Patent number: 8717876Abstract: A packet-based multimedia service is provided to a terminal in a network. A packet signaling connection is established between the terminal and the network. Signaling information for the multimedia service is transferred via the packet signaling connection using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) or a similar protocol. A circuit bearer connection is also established with the terminal. Data for the multimedia service is transferred via the circuit bearer connection. This allows the data to be carried across networks which do not support the required QoS functionality for the packet-based service, or which cannot efficiently carry packet-based data. The circuit bearer connection can be established by a network entity or by the terminal. The circuit bearer can be interworked to a packet-switched bearer at some point in the network, such as at a gateway, so as to provide a remote party with the appearance that a fully packet-switched connection is being used.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2012Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Mark Watson, Richard Bodin, Michael Leeder

Publication number: 20100260172Abstract: A method for providing a packet-based multimedia service to a mobile device in a network. The method includes initiating a multimedia session for the mobile device by establishing a packet connection between the mobile device and the network and establishing a circuit bearer connection between the mobile device and the network. The method further includes transferring information of a first type for the multimedia session via the packet connection. Additionally, the method includes transferring information of a second type for the multimedia session via the circuit bearer connection.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2010Publication date: October 14, 2010Applicant: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Richard Bodin, Michael Leeder

Patent number: 7746849Abstract: Provided is a method and system for providing a packet-based multimedia service to a mobile device in a network. The service is defined by a telecommunications standard, such as the 3GPP IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) standard, and the network does not support packet quality of service (QoS) functionality as required by the standard. A communications session embodying the method may be initiated by the mobile device or by the network. The method begins by establishing simultaneous packet signaling and circuit bearer connections with the mobile device. Signaling information for the multimedia service may then be transferred via the packet signaling connection using a session initiation protocol (SIP) or similar protocol. Data for the multimedia service may be transferred via the circuit bearer connection.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2003Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Nortel Networds LimitedInventors: Richard Bodin, Michael Leeder

Publication number: 20050163585Abstract: The installation tool for a mushrooming expandable anchor has a hollow cylindrical sleeve with an inside diameter, the top having slots for engaging the base of the mushrooming component and a means for engaging and turning a threaded component, which compresses the mushrooming component. The means for turning the threaded component can be a socket, which rotates inside of the sleeve and engages a hex head at the base of the threaded component or alternatively the means for turning the threaded component can be a threaded rod for threading into the base of the threaded component until it reaches the end of the threads in the base. Another means of turning the threaded component is a screwdriver engaging a slot in the treaded component. All of the means for turning the treaded component may be by a powered drill with a connective adapter.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2005Publication date: July 28, 2005Applicant: ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC.Inventors: Richard Bodin, Norbert Kolodziej
