  • Publication number: 20230276400
    Abstract: A connection management resource tracks multiple instances of a mobile communication device wirelessly connecting to each of multiple wireless access points at different times to access a remote network. Based on the tracking, the connection management resource determines a set of the multiple wireless access points that reside in a first geographical region. The connection management resource then assigns a selected wireless access point such as a first wireless access point from the set as being a default wireless access point in which to provide the mobile communication device wireless connectivity to the remote network. In one situation, the connection management resource assigns the first wireless access point as the default wireless access point in response to detecting that the mobile communication device most frequently, amongst the multiple instances, establishes wireless connectivity with the first wireless access point to access the remote network.

  • Patent number: 11562337
    Abstract: Examples for determining printing device functionality based on consumption and payment are described herein. In some examples, signals indicative of an amount of utilized print consumable by a printing device and signals indicative of payment for the amount of utilized print consumable are received at a computing device. Signals to cause the printing device to alter a functionality based on the signals indicative of an amount of utilized print consumable and the signals indicative of payment for the amount of utilized print consumable are transmitted by the computing device.

  • Patent number: 11405529
    Abstract: Target color table generated from source color tables. A first significance factor is assigned to a first node in a first source color table. The first node in the first source color table corresponds with a color input in a first color space and provides a first print substance formulation in a second color space. A second significance factor is assigned to a second node in a second source color table. The second node in the second source color table corresponds with the color input in the first color space and provides a second print substance formulation in the second color space. A third node in target color table is generated from the first and second nodes based on the first and second significance factors. The third node corresponds with the color input in the first color space and provides a third print substance formulation in the second color space.

  • Publication number: 20150332402
    Abstract: Methods and a system for providing an annuity having income payments and receipt of a dividend. The method comprises receiving a dividend and having the option to receive the dividend in cash, convert it into an income payment stream, defer a portion of the value of the dividend declared to convert into a future dividend stream, or any combination of the foregoing. A portion of a value of dividends from the annuity can be used to purchase additional income payments. Future dividend payments may be based on additional income payments purchased with dividends. The dividend can be used to purchase additional income payments with a first portion of a value of dividends from the annuity and receive a cash payment with a second portion of the value of the dividends from the annuity. The dividend purchased portion of the income payment may be converted to a non-dividend income payment.
