20100041961Head-stabilized medical apparatus, system and methodology - Structure and methodology involving mountable and head-wearable frame structure which is positionally stabilized, during use, relative a human subject's head, and which carries a selection of positionally anchored data sensors, and stimuli deliverers, that are relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular disorders. Special configurations are provided for two types of stimulators, one for sound application and air-pressure modification, and the other for the introduction of fluids to the ear. Stabilization enables tight and accurate correlation of data which is quickly analyzable by a connected, properly algorithmed computer, which can also be used for feedback control in a designed “expert” system. The invention enables, among other things, practical and significant differentiation between physiological and pathological nystagmus. 02-18-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090258682Methods, Devices, and Computer Program Products for Providing Ambient Noise Sensitive Alerting - Methods, devices, and computer program products for providing ambient noise sensitive alerting. The methods comprise receiving ambient noise, converting the ambient noise to an electrical signal, detecting a parameter of the electrical signal which is indicative of ambient noise, sensing an incoming call or message, and controlling the volume of an audible alert in response to the detected parameter of the electrical signal.10-15-2009
20090290577METHODS, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR ASSOCIATING LOCAL TELEPHONE NUMBERS WITH EMERGENCY PHONE CALLS IN A PACKET SWITCHED TELEPHONE SYSTEM - A packet switched telephone system includes a packet switched routing apparatus. The packet switched routing apparatus selectively associates a local telephone number with a phone call based on a called telephone number, and routes the phone call based on the called telephone number. The local telephone number may be substituted for a calling telephone number when the called telephone number corresponds to a predefined number, such as an emergency number. When the called telephone number corresponds to an emergency number, the phone call may be routed with the substituted local telephone number to a Public Safety Access Point (PSAP) that services the local area of the subscriber.11-26-2009

20090190573SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROVIDING IMS SERVICES TO USERS ON TERMINATING NON IMS DEVICES - Disclosed is a network-based device in an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) that provides IMS services to terminating non-IP devices. The method embodiment includes receiving a REGISTER message that initiates registration of a Public User Identity (PUID) at a terminating non-IP device at a network-based device in an IMS, wherein the terminating non-IP device is specified as being at an E.164 routing address, establishing, in a network device that accepts communications regarding where to send sessions destined for a specific PUID and provide information regarding where to send sessions, the E.164 routing address as a final destination of sessions to the PUID based on the registration and an IP address of a network device that includes routing functionality based on telephone numbers as an immediate destination for the session and using this information from the registration to route to the terminating non-IP device after providing IMS services by using the relationship between the PUID, the E.164 routing address and the IP address of the network device that includes routing functionality based on telephone numbers that completes the routing of messages to the terminating non-IP device that was established during registration.07-30-2009
20090191871SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROVIDING IMS SERVICES TO USERS ON ORIGINATING NON IMS DEVICES AND OTHER DEVICES THAT DO NOT HAVE A PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE USER - Disclosed are a network-based device, method and computer readable medium for operating an IMS to provide IMS services to originating sessions from a device upon which the user is not registered. The method includes receiving communication from a user on a device upon which the user is not registered at a 2-stage dialing server, authenticating the user, determining a Public User ID (PUID) for the user, receiving an identification of a called party from the user, arranging for IMS services to be provided to the user on the device, sending an INVITE signal from the 2-stage dialing server on behalf of the user PUID to the called party and setting up the media connection from the device to the device associated with the called party.07-30-2009
