Patent number: 8270421Abstract: The present invention describes a system and method for communicating voice and data over a packet-switched network that is adapted to coexist and communicate with a legacy PSTN. The system permits packet switching of voice calls and data calls through a data network from and to any of a LEC, a customer facility or a direct IP connection on the data network. The system includes soft switch sites, gateway sites, a data network, a provisioning component, a network event component and a network management component. The system interfaces with customer facilities (e.g., a PBX), carrier facilities (e.g., a LEC) and legacy signaling networks (e.g., SS7) to handle calls between any combination of on-network and off-network callers.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2011Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Isaac K.

Publication number: 20110034812Abstract: Systems and methods include identifying a first portion and a second portion of a pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) signal during a cardiac cycle. A first timing interval between the first portion and the second portion is obtained and data related to the first timing interval is trended to provide a chronic physiological prognostic indicator. In an embodiment, a second timing interval is obtained from a third portion and a fourth portion of the PAP signal. Then, a function of the first and second timing intervals is trended to provide the chronic physiological prognostic indicator. In one instance, a ratio of the first interval to the second interval is calculated to provide an estimated right ventricle ejection fraction (RVEF) and the RVEF is trended.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2010Publication date: February 10, 2011Inventors: Abhilash Patangay, Ramesh Wariar, Jon Peterson

Patent number: 7564840Abstract: The present invention describes a system and method for communicating voice and data over a packet-switched network that is adapted to coexist and communicate with a legacy PSTN. The system includes soft switch sites, gateway sites, a data network, a provisioning component, a network event component and a network management component. The soft switch sites manage the gateway sites to request the set-up and tear-down of calls. The gateway sites originate and terminate calls between calling parties and called parties through the data network. The provisioning and network event component collects call events recorded at the soft switch sites. The network management component includes a network operations center (NOC) for centralized network management.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2003Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Isaac K.

Publication number: 20080231604Abstract: In an embodiment, a signature area and virtual keypad, among other display elements, are displayed in more than one location on a touch screen display. As a result, wear and tear may be strategically distributed evenly across the touch screen, instead of isolated to fixed locations, thus increasing the touch screen's useful lifetime. Display degradation is detected in a novel embodiment from physical parameters that are conventionally used for the touch screen's touch sensitivity. By detecting the display degradation according to display location, display elements can be strategically located to enhance the life of the touch screen.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2007Publication date: September 25, 2008Applicant: CYPRESS SEMICONDUCTOR CORP.Inventor: Jon Peterson
