Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes sending an electronic invitation to an endpoint associated with a user. The electronic invitation requests that the user attend a conference session to be held at a specified time over a network. A set of filtering rules is then applied to the electronic invitation to select a delegate to attend the conference session in place of the user. Once a delegate has been selected, the electronic invitation is forwarded to the delegate. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure.

Abstract: The capability to suspend a patient alert relating to a monitored physiologic parameters addresses a need to selectively shut off a patient-alert signal or signals during the time a patient is being treated for an excursion in the parameter. Of course, in general a signal call attention to a patient's a potentially deleterious status or condition for which they should seek medical attention. Once a chronically-implanted monitoring device has detected or provided information about the parameter relative to a desired value, trend, or range and a clinician has been notified and intervened the alert signal is temporarily disabled for a predetermined period. That is, once the notification occurs and alert has served its purpose, the alert mechanism is selectively deactivated while the patient ostensibly begins to gradually correct the monitored physiologic parameter under a caregiver's direction and control. After which time, the alert will reactivate.

Abstract translation: 暂停与所监测的生理参数相关的患者警报的能力解决了在患者被治疗参数期间偏移的时间期间选择性地切断病人警报信号或信号的需要。 当然，一般来说，一个信号会引起对患者的一个潜在的有害的状态或状况的关注，他们应该寻求医疗护理。 一旦长期植入的监测装置已经相对于期望值，趋势或范围已经检测或提供了关于参数的信息，并且已通知临床医生并且中介了警报信号暂时禁用预定时间段。 也就是说，一旦通知发生并且警报已经达到其目的，则警告机制被选择性地去激活，同时患者表面上开始逐渐校正受照顾者的方向和控制下的监测的生理参数。 之后，警报将重新启动。

Abstract: In one embodiment, a first audio waveform is produced at a first side of a network connection and then encoded and sent by a first endpoint device to a second endpoint device at a second side of the network connection. A second audio waveform is then detected after being played out by the first endpoint device, the second audio waveform having been produced at the second side of the network connection in response to the second endpoint device playing out the first audio waveform. A round-trip delay is then calculating based on a time period measured from output of the first audio waveform to detection of the second audio waveform. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure.

Abstract: A method for managing calls of an automatic call distributor includes receiving a call from a user over a first connection with a first endpoint of the user. The call comprises a request for service. The method includes obtaining presence information of the user and associating the call with the presence information. The method includes placing the call in a queue until a suitable agent becomes available to provide the service to the user. A virtual contact is established to hold a place of the call in an order in the queue if the first connection is terminated. The method also includes establishing a second connection with the user and detecting the presence of the user associated with the second connection. The method includes associating the second connection with the virtual contact using the detected presence of the user.

Abstract: Disclosed is an active or dynamic RFID tag that actively provides current status information regarding a particular item, as well as mechanisms for recognizing dynamic RFID information read from such RFID tag. Static identifying information regarding the particular item is provided either by the same active/dynamic RFID tag or by a different passive RFID tag. While the RFID tag may passively or actively provide general identification, the RFID actively provides status information that corresponds to changes in the corresponding item's status. In a first implementation, active RFID tags are positioned next to one or more components within a system so that each active RFID tag is powered and transmitting its RFID information when its corresponding component is operational. In contrast, each active RFID tag is positioned so that it is not powered and not transmitting its RFID information when its component is failing. Accordingly, an RFID reader can then know when a system has a failing component when a one of the component's corresponding active RFID tag is not transmitting its RFID information. In this first implementation, the active RFID either transmits or fails to transmit based on its component's status state. In a second implementation, a dynamic RFID is associated with a specific component, set of components, or system, and the dynamic RFID tag dynamically provides an RFID reader with RFID information that changes with its associated item's changing status state. The status state may correspond to any suitable parameter of the item or product that can change over time. Thus, the dynamic RFID provides different transmission frequencies based on different status states of its component or system.

Abstract translation: 公开了主动或动态RFID标签，其主动地提供关于特定项目的当前状态信息，以及用于识别从这种RFID标签读取的动态RFID信息的机制。 关于特定项目的静态识别信息由相同的主动/动态RFID标签或不同的无源RFID标签提供。 当RFID标签可以被动地或主动地提供一般标识时，RFID主动地提供对应于相应项目状态的变化的状态信息。 在第一实现中，有源RFID标签位于系统内的一个或多个部件的旁边，使得每个有源RFID标签被供电并在其相应的部件可操作时传送其RFID信息。 相比之下，每个有源RFID标签被定位成当其组件出现故障时它不被供电并且不发送其RFID信息。 因此，当组件的相应的有源RFID标签中的一个没有发送其RFID信息时，RFID读取器可以知道何时系统具有故障组件。 在该第一实现中，有源RFID基于其组件的状态来传输或不发送。 在第二实施例中，动态RFID与特定组件，组件或系统集合相关联，并且动态RFID标签动态地向RFID读取器提供随其相关联项目的改变状态状态而改变的RFID信息。 状态可以对应于可随时间变化的物品或产品的任何合适的参数。 因此，动态RFID基于其组件或系统的不同状态提供不同的传输频率。

Abstract: The present invention includes methods and devices for providing. According to some implementations, radio frequency identification (“RFID”) tags are positioned at various locations throughout a building. Building locations can be determined from the RFID tags. Emergency service providers may be equipped with a portable device that includes at least one RFID reader for reading the RFID tags. Some implementations involve transmitting the RFID tag data to a control center from which the emergency services are coordinated. The emergency service workers' current and prior locations can be determined by the portable devices and/or at the control center. In preferred implementations, emergency service provider location information can be provided to control center personnel and to emergency service providers in real time.

An exemplary translator in accordance with embodiments can include: an input configured to receive a first video stream in a first format, the first video stream being from a first media switch, the first media switch being associated with a first stream group having one or more first endpoints; and an output configured to provide a second video stream in a second format, the second video stream being sent to a second media switch, the second media switch being associated with a second stream group having one or more second endpoints, whereby the translator is configured to convert from the first to the second format. Further, the translator can be configured as a logical endpoint where a first interface having an input/output pair uses the first format and a second interface having another input/output pair uses the second format. The two formats may differ in at least one characteristic.
