  • Publication number: 20160065748
    Abstract: A device may receive a first call associated with a virtual phone number associated with a first user device and a second user device. The device may determine, and may store information indicating, that the first call was made using the first user device. The device may receive a second call directed to the virtual phone number and may determine whether the second call comprises a call back associated with the first call. The device may selectively send the second call to the first user device or to the first and second user devices based on determining whether the second call comprises the call back. The second call may be sent to the first and second user devices when the second call does not comprise the call back and may be sent to the first user device when the second call comprises the call back.

  • Patent number: 9271116
    Abstract: A request to access a location-based service is received via a wireless access point (WAP). A WAP identifier associated with the WAP may be identified based on the request and a particular geographic location associated with the WAP may be determined based on the identifier. For example, a WAP information service (WIS) may store data associating geographic locations and WAP identifiers corresponding to a plurality of WAPs that include the WAP, and the particular geographic location may be determined by querying the WIS, based on the particular WAP identifier, to identify the particular geographic location. A communication may be established between the user device and location-based service based on the particular geographic location associated with the WAP.

  • Patent number: 9088966
    Abstract: A network device is configured to receive, from a user device that is not subscribed to a network associated with the network device, a connection request identifying a particular service, of one or more services, to provide to the user device. The system may further identify a packet data network (PDN) to establish based on the particular service; identify one or more parameters, associated with the PDN and identifying a data flow, associated with the particular service, that can be provided to the user device; and establish the PDN based on the one or more PDN parameters. The PDN may permit only the data flow, associated with the particular service, to be transmitted to the user device. The system may further provide the data flow, associated with the particular service, to the user device via the PDN.

  • Publication number: 20150183193
    Abstract: In the construction of a multilayer film in which an ethylene-based polymer layer is joined to one another layer by a polyurethane (PU) adhesive, the rate of cure and the degree of cure of the PU adhesive are accelerated by incorporating into the ethylene-based polymer layer a functional compound with active hydrogens, e.g., a polyol, and/or a cure catalyst, e.g., an amine, zinc or tin-based compound. The catalyst and reactive functionality may be present on the same molecule (e.g. alkoxylated amine or zinc ricinoleate). The catalyst and isocyanate reactive compound will migrate into the PU adhesive over time and accelerate the rate and promote the degree of PU adhesive cure, and the functional compound will promote the migration of the cure catalyst into the PU adhesive. In turn, this accelerated cure inhibits the migration of residual, monomeric amines from the PU adhesive into and through the ethylene-based polymer.

  • Patent number: 8989708
    Abstract: One or more devices may receive an instruction to generate an index for a customer associated with a base station and may generate the index based on receiving the instruction. The index may include one or more spaces to store a corresponding one or more access identifiers (IDs) used to allow a user device to connect to the base station. The one or more devices may receive an instruction to add an access ID to the index; generate the access ID based on a format of the access ID, a customer type, a customer ID, or a space ID; store the access ID in one of the one or more spaces of the index; and provide the access ID to the user device and the base station. The access ID may permit the user device to connect to the base station to access a network via the base station.

  • Patent number: 8965339
    Abstract: A method and article of manufacture to reactivate a user identity card for a mobile station that communicates with a network is described. The user identity card is initially activated with the network. The user identity card has a unique identifier. Activation includes communicating with the mobile station from the network and programming the user identity card with network parameters. The network parameters programmed on the user identity card are then cleared after a preset period of time. The user identity card is reset to an unactivated state and then the user identity card can be reactivated with the network.
