  • Patent number: 10038978
    Abstract: Techniques for mobile network geolocation are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system for mobile network geolocation. The system may comprise one or more processors communicatively coupled to a mobile communications network. The one or more processors may be configured to determine that a mobile device is on a travel path. The one or more processors may also be configured to determine one or more candidate locations of the mobile device based on data associated with the travel path. The one or more processors may further be configured to determine at least one candidate route associated with the mobile device along the travel path comprised from one or more candidate locations.

  • Patent number: 9872145
    Abstract: A device may obtain event information regarding a set of user equipment. The device may determine a first location for a particular user equipment, of the set of user equipment, based on the event information and a stored set of parameters. The device may provide information associated with identifying the first location. The device may determine a second location for the particular user equipment based on the information associated with identifying the first location and after determining the first location. The device may provide information associated with identifying the second location. The device may update the stored set of parameters as a set of updated parameters. The device may use the set of updated parameters to determine another location.

  • Patent number: 9584966
    Abstract: A device may be configured to obtain metric information relating to an operating environment. The metric information may describe a signal strength or a signal quality associated with one or more calls placed in the operating environment. The device may be configured to obtain a threshold for the metric information. The device may be configured to determine indoor/outdoor classification information that identifies whether the one or more calls are classified as an indoor call or an outdoor call or an unclassified call based on whether the metric information satisfies the threshold. The device may be configured to determine geolocation information identifying one or more geographical locations associated with the one or more calls. The device may be configured to provide the indoor/outdoor classification information and the geolocation information.

  • Publication number: 20080128970
    Abstract: An object handling system for and a method of handling objects from object carriers supporting objects, the handling system comprising: a support platform; at least one carrier holder disposed to the support platform and being configured to receive an object carrier supporting objects; at least one analysis station at which objects are analyzed; an object handler comprising a positioning mechanism operable to provide for positioning in a region above the support platform, and a tool assembly attached to the positioning mechanism and being movable thereby, wherein the tool assembly comprises a sensor tool which, in a carrier-sensing mode, is utilized in identifying any object carrier as supported by the at least one carrier holder, and a holding tool which, in an object-transfer mode, is utilized to hold an object at least in transferring the same between the at least one carrier holder and the at least one analysis station; and a control unit for controlling operation of the handling system.
