  • Patent number: 7508815
    Abstract: A computer program product is embodied on a computer readable medium for using voice data traffic to reproduce a user experience for facilitating troubleshooting of at least one of a plurality of VoIP stations. The computer program product includes computer-executable instructions for retrieving packets of the voice data traffic associated with the VoIP station, and identifying time stamps associated with the retrieved packets. An amount of jitter associated with each of the retrieved packets is determined at least partially dependently upon the identified time stamps, and it is determined whether each of the retrieved packets will fit into a jitter buffer at least partially dependently upon the determined amounts of jitter. The instructions include dropping select ones of the retrieved packets dependently upon the determination of whether each of the retrieved packets will fit into the jitter buffer and, filling a buffer with at least select ones of the retrieved data packets not dropped.

  • Patent number: 7369509
    Abstract: A computer program product being embodied on a computer readable medium for facilitating troubleshooting a VoIP session associated with at least one VoIP station using network traffic data, the computer program product including computer-executable instructions for: identifying data packets of the network traffic data indicative of VoIP signaling information or voice communications; determining if the identified packets are associated with the at least one VoIP station; determining whether a quality of the VoIP session was acceptable substantially simultaneously with the VoIP session; and, at least temporarily storing at least a portion of the identified packets determined to be associated with the at least one VoIP station when the VoIP session is determined to of an unacceptable quality.

  • Patent number: 4278095
    Abstract: The invention encourages optimal exercise, particularly of the aerobic type, for cardiovascular fitness. The user powers an exerciser, such as a treadmill, simulated cycling or rowing, and the like, and a monitor displays the users speed and distance accomplished. A variable speed outdoor exercising scene (such as a person rowing a boat) is shown to the user when the monitor is a TV set. The users speed signal controls the speed of a videotape cassette player to proportionately change the speed of the outdoor exercising scene. The speed signal is converted to the reciprocal of speed i.e., minutes per mile and the distance is displayed to hundredths of miles. The latter two signals are converted to BCD digits and superimposed on the video through a TV positioning and generation circuit for display on the scene. The heart beat is picked up electrically or by infra red and converted into three digits of beats per minute, and also superimposed on the video for display on the monitor.

  • Patent number: 3976022
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to lifting boats and barges within a dry dock by means of compressed air. The air is conducted from compressor through hose lines to open bottomed compartments of the floating dry dock and controlled by remote actuated valves whereby either through adding air or venting air from the dock compartments the dock may be trimmed fore and aft as well as athwart ship to assure registry with a yard marine railway system. Support legs guide the up and down movement of the dock to assure alignment with the marine railway so that the vessel within the dock may be transferred by a dolly and rail system to the yard rail system.

  • Patent number: 3957006
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to transportable pumping station which is erected on a barge which may be transported on water to a site and the barge flooded to the river or water bottom so that pump intakes are supplied with intake water free of debris by screening the water to be pumped. If it is desired to relocate the pumping station wall covers are applied to the water intakes in the barge end walls and the barge is pumped dry and towed to the relocation site by tug boat and flooded down at the new site.
