Patent number: 11297186Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for enabling communication between parties are disclosed. A system may include a first communication device associated with a first user and a second communication device associated with a second user. The system may include a first communication channel between the first user and the second user for transmitting call data between the first communication device and the second communication device. The system may include a second communication channel between the first user and the second user established concurrently with the first communication channel. The second communication channel may be separate from the first communication channel. The second communication channel may be established by connection of the communication session participants to a multipoint control unit that is configured to transmit media data between the first communication device and the second communication device.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Inventors: Daniel Baker, Jason Briggs, Steve Saunders, Amy Benich, Isaac Roach, Mark Grossinger, David Lance Pickett, Thomas Hawkes, Kevin Selman

Patent number: 9673923Abstract: Described are systems and methods for communicating emergency alerts to a hearing-impaired user. Queries are performed to one or more emergency alert databases to develop emergency alert notifications. At least some of the emergency alert notifications are filtered responsive to user selected criteria to select one or more filtered emergency alerts. An attention desired indicator is transmitted to a hearing-impaired user device that subscribes to a hearing-impaired relay service supported by the server if the one or more filtered emergency alerts are present. The filtered emergency alerts are transmitted to the hearing-impaired user device in response to a emergency information query from that user device.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2015Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: SORENSON IP HOLDINGS, LLCInventors: Steve Taggart, Bruce Johnson, Steve Saunders, Jarod Cranor, Don Brenner, Brian Chevrier, Jennifer Mitchell

Patent number: 7233959Abstract: A records manager manages life cycle phases of records managed by a host application program. The records manager is in communication with the host application program over a network and includes a file plan database, a record management engine and an application program interface. The file plan database includes at least one file plan object, with each file plan object having a life cycle rule. The record management engine is configured to manage life cycle states of the record. The application program interface is in communication with the record management engine and is configured to transmit to the host application program over the network indications of changes in the life cycle phases.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2002Date of Patent: June 19, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nick Kanellos, Steve Saunders

Publication number: 20050153110Abstract: A composite including (A) a first layer of paper having a printable upper surface and a lower surface, the printable upper surface forming a topmost surface of the composite; (B) a first extruded polymer layer having an upper surface joined to the lower surface of the first layer of paper and having a lower surface; and (C) an adhesive layer on the lower surface of the polymer layer. The composite may further include (D) a release-coated liner having a topmost surface and a bottommost surface and including a second layer of paper and the lower surface of the second layer of paper forms the bottommost surface of the release-coated liner. The release-coated liner may include an additional polymer layer. One or more primer layers may be included between various layers of the composite. The bottom surface of the composite may be printable.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2005Publication date: July 14, 2005Inventors: Anita Juby, Steve Saunders

Patent number: 6783816Abstract: This invention relates to an inkjet substrate comprising a polymeric core having a first and second surface, an inkjet coating on the first surface and a metallized layer covering at least a portion of the second surface. The invention also relates to support substrates that are adhered to the inkjet substrate. Additionally the invention relates to methods of making the inkjet substrate and methods of using the same. The present invention provides a metallic appearance to ordinary inkjet printing to provide unique and special print effects. These substrates are useful for printing paper substrates, greeting cards, and novelties, such as buttons and magnets, binders, labels, index products, etc.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2002Date of Patent: August 31, 2004Assignee: Avery Dennison CorporationInventors: Valery Golub, Dean Hanawalt, Steve Saunders

Publication number: 20030236788Abstract: A records manager manages life cycle phases of records managed by a host application program. The records manager is in communication with the host application program over a network and includes a file plan database, a record management engine, and an applications program interface. The file plan database includes at least one file plan object, with each file plan object having a life cycle rule. The record management engine includes filing means and determining means. The filing means files record identifiers within the file plan objects in accordance with record profile data received over the network. The determining means tracks changes in the life cycle phases for the records from the life cycle rules. The applications program interface is in communication with the record management engine, and is configured to transmit to the host application program over the network indications of the changes in the life cycle phases.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2002Publication date: December 25, 2003Inventors: Nick Kanellos, Steve Saunders
