20130193261 | Sanitary roll paper towel holder - This invention solves some critical issues of contamination and waste of paper taken from a roll of paper towels for cleaning. Two hands are required to remove a sheet, one to restrain the roll and the other to pull the sheet away The hand restraining the roll will leave contamination, exposing others to bacteria. Users will consume more paper than is required to get a clean sheet. This invention solves the problem using a self adjusting vertical clamp bar to restrain the roll, that is held on a vertical post, and horizontal base, eliminating the need to use a second contaminated hand. The clamp bar will self adjust to roll size as sheets are removed. | 08-01-2013 |

Processing the network packet includes the physical NIC comparing the network packet with the flow table(s) at the physical NIC. When the network packet matches with a flow in the flow table(s) at the physical NIC, the physical NIC performs an action on the network packet based on the matching flow. Alternatively, when the network packet does not match with a flow in the flow table(s) at the physical NIC, the physical NIC passes the network packet to the host partition for processing against the rule set(s). | 09-26-2013 |

20120220320 | Alphanumeric address mapping for non-homogeneous short message networks - Text messages with alphanumeric addresses are delivered to mobiles and external short message entities (ESMEs) which do not support alphanumeric addressing, providing meaningful fallback handling. Additionally, the invention enables delivery of SMPP messages from ESME or SMPP networks which can only originate numeric addresses, yet provide for mapping to alphanumeric addresses for delivery to the mobile. A two-way mapping is provided between alphanumeric addresses and SMS short-codes to enable delivery of text messages with alphanumeric addressing in networks which contain mobiles and/or ESME's that lack support of alphanumeric addressing. An ESME can send a text message using an alphanumeric origination address, without knowing which handsets support the capability, and which do not, or whether handsets are on CDMA, or GSM, or UMTS, or networks, or can continue to send using a numeric origination address. The SMSC provides conversions to alphanumeric addresses on behalf of the ESME and the mobile. | 08-30-2012 |

When an SMSC receives an SMS message destined to a trigger address, identifying a PDL, the SMSC copies the originally transmitted text message for every recipient in the list. The SMSC subsequently routes each duplicate text message to every address contained within the indicated PDL, via conventional SMS procedures. Syntax indicating list management operations (e.g., add, delete, list entries, and delete, synch, and/or tag entire list) may be indicated in the body of an SMS message addressed to the local address of the SMSC for list management capabilities. | 11-29-2012 |
20130045711 | Prepaid Short Message Services Revenue Capture - A prepaid messaging solution that utilizes a pre-delivery debit query to tariff a short message, coupled with an additional debit query performed once necessary billing information has been acquired.

This subsequent debit query bills a subscriber for any additional service fees discovered throughout message delivery, e.g., international/roaming fees, etc. If either the pre-delivery debit query or the subsequent debit query indicates that a subscriber has insufficient account balance to deliver a short message, the message is prevented from being delivered. If a message is dropped due to lack of account balance, any funds debited throughout the attempted message delivery may be credited back to the subscriber's prepaid account. | 02-21-2013 |

20140067686 | Pre-Downloading Digital Content to Client Devices - Content is pre-downloaded to a client device used by user. The pre-downloaded content is received and stored at the client device and has an access restriction to prevent the user from consuming the pre-downloaded content. The client device interacts with the user to facilitate purchase transactions for the pre-downloaded content. After the pre-downloaded content is purchased, the client device removes the access restriction to allow the user to consume the pre-downloaded content on the client device. Pre-downloading digital content allows the user, for example, to access the pre-downloaded content without needing to download the content at the time of purchase. | 03-06-2014 |

20130060895 | Asynchronous Messaging Using A Node Specialization Architecture in the Dynamic Routing Network - A network routes update messages containing updates to properties of live objects from input sources to clients having the objects. When the clients receive live objects, the clients identify the object IDs associated with the objects and register the object IDs with the routing network. The routing network is adapted to selectively send update messages to nodes in the network and the nodes forward the messages to the clients. One implementation uses a hierarchy of registries to indicate which nodes and clients receive which update messages. Another implementation assigns update messages to one or more of N categories and nodes to one or more of M types, and the gateways maintain mapping between categories and types. To ensure that clients receive all of the update messages for which they register, the clients connect to client proxies that in turn connect to at least one node of each type. | 03-07-2013 |
