The compounds or salts thereof are useful for treatment of respiratory disorders such as asthma. Compounds of the invention have a longer duration of action than the known compound trequinsin (9,10-dimethoxy-3 methyl-2-mesitylimino-2, 3,6,7-tetrahydro-4H-pyrimido[6,1-a]isoquinolin-4-one).
摘要:
A system (and methods) for transferring multimedia information from a source location to a destination location through one or more networks, which may be different. The system has a source output which provides a first stream of information in a first format. The system also has a destination input which receives a second stream of information in a second format. A proxy transcoder server (“PTS”) is coupled between the source output and the destination input. The PTS has a transcoding module transcoding data. The PTS also has a capability module identifying a first capability of the source output and a second capability of the destination input, and selecting a transcoding process based upon the first capability and the second capability.
摘要:
A method of reducing a call set-up time between a pair of H.324-like terminals coupled to one or more telecommunication networks includes providing a first capability identifier in at least one of a non-standard or generic field of a first TCS message, transmitting the first capability identifier from the first H.324-like terminal to the second H.324-like terminal, and receiving, at the first H.324-like terminal, a second capability identifier in at least one of a non-standard or generic field of a second TCS message transmitted from the second H.324-like terminal. The method also includes determining, at the first H.324-like terminal, a mode of operation by utilizing an inference algorithm based upon at least the first capability identifier and the second capability identifier. The method further includes transmitting media from the first H.324-like terminal to the second H.324-like terminal in accordance with the determined mode of operation.
摘要:
Methods of establishing multimedia telecommunication (a multimedia “call”) between equipment (“terminals”). More particularly, the invention provides methods for reducing the time required to establish calls between terminals that implement the ITU-T H.324 Recommendation and other Standards and Recommendations derived from or related to this such as the 3G-324M recommendation developed and adopted by the Third Generation Partnership Projects (3GPP and 3GPP2). More specifically, it relates to (i) a method and apparatus for concatenating the H.245 messages that are required to pass between the terminals at the start of the call to establish the capabilities of both terminals and agree on the type and format of media and data to be exchanged (ii) a method and apparatus for using non-standard H.245 messages or standard H.245 messages with non-standard fields to accelerate such establishment and (iii) a method and apparatus of informing each terminal of the capabilities of the other and proposing the type and format of media and data to be exchanged by means of any user-defined fields that are inserted in the call signaling protocol that is used for bearer establishment prior to the start of the H.324 stage of the call.
摘要:
In one aspect, the present invention permits users of trading algorithms to jointly achieve the objectives described above, namely: (a) permit access to trading algorithms of (arbitrary) complexity without requiring proprietary protocol extensions; (b) allow users to easily identify and store one or more sets of dynamic vs. static parameters (and related details, including user interface layout); and (c) allow any given pre-defined set of parameters to be easily invoked and used to submit orders. In another aspect, the invention comprises a computer system comprising: (a) an authoring tool operable to enable a user to design custom trading strategies and create interface definitions; and (b) a pre-processor operable to receive a custom strategy order message delivered via a standard protocol, load an definition for a corresponding custom strategy, enrich the order message based on the definition, and pass the enriched message to a trading strategy destination.
摘要:
A method of initiating a call between users with reduced call set-up times using one or more telecommunication networks. The method is provided between at least a pair of H.324-like terminals coupled to the one or more telecommunication networks. The method includes providing one or more preferences for a call associated with a first terminal and a second terminal. The one or more preferences are associated with an initial mode of operation for the call between the first terminal and the second terminal. The method also includes processing the one or more preferences as a Custom Message, embedding the Custom Message in a predetermined field of a call initiation message, and transferring the Custom Message from the first terminal to the second terminal through a telecommunication network using call signaling. The method further includes processing the Custom Message by the second terminal, transferring a Custom Response Message by the second terminal using a call signaling response message to indicate to the first terminal the initial mode of operation, and exchanging information between the first terminal and the second terminal after the initial mode of operation has been established.
