  • Publication number: 20240187439
    Abstract: Systems and methods for proactively monitoring the inherent cyber-tech risk of software and hardware components are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for proactively monitoring a cyber risk of a computer program may include: (1) receiving, by a product/version risk assessment computer program executed by an electronic device and from a user computer program executed by a use electronic device, an identification of a plurality of proposed components to include in the computer program; (2) retrieving, by the product/version risk assessment computer program, vulnerability information for each of the plurality of proposed components, wherein the vulnerability information identifies a security vulnerability for the proposed component; (3) generating, by a product/version risk scoring computer program, a risk score for the computer program under development based on the vulnerability information; and (4) returning, by the vulnerability assessment computer program, the risk score to the user computer program.

  • Publication number: 20040162095
    Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium for facilitating call setup on a wireless device is disclosed. The method on a push-to-talk wireless device includes receiving a talk request from a user of the wireless device. The method further includes receiving and storing audio in memory. The method further includes initiating a connection setup procedure with a wireless network and receiving a message from the wireless network indicating establishment of a connection. The method further includes transmitting to the wireless network the audio stored in the memory of the wireless device, wherein the step of receiving audio from the user occurs before the step of receiving a message from the wireless network.

  • Patent number: 6453154
    Abstract: A moveable antenna system with a position sensor circuit and a circuit which transmits the position sensing data and the radio frequency (RF) on the same wire. The position sensor comprises a sensing pin and a sense track concentric with the coaxial cable for the RF signal. When the antenna is in the preferred position for transmission, the sensing pin is in contact with the sense track, thus closing a switch, allowing the unit to transmit RF signals. Otherwise, the sensing pin is not in contact with the sense track, preventing any transmission of data. The signal that results from the opening and closing of the switch is carried on the same transmission line as the RF signal. This is accomplished by using capacitors to block direct current (DC) from the transmission line and using resistors and shunt capacitors to prevent any leakage of RF signals onto the sensing circuit.
