  • Patent number: 8279254
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method and a system are provided to receive a first video signal at a first client and to receive a second video signal at a second client. The first video signal comprises an image of a first person and the second video signal comprises an image of a second person. The received first video signal and an image of a conference room are combined at the first client to create a first modified video signal comprising the image of the first person in the conference room. The received second video signal and the image of the conference room are combined at the second client to create a second modified video signal comprising the image of the second person in the conference room.

  • Publication number: 20070136245
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to facilitate retrieval of context relevant information. According to some embodiments, an event associated with a computer system is captured. In response to the captured event, a subset of data objects are selected that may be related to the event. A list associated with the subset of data objects may then be created, wherein the list is at least partially ordered based on a degree of relevance between a data object in the list and the event. Information associated with the created list may then be provided.

  • Publication number: 20060206030
    Abstract: A measurement device for generating an arterial volume-indicative signal includes an exciter and a detector. The exciter is adapted to receive an oscillating signal and generate a pressure wave based at least in part on the oscillating signal on the artery at a measurement site on a patient. The pressure wave includes a frequency. The detector is placed sufficiently near the measurement site to detect a volumetric signal indicative of arterial volume of the patient.

  • Publication number: 20050192500
    Abstract: A monitor for determining a patient's physiological parameter includes a calibration device that provides a calibration signal indicative of an accurate measurement of the patient's physiological parameter. The monitor also includes a processor, which receives a noninvasive signal from a noninvasive sensor positioned over a blood vessel. The processor uses the calibration signal to calibrate a relationship between the noninvasive signal and a property of the physiological parameter. The processor also determines when to recalibrate the relationship.

  • Publication number: 20050117733
    Abstract: A system and method is described for managing communications, including telephone calls, to a user. In one embodiment, the user configures a telephone services provider system (TSPS) to handle incoming calls based upon information stored in a contact management software database. The user may provide a handling code in part of an unused data field in the standard contact management software database. The TSPS interfaces with the contact management software using open application programming interfaces (APIs). The user views and manages communications, including incoming calls, caller contact information, and call histories from a user interface. In one embodiment, the user interface is the standard contact management software interface.
