Abstract: A medication adherence service receives patients' medication schedules from health care professionals and systems. A medication adherence device is communicatively coupled to the medication adherence service. Based upon a patient's prescribed medication schedule, the medication adherence device manages and monitors a patient's adherence to the prescribed medication schedule. The medication adherence device captures images of compartments holding medications in accordance with the prescribed medication schedule. These images are analyzed to aid the patient in filling the compartments and to manage and monitor the patient in adhering to the prescribed schedule.

Abstract: The disclosure describes an implementation of a combinational thermometric-R2R that includes a thermometric DAC circuit to output the coarse output steps, an R2R circuit to control the fine output steps, and a resistor in series with the thermometric and R2R circuits. The techniques of this disclosure implement a fine resolution DAC, on the order of two nanoamps per bit, that operates at low current, yet maintains monotonicity throughout the DAC output range.

Abstract: A digital asset system comprises a user information system, a transaction machine instructions generator to produce machine instructions of a blockchain transaction, a signing module, a blockchain communications system that sends system-signed messages to a blockchain system, and a transaction mediating system that receives user input comprising a transaction data structure representing the blockchain transaction. The transaction mediating system can send machine instructions to other elements of the system in response to user input and machine instructions of the blockchain transaction for execution on a blockchain system.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided authenticating transactions on a token contract. A transaction rule compliance engine that utilizes stored user information to ensure that transactions of tokens associated with the token contract comply with defined ruleset. A curation system maintains the stored user information on the token contract or elsewhere on the blockchain system.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for efficient distribution of digital assets according to a token contract defined by a rule set governing token ownership, transactions, and entitlements. A token contract audit system analyzes a ledger from a token contract to determine a balance for each of a plurality of users for the contract. A token distribution contract management system generates a distribution contract and publishes the contract to a distributed blockchain system to allow a subset of the plurality of users of the token contract to interact with the distribution contract.

Abstract: A device is capable of connecting to both a WLAN and a cellular data network. Preference is given to using the WLAN. However, prior to connecting to the WLAN, the cellular data network is used to connect to a remote portal from which the device receives parameters to connect to the WLAN. The portal initiates prompts to receive the WLAN parameters that it provides to the device. Upon successfully connecting to the portal the device deactivates the cellular data connection. Upon there being network path errors on the preferred network connection, the device is capable of activating the secondary cellular data connection to the portal to report errors.

Abstract: In one example, a method for a conference bridge failover in a conference call system may include determining that a first conference bridge with a connection for a participant telephone has failed. The method may also include determining whether one or more conference bridge have resources to manage the connection for the participant telephone of the first conference bridge and assigning the connection for the participant telephone to the one or more conference bridge in response to the determination.

Abstract: A system to monitor bandwidth can include memory to store session data describing each communication session for at least a portion of a communication system. A bandwidth calculator can access the session data and provide a measure of bandwidth utilization computed based on the accessed session data.

Abstract: A script provides instructions for a Bluetooth LE client to interface with a Bluetooth LE server. Such scripts may be created manually or may be generated by a Bluetooth LE client reading the GATT profile of a Bluetooth LE server, in which case actions are generated based upon the permission the client has with respect to each characteristic. In some cases the generated scripts may require additional instructions before they are deployed. A service provides interfaces to accept scripts, check the scripts for errors, and generates alerts for errors or when additional instructions are required. When the service determines that scripts are ready for use by Bluetooth LE clients the service distributes them to said clients.

Abstract: In one example, a method for selecting an assigned conference server for a participant telephone in a conference call may include determining whether a default conference server has required resources for connecting the telephone participant to the conference call. The method may also include selecting the default conference server as the assigned conference server if the default conference server has the required resources for connecting the participant telephone to the conference call.

Abstract: A conference call solution with one or more conference server, one or more conference bridge and one or more media mixer. A conference server is chosen as the conference bridge for the conference call using various optimization techniques. A media mixer for the conference call may also be chosen using various optimization techniques. The media mixer mixes media data from one or more conference bridge. If a conference bridge or the media mixer fails, the system recovers from the failure with minimal interruption to the users.

Abstract: A conference call system with a plurality of endpoints, a switch and a media mixer is disclosed. One or more entities in the conference call system comprise part or whole of a feature module. The feature module executes various telephony features like adjusting the volume of a selected participant in a conference call, initiating a sidebar with a participant wherein other participants cannot hear the conversation of the participants in the sidebar, putting a selected call participant on hold from an endpoint other than the selected participant's endpoint, disconnecting a selected participant from an endpoint other than the selected participant's endpoint and transferring a call with two or more participants to a new participant's endpoint.

The codec manager and the bandwidth manager used for negotiating a codec for a call between two endpoints. The present invention also includes a number of methods including a method for negotiating a codec for a call, a method for managing bandwidth for a call, a method for adding a description of a new codec supported by an endpoint, a method for adding an identifier of a supported codec to a codec list and a method for editing code site codec settings.

Abstract: A system for using one or more via sites to manage network bandwidth, according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a first call manager at a source site receiving an offer message to connect a call. The offer message includes an endpoint media settings list. The first call manager determines a first filtered media preferences list based on a source media settings list and the endpoint media settings list. The first call manager and transmits an invite message to a second call manager at a first via site. The invite message includes the first filtered media preferences list. The first call manager receives from the second call manager a call settings list that includes a description of the call settings negotiated between the source site, the first via site and a destination site.
