Patent number: 10778512Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provided for a system for provisioning network resources. The system includes a network provisioning abstraction layer having an application interface for receiving network provisioning requests from applications and determine provisioning instructions for fulfilling the requests. Each of the received provisioning instructions is queued in a priority queuing system according to a request priority. The provisioning instructions for the highest priority requests are removed from the front of the queue and sent to a resource interface that relays the requests to the appropriate network resources.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Adam Charles Uzelac, Darren Behmlander, Michael Dana Chan, Thomas Doyle, Gregory Pendergrast, Kenneth Zaleski, Richard Dean Terpstra, Richard D.

Patent number: 10764075Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for implementing providing a web conferencing service. In one example, the system and methods involve a real-time application programming interface (RTAPI) component in the telecommunications network. The RTAPI is configured, in one embodiment, to provide a platform through which one or more users of the telecommunications network interfaces with one or more conferencing components of the network. In one example, the RTAPI may be configured to coordinate a dial-out to a participant of a conference at a designated time such that the participant is entered into the conference automatically.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2014Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Adam Charles Uzelac, Joshua Scott Berlin, Michael Dana Chan, Darren James Behmlander, Gregory Thomas Ellison, Duane Green

Publication number: 20170304677Abstract: An exercise apparatus and method for lower back, abdominal, and leg conditioning. The apparatus is configurable between a pivoting condition and a fixed position. In the pivoting condition, a backboard, pivotally mounted to a frame, is configured for a user to lay on the backboard and alternately raise and lower their hips, while supporting their feet on a foot plate. In a fixed condition, the backboard is positioned proximal to the foot plate, and a user may perform one or more abdominal exercises.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2016Publication date: October 26, 2017Inventor: Michael Dana Clinton

Patent number: 9140058Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for a device to securely support a solar radiation reducing shade screen in a spaced apart relationship to an underlying window. In one embodiment the device is a discrete spacer configured for permanent attachment to a perimeter frame portion of the window, with a bottom surface adjacent the window frame, and a top surface for supporting a perimeter frame portion of the shade screen above the window frame at a uniform height. The device may further include a clamp attachable to the spacer, and operable between a locked position in which the clamp secures the shade screen frame to the spacer, and a released position in which the shade screen frame is not constrained by the clamp.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2014Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Inventor: Michael Dana James
