West Corp. Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 5 -- West Corp., Omaha, Neb., has been assigned a patent (8,149,996) developed by Michael Jay Nelson, Louisville, Colo., Thomas LaClair, Longmont, Colo., and David Daniel Wolfe, Lafayette, Colo., for "providing routing information to an answering point of an emergency services network."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Networks, systems, and methods are disclosed for handling alternate routing scenarios for emergency calls or other special number calls, such as a 9-1-1 call. In routing an emergency call, an emergency services network identifies a primary answering point (e.g., a PSAP) to handle the emergency call. If the primary answering point is not available, then the emergency services network identifies an alternate answering point to handle the emergency call, and routes the emergency call to the alternate answering point (if available). The emergency services network also identifies alternate routing information indicating a reason for routing the emergency call to the alternate answering point instead of the primary answering point, and transmits the alternate routing information to the alternate answering point for processing."
The patent application was filed on July 5, 2007 (11/773,519). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,149,996&OS=8,149,996&RS=8,149,996

ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 5 -- Broadcom, Irvine, Calif., has been assigned a patent (8,149,825) developed by Joseph J. Kubler, Boulder, Colo., and Michael D. Morris, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for a "hierarchical data collection network supporting packetized voice communications among wireless terminals and telephones."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A packet-based, hierarchical communication system, arranged in a spanning tree configuration, is described in which wired and wireless communication networks exhibiting substantially different characteristics are employed in an overall scheme to link portable or mobile computing devices. The network accommodates real time voice transmission both through dedicated, scheduled bandwidth and through a packet-based routing within the confines and constraints of a data network. Conversion and call processing circuitry is also disclosed which enables access devices and personal computers to adapt voice information between analog voice stream and digital voice packet formats as proves necessary. Routing pathways include wireless spanning tree networks, wide area networks, telephone switching networks, internet, etc., in a manner virtually transparent to the user. A voice session and associate call setup simulates that of conventional telephone switching network, providing well-understood functionality common to any mobile, remote or stationary terminal, phone, computer, etc."
The patent application was filed on January 16, 2004 (10/760,035). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,149,825&OS=8,149,825&RS=8,149,825
