| 20090216540 | Open Architecture For A Voice User Interface - A system and method for processing voice requests from a user for accessing information on a computerized network and delivering information from a script server and an audio server in the network in audio format. A voice user interface subsystem includes: a dialog engine that is operable to interpret requests from users from the user input, communicate the requests to the script server and the audio server, and receive information from the script server and the audio server; a media telephony services (MTS) server, wherein the MTS server is operable to receive user input via a telephony system, and to transfer the user input to the dialog engine; and a broker coupled between the dialog engine and the MTS server. The broker establishes a session between the MTS server and the dialog engine and controls telephony functions with the telephony system. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20090120995 | FRICTION STIR WELD TOOLS, METHODS OF MANUFACTURING SUCH TOOLS, AND METHODS OF THIN SHEET BONDING USING SUCH TOOLS - Friction stir weld tools configured to bond or laminate thin sheets. Friction stir weld tools have a first shoulder, a pin extending from a friction surface of the first shoulder, and a second shoulder. In some embodiments, the second shoulder is secured at least partially around the first shoulder and includes an engagement surface longitudinally recessed with respect to the friction surface of the first shoulder. In additional embodiments, the second shoulder is proximate the first shoulder and rotationally fixed. In yet additional embodiments, the pin has a diameter that is greater than the height of the pin and the second shoulder is secured at least partially around the first shoulder. Methods include manufacturing such friction stir weld tools. Methods include friction stir welding using such tools. | 05-14-2009 |

| 20090104944 | Method and Apparatus for Managing Ring Tones in a Mobile Device - An improved method, apparatus, and computer instructions for a mobile device for managing ring tones. A radio frequency transmission is detected from another mobile device. In response to detecting the radio frequency transmission from the other mobile device, a ring tone used by the other mobile device is identified to form an identified ring tone. The current ring tone is selectively changed for the mobile device to an alternate ring tone, depending on the identified ring tone. | 04-23-2009 |

| 20090091774 | Setting A Partition Size For A Print Job - A method for print job partitioning in a printing environment having a plurality of RIP (raster image processing) engines includes setting a partition size for a selected print job as a function of one or more of a time sensitive nature of the selected print job and an activity duration measured for the printing environment. A different one of the plurality of RIP (raster image processing) engines is assigned to rasterize each job partition of the set size for the selected print job. The partitions of the selected print job rasterized by the plurality of RIP engines are aggregated into an output file for printing. | 04-09-2009 |
