Abstract: A wireless mobile station experiencing quality-of-service events (including, in some embodiments, quality-of-experience events) automatically transmits corresponding information, along with information that identifies a corresponding access point, to a quality-of-service network element. The latter can use this information to rapidly detect a quality-of-service problem and to also respond, automatically, with a problem isolation strategy and, if desired, automated curative actions such as automated re-routing.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating communications in a network includes receiving a message from a mobile unit having a contact address. A proxy establishes a contact alias associated with the mobile unit and the contact address. The proxy intercepts and identifies at least one signaling message that includes the contact alias. The proxy compresses the at least one signaling message that includes the contact alias. The compressed at least one signaling message is routed to the mobile unit with the contact address.

Abstract: A storage and display device for floppy disks and the like including a molded base unit having a tray for supporting the disks on one edge thereof, a plurality of dividers for separating quantities of the disks within the tray, and hangers pivotally attached to each end of the base unit for suspending the storage container relative to a pair of parallel supports. The hangers are pivotable between a position in parallel side-by-side relationship with the corresponding end surface of the tray and a position extending upwardly relative to the end walls of the tray.

Abstract: A storage container for floppy disks and the like includes a cover member pivotally attached to a base member. The base member includes a floor that has a plurality of guide slots which accept dividers so as to permit organizational classification and to facilitate identification and recovery. The base member includes upwardly extending front, rear and side walls. A finger grip is formed in both the front and rear walls. Along the outboard edge of each side wall is a downwardly extending skirt that runs from the front wall to a point near the rear wall. The cover member may be pivoted through an arc of about 90 degrees which provides easy access to the disk stored inside. The rear edge of each skirt provides a cover stop against which the bottom edge of the rear wall of said cover member rests when the cover is in the fully opened condition. This prevents the cover member from opening further.

Abstract: A storage container for floppy disks is comprised of an open top box-like bottom portion, a support arm and a storage pouch which includes an upper part and a lower part. The support arm is pivotally attached to the opposed side walls of said bottom portion at a point adjacent the back wall thereof. The storage pouch is hingedly attached to the support arm at a position near the center of the upper surface thereof, and is secured by guide projections in the guide slots formed along each said side wall. By this arrangement, the rotational movement about the pivotal connection will cause the stored pouch to rise and in so doing, move forward because of the guide slot engagement. At the forward end of the guide slot, is a downwardly extending dog leg that permits the storage pouch to drop down so as to rest on the floor of the base portion. The lower part of pouch is pivotally attached to the upper part and is held in this condition by a detent arrangement.

Abstract: A filing and storage container for floppy disks and diskettes including a molded base unit (10), a molded cover unit (12) pivotally attached to the base, a plurality of indexing file separators (60), and means (40), (46) provided along the lower portions of the inside walls of the base unit for receiving the lower edges of the file separators and allowing them to pivot between rearwardly inclined positions and forwardly inclined positions.

Abstract: A storage container and display device for floppy diskettes, and the like, has a base portion (10) forming a receptacle (12) of generally rectangular configuration and having a support portion (14) hingedly attached thereto and removeably interlocked with a first portion (24) of an upper part (22). A second portion (26) of the upper part (22) is hingedly attached to the first portion (24) thereof so as to cooperatively form a holder for floppy diskettes, and the like. When both portions (24, 26) of the upper part (22) are swung open relative to one another, the contents thereof can be placed on display. Conversely, when both portions (24, 26) of upper part (22) of the unit are in overlying relation and folded into the receptacle (12) formed by the base portion (10) a compact storage unit results. A guide arrangement is associated with both the base portion (10) and the upper part (22) for facilitating relative movement between the various parts and portions of the device.

Abstract: A diskette storage container is formed of molded plastic parts which are pivotally connected together. A substantially rectangular base member has upwardly rising side walls, and cams having cam apertures adjacent the side walls. A cover member is pivotally connected to the base so that the rear edge of the cover passes into the base and rests at a slightly obtuse angle against the cams. A diskette support member is pivotally mounted to said cover and includes camming surfaces which ride on said cams as the cover is rotated toward its open position. The pivotal connection is disposed rearwardly of the centroid of the diskette support member. A notch in said camming surface is positioned to engage the cams when the cover is fully opened. This allows the diskette support member to drop forward a predetermined distance which improves accessibility to the diskettes.

Abstract: A diskette storage container is formed of three molded plastic parts which are pivotally connected together. A substantially rectangular base member has upwardly rising side walls, a display operative in the bottom and cams adjacent the side walls. A cover member is pivotally connected to the base so that the rear edge of the cover passes into the base and rests at a slightly obtuse angle against the cams. A diskette support member is pivotally mounted to said cover and includes camming surfaces which ride on said cams as the cover is rotated toward its open position. A notch in said camming surface is positioned to engage the cams when the cover is fully opened. This allows the diskette support member to drop forward a predetermined distance which improves accumibility to the diskette.

Abstract: A video cassette packaging device including a single molded plastic part 10 having four living hinges 28, 50, 72 and 74 which allow the part to be folded along such hinges to provide a container having two push-button type latches 14 and 16 which are resiliently held in the locked position by a single biasing element 12. The latching components 14 and 16 automatically engage the closure portion 18 of the container as it is closed about a cassette and urge the closure portion toward its open position when the two latching buttons are simultaneously depressed. The exterior of the container is configured to be aesthetically pleasing while at the same time having provisions for receiving mailing labels and for matingly interacting with storage racks presently on the market.
