Abstract: A mail server collects messages from a number of user accounts and presents them to the user from a single location. Forwarded messages are automatically reformatted for the receiving device, while a copy of the original message is retained. Messages may be reformatted to include the phone number of the message sender. The reformatted message can then present the user with an option to return the message via a phone call. The reformatted message can include more than one phone number, in which case the sender's phone numbers can be prioritized for presentation to the user. The reformatted message can also present the user with an option to review notes or other contact-specific information prior to responding to the message.

Abstract: A server includes a mail interface that can communicate messages using various formats and protocols to track down recipients of important messages. An automated dispatcher maintains dispatching rules that establish preferences for message routing. The dispatching rules distinguish between email, mobile-phone, and pager addresses and communication protocols and can be set to try different addresses and protocols to get a message to one or more recipients. Forwarded messages can be reformatted for the receiving device, while a copy of the original message is retained. Messages may be reformatted to include the phone number of the message sender. The reformatted message can then present the user with an option to return the message via a phone call. The reformatted message can include more than one phone number, in which case the sender's phone numbers can be prioritized for presentation to the user.

Abstract: A communication server collects messages from a number of user accounts and presents them to the user from a single location. The user can set the mail server to block unwanted messages and to forward others to various receiving devices, including mobile telephones and pagers. Forwarded messages are automatically reformatted for the receiving device, while a copy of the original message is retained. The retained copy can be viewed later if the user is interested in message content that was not available to the wireless device. The user can also use the wireless device to forward the original message to another receiving device. In the case of forwarding, the saved original message and not the reformatted message is sent to the forwarding address. Replies to messages directed to the user from different message sources identify the user by message source to allow the user to maintain separate email identities.

Some embodiments include an email agent that automatically pushes messages from intranet clients to the mail server through a firewall, thereby enabling the mail server to consolidate messages from intranet and Internet sources.

Abstract: A method establishes page links between pages on the Internet. Individual sites (collections of pages) include dedicated links pages that consolidate links to other sites. The links page associated with a given site (the first site) includes an "add link" button that, when selected, allows an owner of a second site to add a link to the links page. The new link can be used to establish a link from the links page to the second site. To ensure reciprocity, the method also includes prompting the owner of the second site for a link back to a page of the first site and later checking the second site for the link back.

Abstract: A circuit for detecting erroneous logic outputs due to metastable behavior in multistable devices (i.e. flip flops) includes a digitally programmable delay unit integrally formed on a common substrate with the multistable devices. Strong correlations between the operating characteristics of the programmable delay unit and the multistable devices may be established during tests for different temperatures, power supply settings and fabrication process variations. Such integration and the digital nature of the programmable delay unit enables repeatable test results and strengthens confidence in predictions that are derived from tests conducted to determine the mean time between failure that is to be expected from the multistable devices. In one embodiment, metastable devices of different design are integrally formed on the common substrate so that comparisons can be made among the metastable behaviors of the different designs.
