20080276294 | LEGAL INTERCEPT OF COMMUNICATION TRAFFIC PARTICULARLY USEFUL IN A MOBILE ENVIRONMENT - Methods, structures, and systems are disclosed for implementing legal intercept of data which provide real-time correlation of broadband user information to network addresses (or other identifiers) across multiple and different authentication systems and user databases. In certain embodiments, an intercept coordinator module interacts with each authentication system to determine real-time a target address for a target user device, which it then uses to update mediation devices, external databases, etc., involved in performing a lawful intercept under the CALEA process. Probes are not required within the network to perform authentication system captures. A modular interface system provides support for existing CALEA equipment, and support for implementing additional interface modules for new or updated CALEA equipment. Exemplary intercept coordinator modules may communicate with multiple AAA systems, in multiple different sub-nets or networks, including geographically distant networks, and provides for pooling of common CALEA equipment resources for use in multiple networks simultaneously. | 11-06-2008 |

20090206946 | Apparatus and method for reducing propagation delay in a conductor - An apparatus and method is provided that reduces the propagation delay in a conductor carrying an electrical signal from a first area of a circuit to a second area of the circuit. The conductor is fabricated to include a first conductor extending from the first area to the second area.
