  • System and method for capturing real time telecommunications usage data from mobile devices and comparing that data to life cycle telecommunications expense management (TEM) data
    Patent number: 8588736
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a signal having a real-time usage value associated with operation of a mobile device is received from the mobile device. Information on a service agreement for the mobile device is received. A command is sent to the mobile device when the operation of the mobile device crossed a threshold condition of the service agreement. The command is configured to cause the mobile device to implement an operational change at the mobile device in response to the command.

  • System and Method for Using Lifecycle Telecommunications Expense Management (TEM) Data to Predict the Outcome of Changes to Telecommunications Infrastructure
    Publication number: 20100049587
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes calculating costs associated with migration from a telecommunications infrastructure in a first configuration to the telecommunications infrastructure in a second configuration. The migration is based on a first infrastructure data and a second infrastructure data. The first infrastructure data is associated with the telecommunications infrastructure in the first configuration and the second infrastructure data is associated with the telecommunications infrastructure in the second configuration. A predictive migration model is generated based on the calculated costs, the first infrastructure data, and the second infrastructure data.

  • Multifunctional receptacle
    Patent number: 7503454
    Abstract: A multifunctional receptacle for use on a step ladder includes a base member having a bottom side with a recessed surface to complementary receive a step surface of the ladder in a manner to prevent at least one degree of movement therebetween when the base member is disposed on the step. The receptacle includes at least one side member, preferably opposing side members, extending upward from the bottom side forming a storage compartment. The storage member can include a substantially rectangular storage compartment, and a substantially circular storage compartment. The receptacle can also include a hook for retaining a conventional roller paint tray.
