| 20080228883 | Methods, Systems, and Products for Indicating Receipt of Electronic Mail - Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for delivering an indication of an email message's arrival. The email message is received and identifies at least an addressee. The addressee is looked up in a database that associates multiple addressees to a shared Internet Protocol address. The shared Internet Protocol address is retrieved and a message is sent to the shared Internet Protocol address. The message identifies the addressee of the email message and includes instructions for indicating arrival of the message at the addressee. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080244026 | Real-Time Notification of Presence Changes - Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for providing presence and availability status information of a first user to a second user. The system includes a presence availability server for storing presence and availability status information of the first user. The presence availability server is configured to detect a change in the presence and availability status of the first user. The presence availability server also informs a notification server of a change in the presence and availability status of the first user. The notification server sends a notification message to a communication device of the second user. The notification message contains current presence and availability status information of the first user. Other systems and methods are also provided. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090180604 | Methods, Systems, and Products for Redirecting Calls - Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for processing a call. When the call is received, processing of the call is suspended. A database is queried for a calling number and a called number associated with the call. A network address associated with the calling number and with the called number. An intended recipient of the call is also retrieved from the database. A notification message is sent to the network address, and the notification message includes the calling number and the intended recipient of the call. Processing of the call is resumed. | 07-16-2009 |

| 20080212486 | Checking of broadband network components - Systems and methods for checking broadband network components are provided in which an automated interactive system permits a field technician to check various conditions of a communication line or other broadband network components without the assistance of a support technician. While options to request assistance from a support technician are provided, the automated interactive system permits the field technician to perform various functions on a communication line without additional assistance, especially for routine tasks. The automated interactive system, therefore, removes efficiencies that may be associated with conventional approaches for checking broadband network components. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20090067613 | Method and Apparatus for Routing Calls Based on the Identification of the Calling Party or Calling Line - A method and apparatus for routing calls for a subscriber based on the identification of the calling party or the originating line. Generally, the present invention operates to identify a calling party or originating line and then select a routing list based on this identification. Once a routing list has been selected, the call will be routed to the destination in the routing list. More specifically, when a call is received, an inquiry is made regarding the identity of the calling party or calling line. If the identification can be determined, then an attempt to retrieve a routing list associated with this identification is made. If a routing list has been provided for the identified party or line, the routing list will be retrieved. If a routing list has not been provided for the identified party or line, a default routing list will be selected for routing the call. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090147792 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR MANAGING QUALITY OF SERVICE, SESSION AUTHENTICATION AND/OR BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION IN A REGIONAL/ACCESS NETWORK (RAN) - Quality of Service (QoS) and/or bandwidth allocation is managed in a Regional/Access Network (RAN) that provides end-to-end transport between a Network Service Provider (NSP) and/or an Application Service Provider (ASP), and a Customer Premises Network (CPN) that includes a Routing Gateway (RG). A first subsystem is configured to manage QoS and/or bandwidth allocation for an access session in the CPN. A second subsystem is configured to manage QoS and/or bandwidth allocation for an application flow in the CPN. Thus, the RAN can independently manage QoS, session authentication and/or bandwidth allocation for an access session and for an application flow. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20110116461 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR ALLOCATING DIFFERENT QUALITY OF SERVICE/BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION TO SUBSCRIBERS HAVING DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE FOR INTERACTIVE GAMING - Quality of Service (QoS) and/or bandwidth allocation can be provided for interactive gaming via a Regional/Access Network (RAN). The RAN can provide end-to-end transport between a Gaming Application Service Provider (GASP) and a Customer Premises Network (CPN) that includes a Routing Gateway (RG). Quality of Service (QoS) and/or bandwidth allocation can be provided by determining different levels of subscription service for different subscribers to an interactive game between a plurality of participants. Different QoS and/or bandwidth allocations can be provided to different gaming traffic flows associated with the different subscribers to the interactive game based on the different levels of subscription service of the different subscribers. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20080278396 | Worm Gear Azimuth Adjustment of a Parabolic Antenna - According to the invention, a system for changing the azimuth direction of a parabolic antenna is disclosed. The system may include a support member, a first gear set, and a rotational motion source. The support member may be coupled with a surface and the first gear set may include a worm gear and a first worm. The first worm may engage the worm gear, which may have a substantially vertical axis. The support member and the parabolic antenna may be operably coupled with the first gear set. The first rotational motion source may be operably coupled with the first worm, and the parabolic antenna may rotate about the substantially vertical axis when the first rotational motion source is active. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20080278404 | Worm Gear Elevation Adjustment of a Parabolic Dish - According to the invention, a system for changing the elevation angle of a parabolic antenna is disclosed. The system may include a support member, a first gear set, and a first rotational motion source. The first gear set may include a worm gear and a first worm. The first worm may engage the worm gear which may have a substantially horizontal axis. The support member and the parabolic antenna may be operably coupled with the first gear set. The first rotational motion source may be operably coupled with the first worm, and the parabolic antenna may rotate about the substantially horizontal axis when the first rotational motion source is active. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090058745 | Roller Based Antenna Positioner - According to the invention, a system for positioning an antenna is disclosed. The system may include an antenna, a first substantially circular track, a base, and a first plurality of rollers. The first substantially circular track may be coupled with the antenna. Each of the first plurality of rollers may be coupled with the base. Each of the first plurality of rollers may be in contact with the first substantially circular track. Each of the first plurality of rollers may rotate when the first substantially circular track rotates. | 03-05-2009 |
