  • Patent number: 7824231
    Abstract: A communications outlet includes eight outlet tines positioned adjacent to one another and define four pairs of outlet tines. The fourth and fifth outlet tines define a first pair, the first and second outlet tines define a second pair, the third and sixth outlet tines define a third pair, and the seventh and eighth outlet tines define a fourth pair. Each outlet tine has a free end near which a plug tine is adapted to contact the outlet tine and each outlet tine has a fixed end coupled through a corresponding conductive tine to a corresponding electrical contact. The communications outlet includes an internal crosstalk compensation stage having a plurality of conductive fingers. Each conductive finger is physically connected to a corresponding one of the outlet tines proximate the free ends of the tines.

  • Patent number: 7412489
    Abstract: There is provided a method and system for archival and retrieval of communications and related documents that uses hardware and software to selectively monitor, capture, catalog and retrieve electronic communications and documents relating to the business of employees or individuals of the organization to effectively comply with applicable regulations, such as governmental regulations. Archived electronic communications and information are stored in a third party archiving system and accessible by authorized individuals using a secure network connection, such as an intranet web-service or web interface, or an online browser connection to search and retrieve selected archived data and information. The system and method for archiving and retrieving communications is advantageously implemented in an organization having a large volume of electronic communications and storage requirements.

  • Publication number: 20070265114
    Abstract: Teaching a golfer a golf movement by applying a force to the muscles of the student while the student is performing the golf movement. The force being applied is either assistive or resistive in order to teach and train the student's muscles. Mechanisms for applying these forces are attachable to the body and typically extend from a portion of the body to a stationary object.

  • Patent number: 6892210
    Abstract: A database management and synchronization program implemented across a peer-to-peer computer network, consisting of a sharing community of user computers. Database record synchronization throughout the sharing community is accomplished by using a synchronization object which contains the information about a change in a specific record or the addition of a new record. The synchronization object is transmitted by a local user computer at any time to a routing agent, which in turn transmits the synchronization object at any time to remote user computers within the sharing community. The synchronization object is then used by the remote user computer to update their database records.
