Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100220846SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECONNECTING A DEVICE TO A GROUP CALL - A system and method for reestablishing a voice communications session moderated by a group call server between two or more telephony devices. The method is performed by a processor monitoring the communications session. The method comprises: storing one or more data records representing group call information; detecting disconnection of at least one participating telephony device from the group communications session, and determining that the disconnection was not intentionally initiated; accessing the stored call group information data and causing signals to enable reestablishment of participation by the disconnected device to be sent to the disconnected device; and upon receipt by the group call server from the disconnected device of signals representing a request to reconnect the disconnected device, outputting command signals for reestablishing a communications session between the disconnected device and at least one other device participating in the group communications session.09-02-2010

20110065417METHOD AND APPARATUS TO CONTROL THE USE OF APPLICATIONS ON HANDHELD DEVICES BASED ON NETWORK SERVICE - A method and apparatus to control the use of applications on handheld device is based on network service, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a network identifier; correlating the network identifier with application and/or feature limitations stored on the mobile device; and limiting application usage based on the results of such correlating step.03-17-2011
20110136549SYSTEM, METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MAINTAINING A COMMUNICATION SESSION SUSPENDED FOR SERVICING OF POWER SUPPLY - Systems, methods and programmed instructions are disclosed useful for maintaining a communication session previously established between a first telephony device and at least one second telephony device while a power supply of the first telephony device is serviced.06-09-2011
20110164740METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED CONFERENCE CALL SECURITY - A method for controlling access by of communication devices to a conference call, the method comprising associating proximity settings with a conference call, the proximity settings indicating a acceptable proximity of other communication devices relative to a selected communication device; sensing by the selected communication device proximity of the other devices within its proximity of the communication device to obtain proximity information; and determining, by a processor, from the obtained proximity information and the proximity settings an action to be performed with reference to the conference call.07-07-2011
20110164741METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED CONFERENCE CALL SECURITY - A method for controlling access, of a communication device, to a conference call, the method comprising determining contextual attributes related to the device, evaluating the contextual attributes against a set of access requirements and connecting the device to the conference call if one or more of the access requirements is satisfied.07-07-2011
20110165858METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONFERENCE CALL SECURITY OVERRIDE - A method for controlling access to a conference call, the method comprising authenticating a mobile device in accordance with access requirements for the conference call rejecting the mobile device if the participant does not comply with the access requirements in response to the rejection, determining by a processor based on information other than said access requirements that the mobile device is legitimate and overriding the rejection to allow connection to the conference call if it is determined that the mobile device is legitimate.07-07-2011
20110216674SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING TRANSFERRING OF CONFERENCE CALLS USING MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICES - Systems and methods for facilitating transferring of a conference call. In some embodiments, users of a secure mobile device may be provided with the ability to transfer a media session for use in a conference call to a non-secure communication device. The method may include displaying a user interface on the primary communication device, the user interface including a transfer option, receiving a command selecting the transfer option, sending a transfer request from the primary communication device to the conference call controller to link an alternate communication device within the conference call session, and determining whether the transfer request requires authentication, and if so performing authentication of the transfer request.09-08-2011

20090328250EXPRESSION OF TGF-BETA IN PLASTIDS - Provided is a method for the expression of a TGF-β in a plant. A chimeric nucleic acid sequence comprising: (1) a first nucleic acid sequence capable of regulating the transcription in a plant cell of (2) a second nucleic acid sequence, encoding a TGF-β, and adapted for expression in the plant cell; and (3) a third nucleic acid sequence encoding a termination region functional in said plant cell is introduced into a plant cell and the plant cell grown to produce TGF-β. The nucleic acid sequence may preferably be adapted for expression in a plant chloroplast. It is preferred that the TGF-β is TGF-β3, whether full length or in the form of an active fragment.12-31-2009

20110101823ACTUATOR - The invention provides an actuator for an electric motor and an electric motor including said actuator. The actuator includes one or more body formed from a dielectric elastomer, each body having at least one active region that is directly or indirectly coupled to a drive means. The active regions are arranged such that, in use, actuation thereof causes driven means to move with components in at least first and second directions, preferably within a plane of the body.05-05-2011
