  • Patent number: 11457102
    Abstract: Fault-tolerant signaling in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network architecture is disclosed. A method can comprise initiating a primary signaling path to a signaling server device; in response to the initiating, establishing an alternate signaling path to a web application server device, wherein a call session is established over the primary signaling path; monitoring the primary signaling path for a session failure; and in response to the session failure, switching the call session from using the primary signaling path to using the alternate signaling path.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11445422
    Abstract: In one example, a method includes monitoring conditions in a telecommunication service provider network, selecting a first path by which to connect a communication session between a first endpoint and a second endpoint, wherein the first path is a path through the network that is expected to satisfy a predefined level of performance for the communication session based on the conditions, connecting the first endpoint and the second endpoint via the first path, detecting a change in the conditions that results in the first path failing to satisfy the predefined level of performance, selecting a second path by which to connect the communication session, wherein the second path is a path through the network that is expected to satisfy the predefined level of performance for the communication session based on the conditions as changed, and initiating a handoff of the communication session from the first path to the second path.

  • Patent number: 10728500
    Abstract: The system may provide automatic real-time filtering and information object selection, which may occur at the presentation layer. Presentations may be tailored on a per user basis. Users with different security levels can participate in a video conference call at the same time and only view what their security clearance allows.

  • Publication number: 20200171310
    Abstract: The vagus nerve and branches of the vagus nerve are stimulated below the laryngeal nerve branch bifurcation in order to induce desired parasympathetic responses, such as decreased heart rate, without also triggering any adverse sympathetic responses. Stimulating surfaces of an open field bipolar electrode are positioned on or inserted through the pleural membrane overlying the vagus nerve at a location having substantially no cardiac sympathetic fibers adjacent to the vagus nerve. The open field bipolar electrodes can be securable-wire, needle, plate, or any other type of electrode suitable for being secured to the pleural membrane using one or more fastening mechanisms. Electrical stimuli are generated by a stimulator connected to the stimulating surfaces of the open field bipolar electrode by one or more leads.
