  • Publication number: 20250039229
    Abstract: A system and method for accelerating a threat mitigation of malicious cybersecurity activity includes: identifying, via one or more processors, a cybersecurity event associated with a third-party application or a third-party service of a subscriber; generating, via the one or more processors, a service-proposed remediation action for the cybersecurity event based on the identifying of the cybersecurity event; automatically assessing, via the one or more processors, the service-proposed remediation action against automated remediation criteria of the subscriber based on the generation of the service-proposed remediation action; automatically constructing, via the one or more processors, a remediation action application programming interface (API) request for the service-proposed remediation action based on the service-proposed remediation action satisfying the automated remediation criteria of the subscriber; and automatically executing, via the one or more processors, the remediation action API request to rem

  • Publication number: 20150002372
    Abstract: Current approaches to paperless books use single screen laptop computers or electronic paper display (EPD)-based book readers. Laptop computers consume too much power and cannot be used for extended periods of time, such as an entire school day, without recharging its battery. EPD devices are limited in functionality due to their slow refresh rate and grey-scale only images. An embodiment of the present invention integrates bi-stable display technology and refresh display technology into a single device and manages the use of these technologies to achieve power savings while providing a rich set of display functionalities to support user interaction with content in a synergistic manner. The power savings functionality enables the device to have a battery operating life between charges of many hours of operation, such as eight hours or more, while the display functionality enables users to access, display, and interact with content in ways users have become accustomed and in ways not before possible.

  • Publication number: 20090263139
    Abstract: An Optical Network Terminal (ONT) has a fixed number of voice ports. A system employing an example embodiment of the invention increases the number of voice ports without changing hardware in the ONT by employing an Analog Terminal Adaptor (ATA) expander and configuring the ATA expander through use of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and other network resources already available in a network with which the ONT is associated. The ATA expander is configured to be compatible with the ONT and, thus the ONT can increase voice services without hardware changes to support growing demands by customers for access to voice services via increasing number of Customer Premises Equipment (CPE).

  • Publication number: 20080253771
    Abstract: A method and system allowing a network operator to change services on a large group of Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) at one time through the use of profiles. At least one profile is configured, and at least one of the profiles is associated with at least one Optical Network Terminal (ONT) having a number of ports. A configuration for the ONTs is generated based on the profiles and, upon a request by an ONT, the configuration is forwarded to the requesting ONT. The method and system may include a graphical user interface (GUI) for entering information used in configuring the profiles, and may assign the profiles to multiple ONTs. Further, the GUI may automatically gather and provide statistics relating to the ONTs to the network operator. Additionally, in a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) network, the method and system may communicate with the ONTs without using a SIP protocol stack.
