Abstract: A method for interworking supplementary call services between different VOIP protocols is provided. The method comprises receiving, during a call between a first end device and a second end device, a first message in a first protocol format for the second end device to transfer the call to a third end device; determining interworking information to interwork the first message to a second message in a second protocol format; generating the second message based on the interworking information, such that the second message initiates the call transfer to the third end device.

Abstract: In one embodiment, interworking procedures between H.323 and SIP ensure that in-band tones and announcements, along with local and remote ringback, are properly played or generated.

Abstract: A collector for fecal discharge is provided comprising a self-expanding resilient collection component, a housing sheath and a transit component. The collection component has an open proximal and distal end and a lumen connecting them. The component comprises interconnected resilient arms circumscribing its contour, wherein adjacent arms are resiliently biased away from each other for exerting outwardly radial pressure for expanding and anchoring the component to rectal walls upon deployment. The housing sheath comprises a flexible and resilient material overlaying at least one of inner or outer contour of collection component without interfering with or blocking its ends or lumen. The transit component provides a conduit for fecal discharge to migrate from collection component to a receptacle and comprises a flexible, tubular sheath having a first open end connected to a second end by a lumen, wherein the first end engages with the proximal end of the collection component.

Abstract: We describe a system embodiment comprising generating a Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) encapsulated packet and including a secure media indicator into the SRTP encapsulated packet. The method further comprises inserting the SRTP encapsulated packet into an SRTP voice stream associated with an active call between a source and a destination endpoint and indicating an end-to-end secure call between the source and destination endpoints responsive to the secure media indicator. And we describe a method embodiment comprising transmitting a request message from a source endpoint to a destination endpoint participating in an active call and setting a secure media flag in the request message at each node in a signaling path associated with the active call. The method further comprises returning a response message from the destination endpoint to the source endpoint responsive to the request and indicating an end-to-end secure call between the two endpoints.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting one or more documents that are duplicate or near-duplicate of a first document are provided. The techniques include obtaining a first document, obtaining one or more additional documents, retrieving a set of one or more document signatures for each document, and detecting one or more documents that are duplicate or near-duplicate of the first document by detecting each of the one or more additional documents that have at least a minimum number of signatures in common with the first document, wherein detecting each of the one or more additional documents that have at least a minimum number of signatures in common with the first document comprises dynamically using at least one of a user-configurable similarity definition and a user-configurable similarity threshold value.

Abstract: In one particular embodiment, the secure media includes information sent using secure real-time transfer protocol (sRTP). Supplementary services may include call transfers, forwards/redirects, call hold with music on hold (MOH), call hold with no MoH, call resume, call park, call pickup, call blast etc. In a call flow, a call request may be received from a first device for a second device. The call request may include at least one set of keys and be ready for establishment of an sRTP call. It is then determined that a supplementary service is needed for the call request. For example, a supplementary service may indicate that a call redirect to a third device is required. The gateway then facilitates a supplementary service call with the third device. This is facilitated without contacting the first device to generate a second key after receiving the initial call request.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to generate a software framework based on semantic modeling and business rules. In one embodiment, a method implemented in a data processing system, includes: receiving input from one or more first users to generate a first ontology describing a software requirement; receiving input from one or more second users to map the first ontology to a second ontology describing software tools; and generating a software framework in the data processing system based on the input received from the one or more second users to map the first ontology to the second ontology.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, apparatus and system for interworking between H.320 or H.324 and SIP. The method comprises receiving a SIP message indicative of capabilities supported by a first endpoint device and deferring responding to the SIP message. The method further comprises receiving from a second endpoint device an H.320 or H.324 message indicative of the capabilities supported by the second endpoint device in response thereto responding to the SIP message thereby to establish a media communication channel between the first and second endpoint devices based on their respective capabilities.

Abstract: In a particular embodiment, a network device receives, from a first device, a first call request for a second device. The network device may then send the first call request to a redirect server, which can determine where to send the call. The network device receives a response from the redirect server indicating an address to redirect the call request to. The network device then determines a redirect ID for the redirect. The network device sends a message to the first device with the redirect ID where the message indicates that a redirection occurred to the third device. The network device then receives a second call request from the first device that includes the redirect ID. The network device determines if the call was part of a previous redirect. If so, the second call request is sent to the address associated with the redirect ID.
