Abstract:
A wireless telecommunication system that automatically enforces a quiet time mode of operation for a wireless handset comprises a cellular telecommunication network, and a wireless handset configured to transmit voice and data information to, and configured to receive voice and data information from the cellular telecommunication network. The wireless handset comprises a quiet time controller configured to disable the wireless handset from issuing the audible notification during scheduled quiet time periods.
Abstract:
A durable and wear resistant synthetic sports field having a plurality of strips having a plurality of fibrillated polypropylene strands tufted within a multilayer backing material. The strands are tufted in a wide variety of pile heights, patterns, gauges, and stitch patterns depending upon end use. A particulate matter infill is introduced onto the strips at a depth between about 10% and 50% of the overall height of the strands.
Abstract:
A modular synthetic grass playing surface system formed from a plurality of modular units. Each modular unit has a synthetic grass layer placed upon predetermined sized pallets having a pre-installed elastomeric layer. A layer of resilient particle infill is optionally introduced to the top surface of the modular unit. A corrugated plastic sleeve is optionally installed around each formed modular unit while the modular unit is stored and moved. A plurality of modular units are then installed onto a relatively flat surface to form the playing surface in a desired shape and size.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide novel solutions, including systems, methods and/or software, for handling calls in a dual-mode VoIP/cellular environment. Merely by way of example, some systems can be configured to determine whether to use a VoIP system or a cellular system to handle a particular call, and/or to transition a call from one network to the other network. Other systems can be configured to substitute a public number (which might be, for example, a VoIP number) for a private number (which might be, for example, a cellular number) when routing a call originating from a dual-mode phone on a cellular network. Further systems can be configured to allow a VoIP system to serve as an anchor for calls originated and/or delivered on a cellular system, for instance to facilitate a transition between cellular and VoIP service during a call.

Abstract:
The present invention provides systems and methods for supporting enhanced 911 (E911) emergency services in data communications networks that includes Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephones, by facilitating the identification of the geographic location of a VoIP telephone. The invention generally provides GPS-based geographic location information to the E911 emergency services network. In one embodiment, an E911-enablement system including an E911-enablement device coupled to a GPS receiver is provided. The E911-enablement device then inserts geographic location information obtained from the GPS receiver into 911 call packet streams to provide accurate location information to the E911 emergency services network.
Abstract:
Methods and systems provide access to a wireless network. A request is received from a wireless client device at a public access point located at a customer premises. Access to the public network is authorized. An account associated with the customer premises is credited as compensation for the access.
Abstract:
Some food pathogens are not well controlled by lethality treatments followed by refrigeration. A food processing facility according to this invention reduces the likelihood that food pathogens will be able to enter the food processing facility, or spread should they be able to enter. The food processing facility is divided into a plurality of area, with different areas having different allowed actions that can be taken on the food product, different rules and/or procedures for persons who are allowed entry, and/or different levels of cleanliness. The food processing facility includes a plurality of separate rooms for processing the food product, each including separate food processing machines, air handling systems, drain systems and/or often-used supplies and tools. Different air pressures within different areas limit the possible movement of airborne food pathogens. Sanitizing stations are placed between various ones of the different areas.
Abstract:
A dynamically provisioned telecommunications system and methods for using such. Various of the systems include an automated carrier layer that is operable to direct one of at least two access sources to a subscriber line, and an automated service layer that is operable to direct an access request associated with the subscriber line to one of at least two service pools. In some cases, one or more electromechanical cross-connects are used to switch network signaling.
Abstract:
A device for entering data into a computer and for manipulation of a cursor. The device includes a joystick, a conductive spring and at least one capacitive force sensor. The conductive spring is capable of being deflected by force applied to the joystick which is measured by the capacitive force sensor.
