Abstract: A method for providing clean endpoints including managing a collection of endpoints; testing communication of an endpoint of the collection of endpoints; and generating a cleanliness score for the endpoint according to results of the test. The method functions to create a metric that can be used to evaluate undesired communication activity and functionality of an endpoint. The method may be implemented by any suitable platform providing endpoint addresses to clients, which may include service providers, internet-telephony platforms, or any suitable entity. The method is preferably applied to telephony endpoints used in internet-telephony applications, but may be used in any suitable application.

Abstract: The preferred embodiment of the invention includes a method for notifying a user of a live event. The method includes the following steps: (a) analyzing data related to media associated with different performers within a user's collection or usage history; (b) deducing a performer preferred by the user based on the analysis; (c) receiving data related to a location from the user; (d) determining a live event associated with the preferred performer and located near the received location; and (e) notifying the user of the live event. The method of the preferred embodiment is preferably incorporated into an online media store that provides media associated with particular performers (such as songs, audiobooks, podcasts, music videos, short films, TV shows, sporting events, and movies). Because the online media store offers the media content, they are in a “trusted” position to offer other services, such as the notification of live events.

Abstract: Solar powered aquarium with a water holding vessel suitable for use as a table top aquarium powered by one or more solar cells. The aquarium vessel includes a secondary bottom held up from the main bottom by a side wall. A small cylinder is mounted between the main bottom and the secondary bottom. A downwardly extending skirt houses a DC motor mounted below the main bottom. A ferrous metal plate mounted to the shaft of the DC motor causes a magnetic spinning member located within the small cylinder to rotate. Apertures in the small cylinder and the side wall of the secondary bottom allow water to be drawn into the small cylinder and out the side wall. Gravel located in the bottom of the vessel traps debris as the water is drawn through it. Outwardly attached solar cells provide power for recharging circuit and attached motor.
