摘要： A voice messaging system and method includes a voice recorder/playback device to store a plurality of voice messages associated with a respective plurality of incoming calls. A receiver receives call related information associated with each of the respective plurality of incoming calls. A controller is provided to organize the plurality of voice messages for playback by the voice recorder/playback device based on pre-stored groupings of expected call related information irrespective of an order in which voice messages are stored. In one aspect the pre-stored groupings relate to various priority levels for playback sequencing. In another aspect the pre-stored groupings relate to a specific voice mailbox or bin to receive the voice message. In yet another aspect, voice recognition techniques may be utilized to query the voice messaging system, either locally or remotely, for voice messages grouped in accordance with the principles of the present invention.

摘要： A radio communication system, such as a cellular telephone system, in which the cellular telephones have a ring silenced mode of operation. A user of the system can remotely cause the telephone to exit the ringing silenced mode in case the telephone is misplaced and needs to be located by causing the telephone to ring and then listening for the ringing. The feature is also useful for disabling ring silenced mode when there is an emergency need to contact the owner of the telephone.

摘要： Apparatus and processes to allow voice messages to be individually and/or separately secured by a caller for playback only by an intended person or persons. The voice messages are separately secured with security information contained in a header associated with each voice message. The caller may be authorized to secure a voice message either by inputting a pre-determined authorization security code using their keypad, or based on call related information received with respect to the incoming call. The user, upon attempt to access a separately secured voice message, is prompted for input of an appropriate authorized security code to allow the access to proceed. Without proper access, a user is allowed to access (e.g., playback, delete, etc.) only non-secured voice messages.

摘要： A lift-turn valve and actuator mechanism incorporating a valve plug and slip assembly that is movable with both axial and rotatable components of movement during opening and closing. Rotational movement is accomplished during lifting by cooperative relationship between opposed cam grooves defined in valve stem means and a pair of opposed rotatable cam follower elements that are supported by an actuator housing. The actuator housing is a fabricated structure incorporating threaded structure for receiving replaceable cam follower bearing mechanisms. The cam follower elements cooperate with the opposed cam grooves to provide efficient balanced force transfer through the valve actuator mechanism.

摘要： Apparatus and processes to provide notification to a remote user upon the occurrence of a qualifying event determined by a voice messaging system based on logged call related information, e.g., Caller ID information. A return call data directory table is maintained associating predetermined events based on logged call related information with a telephone number to be called in the event of the satisfaction of a designated event. Designated events may include a predetermined number of calls from a particular caller within a predetermined range of time or days, or a total number of calls from any caller within a predetermined range of time. An auto dialing calling module automatically dials a designated or default telephone number to notify the user of the satisfaction of the designated event. A notification message is played to the remote user, and the user is either informed of the details of the satisfied event and/or is allowed to playback voice messages or otherwise control the operation of the voice messaging system. The user may add, delete or modify any of the entries in the return call data directory table either local to the voice messaging system or from a remote location through an established telephone call.

摘要： A silence compression system that improves data compression in a digital speech storage device, such as a digital telephone answering machine, without undue clipping of voice signals. Instead of employing only real-time compression, the inventive silence system analyzes and compresses or re-compresses digital speech samples stored previously, when the voice messaging system is off-line or otherwise in a low priority state. A method of silence compression comprises receiving real-time speech samples, storing the same in memory, and analyzing the stored speech samples at a later time to determine thresholds for periods of silence. The periods of silence are then compressed, and the silence compressed voice message is restored in memory. In this fashion, the processor is not required to make a silence period determination on-the-fly simultaneous with encoding and compression of the real-time voice message, and thus is not subjected to heavy processor loads typically encountered in real time. This enables more efficient compression of speech samples, lighter duty processors, and improved voice quality upon reproduction by eliminating undesired clipping of the voice signal encountered in prior systems after periods of silence. The silence compressed speech samples are stored in a storage device for subsequent playback.

摘要翻译： 一种在数字语音存储设备（例如数字电话应答机）中改进数据压缩而不会不必要地削减语音信号的静音压缩系统。 代替仅实施实时压缩，本发明的静音系统分析和压缩或重新压缩先前存储的数字语音样本，当语音消息系统离线或处于低优先级状态时。 静音压缩的方法包括接收实时语音样本，将其存储在存储器中，并在稍后时间分析所存储的语音样本，以确定静默期间的阈值。 然后，静音期间被压缩，并且在存储器中恢复静音压缩声音消息。 以这种方式，处理器不需要与实时语音消息的编码和压缩同时进行静默时间确定，因此不会经受通常实时遇到的繁重的处理器负载。 这样就可以通过消除在静默期之后在现有系统中遇到的语音信号的不期望的削波，从而更有效地压缩语音样本，更轻的占空比处理器，并且在再现时提高语音质量。 静音压缩语音样本被存储在存储设备中用于随后的播放。
