A rotating machine valve health monitor. Aspects of the valve monitor include instrumenting each valve of a reciprocating compressor, or other rotating machine, with a sensor capable of detecting at least vibration and instrumenting the crank shaft with a sensor capable of detecting at least rotation. A controller directly monitors the operation and condition of each valve to precisely identify any individual valve exhibiting leakage issues rather than only identifying the region of the leakage. The valve monitor uses a relatively high frequency stress wave analysis technique to provide a good signal-to-noise ratio to identify impact events indicative of leakage. The valve monitor uses circular waveforms of vibration data for individual valves to identify leakage by pattern recognition or visual identification. The valve monitor provides ongoing data collection to give warning of predicted valve failure and scheduling of preventative maintenance for failing valves.

Enhanced message notification is provided by an enhanced notification function element and a subscriber preference profile database. The enhanced notification function element queries the subscriber preference profile database to obtain subscriber communication terminal capabilities information, which it uses to select a message notification technology. The enhanced notification function element may then format an enhanced notification that is delivered to a communication terminal through a delivery system architecture appropriate for the selected message notification technology. The enhanced notification may contain: a message type indicator; an identifier of the party leaving the message; a date and time that the message was deposited; multimedia objects; and other enhanced information. The enhanced notification function element may also query a terminal roaming status database in order to determine if the enhanced message should be sent when the terminal is roaming. The enhanced notification function element may also provide content adaptation for the enhanced notification.

A system, system, and program for automatically inferring and updating an availability status of a user are provided. At least one current activity of a user is detected, where the current activity includes at least one system level event within a computer environment accessible to the user. A current availability status for a particular communication request is inferred from the current activity of the user in view of multiple availability rules, where the multiple availability rules map current activity to multiple possible availability statuses. In addition, inference of the current availability status is determined based on the identity of the requester of communication with the user, where the multiple availability rules map the requester identity in combination with the current activity to multiple availability rules. Output of the current availability status is controlled, such that the requester of the particular communication request is notified of an availability of the user to respond to the particular communication request.

A dialogue analyzer configured to identify online communications relating to lewd, predatory, hostile, and / or otherwise inappropriate subject matter is disclosed. Identified communications include those occurring via social networks, instant messaging, online chat rooms, computer in-game chat, email and the like. The communications of a monitored computer user are scanned to identify those communications that match predetermined lexical rules. The rules comprise sets of word-concepts that may be associated based on spelling, sound, meaning, appearance or probability of appearance in a text string, etc. Various numbers and configurations of word concepts may be implemented in a rule in order to more accurately scan the online communication data for a potential match. When a match is found, a copy of the communication, along with contextual information, is presented to a parent or guardian user. This information is presented at a central website and via an email notification to the parent or guardian. Various embodiments are described.

A notification apparatus (201) for a cellular communication system (100) comprises a call detector (209) which detects a communication initialisation involving a first subscriber (101). A notification processor (211) determines if a communication notification requirement is stored for the first subscriber (101). If so, the notification processor (211) proceeds to determine a second subscriber (115) associated with the first subscriber (101) and the communication notification requirement. A notification message generator (215) then generates a notification message and transmits this to the second subscriber (115). The notification message comprises an indication of the communication initialisation and may specifically be a text message indicating the nature of the communication and the involved parties.
