| 20080261603 | System for Optimizing Cellular Telephone Call Placement With Minimal User Overhead - A method and system for automatically placing calls made from a mobile telephone in an economical manner via calling card and call-back programs, with minimal user overhead. The system may be installed on an existing telephone by the user. To operate, the user initiates the placement of a call in the regular manner, as if the call were placed directly, and the system automatically places the call in the most economical way, such as via calling card or call-back program. The user can employ any dialing conveniences offered by the mobile telephone, including “speed dialing”, “phone book” dialing, or recent call dialing. All interaction with the calling card/call-back server is handled automatically; the user need not be aware that the call is being placed via a calling card or call-back program. Additional automatic features include automatic calling card recharging and selection of SIM for telephones supporting multiple SIM's. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090037594 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING COMPUTER NETWORK SECURITY - Computers connected to a private network are monitored and controlled through the use of a client agent that operates in association with the computer and a server client that establishing security parameters, privileges and authorizations for the computer. The invention can prevent access to certain devices according to an active security policy. Any activity of the computer, such as a request to transfer data to an external device, access a particular file, etc. is monitored and controlled by the client agent. No operations or procedures are allowed by the computer inconsistent with the active security policy. The security policy may be set by the administrator of the private network according to the user rights and position in the organization | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090125646 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SECURING INPUT FROM AN EXTERNAL DEVICE TO A HOST - The pureness of a connection between an external device and a host computer can be inspected or monitored to determine the status: connected or disconnected. When it is determined that a disconnection state is entered, an indication can be sent to the host and, in parallel, the data transportation from and/or to the external device may be manipulated. In some embodiments an exemplary connection protector device (CPD) may be added to the connection in between the external device and the host. The CPD can have two connectors one for the host and one for the cable of the external device. The CPD can be adapted to identify any disconnection in the connection with the host and/or the connection with the external device on the other side of the CPD. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090173388 | WATER FLOW SHIELD - A deflector for a shower to direct a flow of water from a shower away from a body, while for example a temperature setting of such water is adjusting. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090187979 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GLOBAL UNIQUE IDENTIFIER, INCLUDING ID DATABASE - An entity can request the generation of a unique identifier to serve as a common identifier for the entity immune to changes in the entities contact information. A data base entry indexed at least in part by the unique identifier can be created for housing further contact information for the entity. The unique identifier can remain a constant focal point for contacting the entity or obtaining contact information about the entity. The entity can update contact information in the data base entry and as such, the unique identifier can be used to access current contact information. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20100077063 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EMULATING A COMPUTING DEVICE - A system apparatus and method for emulating a computing device are provided. Operational parameters of a server may be obtained and provided to an emulating computing device. An emulating device may emulate the server. While being emulated, a server may operate in a reduced functionality mode. Emulation of a server may be transparent to client or other machines associated with an emulated server. Conditions requiring a termination of an emulation of a server may be detected. Upon detecting conditions requiring a termination of an emulation of a server, operational or other parameters may be provided to the server and the server may assume full, or other, operational mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20110029766 | SYSTEM, APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR BIOS LEVEL CONTEXTUAL CONFIGURATION OF RESOURCES - A system and method for a contextual control of resources of a computer. A plurality of detection modules may inform a configuration module of context changes and events. A database may store a plurality of configuration parameters and policies. A configuration module may configure a BIOS of a computer according to events, context and configuration policies. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 02-03-2011 |
