Abstract: Systems and methods of implementing features in session border controllers at runtime after deployment. The systems can include a session border controller (SBC), and a user computer communicably coupled to the SBC by a network. The systems and methods can enable a user to introduce, via the user computer, actionable information (Al) into the SBC, which can store the Al in an Al registry. The SBC can expose or otherwise make available the Al stored in the Al registry to the user, allowing the user to generate and/or modify, using at least some of the Al, one or more policies and/or rules that can be implemented and/or executed by the SBC for introducing one or more features in the SBC. In this way, such features can be implemented in the SBC at runtime after deployment, without having to undergo a separate design and development cycle for the SBC.

Abstract: A fire prevention system useful for controlling actuation of equipment such as combustion or heating devices used in food preparation. The system according to this invention includes a fire alarm circuit and a timer circuit which automatically shuts down energy supplies to such equipment either in response to the detection of a fire, or during preselected periods of scheduled inoperation of the equipment. The system, therefore, in addition to operating as a fire alarm, reduces the likelihood that a fire will be started when equipment is unattended. The fire prevention system according to this invention further includes a manually operated override circuit which restores energy supplies to the controlled equipment irrespective of the control signals provided by the fire alarm circuit and timer.
