Abstract: An exemplary system, method, and/or computer program product may programmatically by computer processor(s) combine various exemplary data elements to create an analyzed and calculated predictive device location, categorized by time of day for one or more devices. The exemplary method may take in as input(s) exemplary passive data that results from geolocated communication events such as wireless voice calls, data sessions and/or wireless communications tower or network hotspot information. The inputs, according to an embodiment may be combined and enriched with exemplary Latitude/Longitude reference data to provide a location history for an exemplary device. Based on analysis of frequented locations and time periods, the detailed location history information for a device may be probability weighted (e.g., scored) to predict where the device will be, at a given future time, based on the given device's detailed location history, and exemplary time of day, e.g., morning, afternoon, night, etc.

Abstract: Idle DSP channels of an IP phone can be used to respond to a request to transcode a codec of an incoming call in a distributed IP phone system but only if sufficient idle channels remain available to the phone to handle basic call functions and a possible non-basic call feature (such as conferencing) of the phone.

Abstract: A method of providing communication service includes receiving user identification information and first communication service criteria. The user identification information identifies a user, while the first communication service criteria describe a first communication service requested by the user. The method also includes generating a first communication service order based on the first communication service criteria. The first communication service order includes the user identification information and the communication service criteria. The method further includes selecting premise equipment for the user and generating an equipment order. The equipment order includes the user identification information and identifies the selected premise equipment. Additionally, the method includes transmitting the first communication service order to a first service provider and transmitting the equipment order to an equipment provider.

Abstract: A portable, self contained, deployable test pattern display, for use in optimising imaging quality having a portable protective display housing, a test pattern incorporating imaging information contained in and deployable from the housing, a retraction device connected to the test pattern for replacing it within the housing, so that the test pattern can be carried to a desired location, protected by the housing, and the test pattern can be deployed from the housing when required, and can then be replaced within the housing.

Abstract: Various aspects of an interactive multimedia system and associated methods. In general, the multimedia system employs central and peripheral hubs that function to provide services to a plurality of clients of a call manager server, or manager subsystem. The hubs and subsystem cooperate to serve requests originating in the plurality of clients. The client-server-client architecture allows for distributed processing and resource management. Redundant connections between the various network subsystems and hubs provide survivability. Each subsystem or hub is provided with the ability to initialize or recover from systemic errors, thereby distributing initialization and recovery. Certain of the distributed resources are capable of being managed from other subsystems, thereby allowing sharing of the resources. An open numbering plan allows efficient call treatment of dialed numbers. Call processing is sharable between multiple manager subsystems.

Abstract: A method of suppressing or curbing appetite and treating or preventing obesity comprising administering to a human or other mammal in need of such treatment an effective amount of plant material derived or derivable from plants of the genera Stapelia and Orbea.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improvement in a portable test pattern illuminator for illuminating a reference image so that the color and tonal range of a camera focussed on the reference image can be balanced to enable the camera to produce a faithful reproduction of objects in a light source having similar characteristics of the general type having a screen with an opening; means for supporting a reference image object in said opening; and a light diffuser panel for transmitting light from a source to the reference object. The improvement consists wherein the reference object is supported by the means for supporting the reference object in parallel relation to the surface of the light diffuser panel.
