Patent number: 10673520Abstract: A device can be configured to detect a physical connection with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight controller through an interface. The device can identify a UAV identifier associated with the UAV flight controller and determine, based on the UAV identifier, an application programming interface (API) for communicating with the UAV flight controller. Using the API, the device can establish a communications link with the UAV flight controller and perform an action based on the communications link.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2017Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Warren J. Westrup, Joe Cozzarelli, Eric T. Ringer, Derek Wade Ohlarik, Mauricio Pati Caldeira de Andrada, David B. Murray, X

Patent number: 9883435Abstract: A device may establish a first connection to a first radio access network (RAN) associated with a first radio access technology (RAT). The device may register to receive a call service via the first RAN. The device may receive the call service via the first connection. The device may establish a second connection to a second RAN associated with a second RAT that is different from the first RAT. The device may register to receive the call service via the second RAN. The device may compare a first signal quality metric, associated with the first connection, and a second signal quality metric associated with the second connection. The device may cause the call service to be transferred from the first connection to the second connection, based on comparing the first signal quality metric and the second signal quality metric, without causing an interruption to the call service.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2016Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Derek Wade Ohlarik, Mauricio Pati Caldeira de Andrada, David B.

Patent number: 9668140Abstract: A method for devaluing a lost/stolen mobile device includes: receiving, by a server, a report that a mobile device is lost/stolen; suspending, by the server, a mobile identifier number associated with the mobile device, in response to the report; and transmitting, by the server, via a communication network, the suspended mobile identifier number for storage at another location. Suspending the mobile identifier number includes preventing the lost/stolen mobile device from accessing the communication network. The method includes storing the suspended mobile identifier number in an equipment identity registry database. The method further includes turning OFF Wi-Fi access, in the mobile device, in response to suspending the mobile identifier number by the server.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2013Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Marlene Kay Enright, Balaji L.

Patent number: 9338404Abstract: A device may provide information for a virtual reality environment to a virtual reality device. The virtual reality device may be operated by a first party. The device may determine that the first party of the virtual reality device is placing a call to a second party from within the virtual reality environment. The device may determine connection information associated with the first party and the second party. The device may cause the call to be established between the virtual reality device and a second party device associated with the second party via a telephone network using the connection information and without the second party device connecting to the virtual reality environment. The telephone network may be located external to the virtual reality environment. The second party device may connect to the telephone network without connecting to the virtual reality environment.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2014Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: VERIZON PATENT AND LICENSING INC.Inventors: Christian Egeler, David B.

Publication number: 20150350876Abstract: An application installed on a mobile device currently activated for service with a mobile wireless communication network captures information uniquely identifying a currently unsubscribed mobile device. The unique information may be captured from the currently unsubscribed mobile device via any of several short range transfer mechanisms. The application transfers the captured information and other information used to activate the currently unsubscribed mobile device to an activation service of the mobile wireless communication network, and the service activates the currently unsubscribed mobile device. In another example, a self-activation portal system determines an identifier of an owner of an account associated with an identifier provided by a user of a mobile device to be activated for use with a mobile wireless service. The system sends a message to the account owner offering options to accept or decline the activation request.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2014Publication date: December 3, 2015Applicant: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Mohammad Raheel Khalid, Samir S. Vaidya, Marlene Kay Tan Enright, Shiva Narayanabhatla, David B. Murray, Rosemary McNally, Stephen R. Szabo, Jeffrey Dietel, Erica Ann Martinez, Ji Hoon Kim, Christopher M.

Patent number: 8406761Abstract: A device includes a first type of cellular capability for connecting to a first cellular network and a second type of cellular capability for connecting to a second cellular network. The device terminates advertising of the first type of cellular capability after determining that the device is not initialized. The device also transmits a request to the second cellular network by using the second type of cellular capability; receives a name of a carrier, associated with the device, from a server and via the second cellular network; and initializes the device based on the name of the carrier.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2011Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignees: Cellco Partnership, Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: David B. Murray, David W. Buehler, Jr., Daniel J. Murphy, Lipsa S. Goswamy, Phillip A. Ritter

Patent number: 8135934Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product dynamically allocate limited system memory for direct memory access (DMA) among a plurality of input/output (I/O) adapters in a system partition. Initially a minimum entitlement of I/O entitled memory capacity is allocated to each of the respective multiple I/O adapters. The minimum entitlement enables operation of an I/O adapter driver. Additional entitlement of I/O entitled memory capacity is selectively allocated based upon I/O demands of each I/O adapter.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2009Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Colin R.

Patent number: 4272273Abstract: A glassware forming machine has a blank mold station at which two parisons are formed in mating blank molds and neck molds, the parisons being formed inverted by upwardly moving plungers entering the lower open ends of the parison cavities. A twin plunger mechanism especially suitable for double gob pressing of parisons has the capability for ready removal and replacement of the plunger mechanism for producing glassware on different mold centers. A floating bottom plate is provided on a vertically adjustable foot structure, and the twin plunger mechanism includes upper and lower housing portions readily secured to the bottom plate by locating studs which position the plunger mechanism in the glassware forming machine frame and in accurately indexed relationship to the centerline of the parison cavities at the blank mold station.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 1979Date of Patent: June 9, 1981Assignee: Emhart Industries, Inc.Inventors: Albert J. Trahan, Bruce R. Beckwith, David B. Murray
