  • Method and apparatus for resolving protocol-agnostic schemes in an internet protocol multimedia subsystem
    Patent number: 6931453
    Abstract: A method for use by an I-CSCF (12b) in resolving an address of a message according to SIP but using a protocol-agnostic scheme, and corresponding equipment. The method includes: a step (32) of querying a data store (12c) of scheme mappings, in response to receiving such a request, the querying for determining possible mappings to trial schemes at least one of which resolves the address, i.e. which can be used by the I-CSCF (12b) to find the S-CSCF (12e) for the target user (11b) if the target user is an IMS client, or for forwarding to a gateway or next hop in the path to the target user (11b) if the target user (11b) is not an IMS client; and a step (33) of testing in turn (until success or until all possible trial schemes are tested) each possible trial scheme, the testing based on comparing an address using the trial scheme with an address in a data store (12d) of addresses.

  • Robotic telepresence system
    Patent number: 6292713
    Abstract: A robotic telepresence system has a user station at a first geographic location and a robot at a second geographic location. The user station is responsive to a user and communicates information to and from the user. The robot is coupled to the user station and provides a three dimensional representation of the user transmitted from the user station. The robot senses and communicates predetermined types of information to the user.

  • Diagnostic trend analysis
    Patent number: 5951611
    Abstract: A diagnostic trend analysis method is used to analyze engine trend data for aircraft engines. Appropriate trend parameters are calculated from raw trend data and wild points associated with the calculated trend parameters are eliminated. Abnormal shifts and changes are detected at the most recent point for each trend parameter. The abnormal shifts and changes in each trend parameter are then evaluated. The evaluation is used to filter out spurious symptoms and provide accurate maintenance recommendations for real engine trend shifts.
