  • Patent number: 11255652
    Abstract: Apparatus can comprise a probe movable in a direction along a probe axis that intersects a determination axis and a clamping pin can be movable along a clamping pin axis that intersects a product support area of a base. In some embodiments, methods of determining a height of an edge portion of a product can comprise aligning the edge portion of the product along a determination axis and clamping the product to a base at a clamping location of the product positioned over a product support area. Methods can further comprise extending a probe to contact a location of the edge portion of the product while the product is clamped to the base. Methods can further comprise determining a height of the edge portion of the product based on the position of the probe contacting the edge portion of the product.

  • Patent number: 8582741
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for unifying rosters is provided. A client receives an escalation request associated with a first roster and responds to the escalation request. The client subscribes to the first roster as a participant in response to accepting the escalation request or subscribes to the first roster as an observer in response to denying the escalation request. The client identifies a second roster within the first roster that the client is not subscribed to and subscribes to the first roster as an observer. The client updates an entry associated with the client in the second roster to indicate that the client is subscribed to the first roster as one of a participant or an observer. The client additionally updates an entry associated with the client in the first roster to indicate that the client is subscribed to the second roster as an observer.

  • Patent number: 7995559
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a method is provided for redirecting a session established between two endpoints. In such an embodiment, the method comprises receiving a SIP request to redirect the session to a third endpoint; dissociating the two endpoints; suspending a media session between the endpoints; connecting a signaling session between one endpoint and a third endpoint; and connecting the media session. In an alternative embodiment, a method is provided for referring a first endpoint to a second endpoint outside of an established dialog. In such an embodiment, the method comprises receiving a SIP REFER request specifying a uniform resource indicator associated with the second endpoint as a target; identifying a protocol associated with each endpoint; initiating a session with the first endpoint using an appropriate protocol; receiving media control information from the first endpoint; and connecting the session to the second endpoint using an appropriate protocol.
