COMPUTING SYSTEM AND COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR FACILITATING THE CHOICE OF AN ACADEMIC OFFERING
Publication number: 20140019375Abstract: A computing system and computer-implemented method may be used by prospective students and their influencers to choose an academic offering, such as a college major. The computing system enables its user to query an academic institution's database using exact match terms or intelligent-associated keywords. In response to the query, the computing system may identify an academic offering that most closely matches the search query. In addition, or in the alternative, the computing system may further identify alternative academic offerings. The system and method may further be utilized by academic institutions to tailor academic offerings to prospective students. The collected data may be shared among multiple participating academic institutions, and in some embodiments reports of user data relevant to each academic institution are generated for that institution's consideration and use.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2013Publication date: January 16, 2014Inventors: Richard H. Bailey, Sam L. Waterson -
Patent number: 7639697Abstract: Various aspects of apparatuses and methods for enabling a subscriber premise network interface device (NID) to facilitate communication services including digitally derived voice services to be facilitated between a central office and a subscriber premise are disclosed herein. In accordance with one embodiment of the disclosures herein, such a method includes facilitating a downstream DSL voice channel transmission process at a subscriber premise Network Interface Device (NID) and facilitating an upstream DSL voice channel transmission process at the subscriber premise NID. The downstream DSL voice channel transmission process facilitates converting a voice component of a downstream DSL data stream to a corresponding downstream analog voice signal. The upstream DSL voice channel transmission process facilitates converting an upstream analog voice signal to an upstream voice component of an upstream DSL data stream.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2006Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Richard M. Czerwiec, Richard H. Bailey, Richard R. Rzonca, Gus C. Sanders, Jr., Randall B. Sharpe, Joseph E. Sutherland

Patent number: 7457405Abstract: An ADSL POTS splitter includes low pass filter. The low pass filter includes a first inductor portion in communication with the line interface and a second inductor portion isolated from the line interface via an isolation capacitor. In one embodiment, the first inductor portion is characterized for non-saturation in conventional operating ranges. The first non-isolated inductor portion has a respective DC saturation current and the isolated inductor portion has a respective DC saturation current. The DC saturation current of the first non-isolated inductor portion is substantially greater than the DC saturation current of the isolated inductor portion for achieving higher inductance in the isolated inductor portion.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2005Date of Patent: November 25, 2008Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventor: Richard H. Bailey

Patent number: 7042900Abstract: A shelf or housing is connected to a narrowband network and to a broadband network for serving a plurality of subscribers includes two sections, one for lowpass filters and another for line and network termination cards. The line termination and network termination equipment are interconnected by a bus internal to the shelf for providing subscriber access. The shelf or housing can be used as a hub for connecting to a remote shelf or housing that includes the line termination equipment for connection to subscribers. Although the internal bus of the shelf or housing is shown in a non-redundant embodiment, an increased level of equipment protection can be provided by placing one half of a redundant equipment pair in one shelf or housing and the other half in the other shelf or housing and sharing network termination equipment between such shelves or housings.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2001Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: AlcatelInventors: Richard M.
