Patent number: 10707562Abstract: An antenna's resonance frequency is detuned when a part of a human body approaches or contacts the antenna and consequently results in efficiency loss. The antenna may be tuned by changing its total load capacitance such that the antenna's total load capacitance falls within a reference capacitance range of a reference capacitance, where the antenna can operate at or near its pre-determined operating resonance frequency. A tunable capacitor may be coupled to the antenna for tuning the total load capacitance of the antenna.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2015Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Futurewei Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ping Shi, Navid Nader

Patent number: 10462725Abstract: A system and method for improving the user experience with a mobile wireless device by reconnecting to a faster speed connection after being rejected for the higher speed by an overloaded cell before expiration of a de-prioritization timer when the mobile wireless device travels away from the overloaded cell. In an embodiment, a method includes receiving from the first cell a connection rejection instructing the mobile wireless device to de-prioritize one or more frequencies of the first connection technology and a de-prioritization timer indicating a time period for the frequencies to remain de-prioritized; determining that the mobile wireless device has left the coverage area of the first cell; and connecting to a second cell of the telecommunication network via a connection in the one or more frequencies of the first connection technology prior to the expiration of the de-prioritization timer.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2016Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Futurewei Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Julia Wang, Navid Nader, Zhiping Jia

Publication number: 20190297394Abstract: An apparatus includes a sensor circuit and a wireless communication interface. The sensor circuit may periodically sense a value for a particular environmental variable. The wireless communication interface may update a dynamic address for the apparatus based on the periodically sensed value, and receive a query from a base station. The query may include a conditional address corresponding to the particular environmental variable. In response to a first comparison of the conditional address to a current dynamic address, the wireless communication interface may send a reply to the base station indicating whether the query has matched for the apparatus. The reply to the query may be performed without requesting a reading of the particular environmental variable from the sensor circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2018Publication date: September 26, 2019Inventors: Steven Greenspan, Maria C. Velez-Rojas, Serge Mankovskii, Guy A. Di Lella, Howard A. Abrams, Navid Nader-Rezvani, Mark Jacob Addleman, Otto Gabriel Berkes, Paul Louis Pronsati, JR.

Publication number: 20190295202Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to serving an electronic search warrant. In some embodiments, a computer system accesses a blockchain including an electronic warrant that authorizes access to a controlled device having confidential data. The computer system sends a request for the confidential data to the controlled device, the request identifying the electronic warrant. The computer system receives the confidential data from the controlled device and appends a first record to a second record in blockchain. The first record includes the confidential data, a first digital signature generated from the contents of the first record, and a second digital signature obtained from the second record. In some embodiments, the computer system sends a request for the electronic warrant to a second computer system associated with a court. The request identifies a public key for inclusion in the electronic warrant and having a private key to generate the first digital signature.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2018Publication date: September 26, 2019Inventors: Serge Mankovskii, Steven L. Greenspan, Maria C. Velez-Rojas, Guy A. Di Lella, Howard A. Abrams, Navid Nader-Rezvani, Mark Jacob Addleman, Otto Gabriel Berkes, Paul Louis Pronsati, JR.
