Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a network infrastructure operable to support the exchange of communications, such as textual, image, video and voice communications, between a first client terminal having a first user identifier and service by a first service provider and a second (destination) client terminal having a second user identifier and serviced by a second service provider. This network infrastructure includes a packet-switch network, a shared database and a number of client terminals serviced by different service providers. These terminals include a network interface and are identified by their service provider by a network address. The shared database associates user identifiers with network addresses. This allows a user to access the shared database in order to initiate a call request from the first client terminal to the second client terminal. The first client terminal receives the network address or vectoring information on the network address of the destination terminal through the shared database. This shared database may also have metadata used to manage the call.

Abstract: A sensor for sensing one or more properties of a vehicle fluid has a tuning fork resonator adapted to contact the fluid. The tuning fork resonator comprises two tines and is operable to oscillate so that the two tines move in opposite phase at a frequency of less than 1 MHz while contacting the fluid to generate a resonator response indicative of one or more properties of the fluid. In another aspect, a sensor includes a substrate and a flexural resonator on the substrate and adapted to contact the fluid. Circuitry for operation of the resonator is on the substrate. The resonator is adapted to receive an input signal and to oscillate while contacting the fluid to generate a resonator response indicative of one or more properties of the fluid. One suitable application for the invention is monitoring the condition of a vehicle engine oil.

Abstract: A bridging computing device includes processing circuitry communicatively coupled to a user interface, a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) interface, a packet data network interface. The processing circuitry receives a first call setup request from the PSTN via the first interface, selectively prepares a second call setup request based upon the first call setup request, and sends the second call setup request to the Internet via the second interface. The processing circuitry may obtain and use bridging instructions to prepare the second call setup request. The processing circuitry may receive the first call setup request via the PSTN interface or the packet data network interface. The processing circuitry may send the second call setup request via the PSTN interface or the packet data network interface. The bridging computing device may optionally bridge a corresponding call and/or enable another bridging device to bridge the call.

Abstract: A Set Top Box includes processing circuitry, a tuner, a user interface, a remote control interface, a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) interface, and a packet data network interface. To service an incoming call, the processing circuitry obtains and executes bridging instructions that establish a pathway between the PSTN and packet data network interfaces. With such pathway, a call between a PSTN telephony device and an Internet telephony device can be established and maintained via the bridging Set Top Box. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls are bridged between first and second VoIP terminals using only the packet data network interface. Telephony instructions used in making bridging decisions may be stored locally or remotely and accessed by the processing circuitry in an appropriate manner when making bridging decisions.

Abstract: A network infrastructure operable to support the exchange of communications, such as voice communications, between a first client terminal having a first user identifier and a second (destination) client terminal associated with a second user identifier (handle). This second client terminal may be part of a family of client terminals. The network infrastructure includes a packet-switch network, a shared database and a number of client terminals serviced by one or more service providers. These terminals include a network interface and are identified by their service provider by a network address. The shared database associates user identifiers, metadata and network addresses. This allows a user to access the shared database in order to initiate a call request from the first client terminal to the second client terminal(s). The first client terminal receives the network address or vectoring information on the network address of the destination terminal through the shared database. This shared database may also have metadata used to manage the call. The destination terminal may receive or redirect the call within the family of client terminals based on metadata contained within the shared database or stored locally.

Abstract: A primary multi-layer protocol stack that allows a secondary multi-layer protocol stack to communicatively couple into one or more of its layers. End point device circuitry implements both the primary and secondary protocol stacks. A communication application running on the end point device initiates interaction, e.g., a session, via a primary radio and primary intermediate protocol stack layers. Based on a change in communication characteristics, for example, an operation is invoked to bridge between one of the intermediate protocol stack layers of the primary stack to one from the secondary stack. Such bridging establishes a secondary pathway via the secondary radio. The primary and secondary radios may support the same or differing protocols. To avoid having to fully reestablish a session, at least one session parameter is carried forward through the bridge. The bridge may have multiple entry points in and out of both protocol stacks and operate as two half-duplex bridges.

Abstract: An end-point device comprises multiple transceivers via which the end-point device associates with multiple access points simultaneously. The access points may belong to communicatively incompatible packet switched data networks. A backbone network communicatively connects all associated access points. The end-point device receives unique network address of an access point from the access point upon association and sends network addresses of other currently associated access points and first rule information to the access point either upon association or prior to detaching from the access point. One or more of the other currently associated access points may direct above action of the end-point device. The end-point device or one of the other access points generates the first rule information. The access point on identifying detachment of the end-point device from it uses one or more of the network addresses of other currently associated access points to deliver data packets to the end-point device via the backbone network and corresponding access point(s). Any one of the associated access points sends second rule information to another of the associated access points via the backbone network wherein the second rule information comprises information regarding pathway to be used, type of data to be delivered, duration of interaction between the access point and the detached end-point device via the backbone network etc.

Abstract: End-point devices, access points and other types of network nodes each employ multi-path management software to manage communication via multiple possible paths to the Internet backbone from communication applications that run on an end-point device. The multi-path management software on an end-point device may operate independently and/or cooperate with the local communication applications and the multi-path management software located on the access points or other network nodes to select one or more pathways for the local communication applications. The multi-path management software depending on data types and data requirements also supports selection and maintenance of two or more paths that simultaneously serve a single communication application. The multi-path management software of an end-point device may pass all or a portion of multi-path management responsibility to a local communication application and/or to multi-path management software of another network node. In addition to managing the selection of one or more pathways, the multi-path management software seamlessly switches pathways as may become necessary to meet changing network conditions or bandwidth demands.
