  • Patent number: 8489101
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus can be used to provide call routing in converged networks. In various examples, a converged call routing system can be used determine routing information associated with an incoming connection request. Routing information can be based upon one or more of a current location of a communications device or a profile associated with a communications device.

  • Patent number: 8244251
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus can be used to provide concurrent call handover in converged networks. In various examples, a concurrent call handover can operate to transfer multiple calls between domains when a mobile device has two open call instances. In some implementations, multiple public service identifiers can be assigned for the call instances.

  • Publication number: 20040073664
    Abstract: Server software running on a cable modem uses data samples being collected in a register by storing the samples into a buffer until the buffer is full of samples. Then, the server causes the stored samples to be combined and placed into an IP packet. The packet is sent in response to a request by personnel at a location remote from the cable modem. The packet is received at the remote location, and the data contained therein is displayed for use by the personnel in diagnosing a potential problem in the IP network. The display may be a constellation plot.

  • Patent number: 6496548
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of the present invention allows the digitally decoding of asynchronous communication signals and includes a sampling and storing circuit for sampling a digitally converted asynchronous communication signal and storing sampled signal values corresponding to negative edge signal values, positive edge signal values, and central signal values. A derivative calculating circuit is connected to the sampling of storing circuit for receiving at least negative edge signal values and positive edge signal values and calculating derivatives. A comparator circuit receives the calculated derivatives and compares the derivatives with the threshold based on the calculated negative derivative and produces negative output and positive output values used for determining a decoded output signal.
