Patent number: 7702092Abstract: A method of determining a telephony network node for routing a call is disclosed. The method includes receiving a call request at a service provider node, the call request including a called number to reach a called party. The method further includes sending a combined telephone number mapping (ENUM) and local number portability (LNP) query from the service provider node to a remote ENUM database, the combined ENUM/LNP query including the called number. The method further includes receiving a response to the combined ENUM/LNP query at the service provider node. The response includes one of an internet protocol address that identifies a node of an internet protocol network, a local routing number (LRN) to be used to route the call to a uniquely identified switching node of a circuit-switched network, or a return of the called number to indicate that the called number can be used to route the call to the called party.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2005Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Niral Sheth, Bernard Siu-Man Ku, Jeffrey Paul Johnson

Publication number: 20100091975Abstract: A method of routing a call includes sending a second query when a telephone number mapping (ENUM) database does not identify an internet protocol (IP) address associated with a called number in response to a first query. The second query is directed to a local number portability (LNP) database to determine whether the called number includes a ported number having an associated local routing number (LRN).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2009Publication date: April 15, 2010Applicant: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Niral Sheth, Bernard Siu-Man Ku, Jeffrey Paul Johnson

Patent number: 7646740Abstract: A system and method of providing advertisements to vehicles is disclosed. An apparatus that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a system having at least one wireless communication access point deployed along a freeway, a database for storing one or more media files associated with one or more advertisements, the database storing information concerning the types of media files supported by a number of media systems of a corresponding number of user vehicles, and a server coupled to the database having access to the at least one wireless communication access point. The server can direct the wireless communication access point to transmit one or more advertisements to the portable communication devices according to one or more types of media files determined to be supported by the media systems, and the corresponding user vehicles being proximately located to a freeway exit. Additional embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2006Date of Patent: January 12, 2010Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Wayne Crolley, Jeffrey Paul Johnson

Patent number: 7593396Abstract: A system and method are provided for reviewing and updating a subscriber's telecommunications services using a graphical user interface via multiple data networks. A data message is received at an intelligent peripheral from the graphical user interface via at least one of the data networks. The data message indicates a subscriber's desired update to a selected service. The data message is converted into a protocol compatible with a service control point. The converted data message is identical to a data message that the intelligent peripheral would create if the subscriber had entered the desired update via an interactive voice response system. The converted data message is transmitted to the service control point, which updates the service in accordance with the subscriber's update. Thus, the service is updated substantially contemporaneously with the request. Moreover, the subscriber retains the ability to update and review service data via the interactive voice response.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2005Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: AT&T Labs, Inc.Inventors: Anil Kumar Bhandari, Xiaolian Bi, Jeffrey Lewis Brandt, Christine Mary Hartman, Alexander Lisheng Huang, Jeffrey Paul Johnson, James Thomas Miller, Stephen Mark Mueller, Jeffrey L.

Patent number: 6891940Abstract: A system and method are provided for reviewing and updating a subscriber's telecommunications services, including a Caller ID service, using a graphical user interface via multiple data networks. The method includes presenting service data to the subscriber via the data networks and transmitting a data message from the subscriber to an intelligent peripheral via at least one of the data networks. The data message indicates a subscriber's desired update to a selected telecommunications service. The method also includes converting the data message into a protocol compatible with an integrated service control point. The converted data message is identical to a data message that the intelligent peripheral would create if the subscriber had entered the desired update via an interactive voice response system.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2000Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Assignee: SBC Technology Resources, Inc.Inventors: Anil Kumar Bhandari, Xiaolian Bi, Jeffrey Lewis Brandt, Alexander Lisheng Huang, Jeffrey Paul Johnson, James Thomas Miller, Stephen Mark Mueller, Jeffrey L.

Patent number: 6603252Abstract: A cathode ray tube includes an electron gun directing electrons towards a faceplate having an electrode biased at screen potential. The electron beam is magnetically deflected to scan across the faceplate to impinge upon phosphors thereon to produce light depicting an image or information. A neck electrode near the tube neck is biased at or below screen potential and a second electrode between the neck electrode and the faceplate is biased at or above screen potential. As a result, the electrons are deflected over a greater total angle than is obtained from the magnetic deflection. A third electrode proximate the faceplate is biased at or below screen potential to direct electrons towards the faceplate, thereby to increase the landing angle of the electrons thereon. A metal and ceramic support includes a resistive voltage divider to which ones of the electrodes connect.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2000Date of Patent: August 5, 2003Assignees: Sarnoff Corporation, Orion Electric Company, LTDInventors: Joseph Michael Carpinelli, Dennis John Bechis, Jeffrey Paul Johnson, David Arthur New, George Herbert Needham Riddle

Patent number: 6097140Abstract: Display panels having at least one suspended fibrous cathode containing an electron field emitter are disclosed. The fibrous cathode is supported by a substrate (10) containing two sets of parallel rows of crests and valleys. The first set of parallel crests (11) and valleys (12) provide the valleys along which the fibrous cathode is aligned. The second set of parallel crests (13) and valleys (14) is perpendicular to the first set. The valleys (14) provide the means for suspending the fibrous cathode. The display panels can be produced in large sizes while still maintaining high quality and efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1998Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: E. I. du Pont de Nemours and CompanyInventors: Arthur Miller, Dennis John Bechis, Steven Alan Lipp, Jeffrey Paul Johnson, Daniel Irwin Amey, Jr.
