20090179673 | DELAY STABILIZATION FOR SKEW TOLERANCE - In an integrated circuit with at least two separate timing circuits, for example both a serializer and a deserializer, a trim value correction factor is developed and applied at the testing of the chip. The correction trim value brings the VCO frequency of the serializer into specifications, but the trim value may also be used to alter the delay between a received clock and data in the deserializer. Since both the serializer and the deserializer were made with the same process, the received clock delay may be corrected by substantially the same correction factor as that applied to the VCO. Illustratively the trim values may be stored on the IC. | 07-16-2009 |

20120127882 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENABLING RECIPROCAL BILLING FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMMUNICATIONS OVER A PACKET NETWORK - A system and method for determining inter-carrier network usage may be used. The method may include determining network usage of a first packet network managed by a first communications carrier by subscribers of a second communications carrier that manages a second packet network. The network usage may distinguish communications of data packets including real-time content and non-real-time content. Network usage of the second packet network by subscribers of the first communications subscriber may be determined. A network usage differential between the determined usages of the first and second packet networks may be determined, where the network usage information may distinguish communications of data packets including real-time and non-real-time content. | 05-24-2012 |

20090318140 | System and Method for Enhanced Automatic Roaming - A system and method for automatically roaming with a wireless device. A signal strength of a first wireless signal is sampled at a time interval. A determination is made whether the signal strength is less than a threshold for a predetermined duration. The wireless device is set to roam on a second wireless signal in response to the signal strength of the first wireless signal being less than the threshold for the predetermined duration. The wireless device is reset to a default setting for communication after a predetermined duration. | 12-24-2009 |

20120212567 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR MULTI-LINGUAL SUPPORT FOR HEARING IMPAIRED COMMUNICATION - Methods and apparatuses for automated multi-lingual support are described herein. A relay service provides translation services between a hearing-impaired user and a hearing-capable user. The relay service includes a database with one or more entries. Each of the one or more entries is associated with a contact of the hearing-impaired user and includes one or more connection indicators for the contact and one or more spoken languages for the contact. A profile system determines an identified entry in the database using a calling connection indicator associated with the hearing-capable user to compare with the one or more connection indicators. A call distribution system establishes a calling connection over a voice-capable network with the calling connection indicator associated with the hearing-capable user and routes the calling connection to a translator capable in the one or more spoken languages associated with the hearing-capable user determined from the identified entry. | 08-23-2012 |

20120056572 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR SYNCHRONIZED DISTRIBUTED CONTROLLERS - Intelligent servomotor controller, including integrated servomotor controller having motor with rotor in first housing; rotor position encoder producing measured position of rotor; microprocessor within second housing mating to first housing, electrically connected to rotor position encoder, serial communications port connecting to another integrated servomotor controller communicating desired rotor position command using serial digital data, microprocessor having software receiving desired position commands through communications port, computing error between desired position command and encoder-transmitted measured rotor reducing error signals to zero. Microprocessor is a position based servo system within second housing and rotor within first housing to desired position defined by communication with another integrated servo element. Microprocessor produces actuation signal to direct PID filter connected to microprocessor, PID filter providing drive amplifier servo control of supplying current to the motor. Cooperative communication facilitates synchronized action with integrated servo element. Embodiments also include method of operating IISMC group, including setting combined path target acceleration for IISMC; setting combined target velocity for IISMC; setting individual target position for IISMC; and initiating synchronized motion in the IISMC. | 03-08-2012 |
