20090288506 | POWER ACTUATOR - A power actuator is provided for a door latch. A transfer lever within the housing is selectively coupled to a motor-driven worm gear via a lost motion connector. Engaging the motor moves the transfer lever between a locked and an unlocked position, actuating an output lever mounted to a spline on the transfer lever. The worm gear returns to a neutral position when the motor is disengaged, leaving the transfer lever in either the locked or unlocked positions. Manually moving the output lever causes the transfer lever to move between its locked and unlocked positions without back-driving the worm gear. A toggle mechanism prevents the transfer lever from accidentally moving or only moving partially between the locked and unlocked positions. | 11-26-2009 |

20090175430 | CALL HANDLING FOR INCOMING TELEPHONE CALLS - Provided is a method for handling telephone calls directed to a telephony connection associated with a plurality of telephone numbers, wherein incoming calls made to the plurality of telephone numbers are announced by different ring tones. The method comprises receiving over the telephony connection a signal carrying ring tone information indicative of an incoming call. The method further comprises processing the ring tone information to differentiate the ring tone currently conveyed in the telephony connection from other possible ring tones that the telephony connection can carry. The method still further comprises handling the incoming call on the basis of the differentiated ring tone. Also provided are a telephone system and a computer readable storage medium holding a program element. | 07-09-2009 |
20090190742 | CUSTOMER PREMISES CALL HANDLING - A computer readable storage medium holding a program element for execution by a processor for processing voice calls. The program element comprises an input interface to receive at a customer premises a signal carrying a call request indicative of an incoming voice call, wherein the call request includes a call destination identifier. Also present, a processing element at a customer premises coupled to the input interface. The processing element processes the call destination data to distinguish the call destination identifier from other call destination identifiers that the signal can carry. The processing element also processes the call request to select a handset to which the incoming call is to be linked on the basis of the call destination identifier and links the voice call to the handset. Also provided are a telephone system and method and a telephone system and method involving forwarding calls to voice mail services. | 07-30-2009 |
20100273457 | VISUALIZATION METHOD FOR MESSAGES STORED IN AN INBOX - A method for notifying a user of a computer having a display about incoming messages stored in an inbox. The method includes the steps of receiving attribute information describing attributes of a plurality of messages in the inbox and generating message visualization structures associated with the respective messages and determining at least one non-textual visual feature of each message visualization structure on the basis of an attribute of a respective message. The method also includes rendering on the display the visualization structures within a graphical environment in which the message visualization structures convey information about the messages and their respective attributes in a non-textual list manner. | 10-28-2010 |
