Patent number: 9603967Abstract: A placental tissue assembly for treating wounds or surfaces of a patient has one or more layers of placental tissue and a backing material. The one or more layers of placental tissue have a first side and a second side. The backing material is adhered to and covers one of either the first or second sides of the one or more layers of placental tissue to create the assembly. The assembly when applied onto a surface to be treated on the side of the tissue opposite the backing material adheres to the surface with an attachment force greater than an attachment force of the backing material adhered to the first or second side. This allows the backing material to be released leaving the placental tissue affixed to the surface to be treated.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2015Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Vivex Biomedical, Inc.Inventors: Roderick Nelson Allen, Rebecca Marshall Allen

Patent number: 7280803Abstract: A system and method of collecting call data from a Mobile Telephone Switching Office and combining this data with location information of a wireless device (or devices) to generate information reports concerning the electromagnetic coverage of a cell site. The collection of call data from a switch permits consideration of uplink information in the analysis of system performance. This information combined with location information obtained using a time difference of arrival (TDOA) technique allows the cell site to be evaluated and to remove transient effects associated with, for example, local terrain and other physical impairments.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2000Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: Cingular Wireless II, LLCInventor: Roderick Nelson

Patent number: 7035646Abstract: A mobile station communicates with both a cellular network, by which it is assigned a mobile identification number, and to a cordless cellular base station utilizing the same cellular frequency range and communications protocol. The cordless cellular base station is preferably connected to a public switched telephone network and is assigned a landline number. The cordless cellular base station acts as a conduit between the mobile station and the public switched telephone network. When the mobile station comes within range of a cordless cellular base station, it deregisters automatically from the cellular network and register with the cordless cellular base station. Once the mobile station is communicating with the cordless cellular base station, the cordless cellular base station communicates with the cellular network to instruct the cellular network to route all calls for mobile identification number to the cordless cellular base station's landline number.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2003Date of Patent: April 25, 2006Assignee: Cingular Wireless II, LLCInventors: Michael A.
