Abstract: Examples are disclosed for responding to voice commands within an existing telephony call between two or more end user communication devices mediated by an IP based communications server. The server is mediating a telephony call among the two or more end user communication devices where each end user communication device has its own communication link to the server. The server may detect a trigger event from one of the end user communication devices. Upon detecting the trigger event, the server may receive voice input over the communication link from the end user communication device that generated the trigger event. The received voice input may be parsed into one or more voice commands. The server may then cause the one or more voice commands to be executed. In other embodiments, much of the intelligence and processing may be carried out on the end user communication device directly.

Abstract: A communications system allows individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or speech disabled to use computers and other web devices to connect to an Internet Portal in order to place a call. The system relays communications between a first device and a second device utilizing a third device as an intermediary where the second device is a telephone on a plain old telephone system network and the communications between the first device and third device involves the Internet. The system includes a first input and output communication device coupled to a network and is configured to send and receive communication messages, a server device that receives a session request from the first input and output communication device and sends a call to a call distribution device, a second input and output communication device coupled to a plain old telephone system, and a third input and communicating with the first input and output communication device using a chat room interface.

Abstract: A system for relaying communications between a first device and a second device utilizing a third device as an intermediary where the second device is a telephone on a plain old telephone system network and the communications between the first device and third device involve video. The system includes a first input and output communication device coupled to a network and configured to send and receive communication messages; a server device that sets up the text, video, and audio, routing them to the appropriate devices; a second input and output communication device coupled to a plain old telephone system; and a third input and output communication device coupled to the network via the server device and receiving the separated text, video, and audio to enable a communication session between the first and third input and output communication devices.

Abstract: A pipe coupling for transverse connection of a drainpipe to a concrete sewer pipe of larger relative diameter. The coupling has a hollow, longitudinally extending cylindrical body with first and second ends and interior and exterior surfaces. The body has an external locating shoulder, on the exterior surface, integral with the body and extending outwardly therefrom. The external locating shoulder limits penetration of the coupling in an opening in a sidewall of the concrete pipe. The body also has an internal groove on the interior surface, located at a same longitudinal spacing as the external locating shoulder. The internal groove receives an internal sealing ring for creating a seal between the drainpipe and the body when the drainpipe is inserted.
