Abstract: In one embodiment according to the invention, there is disclosed a method for implementing call controls in a telephony network. The method comprises processing a call log of actual calls for an individual end user of the telephony network to identify applicability, for each call of the call log, of each rule of a set of call control rules; and providing a display of a call disposition that would occur for at least one call in the call log, assuming implementation of the set of call control rules. Another embodiment according to the invention comprises providing a call log of calls for an individual end user of the telephony network; and providing a display of a call control rule applied to a call of the call log. The display of the call control rule comprises an identification of one or more criteria that triggered application of the call control rule, and a disposition of the call as a result of the call control rule.

The identity provider locator server can include a memory that stores a list of active identity provider servers for a particular end-user having access to the data network. Further, one or more of the plurality of identity provider servers is able to add or remove itself from the list of active identity provider servers.

Abstract: Call logs are generated based upon calls from a subscriber line and calls to a subscriber line. The call logs are formatted from Generic Data Interface (GDI) messages into an email format (e.g., SMTP) within a call log gateway. The formatted email is then emailed to an email recipient, which can include a messaging service provider or the subscriber himself. The email address to the recipient is determined by the call log gateway based upon the subscriber's identity.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a portal view of a trusted application to a user over a communication network is discussed. The portal view can be generated from at least one of the services linked to the application according to a trust model in which trust is extended to the application from the user. When the application provides single sign-on capabilities, those services that are linked to the application can then be logged into simultaneously when the user logs into only one of the services. The trusted application is opaque to those services not linked to the application. The portal view provides a means for linking and de-linking services.

Abstract: A service delivery system is disclosed and includes a first service provider platform and a second service provider platform. Further, the service delivery system includes an identity provider system that provides a single sign-on service with respect to the first service provider platform and the second service provider platform. The service delivery system also includes a log server to store session information created at the first service provider platform, the second service provider platform, and the identity provider system. Additionally, the service delivery system includes a customer care application server that provides a customer care application. The customer care application server has access to the log server in order to retrieve the stored session information.

Abstract: A hydraulic assembly has a first fluid valve and a second fluid valve. A switching valve having a first fluid input and a second fluid input also has a fluid output. The first fluid input is in fluid communication with the first fluid valve while the second fluid input is in fluid communication with the second fluid valve. The switching valve is configured to switch fluid communication to the fluid output between the first fluid input and the second fluid input. A fluid actuator is in fluid communication with the fluid output. A housing for the switching valve is provided. The housing has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first fluid passage permitting fluid communication between the first fluid valve and the first fluid input and a second fluid passage permitting fluid communication between the second fluid valve and the second fluid input. The first fluid passage has a first opening and the second fluid passage has a second opening.

Abstract: This invention relates to potent potassium channel blocker compounds of Formula I or a formulation thereof for the treatment of glaucoma and other conditions which leads to elevated intraoccular pressure in the eye of a patient. This invention also relates to the use of such compounds to provide a neuroprotective effect to the eye of mammalian species, particularly humans.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for a shared line Find-Me-Follow-Me (FMFM) voicemail application. Each person sharing a telephone number is provided a sub mailbox with FMFM contact numbers individually configured for each user sub mailbox. The invention further provides a method and apparatus for dynamic out dial determination that removes numbers from the FMFM contact number list that match numbers in the inbound call path to avoid looping. The present invention further provides a method and apparatus for FMFM call path duplication of the inbound call path onto the out dial call information to provide caller identification for the original calling party after the call is forwarded or processed using FMFM.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and a method display incoming and outgoing call log data associated with telephone calls to and from a plurality of subscriber telephone numbers from one or more telephone networks. The system includes a switch in one network that receives a telephone call from the subscriber's telephone and launches a query in response to an AIN trigger to a service control point. In response, the service control point forwards associated call data to a call log gateway that translates the message into an asynchronous message containing call log data. The call log gateway forwards the asynchronous message to a unified communication platform where it is placed in subscriber mailbox and made available as a call log to a subscriber via a graphic user interface over the internet. A web server retrieves the call log and displays it to the subscriber at a web client.

Abstract: A subscriber is provided with personal caller identification information when a telephone call is placed to the subscriber. In particular, a network service platform is supplied with a calling party number. A network caller ID database is queried using the calling party number to retrieve network caller ID information. A central personal address book is queried, using the calling party number, to retrieve personal caller identification information associated with the calling party number. Then the network element forwards the network caller identification information supplemented with the personal caller identification information to the subscriber when connecting the telephone call to the subscriber.

Abstract: An automobile's maintenance port is wirelessly connected (for example, via an IEEE 802.11-based connection) to a plurality of gateways/routers that forward automobile diagnostic data (such as a series of diagnostic codes) to a network analyzer server. The network analyzer server offers subscribers a service providing analysis of the received diagnostic data, wherein such analyzed information is transmitted to one or more predetermined locations (such as to a personal computer of the subscriber or a mechanic's diagnostic device at a service station). Thus, homeowners and garages receive the same data and the system eliminates the need for garages to purchase expensive engine analyzers.
