Abstract: There is provided a method that includes (a) receiving a notification of an event concerning a network communication service involving a subscriber, in which the subscriber is linked to a first account having first account terms, and a second account having second account terms, (b) making a decision of whether to handle the network communication service in accordance with the subscriber being linked to the first account or in accordance with the subscriber being linked to the second account, and (c) issuing a communication to a device to facilitate the network communication service, pursuant to the decision. There is also provided a system that performs the method, and a storage medium that contains instructions for controlling a processor to perform the method.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods enable insertion and tensioned deployment of a secondary material prosthetic device into a body cavity or other tissue of a patient, such as for example hernia repair mesh into the abdominopelvic cavity of a patient through the hernia site. The present invention establishes fixation sites for the prosthetic device and tensions it against the body tissue. It may also be used implant fixation devices within the body tissue so that the prosthetic device is tensioned into firm abutting contact with the body tissue. Instrument deployment and fixation struts may be advanced in retrograde fashion in order to reduce needed deployment volume within the patient's body cavity. The prosthetic device advantageously may be flexibly coupled to the instrument via fixation devices such as sutures, so as to increase orientation flexibility.
