Law Firm: Lee Hayes, P.C. (6 non-local offices)
Application No., Date, Speed: 17526754 on 11/15/2021 (1450 days app to issue)

Abstract: Systems and methods are discussed herein for an optimal approach for wireless emergency alerting within cells of wireless communication networks by using a careful estimation of a ”true effective radius” of each cell/sector to eliminate broadcasts falling short of alert area boundaries (with users in such gaps in coverage not receiving an alert despite being in the designated alert area). By utilizing true provisioning information of each cell/sector that is at least partly within the alert area boundaries to understand the true effective radii of particular cell sectors can be selected for broadcast of the alert such that the entire alert area is covered for broadcasting of the alert without excessive over-broadcasting, e.g., broadcasting excessively beyond the alert area boundaries. Alerts can then be broadcast within each selected cell sector.

Law Firm: bobharter.com (Local + 4395 other metros)
Application No., Date, Speed: 19080819 on 03/15/2025 (234 days app to issue)

Abstract: An aerial valve for a liquid container (e.g., a bag or a tank) suspended or otherwise carried by a firefighting aircraft includes an axially compressible tubular diaphragm. To open and close the valve, a motorized leadscrew raises and lowers a flow stopper relative to a discharge opening. The tubular diaphragm creates an air chamber above the flow stopper, so the full weight of the liquid in the container is not bearing down against the flow stopper. Thus, less force is needed to lift the flow stopper from its closed position, making the valve easier to open. Some examples of the aerial valve include features that make it wear resistant, easy to service, reprogram remotely, inexpensive to ship, and useful as a replacement for existing valves.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for automatically determining when voltage and current levels occur when a DC input of a radio is drawing substantially constant power through electrical conductors from a DC voltage converter. Such voltage and current level occurring when such power draw is substantially constant can then be used to determine a resistance of the electrical conductors. Subsequently, the resistance can be used to vary an output voltage of the DC voltage converter when the power draw, and thus the direct current drawn through the electrical conductors, varies.

Abstract: A streaming engine employed in a digital data processor specifies a fixed read only data stream defined by plural nested loops. An address generator produces address of data elements. A steam head register stores data elements next to be supplied to functional units for use as operands. Upon a stream break instruction specifying one of the nested loops, the stream engine ends a current iteration of the loop. If the specified loop was not the outermost loop, the streaming engine begins an iteration of a next outer loop. If the specified loop was the outermost nested loop, the streaming engine ends the stream. The streaming engine places a vector of data elements in order in lanes within a stream head register. A stream break instruction is operable upon a vector break.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing a data processing system are disclosed. The data processing system may provide computer-implemented services and may include in-band hardware resources that operate as specified by operation data of the data processing system while providing the services. However, if the operation data becomes unavailable to the data processing system, then the data processing system may be unable to provide the desired services. Therefore, to increase the likelihood of providing the desired services, the operation data may be managed using distributed backup and recovery processes. To decrease security risk associated with operation data backup and recovery, the distributed processes may be performed using out-of-band components of the data processing system, bypassing in-band hardware components that may be more vulnerable to being compromised (e.g., by a malicious party). The out-of-band management of the operation data may reduce the likelihood of interruptions in providing the desired services.
