  • Patent number: 11950017
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for redundantly storing and authenticating event related video data from one or more cameras using a video recording manager device. Additional copies of event related video data are persisted across various storage devices including any combination of internal camera storage, remote storage, and one or more storage mediums associated with the video recording manager device. The stored video data is augmented with authentication metadata to preserve the authenticity such that the video data is suitable as evidence.

  • Patent number: 11947731
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for intention-based user interface control for electronic devices. For example, an electronic device may utilize multiple indirect engagement indicators performed by a user of the electronic device, to confirm which of several displayed user interfaces with which the user intends to engage. Once the electronic device determines which of the multiple user interfaces the user intends to engage with, the electronic device may provide a user input to the application or other process underlying that user interface. The user input may be based, in whole or in part, one or more of the multiple indirect engagement indicators.

  • Publication number: 20080258285
    Abstract: An insulating sheet-like substrate (601), which has on one surface (601a) a first patterned metal layer (605) with a first (603a) and a second (603b) array of contact pads. The pads of the first array have a first pitch center-to-center, and each pad has a first perimeter. The pads of the second array have a second pitch center-to-center, and each pad has the first perimeter. The substrate has on its other surface (601b) a second patterned metal layer (606) with a third array (607) of contact pads, which has the first pitch center-to-center, and each pad has a third perimeter. Conductive vias (640) between the first and the second metal layers connect contact pads and have a fourth perimeter; the vias are placed in interstitial locations so that the fourth perimeter does not intersect with the first and third perimeters. Vias in interstitial locations can be provided by disposing the first array and the third array so that the first and third perimeters of respective contact pads are concentrically aligned.

  • Patent number: 6059341
    Abstract: A quarter side storage compartment accessible from outside the vehicle includes a simplified operating arrangement. The vehicle's endgate is used as an impediment to operation of the compartment latch's release handle. The release handle is positioned so that actuation thereof is not possible without opening the endgate. Preferably, but not necessarily, the endgate is lockable in the closed position, meaning that advantageously, the release handle does not require an individual lock.

  • Patent number: 5422943
    Abstract: Customers that have groups of stations served from multiple digital switching systems, which frequently include mixtures of PBXs and Centrex, require capabilities that will allow those station groups to operate as one global group. This invention permits customer station groups, including PBXs and Centrexes interconnected by private facilities or by the public switched telephone network (including long distance carriers), to act as a single entity that supports integrated voice and data communications. Advantageously, Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Primary Rate Interface (PRI) facilities are used to carry the communications and signaling to and from the PBXs.

  • Patent number: 5361298
    Abstract: This invention relates to arrangements for simplifying the transfer of a source of telecommunications signals, such as a telecommunications customer line or telecommunications trunk, from a first port of a switching system to a second port of that same switching system. Such a transfer requires a transfer of a connection in the outside plant, usually in a manhole, and establishment of a connection from the outside plant to the second port, usually in a distributing frame of the switching system. Translation data is stored for the second port to indicate availability of the second port for assignment to a customer, and, in one embodiment of the invention, to identify the customer to be connected to that second port. In accordance with that embodiment of the invention, the customer line to the first port is tested in the manhole to verify the identity of that customer; the line to the second port is tested to see if the translation data for that second port comprises the same customer identification.

  • Patent number: 5311569
    Abstract: A line-based 911 system and method that completes an emergency call from a telephone to a PSAP comprising a multiplicity of operator stations connected by individual lines to a telephone switching system. An emergency call is routed to the termination ports of the switching system associated with a PSAP. Each of the termination ports is connected to one of the multiplicity of operator stations via its associated line, thereby establishing a path from the telephone to the operator station, the CPN of the calling telephone is delivered to the selected operator station and the operator station obtains location information of the telephone in accordance with the CPN, which is then displayed.

  • Patent number: 5187733
    Abstract: The present invention addresses an improved solution to the problem of cutover verification testing where a new digital switching system is to replace an existing switching system that serves at least a group of subscribers via continuous wire lines. It permits a plurality of existing wire lines to be concurrently connected to channel units associated with the new switching system without adversely impacting the existing service and automatic testing under the control of the new system.
