaged for operation to a driver steering wheel (21) through and intermediate steering shaft (22).

A method and system for consolidated message notification in a voice command platform. The platform maintains, for each user, a summary of counts of messages waiting for the user at multiple message portals. The platform receives update messages from the message portals, indicating updates of the counts of messages waiting, and the platform revises its summary accordingly. During a voice command session with the user, such as at the initiation of the session, the platform then presents an indication of the summary of message counts to the user, such as by sending to the user a speech signal indicating the summary.

A method and system are provided for delivering calling party notifications. An artificial intelligence software application located on an Intelligence Rules Server is operable to infer why a first call to a mobile station is not connected and predict when a second call to a mobile station is likely to be connected. The application communicates the inference and the prediction to a voice messaging system. The voice messaging system delivers a message to a calling party based on the inference and/or the prediction.

A system and method where a Personal Address Book is created. The Personal Address Book has user information. A user sends a voice message requesting a connection. The system and method retrieves connection information from the Personal Address Book, said makes the connection based upon the information in the Personal Address Book. Entries in the Personal Address Book are marked as invited callers. The system and method virally extends the subscribing community by inviting these callers to become part of the subscribing community. The system and method also allows other services to be synchronized with the Personal Address Book.

A resistive network formed on a substrate includes film resistors formed of resistive elements, each element having a plurality of portions symmetrically disposed relative to two axes of symmetry. The biaxially symmetric arrangement provides uniform resistance characteristics for the various film resistors, thus improving stability of resistance ratios among resistors of the network. TCR tracking for the film resistors, i.e., the TCR of a ratio of the resistors, is similarly improved. Where the elements of different resistors of the network are interleaved, the temperature of the different resistors is also made more uniform.
摘要:
A resistor divider network is disclosed having two or more thin or thick film resistive elements deposited on a substrate. Each of the resistive elements is divided into a number of resistive subelements which are interleaved so as to improve the temperature coefficient of ratio (TCR tracking) and improve the thermal coupling which greatly improves the ratio constancy over a wide range of input voltage. There are an odd total number of resistive subelements, the subelements of each main element having equal resistances.

A device can connect to a packet data network through a first data channel, such as a connection with a wireless telecommunications network. The device can additionally connect to the packet data network through a second data channel. The device can simultaneously transmit data over the first and second data channels. Data channels can be added or removed in order to change the bandwidth available to the device.

A wireless instant messaging system is disclosed. A mobile station (MS), such as a cellular telephone for instance, may be registered with an instant messaging (IM) server as being available to receive instant messages via an IM proxy. A user at an IM client terminal may then send an instant message destined for a user at the MS. The IM server may direct the message to a service node (SN), which may convert the message into an industry standard SMS message and send the SMS message to the MS. At the MS, a user may read the SMS message and engage a callback feature, which will establish a dial-up voice connection between the MS and the SN. The user at the MS may then speak an instant message response, and the SN may record the response as a compressed audio file. The SN may then send the compressed audio file as an attachment to an instant message back to the user at the IM client terminal. The IM client terminal may then play the spoken response message. The invention facilitates robust instant messaging communication, while avoiding the need for a user at the mobile station to engage in cumbersome text entry via a numeric keypad.
