For any given piece of recorded content, identification information for any of a number of interested persons may be associated with the recorded content. After each interested person associated with a given piece of recorded content views or watches the content or decides he or she is not interested in the recorded content, the recorded content may be deleted. A graphical user interface may be provided for showing the viewing status of persons associated with a given piece of recorded content and for allowing each person associated with the recorded content to manage their individual viewing status.

Abstract: When a communication is directed to an intended recipient, a determination may be made by an intelligent communication disposition manager as to whether one or more available communication devices of the intended recipient are available for routing the incoming communication either based on device availability or routing previously defined by the intended recipient. The intelligent communication disposition manager may utilize presence data of the intended recipient for sending a notification of the incoming communication to one or more of the intended recipient's available communication devices. The intended recipient may select a preferred call routing option for the incoming call/message to be sent. Based on the real-time response from the intended recipient, the call/message may be routed to his/her preferred communication device.

Abstract: A database of a user's contacts and associated contact addresses and real-time presence data may be received and stored in a network-based smart address book. A smart address book application may receive and store one or more contact names, one or more contact addresses for each contact name, and presence data for each contact address. Contact and presence information stored in a smart address book may be transmitted via a network to an endpoint computing device and displayed thereon.

Abstract: A plurality of network devices may be reset. In order to reset the plurality of network devices, a first file may be received including a plurality of host names corresponding to a plurality of network devices. Next, a second file may be received comprising a plurality of security keys respectively indexed with a plurality of network device IDs. Then, data may be created based on the first file and the second file. The data may include a plurality of qualified names each respectively corresponding to each of the plurality of network devices. The data may also include a plurality of security keys each respectively corresponding to each of the plurality of network devices. Next, the data may be sent to a programming module configured to send reset signals to each of the plurality of network devices.

Abstract: A high pressure sodium vapor discharge lamp of the type having a discharge tube with a feed-through tube and an internal electrode at each end of the tube. An outer envelope encompasses the arc tube and there is an arc tube centering means disposed within the outer envelope and electrically coupled to the arc tube. The arc tube centering means is comprised of a geometric configuration which compensates for thermal expansion differences between the arc tube and the outer envelope during lamp sealing and, more importantly, lamp operation. The arc tube centering means includes a pair of offset lead wires, at least one of which has a twisted loop disposed along its length. The offset lead wires are preferably made of niobium.
