20080219182 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE BASED SERVICES - A system and method for adjusting digital subscriber line based services is provided. In a particular embodiment, a computer readable medium is provided including computer-executable instructions that when executed, cause a computer to modify a value of a first control parameter associated with a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) network based on a first performance parameter that is measured in real-time at a DSL modem over a first pre-determined time period. | 09-11-2008 |
20090040939 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING BROADBAND SERVICES - A system and method are described for selecting a service state using a configurable abstraction layer. A comparison is made between network parameters of a Network Performance Layer and network services of a Service Layer. Once network parameters are within a threshold for providing a given service, a state change can be made in the configuration parameters to suit the provided service. | 02-12-2009 |
20090245336 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO DETERMINE DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS - Example methods and apparatus to determine digital subscriber line (DSL) configuration parameters based on current and historical DSL performance characteristics are disclosed. A disclosed method includes obtaining first data representative of a current performance characteristic for a DSL modem, obtaining second data representative of a historical performance characteristic for the DSL modem, computing, at a maintenance server, a configuration parameter using the first and the second data, and reinitializing the DSL modem with the computed DSL configuration parameter when the computed configuration parameter has a value different from a previous value of the configuration parameter, wherein the DSL configuration parameter is computed prior to the reinitializing of the DSL modem. | 10-01-2009 |
20110142206 | Automated DSL Performance Adjustment - A method includes selecting a first set of digital subscriber lines (DSLs) supported by a digital subscriber line access multiplexor (DSLAM). The DSLs of the first set exhibit reduced performance based on historical performance data. The method includes sending a request to the DSLAM for a first performance parameter for each of the DSLs of the first set. The method includes receiving the first performance parameters. The method includes removing DSLs from the first set that have suitable performance based on the first performance parameters to create a second set of DSLs. The method includes selecting a line profile to apply to the second set of DSLs. The method also includes sending a second request to the DSLAM to apply the line profile to the DSLs of the second set and then to determine a second performance parameter for each of the DSLs of the second set. | 06-16-2011 |
20130195256 | Automated DSL Performance Adjustment - A method includes identifying one or more second digital subscriber lines from one or more first digital subscriber lines based on historical performance data. The one or more second digital subscriber lines are identified based on degraded performance that is determined using first performance information for the one or more first digital subscriber lines. The method includes applying a line profile to the one or more second digital subscriber lines. The method includes storing second performance information associated with the one or more second digital subscriber lines. The method includes sending information to a remote computing device. | 08-01-2013 |

20090313051 | LIQUID INSURANCE CONTRACTS - A liquid insurance contract (LIC) comprises a security which is traded or tradable and which has cash flows to the issuer based upon a liability whose exact value is unknown at the time of issuance. A method for creating and trading these LICs, as well as other financial products derived from LICs, may include any of the following steps: writing at least one LIC; preparing regulatory filings for at least two LICs; issuing the two LICs; preparing regulatory filings for a financial product which includes at least one detachable LIC provision; issuing the financial product; creating at least one underwriter as a closed end fund owned by a parent company; placing ownership of at least a portion of an issue of the financial product in an underwriter owned by a parent company; spinning off the underwriter from the parent company using at least one stock dividend; trading shares of the underwriter; reporting information on trades and positions of the underwriter; and valuing the underwriter using analytic modeling, sensitivity testing, portfolio analysis, and/or investment analysis. | 12-17-2009 |
20100094744 | CONTRACTS EXCHANGE SYSTEM - A contracts exchange system includes a liquid contracts exchange, traders trading on the exchange, a securities exchange listing shares of the trader, thereby enabling access to the capital markets, and a surety guaranteeing obligations of the trader. Methods are provided for transferring risk to the capital markets, for operating a liquid contracts exchange, for paying obligations under an exchange traded contract, for calculating sureties, for auditing traders, detecting errors, mistakes or fraud in a trader's financial statements, for assuring compliance by a trader, for estimating a franchise value of a trader, for making a contract tradable on an exchange, and for managing traders in the contract exchange system. | 04-15-2010 |
20100100474 | METHODS OF DETERMINING TRANSACTION PRICES ON ELECTRONIC TRADING EXCHANGES - A method of determining transaction prices on an electronic trading floor, or exchange, requires every participating trader to maintain a bid for each share being traded on the exchange except for those shares held by the trader. Bids are maintained in an electronic database, but not disclosed to traders. When a trader desires to liquidate a share, whether asset or liability, the method enables the trader to liquidate at the most favorable bid. Trading is thus accomplished on the electronic floor without using any offers and without disclosing bids. | 04-22-2010 |
