  • Patent number: 10791471
    Abstract: Wireless offloading provides tools to a service provider to encourage or direct a subscriber to offload from a first network, e.g., a cellular network, to a second network, e.g., a Wi-Fi network. The cellular service provider can use network data to determine wireless offloading priorities for cellular subscribers on an individual or group basis. The cellular service provider may use wireless network data it has and/or wireless network data it learns about networks from the wireless devices (which may obtain Wi-Fi network data from beacon frames of Wi-Fi networks or active scanning and which may report to the cellular service provider). Each wireless device can be given scanning assignments to ensure that the reporting task is shared among subscribers or adjusted to fill in gaps in data. With the network data, the cellular service provider is capable of generating useful prioritized network lists for wireless devices, either individually or as a group.

  • Patent number: 10789625
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for influencing a potential customer to purchase an item. The item for targeted marketing is identified. The potential customer in a social network for the item is identified. An influencer that has an influence on the potential customer with respect to the item is identified using a hypergraph comprising objects representing people in the social network; edges connecting the object nodes for the people based on relationships between the people; and influence edges representing opinion influences on opinions about items, wherein the influence edges connect the edges to identify opinion influences between the people. An incentive directed to the influencer to influence the potential customer to purchase the item is generated. A display of the incentive in an application running on the client device for the influencer is initiated.

  • Patent number: 10791090
    Abstract: This document describes methods, devices, systems, and means for a wireless mesh access point with user-space tunneling. A first wireless mesh network access point (WMAP) determines that a frame from a first device is destined for a second device associated with a second WMAP. The first WMAP encapsulates the frame to produce an encapsulated frame that includes an Internet Protocol (IP) header and a payload, the Internet Protocol (IP) header including an IP destination address of the second WMAP and an IP source address of the first WMAP, and the payload including a header and payload data from the frame. The first WMAP sends the encapsulated frame to the second WMAP using a station mode interface of the first WMAP, which causes the second WMAP to forward the frame to the second device.

  • Patent number: 10789235
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and techniques for base user defined functions in a database management system are discussed herein. For example, in one aspect, a query request is received from a computer device. The query request may include a query operator representing a specialized user defined function (SUDF). The SUDF may then be executed. Executing the SUDF may include executing a base operation of a base user defined function (BUDF). The base operation may interact with an application programming interface (API) of the query engine to obtain a tuple stored in the database. Executing the SUDF may further include executing a specialized operation that processes the tuple according to an analytics function. The specialized operation may generate a result. Then, a query result may be returned to the computer device. The query result can include the result.

  • Patent number: 10787864
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods provide protection for components of a downhole tool by using a liner and/or web protector to minimize, block, or prevent erosion of a pillar component, which is adjacent to an opening of the downhole tool, during activation and operation of the downhole tool. The downhole tool comprises a body having an external surface and internal volume configured to store thermite fuel, wherein the thermite fuel is configured to ignite into a molten thermite fuel. The downhole tool comprises an opening extending from the internal volume through the external surface, and a pillar defining one side of the opening, wherein the opening is configured to project the molten thermite fuel. The downhole tool includes web protectors, abutting at least an internal side of the pillar, to block the molten thermite fuel from impinging the internal side of the pillar, thus protecting the components of the downhole tool.
