Patent number: 11627167Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide for real time communications between service provider subscribers. In one embodiment, a web server is operable to provide a network-to-network interface (NNI) with a plurality of service providers, to communicate with the service providers through WebRTC links, and to retrieve contact information of subscribers to the service providers over the WebRTC links. The web server also includes a database operable to store the contact information of the subscribers. The web server is also operable to process a connection request from a first of the subscribers to connect with a second of the subscribers, to retrieve the second subscriber's contact information from the database, to push a notification message to a device of the second subscriber using the second subscriber's contact information (e.g., a user identity), and to establish a WebRTC connection between first and second subscribers when the second subscriber accepts the connection.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2021Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: Cable Television Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: David Hancock, Ed Miller, Kurt Fennell, Sumanth Channabasappa

Patent number: 7967303Abstract: Disclosed is a carriage system for a water vessel. The carriage system comprises a support assembly and a wheel assembly. The support assembly is removably attached to a first side of the water vessel. The support assembly comprises a first body member disposed on an inner surface of the first side, and a handle member removably attached to the first body member. The wheel assembly is removably attached to a second side opposite to the first side of the water vessel. The wheel assembly comprises a second body member disposed on an inner surface of the second side, and a wheel member removably attached to the second body member. The support assembly facilitates pulling of the water vessel. Further, the wheel assembly facilitates movement of the water vessel upon being pulled using the support assembly.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2009Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Inventor: Henry Ed Miller
