A system and method for providing operator and customer services for automated telecommunications services on an intelligent overlay network (104) is disclosed. Operator and customer services are provided by an intelligent network (102). The intelligent network (102) comprises an automated call distributor (116); an application processor (118); an advanced intelligent network gateway (AIN Gateway) (120); a validation gateway (122); and enhanced operator consoles (126). The AIN Gateway provides the intelligent network with an interface to the intelligent overlay network. This allows components within the intelligent network to communicate with components in the intelligent overlay network, and vice-versa. The validation gateway provides the intelligent network with an interface to credit card validation systems (114), and is used to apply charges to customer credit cards. Enhanced operator consoles provide for efficient and seamless integration of operator and customer services to automated services running on the intelligent overlay network. Such enhanced operator consoles are provided in the form of customized application programs that are executed by the operator consoles based on the context of calls that are transferred from the intelligent overlay network.

The energy content of supercapacitor is determined by its capacitance value and working voltage. To attain a high capacitance and a high voltage, several pieces of electrodes and separators are spirally wound with edge sealing to form a bipolar supercapacitor in cylindrical, oval or square configuration. While the winding operation effectively provides a large surface area for high capacitance, the bipolar packaging instantly imparts a unitary roll a minimum working voltage of 5V on using an organic electrolyte. The bipolar roll is a powerful building block for facilitating the assembly of supercapacitor modules. Using containers with multiple compartments, as many bipolar rolls can be connected in series, in parallel or in a combination of the two connections to fabricate integrated supercapacitors with high energy density as required by applications.

A physical exercise assisting device includes a physical activity amount recorder recording a performed physical activity amount such that a physical exercise amount and a lifestyle activity amount can be recognized for a physical activity that has an intensity greater than or equal to a reference intensity; goal storage unit storing goals for the physical activity amount and the physical exercise amount to be performed in a predetermined unit period; and a display displaying goal achievement of the physical activity amount and the physical exercise amount based on the physical activity amount and the physical exercise amount recorded by the physical activity amount recorder and the goals stored in the goal storage unit.

A steering tool for use in drilling a borehole, including a tubular housing, a tool actuating device movably supported within the housing, a plurality of hydraulically actuated steering devices circumferentially spaced about the housing, and a hydraulic control system interposed between the tool actuating device and the steering devices for converting an actuating movement of the tool actuating device to independent actuation of the steering devices.

The invention relates to an apparatus and method to obtain a bitumen or heavy oil sample from an oil reservoir sample, such as a core sample, to enable measurement of physical properties such as viscosity, API gravity, or chemical properties such as sulphur content of the obtained bitumen or heavy oil sample. The analyses performed on the samples obtained in accordance with the invention are effective in assisting oil field operators in making timely drilling and production decisions at the oil reservoir or for routine laboratory extraction of oils and bitumens. The invention also permits the collection of samples from simulated thermal recovery operations and also allows the collection of bitumens and oils for online analysis of live oil physical properties.

An apparatus and a method for assisting the marketing in which a service provider acts as proxy to send messages to healthcare people, as customers, who have met preset conditions, out of the totality of customers, and in which the healthcare people, who have received the messages, approve an MR of a particular pharmaceutical manufacturing company, so that the number of healthcare individuals, as customers, may be increased without the MR of the particular pharmaceutical manufacturing company visiting the premises of the healthcare people, and so that messages may be exchanged between the MR and the healthcare people. An MR of the main office of a pharmaceutical manufacturing company, supervising MRs in charge, is able to send messages to the healthcare individuals, as customers, in the name of the MR of the main office or the MR in charge, depending on the message sorts. Each participating company is able to increase the number of customers efficiently.

A system 1, a corresponding method and computer program for assisting exercising of a subject 7 is provided. The system comprises: an exercise state providing unit 10 for providing an exercise state of the subject 7 for or during an exercise session, a fatigue level determination unit 20 for determining a fatigue level of the subject 7 based on the exercise state of the subject 7, a fatigue level threshold determination unit 30 for determining a fatigue level threshold for the subject 7 for the exercise session, and an evaluation unit 40 for evaluating the fatigue level in comparison to the fatigue level threshold. It provides a more versatile system 1 for assisting exercising of a subject 7 and further provides an improved exercising assistance for the subject 7.

A detector in MCU generates audio data by cutting out a section of the sounds collected by a microphone. A communicator transmits the generated audio data to a back end server. The back end server receives the audio data from a wearable camera. CPU collates the received audio data with audio data registered in an audio database. The communicator notifies the wearable camera of automatic start of the recording in a case where the received audio data and the registered audio data are matched with each other, as a result of collation. In a case of being notified of the instruction to start the recording from the server, the wearable camera starts the recording of a video captured by a capture.

A pedaling correction device for a bicycle capable of objectively detecting the state of pedaling and assisting the detection so that the training of pedaling technique can be performed according to an accurate theory. The cranks having pedals mounted at the tips thereof are installed on the center axis of the device so that a crank gear can be rotated according to the rotation of the cranks. The state of the pedaling of a user is monitored and the shape of the crank gear is deformed so that when the cranks reach positions where the user must increase forces applied to the pedals, the vertical diameter of the crank gear can be increased. Also, when the cranks reach positions where the user must release forces applied to the pedals, the vertical diameter of the crank gear can be reduced, whereby the correction of pedaling can be assisted by using such a crank gear.

The present invention relates to a system for assisting a person in walking, comprising a measurement unit for measuring physiological data including vital sign data and movement data of the person; an activity ability determination unit which is configured to determine a frailty state of the person based on the vital sign data, and to determine walking characteristics of the person based on the movement data; an activity program unit which is configured to select and continuously update a walking program based on the determined frailty state of the person and the determined walking characteristics of the person.

A 3D video system transfers video data from a video source device (40) to a destination device (50). The destination device has a destination depth processor (52) for providing destination depth data. The source device provides depth filtering data including filter location data, the depth filtering data representing a processing condition for processing the destination depth data in a filter area of the video indicated by the filter location data. The destination depth processor (52) is arranged for processing, in dependence on the depth filtering data, the destination depth data in an area of the video indicated by the filter location data. The depth filtering data enables the rendering process to improve the quality of the depth data.
