Appl. No.:

09/404515

Inventors:

Stephen Bennett Elliott - Allen TX

Assignee:

Nortel Networks Limited - St. Laurent

International Classification:

G06F 300

US Classification:

345733, 345740, 345751, 709201, 709203

Abstract:

The present invention installs an IP intranet functionality in a Mobile Switching Center for supporting wireless data and multimedia services within an operator community of interest. An IP network is introduced between a multimedia device and the Internet. The intranet provides a subnetwork and service context for wireless telco operators. Upon initiation of a service session by a multimedia terminal, the Mobile Switching Center presents the subscriber with an operator âintranet homepageâ that serves as the primary navigator and launch pad for traversing the operator intranet or for launching a session on the Internet. If the initiating device is a voice only terminal, the Mobile Switching Center enables connection to another voice only terminal as usual.

Appl. No.:

09/309722

Inventors:

Stephen Bennett Elliott - Allen TX

Assignee:

Nortel Networks Limited - St. Laurent

International Classification:

H04L 1266

US Classification:

370354, 375222, 379 9334

Abstract:

As a telecommunications device goes off-hook a simultaneous connection is made to a local exchange and a data network removing the necessity to dial, or input numbers to access the data network. Upon connection to the local data network, a modem tone is returned to the telecom device. Connection to the local exchange causes a dial tone to be returned to the DSLAM in the local change. The device receives the modem tone, the dial tone is blocked by the DSLAM and a data communication session begins. If the device transmits DTMF signals within 20 seconds, the call reverts to a standard switched call, dropping the connection with the local data network. If no DTMF signals are sent within 20 seconds, the DSLAM releases the connection with the local Exchange and the data communications session continues.

Nortel Networks Limited - St. Laurent

International Classification:

H04L 1228

US Classification:

370396, 3703956, 37039561, 955403, 955428

Abstract:

An ATM edge switch incorporating wireless and wireline voice and data functions is utilized to provide an integrating point for wireless and wireline communications. Functions included in the ATM edge switch are: a voice services function for voice processing functions, element management function for real time management of resources required for call processing, a call processing function for supporting calls, a mobility manager function providing access to Home Location Register/Visitor Location Register (HLR/VLR) and a network access function to consolidate traffic to and from access devices and to interface the access devices to an ATM communications network fabric.

International Classification:

H04J003/16
H04J003/22

US Classification:

370466, 370467, 370395

Abstract:

An asynchronous transfer mode infrastructure is integrated with the communications network. The asynchronous transfer mode infrastructure is composed of an asynchronous transfer mode fabric and asynchronous transfer mode gateway. Wireless and wireline data are linked to the communications network via the asynchronous transfer mode infrastructure, such that all wireless and wireline data transactions within the communications network are processed independently of any switching devices present within the communications network. Wireless and wireline data is transmitted to and from the communications network via a network access function that allows wireless and wireline data to flow to and from the communications network. The wireless and wireline data is converted within the network access function in response to transmittal of the wireless and wireline data to the network access function. The wireless and wireline data is then transferred to the asynchronous transfer mode infrastructure from the network access function.

Appl. No.:

10/384047

Inventors:

Stephen Bennett Elliott - Allen TX, US

Assignee:

Nortel Networks Limited - St. Laurent

International Classification:

H04M 3/42

US Classification:

37920102, 37920103, 37920702

Abstract:

The present invention provides a service node capable of coordinating call processing for incoming calls intended for any one of multiple telephony devices of a given entity, such as a business or individual user. Switching devices, such as traditional telephony switches or internetworked gateways controlling call routing, are configured to interact with the service node to determine how to handle incoming calls to the telephony devices that they serve. Through a variety of techniques, the entity can dynamically instruct the service node how to route incoming calls, and preferably, upon putting those instructions into effect, the service node will send an alert to the entity. The instructions are used by the service node to create call processing rules for the switching devices to apply to an incoming call intended for any of the entity's telephony devices.

Appl. No.:

10/802456

Inventors:

Stephen Bennett Elliott - Allen TX, US

Assignee:

Coherence LLC - Allen TX

International Classification:

A61M 21/00

US Classification:

600 27, 600 26, 600 28

Abstract:

The invention consists of a broad method of presenting audible and visual cues for synchronizing the breathing cycle with an external timing reference for purposes of synchronizing the heart rate variability cycle with the breathing cycle, thereby achieving coherence of the heart rate variability cycle. A family of audible and visual indicators is specified for purposes of communicating breathing phase, change of breathing phase, progression of time within a phase, and progression of the phase relative to the internal perception of the practitioner.

US Classification:

600 28, 600484, 128905, 84652

Abstract:

A broad method consisting of the composition and creation of music wherein musical cues are contained for the purpose of synchronizing the breathing cycle with a 5. 88 second musical interval for the purpose of synchronizing the heart rate variability cycle with the breathing cycle. The method wherein a 5. 88 second interval is incorporated into musical composition for the purpose of producing said music and the identification and incorporation of 21 novel tempos as the basis of producing said interval. Also addressed is the method and system of incorporating the 21 novel tempos into metronomes and music synthesizers for the purpose of producing said tempos and music of said tempos, respectively.
