  • Publication number: 20210274128
    Abstract: A system that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, capturing images that are associated with a video conference communication session, obtaining a video conference policy associated with the video conference communication session, applying object pattern recognition to the images to detect an object in the images, and retrieve first replacement image content according to the video conference policy. The images can be adjusted by replacing a first portion of the images other than the detected object with the first replacement image content to generate first adjusted video content. The first adjusted video content can be provided to the first recipient communication device via the video conference communication session. Non-adjusted video content can be provided according to the video conference policy to the second recipient communication device via the video conference communication session. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5729588
    Abstract: The integrity of AMA records generated by a switch in the telephone network is achieved by generating test calls and then monitoring and then processing the AMA records generated by those switches in the network which handled the test call. Such monitoring includes tracking for the AMA records that have been generated for the test calls and then processing those records such that the contents of the fields forming the records are analyzed to determine that the data contained therein is correct.

  • Patent number: 4218609
    Abstract: A mechanical calculator employs a register consisting of gears. Each register gear has two sets of teeth. One set has teeth all around the circumference of the wheel while the other set consists of a single carry-over tooth. The register gears are spaced widely enough apart that they do not engage one another. An intermittent carry-over motion is transmitted from one register gear to an adjacent register gear by a selectively insertable and removable carry-over gear, which is mechanically unconnected to the remainder of the calculator. The operations of multiplication and division are enabled by a set of individually selectively insertable and removable multiplying gears. The number of teeth on these gears, and their diameters, are integral multiples of those on the register gears. The multiplying gears are mechanically unconnected to the remainder of the calculator.
