Patent number: 10122862Abstract: The present invention comprises systems and methods for controlling a connection between and IT infrastructure and a telephony network. In one embodiment, the present invention allows such control through the use of application services adapted for use with a telephony network, a telephony application server that exposes the telephony network to the application services, and a service mediation platform controlling the interaction between the application services and the telephony application server. The service mediation server may comprise a user profile manager for handling the user profiles of a subscriber database, a service level agreement manager for invoking a set of application services, and a resource policy enforcement manager for managing the resources of the telephony network.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2006Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: UBIQUITY SOFTWARE CORPORATION LIMITEDInventor: Douglas Tucker

Patent number: 8099716Abstract: Systems and methods defining a service oriented object framework for use in providing an open application environment facilitating application function integration are shown. Embodiments provide object life management, platform resources management, and event management capabilities. A multi-layer architecture, defining object layers within an application container, may be used. A primary layer of such an architecture may comprise infrastructure objects providing foundational element blocks embodying protocol specific functions of the services that are to be built on top of a development container. An intermediate layer of such an architecture may comprise service objects providing service level functions. An upper layer of such an architecture may comprise business objects providing application orchestration element blocks defining the logical application created by combining the foregoing objects.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2005Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Ubiquity Software Corporation LimitedInventors: Douglas Tucker, James Steadman

Patent number: 6152185Abstract: A hose band for reducing friction between a hose and a surface along which the hose is moved, having a flexible strip which has a series of contact ribs and flexible webs, and a fastening element holding the strip in position about the circumference of the hose. The flexible webs allow the strip to be wrapped around the circumference of the hose, and the ribs hold the hose above the surface along which the hose is moved. The fastening elements can be clips, bands or ties and may engage a circumferential channel on the strip.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1998Date of Patent: November 28, 2000Assignee: National Valve & Engineering Company Pty. Ltd.Inventor: Clifford Douglas Tucker
