Patent number: 12112076Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for replication of versions of an object from a source storage to a target storage. A source retention policy indicates at least one source retention requirement to determine when to expire versions of an object at the source storage and a target retention policy indicates at least one target retention requirement to determine when to expire versions of the object at the target storage. The source and target retention requirements for versions of the object are different. The source retention policy is used to expire at least one version of the object at the source storage to satisfy the at least one source retention requirement. A number of the versions of the object maintained at the source storage and target storage differ due to the different source and target retention requirements.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2020Date of Patent: October 8, 2024Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Matthew J. Anglin, David M. Cannon, Colin S. Dawson, Erick C. Kissel, Kristopher A. Larson, Howard N. Martin

Publication number: 20240268818Abstract: In general, devices, systems, and methods for controlling impact direction of surgical impacting tools are provided. In an exemplary implementation, a handpiece of a surgical impacting tool includes at least one actuator configured to be actuated by a user to control a direction of impacting. The surgical impacting tool handpiece, such as a handpiece of an orthopedic impactor, is configured to drive impacting of the surgical implement relative to bone.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2024Publication date: August 15, 2024Inventors: Eric Schmitt, Matthew S. Wallace, Patrick J. Cannon, Jon M. Edwards, Amisiddhi Vilas Bhosale, Thomas Philipson, Connor McLaughlin

Patent number: 9622017Abstract: According to one configuration, a user is able to activate an application on a mobile phone device without the user having to directly pressing an appropriate sequence of keys on the mobile phone device. For example, a user logs onto a web site to provide a phone number of the mobile phone device. Additionally, via input to the web site, the user also requests activation of a particular application on the mobile phone device. An application server receives notification of the request and generates a text-message to the application on the mobile phone device to initiate activation of the application. In response to receiving the text-message, the application on the mobile phone device initiates retrieval of appropriate configuration information associated with the user from the application server.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2015Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLCInventors: Matthew J. Cannon, Howard L. Pfeffer

Patent number: 8706096Abstract: In accordance with one configuration, a network communication manager identifies an expected duration of time to complete playback of the streaming content. Subsequent to receiving a do not disturb command, the network communication manager prevents visual notifications of future phone calls during the estimated duration of time to provide undisturbed playback of the streaming content on the display screen. Accordingly, embodiments herein support a do not disturb function in which a subscriber can prevent display of visual notifications such as phone call alerts (e.g., pop-up text messages) on the display screen during playback of the streaming content. The do not disturb functionality can be disabled in response to any suitable trigger such as that the subscriber has terminated playback of the streaming content, playback of the streaming content completed, etc.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2012Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLCInventors: Matthew J. Cannon, Frank E. Figueroa, David G. Bell

Patent number: 8687625Abstract: A system for transporting public switched network (PSTN) terminated signaling across an Internet protocol (IP) network includes a gateway between the PSTN and the IP network. The gateway receives a telephony signaling message from the PSTN and determines if the telephony signaling message maps to an IP signaling message. If the telephony signaling message does not map to an IP signaling message, the gateway packages the telephony signaling message in a special IP signaling message for transport over the IP network. If the gateway receives a special IP signaling special message, the gateway unpackages the telephony signaling message from the special message for transport over the PSTN. If the gateway receives DTMF signals from the PSTN, the gateway translates the DTMF signals to digits and packages the digits in a special IP signaling message for transport over the IP network. The gateway also packages the DTMF signals in an IP media transport protocol message for transport over the IP network.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2010Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Verizon Business Global LLCInventor: Matthew J.
