Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for adjusting the frequency of data transmissions in a voice activated data packet based environment. A pooling component can generate first and second action data structures into a pooled data structure, and can transmit the pooled data structure to a service provider computing device to cause it device to perform an operation defined by the pooled data structure. Based on characteristics of the client devices, the system can select transmission rates for the transmission of operations associated with the pooled data structure to each of the client devices.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, computer-readable medium and a method for delivering advertisements to user devices. The method includes storing first data associated with online and physical activity of plurality of customers, storing second data associated with current status of plurality of advertisers, matching a customer with an advertiser based on analysis of the first data and the second data and delivering an advertisement to a device associated with the matched customers online and physical activity. The on-line and physical activity is captured by a plurality of devices including a mobile device via a plurality of sensors.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a metadata driven framework for operations support systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method provides a hierarchical schema for a product. For example, a metadata for each element in the hierarchical structure, and a metalanguage for controlling tasks such as data collection, data orchestration, validation, field rendering, etc. are then created. In one embodiment, the method then provides framework aware engines for compiling the metadata and metalanguage into runtime forms. For each service or product to be provided, the product or service specific behavior and the operations support systems that are impacted are identified. The framework aware engine then compiles the metadata at runtime to generate at least one update for at least one operations support function.

Abstract: A communication device [400] includes a transceiver [405] to receive and transmit data. A message detection element [410] detects at least a first message and a second message in the data received by the transceiver [405]. A processor [400] modifies a state of the communication device [400] based on the first message and the second message. A positive acknowledgement is transmitted in response to the first message comprising a call pending message, and the state is modified to establish a session and inhibit an alerting of a user of the communication device. The state is modified to alert the user of the communication device [400] in response to the second message comprising a call start message.

Abstract: A WLAN (108) includes a first access point (104) for providing wireless service within a first coverage area, a second access point (106) for providing wireless service within a second coverage area and programmed to transmit probe responses, and a wireless communications unit (102) located within the first coverage area and operating on the wireless service of the first access point (104). The communications unit (102) is programmed to monitor, or passively probe, for the probe responses, or is instructed by the first access point (104) on when to monitor for the probe responses, transmitted by the second access point (106). By executing such passive probing, the communications unit (102) may make handover decisions for switching between the wireless service of the first access point (104) to the wireless service of the second access point (106) based on access point data included in the probe responses.

Abstract: When any remote unit (113–118) desires to create a talk group, it transmits an inbound message to a group call database (112). The inbound message includes the identity of the requesting communication device, and the participants of the talk group. Upon receiving the request, group the call database (112) provides an outbound message to all members of the newly created talk group giving them a chance to opt out of inclusion into the new talk group. The database (112) then creates a database entry with the new talk group and those remote units that positively responded to the outbound message.

Abstract: A microwave waveguide filter includes a main-line cavity structure with a group of at least two rectangular main-line cavities arrayed along a main propagation path and including a first main-line cavity and a second main-line cavity. Each main-line cavity includes a sidewall, and each pair of adjacent main-line cavities has a common transverse wall transverse to the main propagation path and a main-line aperture in the common transverse wall. A rectangular first feedback cavity is in microwave communication with each of the first main-line cavity and the second main-line cavity through the respective sidewall of the first main-line cavity and the second main-line cavity. There is a first-cavity feedback aperture between the first feedback cavity and the first main-line cavity, and a second-cavity feedback aperture between the first feedback cavity and the second main-line cavity. There may be additional feedback cavities as well.
