Abstract: A method for managing communications between a service origination node (104) and a plurality of serving nodes (108, 202, 204) where the serving nodes (108, 202, 204) are simultaneously active for a particular trigger (116) to thereby generate a reply to the service origination node. The method includes the step of determining control options for each trigger indicative of service categories by capturing service interaction principles supplied by a serving node services expert acting as a mentor. The service interaction principles are based upon a requirement of executing service categories in each of the serving nodes for each trigger. The method also includes the step of controlling execution of each of the service nodes and the service categories for the particular trigger with reference to the control options to generate the reply.

Abstract: A video conferencing system (30) and method that uses a central multimedia bridge (32) to combine multimedia signals from a plurality of conference participants (34-37) into a single composite signal for each participant. The system gives each conference participant the ability to customize their individual display of other participants, including keying in and out selected portions of the display and overlapping displayed images, and the ability to identify individual images in a composed video stream by click and drag operations or the like. The system uses a chain of video composing modules that can be extended as necessary to combine video signal streams from any number of conference participants in real-time. Multimedia association software is provided for associating different media types to enhance display and manipulation capabilities for multimedia uses. The system also allows each user to dynamically change who can receive the information they provide to the conference.

Abstract: An opto-electronic integrated circuit including an active ridge waveguide (60), for example, a semiconductor laser diode, and a passive buried heterostructure semiconductor waveguide (64). The two types of waveguides are chosen for their respective tasks so as to minimize the lasing wavelength dependencies arising from fabricational variations and to simultaneously reduce the allowable bending radius, thus reducing the chip size. The two waveguides are coupled by a transition structure (62), including a laterally undefined slab waveguide. A fabricational method is described that self aligns the ridge and buried heterostructure waveguides so that the transition loss is negligible. The method can be integrated with fabrication of a window facet (118', 118'') between an end of the ridge waveguide and the chip edge, which prevents unintended back reflections from the chip edge.

Abstract: Disclosed is a telecommunication system (52-82) that is both highly cost effective for small scale applications (for example, those having less than 80 lines), yet field upgrade-expandable via a backplane bus (68) to applications having a significant number of additional lines (for example, 30,000 lines). An integrated voice/data telecommunication system is utilized that is flexible enough to handle low bandwidth (for example 64 kbps mu-law) speech as well as high bandwidth multimedia data switching. The system may be configured as a low cost, standalone PACS system for "village telephony" or "PACS-on-POTS" applications, as an alternative to requirements for PACS infrastructure when appropriate wireless network facilities are unavailable.

Abstract: A distributed service management system for providing communications services comprises a plurality of individual service management systems (210, 310, 410, 510) operated by a plurality of different service providers. Each service management system includes its own local database (214, 314, 414, 514) and an Interactive Distributed Transaction Monitor (IDTM) interface in a computer (212, 312, 412, 512) that allows locally running applications to access the local database as well as remote databases belonging to remotely located service management systems. The interfaces serve to integrate multiple individual service management systems into a single multidatabase transaction management system. The distributed service management system can be used to provide special personal communication services involving multiple service providers, such as call forwarding to a temporarily rented mobile telephone.

Abstract: A multicamera surveillance system (300) connects video surveillance cameras (104) to a video bridge (310). One or more users (108) in the same or different locations may obtain video from one or more video cameras from this bridge, without having a direct connection to the video cameras. The invention may use graphic combining techniques so that the video inputs may be superimposed on a graphic image, such as a map. The video surveillance cameras may be pannable electronic cameras which provide a user selectable panorama of the scene under surveillance. The inventive system provides a video surveillance system which is simple to understand and use. It also provides a centralized video bridge which may be used to provide a number of monitoring stations to independently view video inputs of interest. Thus, state and local police, EMS dispatch, fire stations, trucking companies, commuters, or any other interested party may be able to view locations of interest using relatively inexpensive equipment, such as a computer and joystick.

Abstract: Disclosed is a virtual display (300) which provides a wide field-of-view that is lightweight and may be as thin as ordinary eyeglasses. One version of the invention includes a display (302), such as an LCD, a microlens array (304), and an aperture array (306) disposed between the LCD and the microlens array. The virtual display provides a pin-point of light for each pixel (306) of a display (302). Each pin-point of light in collaboration with an associated microlens (308) generates a directed ray of light. The ensemble of these rays forms a coherent image on a viewer's retina. Using high "f" number microlenses permits a very short focal length between the pin-points and the microlenses and thus provides a very thin virtual display. The aperture array may be provided by a plate disposed between the display and the lens, or it may be apertures configured on the back side (away from the viewer) of the microlenses or on the front (towards the viewer) of the display. Each aperture in the array receives light from one pixel and directs a pin-point of that light to a microlens in the microlens array. Each microlens receives a single pin-point and directs the resulting ray so that a coherent image is formed on the viewer's retina.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种虚拟显示器（300），其提供轻量级的宽视场，并且可以像普通眼镜那样薄。 本发明的一个版本包括显示器（302），例如LCD，微透镜阵列（304）和布置在LCD和微透镜阵列之间的孔径阵列（306）。 虚拟显示器为显示器（302）的每个像素（306）提供针尖点。 与相关联的微透镜（308）协作的每个针点光产生定向光线。 这些射线的组合在观察者的视网膜上形成一个连贯的图像。 使用高“f”数的微透镜允许引脚点和微透镜之间的非常短的焦距，从而提供非常薄的虚拟显示。 孔径阵列可以由布置在显示器和透镜之间的板提供，或者可以是在显微镜的背面（远离观察者）或显示器的前部（朝向观察者）配置的孔。 阵列中的每个孔接收来自一个像素的光，并将该光的引脚指向微透镜阵列中的微透镜。 每个微透镜接收单个针点并引导所得到的光线，使得在观察者的视网膜上形成相干图像。
