Abstract: A client module includes a client transceiver module that receives and demodulates a link signal from a multimedia server module over the communications link to produce a received encoded signal, the link signal including a multimedia signal from a multimedia device. A decoder module decodes the received encoded signal into a decoded output signal that is formatted for the at least one client device. A remote receiver module receives remote control signals from a remote control device wherein the remote control signals are formatted for reception by the multimedia device. A remote control signal encoder module encodes the remote control signals into encoded control signals for transmission to the multimedia server module by the client transceiver module.

The database messaging module may also include an address module to determine an IP address associated with each of the one or more database clients and a database messaging transmitter to transmit a message to each determined IP address, where the message may include the message content. The database clients may include a client listener for receiving the message from the database server and displaying it to a database client user's monitor.

Abstract: Certain exemplary embodiments can comprise a method of use comprising: for a call between a local IP network and a remote non-IP network, converting between IP packets and PCM robbed bit signaling via a VoIP channelized router; providing the PCM robbed bit signaling to a TDM switch via the VoIP channelized router; and/or converting between IP packets and GR303 call reference values via the VoIP channelized router.

Abstract: A method for preventing Spam over Internet Telephony (SPIT), includes: a terminal receives a call request of a calling user; the terminal sets an identifier of the calling user into a SPIT reporting request upon receipt of the call request; and sends the SPIT reporting request to a server in response to an instruction of a called user that the call request is the SPIT.

Abstract: A Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) cable modem system is coupled to: i) via a local area internet protocol (IP) network, a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) device operating Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for signaling a VoIP media session; and ii) via a DOCSIS network, a cable modem termination system (CMTS) via a network. The cable modem system comprises instructions stored in a memory and executed by a processor. The instructions comprise: i) in response to receiving a frame via the local area IP network, determining if the frame is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) invite message signaling a VoIP session with a remote endpoint; and ii) in response to determining that the frame is a SIP invite message, generating a DOCSIS message to the CMTS to request an addition of reserved bandwidth on the DOCSIS network for the VoIP session.

Abstract: More seamless handoff between access networks is achieved by saving session information for each access network upon being handed off from the access network and invoking the saved session information upon being handed back to the access network. An access terminal establishes a first session with a first access network, which may entail performing QoS negotiation with the first access network and setting up packet filters at a packet data gateway. The access terminal exchanges data with the first access network in accordance with the configuration of the first session. The access terminal saves the first session configuration after being handed off to a second access network, establishes a second session with the second access network, and exchanges data with the second access network in accordance with the configuration of the second session. The access terminal uses the saved first session configuration upon being handed back to the first access network.

Abstract: A client/server network includes a plurality of IP devices in communication with a central server. The plurality of IP devices communicate with one another to queue themselves onto a linked list. The plurality of IP devices then connect to the central server in the order determined by the linked list. Prior to attempting to connect to the central server, each of the plurality of IP devices verifies that a number of IP devices currently attempting to connect to the central server is not equal to a maximum number.

Abstract: A method of setting a transport block size for a user equipment in a wireless communications system includes providing a combination table for being looked up to generate a parameter value according to a combination of a modulation scheme and a number of channelization codes indicated by a base station, so as to decide a transport block size index, and configuring a first parameter value corresponding to a least resource usage in the combination table as a first transport block size index before deciding the transport block size index. The first transport block size index is a transport block size index corresponding to a smallest transport block size in a transport block size table, and the combination table and the transport block size table are used when quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation, 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (16QAM) or 64 quadrature amplitude modulation (64QAM) is activated.

Abstract: A data stream change detector including a receiving module, a preprocessor module, a clustering module, a strangeness module, a p-value module, a martingale value determination module, comparison module, and an output module. The receiving module accepts new data vectors that originate from a sequence of data in a data stream. Preprocessor module preprocesses the new data vector using a filter. The clustering module clusters the new data vector with previously received data vectors. Strangeness module computes a strangeness value for each of the previously received data vectors. The p-value module calculates a p-value for the new data vector using the strangeness value. Martingale value determination module calculates a martingale value for the new data vector using the p-value. Comparison module compares the martingale value with a threshold value; and sets an indicator if a change if the martingale is greater than the threshold.

Abstract: Various systems and techniques are disclosed relating to dynamic storage of documents. According to one or more exemplary systems and techniques, a location may be dynamically determined from a group of locations to store a state associated with a document based on one or more criteria.

Abstract: A device may include first logic configured to receive a data unit and to receive a network policy. The device may include second logic configured to identify how the data unit will be handled by the network policy and to generate a result that includes information about how the data unit will be handled by the network policy.

Abstract: A proxy server according to an embodiment includes a memory and a communication unit. The memory is configured to store and retrieve a client device identifier and an associated client device transport address, while the communication unit is configured to send and receive messages. The communication unit is configured to receive an identification message according to a first protocol from a client device through at least one intermediate network address translator (NAT). The identification message includes the client device identifier and conveys the client device transport address. The communication unit is configured to receive a request message from an admin device including the client device identifier. The proxy server is configured to retrieve the associated client device transport address and instruct the client device to open a connection with the proxy server according to a second protocol that is different from the first protocol.

Abstract: A method for controlling a computer is disclosed wherein one or more remote locations disposed on a network are accessed in response to scanning an optical code. A first computer disposed on the network connects to a scanner for scanning the optical code of a product by a user. The scanner is uniquely identified with a scanner distributor by a scanner identification number. A second computer disposed on the network is accessed in response to the user scanning the optical code with the scanner, wherein a lookup operation is performed at the second computer to match the scanner identification number with the scanner distributor to obtain remote routing information of the one or remote locations. The remote routing information is returned from the second computer to the first computer in order to access the one or more remote locations disposed on the network. The one or more remote locations are accessed to return remote information to the first computer for presentation.
