  • Patent number: 8732567
    Abstract: A system and a method for generating a document and maintaining the integrity of the document includes compiling a superset of data into a data heap from multiple data sources, where the data heap corresponds to a start date and one or more clients. The system generates the document using content elements, which are created using the compiled data, and embeds the content elements into the document. The document then is accessible through an associated software application. The data heap is saved and attached to the document. When the document is modified or edited in any manner, the system automatically saves the modified document as a new version. Additionally, the data heap is synchronized to the associated document and, therefore, is regenerated and saved as a new version along with the modified document.

  • Publication number: 20130022036
    Abstract: Providing high quality voice/sound communications over a local loop of a telephone network is disclosed. The method includes receiving a voice signal, digitizing the voice signal into a high quality voice signal, utilizing sampling rates and/or sizes above the threshold, negotiating voice processing characteristics between a customer premises equipment and a network element, receiving speech at a customer premises equipment according to the negotiation, converting the received speech into high bandwidth signal and transmitting the high bandwidth signal to a telephone local loop, transmitting the high bandwidth signal froth the local loop to wideband node that packetizes the high bandwidth signal for transmission to a packet network and receiving the packetized signal from the packet network at a switch that switches between an on-network or off-network status. A voice over IP platform can route packetized signals from the packet network to the telephone network or another packet network.

  • Publication number: 20090316878
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for providing high quality sound communications in an IP Centrex environment. The method aspect of the invention comprises, from a network switch, negotiating between a first customer premises equipment (CPE) and a second CPE, the negotiation being related to a possible quality of a call between the first CPE and the second CPE. Next, the switch controls mapping between a dialing plan and a network address, determining a network address of the first CPE and the second CPE and connecting the call between the first CPE and the second CPE. In this manner, the highest quality and broadest bandwidth possible between the first CPE and second CPE through the IP Centrex environment may be used for the call.
