Abstract: A communication network includes a switching system, an application server, and a softswitch that communicatively couples the application server to the switching system. The switching system is configured to detect a first call to a primary directory number associated with a phone line and to forward the first call to the application server. The application server is configured to instruct the softswitch to generate a second call to a RingMaster directory number associated with the phone line. And the softswitch is configured to bridge the first and second calls responsive to detection of a communication path completion to the phone line.

Abstract: A lightweight composite electrical wire having a fusible core encased or enclosed by a conductive wall. In embodiments the core is sodium, and the wall is aluminum. In another embodiment the wall is a curved bimetallic wall having a first wall component having a high CTE and a second wall component having a low CTE such that changes in temperature will generate stresses that tend to change the shape of the wall, wherein a break in a heated wire will cause retraction of the core. Transverse bulkheads separate the core longitudinally, precluding or mitigating any loss of core material in accident scenarios, and providing locations for cutting and connecting the conductor. The bulkheads may include indentations. A insulative outer layer is provided. A novel outer layer construction utilizes fusible materials to provide insulation in accident scenarios.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for allowing a telecommunications services subscriber to call a voice information application from a wireline or wireless telephone to allow the subscriber to record and save voice information and access, review and modify previously stored information such as subscriber contacts information, emergency telephone directories, business information, and the like. Information may be stored, accessed and modified by the subscriber via the voice information application by placing a voice telephone call from the subscriber to the voice information application or by contacting the voice information application via a distributed computing environment such as the Internet.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products provide time-restricted passcode access to a restricted access area by: (a) electronically generating a time-limited visitor access passcode that is operational for a security system for a limited time duration; then (b) electronically accepting the visitor access passcode in a security entry control access device in communication with the security system to allow a user with the visitor access passcode a time-limited entry to a restricted area; then (c) automatically electronically preventing user access to the restricted area using the visitor access passcode with the security entry control access device after a certain time or expiration of a certain time period. Embodiments of the invention may be particularly useful for allowing visiting meeting participants physical access to a restricted area in a building to attend a scheduled meeting.

Abstract: A system and method transfers personalization information to a portable storage device from a first computer system, and then adds personalization information to a second computer system from the portable storage device.

Abstract: A system, computer program and method for inspection of a system under inspection. The system may include an inspection program configured to access information available at the system under inspection and generate inspection data for the system under inspection. A runtime platform independent from the inspection program at the system under inspection is configured to limit the limit the contents of the inspection data to a maximum information content. A trusted third-party computer system may assist in selecting the inspection program and transferring the resulting inspection data.

Abstract: A Service Control Point (SCP) has a call list associated with the main telephone number of a called party. When a calling party attempts to contact the called party by calling the main number, but cannot reach the main number, a Service Switching Point (SSP) fires a trigger. One trigger is a T_No_Answer trigger, which is fired in response to a call to the main number that is not answered within a predefined number of rings. Another trigger is a T_Busy trigger that is fired in response to a call to the main number that is made when the main number is busy. Each trigger causes the SCP to access the call list and to cause the SSP to ring an alternative telephone number associated with the main telephone number. If this attempt to reach the called party also fails, then the SSP again fires the trigger and an attempt is made to connect the calling party to the next number on the call list.
