Abstract: A computer system displays a first object that includes at least a first portion of the first object and a second portion of the first object and detects a first gaze input that meets first criteria, wherein the first criteria require that the first gaze input is directed to the first portion of the first object in order for the first criteria to be met. In response, the computer system displays a first control element that corresponds to a first operation associated with the first object, wherein the first control element was not displayed prior to detecting that the first gaze input met the first criteria, and detects a first user input directed to the first control element. In response to detecting the first user input directed to the first control element, the computer system performs the first operation with respect to the first object.

The method includes receiving a first message indicating an action associated with a first user in a first OTT service platform. The method also includes generating, based on the first message, a second message for performing a related action in a second OTT service platform. The method further includes communicating the second message to the second OTT service platform.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for managing multiple personas within end user applications are disclosed. According to one method, a first profile definition defining a first persona through which a user accesses at least one social networking, OTT, or other hosted service and at least one trigger condition associated with the activation of the first persona is accessed. The method further includes determining a context for the user. The method further includes determining whether the context for the user satisfies the at least one trigger condition. In response to determining that the context satisfies the at least one trigger condition, the first persona is activated.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing legacy devices access to a session initiation protocol (SIP) based network are disclosed. One exemplary system comprises a session initiation protocol (SIP) based access proxy element communicatively coupled to a SIP based network that includes a registration engine configured to create a mapped entry in a database that associates an assigned SIP registration identifier to an identifier corresponding to a legacy endpoint device and configured to register the legacy endpoint device into the SIP based network using the assigned SIP registration identifier. The SIP based access proxy element further includes a session management module configured to establish a communications session involving the registered legacy endpoint device by interworking between a legacy control protocol and a SIP based call control protocol using the mapped entry in the database.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing telecommunication services using proximity-based technologies are described. In some embodiments, a method may include detecting, by a first communication device (e.g., a laptop computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a cellular phone, a smartphone, etc.), a proximity device (e.g., a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tag, a Near Field Communications (NFC) tag, etc.) coupled to or integrated within a second communication device. The method may also include triggering an operation configured to manage a telecommunication service based, at least in part, upon the detection of the proximity device. In some implementations, the operation may be configured to reduce a number of manual operations that would otherwise be involved in managing the telecommunication service. For instance, in a non-limiting example, the operation may cause a routing of a communication directed at the first communication device to the second communication device.

Abstract: A submarine escape suit is made longitudinally adjustable by elastic adjustment members (20a, 20b) that extend along the sides of the suit between the ankle region and the arms of the suit. This provides a long adjustment length which allows a wide range of wearer heights to be accommodated. The members (20a, 20b) are encased in non-snag covers (29). A central adjustment strap (21) is also provided and is also partially encased in a non-snag cover (35).

Abstract: The submarine escape suit has a hood (14) covering the head of a wearer during ascent from a submarine. In order to allow the wearer to expose his/her face, the hood (14) is provided with a portion (21) overlying the face of a wearer that is releasable from the remainder of the hood (14). The releasable portion (21) may be re-attachable.

Abstract: A communications system that supports multimedia components is easily adapted to existing network elements. Voice components arriving at or coming from a user having multimedia capabilities are referred from a telephony server serving the user to a multimedia server. A determination is made as to whether the other party supports multimedia capabilities. If that determination is negative, the component is passed back to the telephony server with an indication that the session is coming from the multimedia server to avoid an infinite loop. If the determination is positive, a parallel multimedia component is established between the parties while the multimedia server remains aware of the bearer path.

Abstract: A transit domain is a domain in which trusted communications are generally required, and a foreign domain is one in which any number entities are associated. The users within a foreign domain will have a trusted relationship with their foreign domain. In turn, the foreign domain will establish a trusted relationship with the transit domain. The users in the foreign domains need not have a direct relationship with the transit domains. The foreign domains are connected by the transit domains, and session messages used to establish and control communication sessions between entities must pass through the transit domains to travel from one foreign domain to another. These session messages intended for or originating from a foreign domain are processed by edge control nodes in the transit domain, based on a service policy, which has been established for the foreign domain associated with the session message.
