  • Patent number: 8532700
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for initiating a call are disclosed. For example, the method receives via a tri-mode mobile endpoint device a request for initiating a call and a selection of an access mode from a user, wherein the tri-mode mobile endpoint device is capable of operating in a cellular mode, a Wi-Fi mode, and a wire-based mode for initiating the call. The method then provides the call using the selection of the access mode.

  • Patent number: 8474885
    Abstract: A fire door lock structure includes a stopper disposed at a door frame and a latch assembly disposed at a fire door, wherein the latch assembly comprises a lock base, a latch unit, a blocking member, a pair of male and female means and a linking set. The latch unit includes a latch bolt. The latch unit and the blocking member are swingably disposed at an accommodating slot of the lock base. The blocking member is fastened at the stopper by the pair of male and female means, wherein the male means comprises a fastener formed at the blocking member. In the locked state, the fastener of the male means can be fastened at the stopper to prevent the stopper from being unable to block the latch bolt caused by a deformed fire door or deformed door frame under a fire condition.

  • Patent number: 8396445
    Abstract: A system and method that facilitates processing and/or routing of emergency call in an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) for VoIP (Voice over IP) subscribers is provided. Specifically, an E911 profile is generated, for example, by an application server, for each VoIP subscriber based in part on current location information associated with the subscriber, such as, the subscriber's IP address. The E911 profile is pushed to the HSS (Home Subscriber Server) of the IMS. The E911 profile can then be stored in the HSS and can be queried by an E-CSCF (Emergency Call Session Control Function) during emergency call processing. Moreover, when an emergency call is received from the subscriber, the E-CSCF can retrieve the E911 profile associated with the subscriber from the HSS and route the call to an appropriate PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) based on an analysis of the information in the E911 profile.

  • Publication number: 20130050017
    Abstract: A side lobe suppression method for an SAR image based on the deformation of a spatial spectral support area is provided. Using the relationship between the spatial spectral support area distribution of an SAR system and an impulse response, the trend of a side lobe in the impulse response is changed by deforming the spatial spectral support area; two SAR images with different side lobe trends are obtained by calculation; the difference information of the side lobe trends between the two SAR images is finally utilized to realize the mutual separation of a target main lobe and the side lobe, thus realizing effective side lobe suppression. The method has an obvious effect on side lobe suppression without losing image resolution, at the same time, can be realized simply, has less calculation amount, is not sensitive to noise, is also very convenient to implement, and can be directly used for processing an original SAR image.

  • Patent number: 8369313
    Abstract: A method for providing multimedia services to subscriber user equipment (UE) within an IP multimedia subsystem network (IMS) may include configuring the IMS to enable a single UE to fork register and cooperate with multiple serving-call session control functions (S-CSCFs). After obtaining IP connectivity, the single UE signals to register with the IMS and the IMS determines whether the UE is configured to fork register with multiple S-CSCFs. If the UE is configured, the IMS determines which S-CSCFs are eligible for the UE registration and fork registers the UE to multiple S-CSCFs of the eligible S-CSCFs. Consequently, incoming and outgoing calls to/from the UE are routed by the IMS to any of the multiple registered S-CSCFs.

  • Patent number: 8326312
    Abstract: A method for determining an amount of time required to download a data file to a wireless device includes receiving information indicating a first amount of wireless bandwidth allocated for the download of the data file, calculating a first length of time required to download the data file to the wireless device based on the first amount of wireless bandwidth allocated, and comparing the first length of time required to a predetermined amount of time. If the first length of time required is less than the predetermined amount of time, the download begins. If the first length of time required is more than the predetermined amount of time, information indicating the first length of time required is sent to the wireless device, a start download signal is received from the wireless device, and download of the data file to the wireless device begins in response to the start download signal.

  • Publication number: 20120285342
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a process for preparing a printing form from a curable composition that includes an bisphenol-based epoxy resin; an amine curing agent selected from primary amines and secondary amines, the agent having an amine equivalent weight of less than or equal to 200 g/equivalent; and, a multi-epoxy reactive diluent. The process includes applying the curable composition to a supporting substrate to form a layer, curing the layer at one or more temperatures in a temperature range, and engraving to form at least one cell in the cured layer. The process prepares printing forms, particularly gravure printing forms, having a cured resin composition layer that is engravable, resistant to solvent inks and to mechanical wear, and capable of printing gravure-quality images.

  • Publication number: 20120248016
    Abstract: A fluid handling and cleaning circulation system includes a storage device storing circulation liquid, a circulating pipeline to circulate the circulation liquid, a filter device to filter the circulation liquid, and a purification separator to remove impurities from and to divide the circulation liquid into a recyclable flow body and an excitation flow body. The purification separator has a first outlet for outletting the excitation flow body, a second outlet for outletting the recyclable flow body to the filter device, and an inlet for inletting the circulation liquid. A nano excitation device is disposed downstream of the first outlet for exciting and nanolizing the excitation flow body. A flow control device pressurizes and accelerates the circulation liquid so that the circulation liquid flows at predetermined velocity and pressure from the storage device, through the filter device, the purification separator and the nano excitation device, and back to the storage device.
