Abstract: Novel tools and techniques for providing a subscriber with converged voice services, in which calls to one of the subscriber's telephone numbers is routed to some or all of the subscriber's telephone numbers (e.g., sequentially or simultaneously, depending on system configuration and/or subscriber preference). Some implementations employ a VoIP switch to handle call distribution among the subscriber's various phone lines, even if some (or all) of the subscribers telephone lines are not VoIP lines. In such implementations, upon receiving an incoming call directed to one of the subscriber's lines, a service switching point will route the call to a VoIP switch. Instructed by an application server, the VoIP switch will set up call legs (e.g., via the PSTN) to one or more of the subscribers' telephone numbers. Optionally, when one of the call legs is answered, the application server will instruct the VoIP switch to disconnect the other call legs.

Abstract: Methods are provided for managing communications over a communications routing network. A data store is maintained of records of communications links established over the communications routing network between a first endpoint of the communications routing network and multiple second endpoints of the communications routing network distinct from the first endpoint. A frequency analysis is performed of the second endpoints to identify a frequency of establishing a communications link between the first endpoint and each of the second endpoints. A list is generated of a subset of the second endpoints in accordance with a result of the frequency analysis.

Abstract: A high speed transmission system transfers data streams over a plurality of data links. Each data link may carry a number of bit streams. A clock signal is not transmitted over the optical link. Instead, an indication of the appropriate clock signal frequency and phase is embedded in the transmitted data. At the receiving end, a clock signal of an appropriate frequency and phase is generated. The new clock signal is used to sample and reconstruct the original data streams.

Abstract: A system and method for improving the tolerability of metal distorters within the electromagnetic field of an electromagnetic tracking system through the use of transmission frequency optimization techniques and/or solution subset measurements.

Abstract: A high speed transmission system transfers data streams over a plurality of data links. Each data link may carry a number of bit streams. On the transmitting end, multiplexers serialize the bit streams, which are then transmitted to the receiving end. A clock signal is not transmitted over the optical link. Instead, an indication of the appropriate clock signal frequency and phase is embedded in the transmitted data. At the receiving end, a clock recovery circuit generates a clock signal of an appropriate frequency and phase based on the embedded indication. The new clock signal is used to sample and reconstruct the original data streams.
