Abstract: A combination tool assembly includes a pair of pliers. The pair of pliers is releasably attachable together thereby facilitating the pair of pliers to be closed around an object for gripping the object. The pair of pliers is detachable from each other and each of the pliers has a receiving element. A ratcheting driver is rotatably integrated into a respective one of the pliers and the engagement releasably engages a respective one of the pliers for pivotally attaching the pair of pliers together. A plurality of wrenches is provided and respective ones of the wrenches are removably attachable to the receiving element in a respective one of the pliers. In this way a user can accomplish a variety of jobs with a single tool thereby reducing the number of tools the user must carry.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to methods, systems, user devices and computer program products for providing network status information. Methods include receiving alarm data for an event from a plurality of sources. The alarm data includes a plurality of alarm records each including a site identifier. The alarm data is processed to create report data. The processing includes assigning an attribute of failed to each of the site identifiers that are specified in more than a threshold number of the alarm records. The report data comprises at least digital loop carrier information. The report data is transmitted to a mechanized loop test (MLT) testing system capable of generating MLT test results. The MLT test results are used to adjust the digital loop carrier information included in the report data, wherein the digital loop carrier information specifies a quantity of digital carrier loop lines that are out of service.

Abstract: Embodiments of a method for negotiating a service include enabling a first user to submit a set of information for establishing a service on behalf of another person, the set of information prohibited from being submitted by the first user unless the set of information completely satisfies criteria for the set of information that is needed for establishing the service in accordance with operating standards for establishing the service. The method further includes, after submission of the set of information by the first user, notifying a second user of the submission and enabling the second user to review the set of information and update the set of information with additional information regarding establishment of the service. Other methods and systems are also provided.
