20090080343 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MAINTAINING DIVERSITY FOR TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES - Diversity among telecommunications circuits is maintained by analyzing factors including whether synchronization leads are shared by diverse circuits, whether violations of diversity are brought about by new orders that have been placed, and whether improper personnel have been assigned to monitor diverse circuits. Diversity is further maintained by reporting within a graphical user interface those circuits that are subject to diversity and reporting violations of diversity that exist for those circuits. The graphical user interface may provide various controls for dictating which violations are displayed for which circuits. Additionally, diversity is maintained by providing search options that allow the circuits subject to diversity to be narrowed depending upon user-specified criteria. | 03-26-2009 |

20120226862 | EVENT TRANSPORT SYSTEM - A method for communicating events from an event source to an event consumer is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such a method includes monitoring an event generation rate associated with an event source. The method further determines if the event generation rate exceeds a threshold rate. Upon receiving an event from the event source, the method generates a condensed version of the event if the event generation rate exceeds the threshold rate. The method then communicates the condensed version to an event consumer. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed. | 09-06-2012 |

20150048640 | EXTERNAL CONDENSER AND LIGHT ASSEMBLY - The present invention relates generally to an external condenser and light assembly and, more particularly, to an improved external air conditioning condenser and housing that is designed to additionally serve as a light assembly for an emergency vehicle. The condenser housing is mounted to the exterior of the emergency vehicle, which improves the performance of the emergency vehicle's air-conditioning system. The design of the condenser housing also allows it to serve as a light assembly on which emergency vehicle lights are mounted. The condenser housing and light assembly structure thereby provides for proper air conditioning functionality without occupying space on the exterior of the vehicle that would more preferably be occupied by emergency lighting. | 02-19-2015 |

20130311354 | PRODUCT LEASING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A computerized system and method for leasing products includes defining a lease of an item, for example, an electronics product. The system includes a computer database that tracks product and service items, the cost for leasing of the items, and the cost to provide updates for product items. The bundled products and services are leased at a predetermined rate calculated using the database of the computerized system. At the option of the lessee, each product may be upgraded to a newer version of the original product in the same product class. The rate does not change over the course of the lease term. In the disclosed embodiment, the upgrade product is not identified in the lease because it is not available for sale or lease at the start of the lease term. | 11-21-2013 |
