20080313491METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING CUSTOMER CONTROLLED NOTIFICATIONS IN A MANAGED NETWORK SERVICES SYSTEM - An approach for supporting automated fault isolation and recovery is provided. A notification configuration option is transmitted to a browser interface utilized by a user associated with a customer network that is monitored by a service provider, wherein the user selects the notification configuration option to input notification information. The notification information is received, via the browser interface, from the customer. A notification message is received from a platform configured to create a workflow event in response to an alarm indicative of a fault within the customer network, wherein isolation and recovery of the fault is performed according to the workflow event, the notification message including information about the customer network during the fault isolation and recovery process. The notification message is transmitted in accordance with the stored notification information.12-18-2008

20110110128Preventing metal oxide varistor (MOV) from releasing smoke, smell, and/or sound - A system includes an electrical component, a MOV, a voltage sensor, and a circuit. The MOV is connected in parallel to the electrical component. The voltage sensor detects a voltage over the MOV and the electrical component. The circuit removes power in response to the voltage sensor detecting the voltage over the MOV and the electrical component being greater than a threshold voltage for a length of time greater than a threshold length of time. Removing power prevents the MOV from releasing one or more of smoke, smell, and sound. The MOV is thus not damaged as a result of a power surge. The system may be a power supply, or another type of electrical system. The electrical component may be a capacitor, or another type of electrical component.05-12-2011

20090061769METHODS AND DEVICES FOR AUTOMATIC MULTIPLE PAIRING OF BLUETOOTH DEVICES - The described methods and devices provide a more user-friendly solution to the problem of pairing and connecting multiple devices to a Bluetooth accessory. The paired device list of the Bluetooth accessory is check to determine the most recently paired devices having particular Bluetooth profiles, for example, a hands free profile (HFP) or an advanced audio distribution profile (A2DP). The accessory attempts connection with the devices, if found. Otherwise the accessory continues connection attempts with devices on the paired device list, according to the connection recency, until the accessory has two connections with different profiles. If no connections are made, or the paired device list is empty, the device enters discoverable mode. In this manner a more user-friendly solution to the problem of pairing a Bluetooth accessory to multiple Bluetooth devices is provided.03-05-2009

20090098110INJECTABLE FORMS OF SOLID-FORMING CROSSLINKED BIOELASTIC BIOPOLYMERS FOR LOCAL DRUG DELIVERY - A method for delivering a compound of interest to a selected region in a subject is carried out by administering a composition to the region of interest, the composition comprising a cross-linked bioelastomer in combination with the compound of interest non-covalently combined with the cross-linked bioelastomer. In some embodiments, the composition is produced by the process of cross-linking a bioelastomer to produce a cross-linked polymer thereof, and then combining said cross-linked polymer with said compound of interest. Methods of making the compositions, and kits useful for carrying out the method, are also described.04-16-2009
20090105621Protective and Cosmetic Covering for External Fixators - A removable protective covering is provided that can be secured about an external fixation device on the upper or lower extremity of a patient. The covering includes a fabric form that is sized and configured to accommodate varying sizes of external fixation devices and uses readily engageable/releasable closure elements or fasteners to securely engage the covering about the fixator and the extremity. A drawstring closure may be provided at the open ends of the covering to tighten the end about the patient's limb. Ventilation features may be provided including vents with and without additional devices to generate air flow through the covering. The covering for a lower extremity fixation device may be configured for removably attachment to a foot plate and the foot plate itself may be configured to support or attach to the fixation device.04-23-2009
