Abstract: The present invention relates to method of inhibition of cellular endocytosis by treating the cells with compound of formula-1 Diphenylthio urea and Diphenylurea derivatives. Said invention also discloses method of treatment of infectious diseases, neurological disease, cancer, kidney disease in a subject in need thereof by administering therapeutically effective concentration of compounds of Formula-1, Diphenylthio urea and Diphenylurea derivatives which are effective inhibitors of cellular endocytosis. Said invention also discloses compounds of Formula-1, Diphenylthio urea and Diphenylurea derivatives and pharmaceutical composition comprising compounds of Formula-1, Diphenylthio urea and Diphenylurea derivatives along with suitable excipients.

Abstract: This disclosure details the implementation of methods, systems and computer program products for enhanced call screening (hereinafter, “ECS”). ECS systems implement a live call screening application whereby users may hear voicemail messages in real time as they are being recorded, decide whether or not they wish to talk to the caller leaving the message, and engage the caller in two-way communications by indicating interest in doing so.

Abstract: An approach is provided for controlling one or more set-top boxes. Communications is established among a plurality of set-top boxes. One of the set-top boxes is designated as a master set-top box that is configured to control one or more of remaining ones of the set-top boxes. A control message is generated to configure the remaining ones of the set-top boxes as child set-top boxes.

Abstract: An approach for adjusting the consumption of utility services based on determined usage trends includes collecting utility data, at a customer premise equipment, associated with consumption of a utility service at a customer premise, forwarding the collected utility data from the customer premise equipment to a service provider network to determine a usage trend in the consumption of the utility service, and adjusting the consumption of the utility service based on the determined usage trend and a user specified usage criterion.

Abstract: A method for transporting and aligning data across a set of serial data streams. The method includes creating a predetermined number of data streams from a first data stream. The first data stream has a first predetermined bit width and each data stream of the predetermined number of data streams has a second predetermined bit width smaller than the first predetermined bit width. In addition, the method includes inserting an alignment pattern in each of the predetermined number of smaller data streams. The predetermined number of smaller data streams are combinable into a data stream having the first predetermined bit width based on the alignment pattern. The method also includes preparing the predetermined number of smaller data streams for transmission. An apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed.
