  1. I figured out why it seems impossible to send a fax through a computer, it's because of these dick heads which is less of a conspiracy than global telecom giants but still pretty annoying. It's okay guys the patent will only expire in another 100 years and Dialogic already has AI PBX products for sale on its website lmao

    Brooktrout Technology, Inc., later Brooktrout, Inc., was an American telecommunications company based in Boston, Massachusetts, and active from 1984 to 2005. The company was initially focused on the development of hardware and software to allow personal computers to act as fax machines, similar to GammaLink's GammaFax. The company later developed fax server hardware for local area networks before ultimately pursuing Voice over IP and videoconferencing products. In 2005, the company was acquired by EAS Group, who merged Brooktrout with another company of theirs to form Cantata Technology. Cantata was in turn acquired by Dialogic Group in 2007.

    Virtual telephone
    Apr 9, 1998 - Dialogic Corporation

    A telephone communication system utilizing a virtual phone wherein a telephone switch or similar digital switching device, a digital telephone and an external device such as a personal computer (PC) or other processor are generically interfaced. The virtual phone generic interface is configurable and comprises a set of virtual phone data structures, internal and external virtual phone application program interfaces, and an external transfer protocol. Software designated an abstraction layer provides communication between the internal virtual phone application program interface, the telephone switch and the telephone set. The generic interface converts proprietary telephone switch or external application protocols into a common format and functions as a protocol interpreter between proprietary switching system protocols and protocols of various applications.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

    Telephone Communication System

    A telephone communication system utilizing the virtual phone of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 wherein a PBX or similar digital switching device 12, a digital telephone 14 and an external device such as a personal computer (PC) or other processor 16 are interfaced by the arrangement 18 of the present invention. The virtual phone generic interface 18 of the present invention comprises a set 20 of virtual phone data structures, internal and external virtual phone application program interfaces 22 and 24, respectively, and a virtual phone host interface 26. Software designated hardware abstraction layer 28 provides communication between the internal virtual phone application program interface 22, PBX 12 and the telephone set 14.

    Switch 12 can be a PBX, KSU, service provided by a central office (such as Centrex or ISDN) and does not even have to be digital. Digital telephone 14 is representative of other communication devices like phones using emerging network interface technologies like internet protocol (IP), isoethernet, various forms of wireless, ATM, etc. Various types of additional telephones (ex. switch dependent phones, analog phones, cordless phones, conference phones), modems, fax machines or computers can be connected to the primary communications device 14.
  2. This is how analog wireless transfer of humans will first be accomplished.

  4. Lunik 3, also known as E-2A No.1 in Russian (Š›ŃƒŠ½Š° 3), was launched in 1959 as part of the Soviet Luna program. It marked the first successful mission to capture images of the far side of the Moon, making it the third Soviet spacecraft to approach the lunar vicinity. The unprecedented photographs of the far side of the Moon generated global excitement and fascination upon their publication worldwide.
    Lunik 3 reestablished communication with Soviet operators on the 8th of October on its way back toward Earth. The operator on Earth directed Lunik 3 to send its first image. The probeā€™s internal mechanisms oriented the first frame of film in front of a bright bulb inside, projecting a small portion of the image onto a photomultiplier, a light-sensitive vacuum tube. Lunik 3 then transmitted the lightness and darkness information line-by-line via frequency-modulated analog signalā ā€”in essence, a fax sent over radio. This enabled Soviet scientists to retrieve one photographic frame every 30 minutes or so. Due to the distance and weak signal, the first images received contained nothing but static. In subsequent attempts in the following few days, an indistinct, blotchy white disc began to resolve on the thermal paper printouts at Soviet listening stations.

    On the 18th of Octoberā ā€”eleven days after the photos were takenā ā€”the noisy image returned from Lunik 3 finally revealed some details and contours of the far side of the moon. Operators instructed Lunik 3 to shuffle through the developed images and send each one. The probe successfully scanned and faxed either 12 or 17 (reports vary) wide angle and close-up photos before Lunik 3 stopped responding on the 22nd of October.

    These first images, though grainy, revealed some surprises. It had been generally assumed that the far side of the moon would be quite similar to the near sideā ā€”with relatively bright highlands mixed with the darker regions known as ā€œmariaā€ or ā€œseas,ā€ so named by early astronomers who presumed that they were actual seas. Later astronomers realized that the maria are plains of basalt rock caused by ancient lava flows. Contrary to expectations, the Lunik 3 images revealed that very little of the far side of the moon is covered in the darker mariaā ā€”just one percent compared to the near sideā€™s 31 percentā ā€”meaning that the phrase ā€œthe dark side of the moonā€ was completely at odds with reality. It didnā€™t even look like the same moon. The photos also showed that the far side has a much greater number of impact craters, mostly because there were so few maria to erase older impact craters.
