20100067675 | METHODS, SYSTEMS AND STORAGE MEDIUMS FOR PROVIDING A SELF-PROVISIONING TELEPHONY SERVICE - Methods, systems, and storage mediums for implementing self-provisioning telephony services are provided. A method includes storing an access number at a service control server that services a local exchange carrier switch. The method also includes assigning a toll-free number to a customer account and distributing the toll-free number and access number to the corresponding customer. The method further includes receiving, at the local exchange carrier switch, a call from a customer, the call identified as the access number. The method also includes routing the call to a server and, absent human intervention, the server accessing the toll-free number identified for the customer account and generating a provisioning order that includes a customer telephone number from the customer account and the toll-free number. The method also includes transmitting the provisioning order to the service control server, the service control server activating the toll-free number for the customer account. | 03-18-2010 |
20120288078 | METHODS, SYSTEMS AND STORAGE MEDIUMS FOR PROVIDING A SELF-PROVISIONING TELEPHONY SERVICE - A self-provisioning telephony service includes assigning a toll-free telephone number to a customer account for a customer of a telecommunications provider, distributing the toll-free telephone number and an access number to the customer along with an invitation to provision a toll-free telephone number service, and receiving, at a local exchange carrier switch, a call from the customer. The access number is identified by the local exchange carrier switch for the call in response to performing a call number translation. The telephony service also includes accessing, by a server, the toll-free telephone number identified for the customer account and generating a provisioning order that includes a customer telephone number from the customer account and the toll-free telephone number. The telephony service further includes transmitting the provisioning order to a service control server, the service control server activating the toll-free telephone number for the customer account. | 11-15-2012 |

20110008637 | METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF OPTICAL BRIGHTENING AGENTS - The invention provides a more effective optical brightener composition for coating paper substrates. The invention includes an optical brightening agent (OBA) and a glycerol based polymer. This combination results in a composition that provides a surprisingly large whitening effect and does not degrade the shade of the paper. As a result extremely high degrees of whiteness can be achieved without being frustrated by the greening effect. | 01-13-2011 |
20110151151 | METHOD OF PRODUCING A PRINT MEDIUM - The present invention relates to a method for producing a print medium with enhanced whiteness and print quality. The method comprises applying a surface treatment composition of a general formula C | 06-23-2011 |
20110174455 | COMPOSITIONS AND PROCESSES FOR PAPER PRODUCTION - Oxidative compositions and processes that preserve and enhance the brightness and improve color of pulp or paper when applied during different stages of the papermaking process are identified. The oxidative composition and method maintains and/or enhances brightness, prevents yellowing, and enhances the performance of paper products. Used in combination with optical brighteners and/or chelants the oxidative agents produce a synergistic effect not previously identified in the paper process. | 07-21-2011 |
20130059949 | PREFLOCCULATION OF FILLERS USED IN PAPERMAKING - A method of preparing a stable dispersion of flocculated filler particles for use in papermaking processes comprises use of microparticle prior to, simultaneous to, and/or after addition of a first flocculating agent to an aqueous dispersion of filler particles, followed by addition of a second flocculating agent to the dispersion and further optional shearing of the resultant filler flocs to the desired particle size resulting in shear resistant filler flocs with a defined and controllable size distribution. In addition, a neutralizing coagulant can be added to the dispersion to partially or completely neutralize the charge of the filler before the microparticle and/or the first flocculating agent is added. | 03-07-2013 |
