Abstract: A releasable medical drape, and systems and methods having the same, includes at least a liquid-impermeable, vapor-permeable layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and a soft-gel layer having a plurality of apertures. The soft-gel layer is configured to be disposed adjacent to a tissue site. A portion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer extends through the plurality of apertures in the soft-gel layer to contact the tissue site. The soft-gel layer forms a good seal with the tissue site and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer extending through the plurality of apertures forms a firm—but releasable—coupling with the tissue site.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving, by a processing system including a processor that is operative in a first communication network, a certificate from a communication device that is operative in a second communication network, extracting, by the processing system, an identifier of the communication device from the certificate, authenticating, by the processing system, the communication device in accordance with the identifier, comparing, by the processing system, the identifier with a plurality of identifiers to determine that the communication device is authorized to access data, resulting in an authorization determination, and transmitting, by the processing system, the data to the communication device based on the authorization determination. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards routing, by a mobile network operator, a message to a messaging hub associated with a partner carrier or to the partner carrier itself. In response to receiving a message to reroute, a data store (e.g., an ENUM database) is queried to attempt to obtain information corresponding to the routing. For example, when the query response includes a regular expression that specifies a domain, the domain is evaluated against a data structure of respective messaging hubs associated with respective domains. If the returned domain is matched such that an associated messaging hub is identified, the message is routed to the identified messaging hub; otherwise a mobile network partner carrier is determined based on the telephone number of the message recipient, and the message is routed to the determined partner carrier.

Abstract: A method for discerning single registration subscribers and dual registration subscribers, and routes single registration traffic as internal and routes dual registration traffic as external.

Abstract: A device includes a processor and a memory. The processor effectuates operations including receiving a service capability for a mobile originating (MO) device. The processor further effectuates operations including receiving a service capability for a mobile terminating (MT) device. The processor further effectuates operations including receiving session initiation protocol (SIP) messages from the MO device at a Breakout Gateway Control Function (BGCF). The processor further effectuates operations including determining whether the received SIP messages are associated with setting up an outgoing open group chat (OGC) or an outgoing Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) file transfer. The processor further effectuates operations including blocking the SIP messages in response to the determination that the SIP messages are associated with setting up a MSRP file transfer.
