  • Patent number: 11930133
    Abstract: A device may determine that a failure occurred in an emergency call between a public-safety answering point (PSAP) and a first user device associated with an emergency caller, and may identify, based on determining the failure, one of a first option, a second option, or a third option for redirecting an emergency callback to a contact of the emergency caller. The device may cause, when the first option is identified, the emergency callback to be redirected to a second user device associated with the contact of the emergency caller, and may cause, when the first option is identified, a bearer path to be established between the PSAP and the second user device for the emergency callback.

  • Publication number: 20230388415
    Abstract: A network device may receive, from a user device, a call associated with a telephone number, where the call is intended for a priority service associated with the telephone number. The network device may identify the call as a priority call based on the telephone number associated with the call, and may determine that a network overload condition exists. The network device may associate a priority tag with the call based on identifying the call as a priority call. The network device may cause the call to be provided preferential treatment, while the call is transmitted for the priority service during the network overload condition, based on the priority tag.

  • Patent number: 11754335
    Abstract: A refrigeration appliance has a storage box with an open upper end. First and second hanging pins are disposed on a cover plate. The first hanging pin is hung in a first hanger loop and is movable in a front-rear direction and/or an up-down direction in the first hanger loop. The second hanging pin is hung in a second hanger loop and is movable in the front-rear direction and/or the up-down direction in the second hanger loop. The cover plate is movable in the front-rear direction and/or the up-down direction relative to the storage box to at least partially open and close the storage box. The first hanger loop includes an open section that enables the first hanging pin to enter the first hanger loop from the open section and the cover plate of the refrigeration appliance is thereby easy to install.

  • Patent number: 11653334
    Abstract: In some implementations, an application server may receive, from a calling party user equipment, a call for a called party associated with multiple user equipment. The application server may provide to the multiple user equipment, and based on the call, a request for transcoding information associated with the multiple user equipment. The application server may assign a transcoding resource for handling the call, wherein the transcoding resource is provided in a network. The application server may receive, based on the request, the transcoding information from a particular user equipment of the multiple user equipment. The application server may provide the transcoding information to the transcoding resource, wherein the transcoding information causes the transcoding resource to establish and transcode the call between the calling party user equipment and the particular user equipment.

  • Publication number: 20220307761
    Abstract: A support component for a tray component of a refrigeration appliance includes an outer frame, an inner frame, and a reinforcing member. The outer frame has a first open end, the first open end is configured for inserting at least one part of the reinforcing member into the outer frame. The inner frame is connected to the outer frame and at least one part of the reinforcing member is located between the inner frame and the outer frame. The support component with such a structure reduces the probability that the partial structure of a frame is damaged due to the compression of a reinforcing member. The tray component and the refrigeration appliance having the support component have a high product yield and are not likely to fall apart.

  • Publication number: 20220307762
    Abstract: A shelf tray assembly has a bracket and a partition, where the partition includes a first partition. The bracket includes a sliding rail with a second section and a first section higher than the second section, and there is a first height difference between the first and second sections. The first partition is configured to reciprocate on the bracket along the sliding rail, and a movement path of the first partition includes a first position and a second position. When the first partition is located at the first position, the first partition is supported on the first section. When the first partition is located at the second position, the first partition is supported on the second section. The shelf tray assembly includes a lifting structure. A height difference when the first partition rises or falls can be effectively reduced, and a moving process of the first partition becomes smoother.

  • Patent number: 11425247
    Abstract: A method may include determining that a digit pattern has been input on a user device to initiate a call; transmitting the digit pattern to a device that stores a list of digit patterns to which calls are not to be completed; receiving, from the device, data that indicates whether the digit pattern is on the list of digit patterns; prohibiting the call from being initiated with a network when the data indicates that the digit pattern is on the list of digit patterns; and initiating the call with the network when the data indicates that the digit pattern is not on the list of digit patterns.
