Abstract: The present invention teaches that a tightly woven, and strong layer of fiberglass may be coated or impregnated with sodium silicate in order to produce a strong and fire resistant jamb/frame. The present invention further teaches that a fire doorjamb core may be mass produced from fire resistant layers and the frame core rated for fire safety by a rating agency, thus allowing builders and door manufacturers to produce building structures and doors using that core without individually certifying each model of door or structure. The present invention further teaches a structure/method of mounting for door frames which closely parallels mounting of normal door frames, without special brackets or plates.

Abstract: The present invention teaches that a tightly woven, and strong sheet of fiberglass may be saturated or impregnated with sodium silicate in order to produce a strong and fire resistant sheet. A sheet of silica fabric may be adhered to the sheet of fiberglass in order to provide additional protection from combustion. The present invention further teaches that a fire door core may be mass produced from fire resistant sheets, silica sheets, and that the core may be rated for fire safety by a rating agency, thus allowing door manufacturers to produce doors using that core without individually certifying each model of door. The impregnation may occur by spraying, by rolling or by other means, and the drying process of the sodium silicate occurs after it has been saturated into the fiberglass sheet.

Abstract: A conferencing system includes plurality of users each of which is interconnected with a conferencing server. The users each can simultaneously view the same video stream provided by the conferencing server. The users may simultaneously textually communicating among themselves while viewing the video stream to create a textual communication. The conferencing server associating at least two portions of the textual communication and the video stream with one another.

Abstract: A conferencing system includes a plurality of users each of which is interconnected with a conferencing server that permits videoconferencing among the plurality of users. The conferencing server permits each of the plurality of users to access a file of the conferencing server using an authentication process. The conferencing server permits another user to access the file of the conferencing server without using the authentication process. Another user accessing the file is in response to a request by one of the plurality of users.

Abstract: A conferencing system that synchronizes an audio file from audio conferencing bridge with a video file from the conferencing system.

Abstract: A chat system provided in a computer network including a plurality of client workstations and a server computer.

Abstract: A conferencing system with at least one user and a conferencing server where the firewalls of the user are selected to use port 80.

Abstract: A messaging program includes a window where a plurality of contacts are displayed within the window. The plurality of contacts are arranged as a plurality of different groups within the window. A plurality of contacts within each of the different groups is provided with the same status for each respective group, wherein the status provided for two different groups are different.

Abstract: A system that facilitates the sharing of a computer desktop among a plurality of users.

Abstract: A chat system.

Abstract: The present invention teaches that a tightly woven, and strong panel of fiberglass may be impregnated with sodium silicate in order to produce a strong and fire resistant panel. The impregnation may occur by spraying, by rolling or by other means, and the drying process of the sodium silicate occurs after it has been impregnated into the fiberglass panel. The present invention further teaches that a fire door core may be mass produced from fire resistant panels and the core rated for fire safety by a rating agency, thus allowing door manufacturers to produce doors using that core without individually certifying each model of door. The present invention further teaches a method of manufacture of the a sodium silicate building panel, comprising the steps of producing a tightly woven fiberglass panel, impregnating it with sodium silicate, and allowing it to dry.

Abstract: By associating with a data file one or more descriptors that describe the data or specify access to the file, the data file management system facilitates locating and providing access to data files stored in a conferencing system.

Abstract: Secure access for a user of a messaging system is provided by requiring association of the user with an administrator regulating the user's use of the messaging system and by enabling communication with other users only in the event that a relationship of trust has been established between the other user and the administrator.

Abstract: A conferencing system includes a moderator to enable audio transmission by individual participants to improve the effectiveness of communication between remotely located conferees.

Abstract: A Web-based audio-only or audio/video conferencing system designed for use by individual participants in a conference. In one embodiment one participant in the system is designated the ‘moderator’. The moderator accepts requests to transmit made by other conference participants and is responsible for granting and revoking requests. All conference participants receive streams transmitted by other conference participants (passive participation). Once permission to transmit is granted to a participant, the participant may choose to transmit at his or her discretion (active participation). The moderator always has the ability to transmit at his or her own discretion.
