Appl. No.:

11/623078

Inventors:

Alan Weir - Libertyville IL, US
Randy Vyskocil - Buffalo Grove IL, US
Bhama Rao - Lake Barrington IL, US
Steven Greco - Round Lake IL, US
John Blasko - Gurnee IL, US

Assignee:

NEC Sphere Communications, Inc. - Linolnshire IL

International Classification:

H04M 1/64

US Classification:

379 70, 379 85, 379 87, 379 8819, 37911201, 379133

Abstract:

A software solution to recording IP based communications that is highly scalable and reliable. Recordings can be configured to occur automatically or be triggered on-demand by a user that has been given the rights to do so. The user initiating the on-demand recording need not be a participant on the call. The solution is based on two server components: a call manager and a media server. The call manager is responsible for re-routing the IP media stream between two endpoints via the media server. The media server relays the IP media packets while capturing a copy that is stored as the recording. The recordings are stored on a network share and secured using standard network file security mechanisms. Access to playback recordings requires rights that are configured via the administrator. Playback of the recordings can be accomplished via the phone, client application or web service.

International Classification:

H04L 12/66

US Classification:

370356

Abstract:

A method of providing synchronization of the clocks of all of the media gateways of an Ethernet, or equivalent, IP network used in the transmission of audio data between media gateways using a clock provided by the PSTN. The selection of one of the media gateways connected to the PSTN, termed the master CoHub (Central Office Hub), is used as a clock master. This CoHub derives its clock from its TDM-interface's frame-synchronization with the PSTN to which it is connected. Utilizing this gateway-synchronization method, all MG's are synchronized to this PSTN clock-source.

International Classification:

B01D 6132
B01D 6130

US Classification:

210646

Abstract:

A method for raising or lowering the fluid level in a chamber in an extracorporeal circuit of a dialysis machine, such as an air trap or compliance chamber, is provided which uses a touch screen. The user of the machine is prompted to indicate on the touch screen the current or actual level of fluid (e. g. , blood) in the drip chamber. The user then touches the touch screen to indicate the level, such as by touching an illustration of the chamber at a level corresponding to the actual level. The control system for the machine determines from the level indicated on the touch screen whether the level in the chamber needs to be raised or lowered, and by how much, and responsively operates chamber level adjustment apparatus (such as pressure adjustment apparatus in air communication with the chamber) to raise or lower the level closer to the proper level.

International Classification:

H04W 4/90

Abstract:

Disclosed is a mobile edge computing system that provides localized emergency responses and warning exclusively to UEs within a venue or area, and provides location-specific warning within the venue or area. The system includes a component that aggregates the S1-mme interface between the MME and a plurality of baseband units and provides read and write access to the S1-mme interface. The disclosed mobile edge computing system can issue cell-specific public warning system (PWS) messages that are customized for and transmitted exclusively to each individual cell within the venue.
