  • Publication number: 20140149163
    Abstract: A method that automatically links a Device Forum (DF) and a Quality Center (QC) is presented. In particular, data representative of a support issue provided through an interactive support channel of a mobile communications network provider is received at a DF server. A DF support case is established, via a DF web service running on the DF server, based on the support issue. A portal is displayed to facilitate management of a plurality of DF support cases including the DF support case. Upon determining that the DF support case has been viewed more than the threshold number of times, a message that instructs a Quality Center (QC) server to handle the support issue included in the DF support case is automatically transmitted to the QC server.

  • Patent number: 8659657
    Abstract: A system, method, and program product is provided that configures video handlers pertaining to a dependent individual. Configuring includes setting alert thresholds. Visual locations are configured. Visual images that pertain to caregivers of the dependent individual are configured. Video streams are received from video sources. Video streams are compared to configured locations to classify the dependent individual's location. Video stream is analyzed to determine whether the dependent individual is alone or with others. If with others, a list of known persons is determined by comparing the video streams with the configured visual images. The configured video handlers are initiated based on the inputs of the location and the people present with the dependent individual. Video handlers trigger alerts when thresholds are reached. Alerts include performing actions to protect the dependent individual from harm.

  • Patent number: 8645182
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for integrating a calendar and task scheduler to enable automatic scheduling of meetings and assignment of tasks based on priority. With the illustrative embodiments, a task in a user's calendaring system may be split into multiple time blocks, and each time block for the task may then be scheduled around meetings in a user's calendar. Tasks that are scheduled in the user's calendar may also be automatically rescheduled when meetings within the user's calendar change. Tasks may be scheduled over lower priority meetings in the user's calendar as needed in order to meet the due dates assigned to the tasks. The illustrative embodiments also allow for automatically adjusting meeting or task priorities based on policies, and identifying classes of activities that may be performed concurrently.

  • Publication number: 20140011662
    Abstract: Methods for producing substantially single phase yttrium phosphate which exhibits the xenotime crystal structure are disclosed. The methods can be practiced without the use of high temperatures (e.g., the methods can be practiced at temperatures less than 1000° C.). The resulting yttrium phosphate can be in the form of particles which comprise interwoven strands of crystals of yttrium phosphate and/or nanoparticles prepared from such particles.
