  • Patent number: 9178285
    Abstract: A phase shift device includes an input quadrature junction for receiving an input EM signal and extracting a first electromagnetic (EM) signal, a second EM signal, a third EM signal, and a fourth EM signal from the input EM signal. Four waveguide arms are operatively connected to the input quadrature junction for respectively conveying the first, second, third, and fourth EM signals therethrough. At least two of the waveguide arms shift the phase of EM signal conveyed therethrough such that two of the first, second, third, and fourth EM signals are phase shifted with respect to the other two of the first, second, third, and fourth EM signals. An output quadrature junction is operatively connected to the waveguide arms for combining the first, second, third, and fourth EM signals. Thus, polarization adjustment may be achieved through rotation of the phase shift device.

  • Patent number: 9043406
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing user lists are provided. A group of instant messaging addresses used most frequently by a user of an instant messaging client on the communications device is identified. The identified group of instant messaging addresses is displayed visibly within a display in the communications device.

  • Publication number: 20070022124
    Abstract: User interface and policy loading aspects of a policy-based, outsourced, network management system. In one aspect, a user selects policies using a graphical user interface (GUI) with a two paned window having a tree view of the policies in one pane. In another aspect, the policies are (1) created in the GUI format (e.g., XML), (2) sent over a network (e.g., the internet) to a service center in the same format, and (3) are loaded, manipulated and stored in the same format. In another aspect, the initial loading of the policies is done using a bulk loader in a logic layer. In another aspect, the logic layer also includes a configuration checker which handles changes or additions to policies in a finished network management system. Any aspects of the new or changed policy that are inconsistent with the finished system are parsed and stripped out. In another aspect, where the details of a new policy or change aren't specified, a base configuration creator creates a policy with minimal attributes.
