  • Patent number: 11985569
    Abstract: A method to identify a problematic 2D position of a mobile device can include: determining a reported 2D position of the mobile device; determining a piece of information about the mobile device; and comparing the reported 2D position and the piece of information about the mobile device. Upon determining that the reported 2D position and the piece of information about the mobile device are consistent with each other, the reported 2D position of the mobile device is used as an estimate of the actual 2D position of the mobile device, or upon determining that the reported 2D position and the piece of information about the mobile device are not consistent with each other, the reported 2D position is determined to be problematic, and the reported 2D position of the mobile device is removed from a list of reported 2D positions of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 11984309
    Abstract: A non-radioactive homogenous plasma ion source that is power efficient with greater electrode life longevity and performance (homogenous low temperature plasma for ion formation, stability, robustness) than alternative non-radioactive ion sources for generating analyte ions of either positive or negative charge. Its compact design minimizes the spacing between electrodes, reducing the power requirements needed to ignite and maintain plasma levels. The non-radioactive plasma ion source generally comprises a housing for retaining a uniquely designed ion source that generates a uniform distribution of plasma to maximize the generation of ions at a lower plasma temperature to minimize undesirable nitrogen oxide and ozone gasses, at least one planar electrode in one embodiment, a mounting head with a gas exhaust, and a chamber with a counterflow gas inlet, and an analyte gas inlet.

  • Patent number: 11983582
    Abstract: In a wireless communication network, a wireless network controller authenticates a wireless receiver and transfers receiver instructions and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for wireless network slices to the wireless receiver. An item wirelessly transmits a network identifier (ID) and a product ID. The wireless receiver wirelessly detects the network ID and the product ID from the item at a geographic location. The receiver selects an API for a wireless network slice based on the receiver instructions and the network ID. The receiver transfers an API call to the wireless network slice. The wireless network slice selects a distributed Application (dAPP) based on the network ID, the product ID, and/or the geographic location for the item. The wireless network slice transfers the network ID, the product ID, and the geographic location for the item to selected dAPP.
