  • Patent number: 9247075
    Abstract: Cellular data access capabilities can be shared between mobile devices. Users of the mobile devices can be presented with options for selecting a set of polices for sharing cellular data access capabilities between the mobile devices and as a function of cellular data plan capacities. The set of policies can be stored in a memory of the mobile devices. Using a first application operating on a first one of the mobile devices and based upon the stored set of polices, a request can be transmitted to request cellular data access capabilities of a second one of the mobile devices. Using a second application operating on the second mobile device and based upon the stored set of polices, the first mobile device can be provided access to cellular data access capabilities of a second mobile devices.

  • Patent number: 8694156
    Abstract: An apparatus and computer program product for managing paper consumption. Responsive to dispensing a first amount of paper from a set of paper dispensers in which the first amount of paper is dispensed for an account, the set of paper dispensers updates the account based on the first amount of paper dispensed. Responsive to receiving a second amount of paper at a set of paper disposers in which the second amount of paper is received for the account, the set of disposers updates the account based on the second amount of paper received.

  • Patent number: 8656224
    Abstract: A set of connected network devices and at least one network device generate an event record containing an identity of the generating network device and a timestamp indicating when the event was generated. The event record is retrieved that identifies the network device that generated the event. A key period of use associated with the generating network device is also retrieved. If the time of the event is within the retrieved key period, the event record is modified to show that the event is within the retrieved key period. Using information in the modified event record, the event and an indication that the event is within the retrieved key period is displayed.

  • Publication number: 20120066558
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method and system for network fault management in busy periods. When a fault occurs in a network it can be difficult to understand the relevant network conditions at the moment of the fault because of the large numbers of factors that are involved. The solution presented is a method and system for managing a data processing network, wherein the network comprises a set of connected network devices and at least one network device generates an event record containing an identity of the generating network device and a timestamp indicating when the event was generated.
