The method then completes a service feature associated with the service logic and data in the communication network. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100111078 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING CUSTOMER PREMISE PUBLIC BRANCH EXCHANGE SERVICE FEATURE PROCESSING - A method and apparatus for enabling customer premise Public Branch eXchange (PBX) service feature processing to be performed in a service provider network are disclosed. For example, the method receives a signaling message associated with a user by an application server deployed in a communication network, and accesses a customer premise Internet Protocol (IP) Public Branch eXchange (PBX) to retrieve customer premise IP PBX based service logic and data associated with the user by the application server. The method forwards an updated signaling message by the application server to a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) network element for completing a service feature associated with the service logic and data in the communication network. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100111079 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NETWORK BASED FIXED MOBILE CONVERGENCE - A method and apparatus for providing a network based Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) service are disclosed. For example, the method receives a NB-FMC call request originating from a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) NB-FMC endpoint device or a non-SIP NB-FMC endpoint device, and processes the NB-FMC call request using a single hosted NB-FMC Application Server (AS). | 05-06-2010 |
| 20130010772 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING REGISTRATION OF ENDPOINT DEVICES THROUGH PROVISIONING - A method and apparatus for enabling registration of an endpoint device that is incapable of supporting a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) registration are disclosed. For example, the method performs a static registration of the endpoint device in a plurality network elements associated with an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network by provisioning that is initiated by a service provider of the IMS network. The method processes an originating call request or a terminating call request associated with the endpoint device by an Application Server (AS) using the static registration, wherein the application server is one of the plurality network elements. | 01-10-2013 |
| 20130089014 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NETWORK BASED FIXED MOBILE CONVERGENCE - A method and apparatus for providing a network based Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) service are disclosed. For example, the method receives a NB-FMC call request originating from a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) NB-FMC endpoint device or a non-SIP NB-FMC endpoint device, and processes the NB-FMC call request using a single hosted NB-FMC Application Server (AS). | 04-11-2013 |
| 20130089088 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING CUSTOMER PREMISES PUBLIC BRANCH EXCHANGE SERVICE FEATURE PROCESSING - A method and apparatus for enabling customer premise Public Branch eXchange (PBX) service feature processing to be performed in a service provider network are disclosed. For example, the method receives a signaling message associated with a user, and accesses a customer premise Internet Protocol (IP) Public Branch eXchange (PBX) to retrieve customer premise IP PBX based service logic and data associated with the user by a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) network element. The method then completes a service feature associated with the service logic and data in the communication network. | 04-11-2013 |

| 20100200827 | FENCE/RAIL ASSEMBLY WITH CONCEALED SLIDING, PIVOTAL CONNECTION, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR - A fencing/railing assembly adapted to be positioned between a pair of posts and mounted thereto. The assembly includes a plurality of pickets, a plurality of rails extending transverse to the pickets, and one or more pivoting, sliding connectors for connecting a picket to a rail, with the sliding, pivotal connection concealed by the rail. The connector is slidably mounted to the rail and is pivotally connected to the picket. The sliding, pivotal connection allows the pickets to be oriented at greater angles relative to the rails (i.e. it allows the assembly to rack to a greater degree, thereby allowing the fencing/raining to following more-steeply changing terrain or contours). In one embodiment, an elongated connector strip is concealed by the rail and spans multiple pickets. In another embodiment, the assembly includes a plurality of shorter connectors, one for each picket/rail connection. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100264388 | METAL FENCE ASSEMBLY AND METHOD - A fencing assembly is adapted to be positioned between a pair of posts and mounted to the posts.
