  • Patent number: 8349301
    Abstract: Shampoo compositions comprise (a) from about 5% to about 50% of one or more detersive surfactants, by weight of the shampoo composition; (b) a dispersed gel network phase comprising, by weight of the shampoo composition, (i) at least about 0.05% of one or more fatty amphiphiles; (ii) at least about 0.01% of one or more secondary surfactants; and (iii) water; and (c) at least about 20% of an aqueous carrier, by weight of the shampoo composition. A process for preparing a shampoo composition comprises the steps of: (a) combining a fatty amphiphile, a secondary surfactant, and water at a temperature sufficient to allow partitioning of the secondary surfactant and the water into the fatty amphiphile to form a pre-mix; (b) cooling the pre-mix below the chain melt temperature of the fatty amphiphile to form a gel network; (c) adding the gel network to one or more detersive surfactants and an aqueous carrier to form a shampoo composition.

  • Patent number: 7821923
    Abstract: Session initiation protocol (SIP) control traffic routing decisions, such as rapid failure detection and recovery mechanisms, are based on detection of events and/or conditions that may result in suboptimal performance. The disclosed approach ensures that the SIP traffic is routed or rerouted on an optimal basis. Sample inputs to the SIP routing decisions, include integration with BFD, system metrics and other criteria to determine network and systems conditions, for dynamic decisions on where to optimally route SIP traffic. Examples leverage the B2BUA model, which maintains call state and participates in call processing, however, the examples introduce an improved routing model that is able to not only reroute SIP traffic based on failures but also upon the detection of other suboptimal conditions, e.g. excessive cost. The exemplary techniques provide significant savings by ensuring SIP peering decisions are automatically performed considering costs of peering arrangements, congestion and/or other criteria.

  • Publication number: 20090254969
    Abstract: A method for enabling security on a mobile terminal having a communication link with a circuit switched network against suspicious activities is provided. Activities performed at the mobile terminal are performed according to a security policy provided from the circuit switched network. Detection of a suspicious activity is alerted to the circuit switched network when the suspicious activity is detected. A policy manager server of the circuit switched network changes the security policy to cure the suspicious activity on the mobile terminal. Call traffic delivered to/sent from the mobile terminal is filtered out, which causes the suspicious activity according to the security policy. The mobile terminal enforces a security measure on a suspicious activity according to the security policy.

  • Publication number: 20070025483
    Abstract: Clock synchronization and data recovery techniques are disclosed. For example, a technique for synchronizing a clock for use in recovering received data comprises the following steps/operations. A first clock (e.g., a data clock) is set for a first sampling cycle to a first phase position within a given unit interval in the received data. A second clock (e.g., a sweep clock) is swept through other phase positions with respect to the first phase position such that a transition from the given unit interval to another unit interval in the received data is determined. A sampling point is determined based on measurements at the phase positions associated with the second clock. The second clock is set to the phase position corresponding to the sampling point such that data may be recovered at that sampling point.

  • Publication number: 20050254485
    Abstract: A data call between at least two internetworked computers is established using a central server. Once the data call is in place, prerecorded motion video is shared between the two computers by creating a streaming video server on one user's computer for streaming the prerecorded motion video simultaneously to both users as clients of the streaming server. Either user can pause, rewind, or fast forward the streamed video as it is viewed by both users.
