| 20080317005 | Computer Telephony System - A method and apparatus for securely registering an association between a computer terminal and a selected one of a plurality of communications terminals in a computer telephony system. An association is established according to a known technique between the identity of the selected communications terminal and the identity of the computer terminal to allow for control of the communications terminal by a user via the computer terminal. An abstract representation of the identity of the communications terminal is; generated and provided to a third party system accessible by the user. The user can then implement control of the selected communications terminal via the third party system whilst not prejudicing the security of the system. | 12-25-2008 |

| 20090067597 | COMPUTER TELEPHONY SYSTEM, METHOD AND SERVER - A controller in a computer telephony system records a mapping linking a key and the identifier of a communications terminal previously associated with a user. The key selected by the controller is a parameter associated with the user in a second system external to the computer telephony system. The controller operates to receive a message from the second system comprising a command issued by the user and the key. The controller reads the received key and uses it to retrieve the identifier and then forwards the command together with the identifier to a communications controller for controlling operation of the communications terminal. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090097621 | COMPUTER TELEPHONY SYSTEM, METHOD AND SERVER - A computer telephony system allows a user to control different communications terminals at different times via a second system, external to the computer telephony system. The computer telephony system comprises a plurality of communications terminals each of which has an identifier. The computer telephony system further comprises means for generating a key and for recording internally a mapping linking the key and the identifier of a first communications terminal and means for changing the mapping, on a request by the user, so as to link the key with a second communications terminal. In operation, the key is provided to a second system, external to the computer telephony system and accessible by the user According to one aspect, the computer telephony system further comprises means for issuing a computer telephony message comprising the identifier of the first communications terminal to a communications controller in response to receiving from the second system the key and a computer telephony command provided to the second system from the user. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20100121933 | COMPUTER TELEPHONY SYSTEM - The system comprises a client and a set of servers for processing calls in a communications system; the servers providing call status messages to the client; in which each call status message comprises an identifier associated with the call to which the message relates. The client is arranged to handle duplicate copies of call status messages as follows. The client receives a copy of each call status message from each of the servers and identifies duplicate copies of each message received by reading the identifier in the received messages. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20100121318 | APPARATUS FOR TREATING TISSUE WITH MICROWAVE RADIATION AND ANTENNA CALIBRATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A calibration method and apparatus for surgical antennas which are arranged to deliver microwave radiation (e.g. having a treatment frequency of 500 MHz to 100 GHz) into biological tissue is disclosed. An emitting region of the antenna is exposed to a plurality of calibration standards each having a different complex impedance at the treatment frequency. In one embodiment the calibration standards are created in a short-circuit-terminated waveguide cavity of variable length. In another embodiment, each calibration standard is a different mixture of two or more liquids. Measurement of the magnitude and phase of signals reflected from the emitting region when exposed to the calibration standard can permit calibration of the antenna, e.g. by generating a mapping function based on the measured values and known or reference values for the calibration standards. Also disclosed is tissue treatment apparatus having an ablation channel for conveying microwave radiation to a surgical antenna at a high power level and a separate measurement channel for conveying microwave radiation to a surgical antenna at a low power level, wherein the measurement channel bypasses noisy components on the ablation channel. A surgical antenna having an impedance transformer for matching an e.g. coaxial feed structure which terminates in one or more radiating elements with tissue to be treated is also disclosed. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100168730 | TISSUE CLASSIFYING APPARATUS - Tissue classifying apparatus in which forward microwave radiation (e.g. having a frequency 500 MHz to 60 GHz) is supplied from a source ( | 07-01-2010 |

| 20100100883 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SCHEDULING TASKS IN PROCESSING FRAMES - Methods and systems for implementing methods for allocating available service capacity to a plurality of tasks in a data processing system having a plurality of processing channels is provided, where each processing channel is utilized in accordance with a time division multiplex processing scheme. A method can include receiving in the data processing system the plurality of tasks to be allocated to the available service capacity and determining a task from among an unassigned set of the plurality of tasks having a requirement for available service capacity which is greatest. The method can also include identifying at least one of the plurality of processing channels that has an available service capacity greater than or equal to the requirement and selectively assigning the task to the processing channel having a remaining service capacity which least exceeds the requirement. | 04-22-2010 |
