摘要:
A method includes receiving data representative of a plurality of multimedia channels and associating channel numbers with at least a subset of the plurality of multimedia channels to generate a first channel numbering set. The method further includes providing, in response to user input indicating a selection of a channel number of the first channel numbering set, data representative of one of the plurality of multimedia channels for display. A set of executable instructions manipulate a processor to display an electronic programming guide (EPG) interface. The EPG interface includes a user input interface to receive user information indicating a preferred arrangement of a plurality of multimedia channels ordered in a channel numbering set. The set of executable instructions further manipulate the processor to provide, in response to user input indicating a selection of a channel number by a user, one of the plurality of multimedia channels for display based on the channel numbering set.

A method and apparatus for providing a cellular zone is disclosed. A communication link connects a cellular base station and a wireless access point. A typical communication link can be a wire-based communication network, such as the Internet, using IP telephony protocol. The wireless access point communicates with a cell phone over a cellular frequency and thereby establishes the cellular zone. Where the area of the cellular zone and the coverage area of the cellular base station overlap, continuous arbitration is performed to select a communications channel. The strength of a first signal received from the cellular base station is compared to the strength of a second signal received from the wireless access point. Selection criteria include signal strength and a time-oriented criteria to maintain continuity of communication channel.

The present invention discusses a method and apparatus for providing customer information, such as a physical address etc., to a call destination, such as a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), over an Internet Protocol (IP) communication link. A mediation layer maintains a table tracking information such as IP address, physical location of the customer, and MAC (Media Access Control) Address. When a call is placed, an IP address is sent to the mediation layer. The mediation layer selects appropriate caller information and routes the information to the network, which routes the information to the PSAP. The mediation layer maintains customer information through a Virtual Central Repository (VCR), and IP addresses through a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server on an ongoing basis. The mediation layer can comprise multiple interconnected mediation layers in cooperation.

A download image containing an encryption agent and a soft key software routine is downloaded to a communication unit coupled to a communications network. The encryption agent enables the communication unit to encrypt/decrypt communications handled by the unit. The soft key routine enables/disables encryption at the unit based on a selection of a soft key on the unit. If encryption is enabled, the encryption agent encrypts/decrypts communications transferred between the communication unit and the communication network. If encryption is disabled, the communications are transferred “in the clear” between the communication unit and the communications network.
摘要:
A system and method for providing data content analysis is disclosed. The system includes an intelligent switch in a local area network, where the intelligent switch has content analysis applications stored therein and is configured to apply one or more content analysis applications on a port-by-port basis. The method includes remotely updating one or more content analysis applications at intelligent switches of subscriber networks.

A fuel pumping apparatus comprises an injection pump including a cam angularly movable to vary the timing of injection of fuel, the cam being operated by a servo-mechanism which is controlled by an electrical torque motor. The supply of electrical energy to the torque motor is controlled by a control circuit which receives signals indicative of the speed of and the load on the engine, and also a signal from a transducer indicative of the actual timing of injection of fuel to the engine and also a signal from a transducer indicating the position of the parts of the engine. The control circuit processes the signals to provide for variation in the timing of injection of fuel in accordance with the speed and the load, and also checks that the actual instant of injection is correct.
摘要:
A nonmagnetic supporting member is adapted to surround a picture tube neck portion and includes a first collar having a plurality of circumferentially spaced cam-receiving apertures and a captivating collar spaced from the first collar, the supporting member including a clamp arrangement for fixedly mounting the member to the tube neck. A plurality of rotatable magnetized rings are mounted adjacent to the captivating collar and a rotatable second collar is mounted between the magnetized rings and the first collar. The second collar includes a plurality of ramp portions which, when rotated by tabs located on the first and second collars to locate the ramps within the apertures, unlocks the magnetized rings to enable adjustment. A second set of tabs formed on the first and second collars permit rotation of the ramp portions out of the apertures which increases the pressure on the magnetized rings between the captivating and first collars for effectively locking the rings in position.
摘要:
In a telephone switching system wherein a plurality of line circuits are terminated in station sets, the line circuits are interconnectable to a plurality of trunk circuits through a multistage switching network. A call originated by a calling party to a called party, engaged in a conversation with a third party, is completed by overriding the conversation between the called party and the third party provided the calling party is equipped with a class of service which permits call override. Call override is initiated by the calling party upon receipt of a busy tone by a flashing of his switchhook.
