  • Patent number: 8233433
    Abstract: An access point transmits a beacon signal when a multimode communication device is within a maximum proximity of the access point. A wireless wide area network (WWAN) receiver in the access point monitors a WWAN uplink channel used by the multimode wireless communication device to communicate with a WWAN base station. The access point determines, or at least estimates, a proximity of the multimode communication device to the access point based on a received WWAN uplink signal transmitted by the multimode wireless communication device. If the proximity is less than a proximity threshold, the access point transmits the beacon signal. The beacon signal at least indicates the presence of the access point and, in some circumstances, includes instructions or information to assist in a handoff from the WWAN to the WLAN.

  • Publication number: 20120186781
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a heat transfer system having a tubing coil for heating fluid flowing therein, where the tubing coil can be pigged (descaled) while operationally online, instead of offline. The online system uses an assembly of valves and associated equipment to connect to a pig launcher and pig receiver while the system is online. A valve opens and the pig launches into the flow stream under pressure through the valve and travels along the tube with the fluid. The system continues to produce heated fluid with the pig in the flow path. A pig receiver receives the pig after the pigging, and then is isolated from the flow path of the heated fluid by another valve. The pig launcher, pig receiver, and pig are removed, and this process is repeated for any other passes in the tubing coil.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes establishing a first virtual talk group (VTG) that includes a plurality of endpoints and has a first multicast address. The plurality of endpoints includes a first endpoint and a second endpoint. The method also includes monitoring traffic associated with the first VTG, determining when a denial of service (DOS) attack is indicated by the traffic, and identifying at least one rogue endpoint responsible for the DOS attack when it is determined that the DOS attack is indicated. The first endpoint and the second endpoint are notified that they are to participate in a dynamic switchover to a second VTG when a DOS attack is indicated. The second VTG is established using a second multicast address, and includes the first endpoint and the second endpoint, but not the rogue endpoint.

  • Patent number: 8229242
    Abstract: A point correspondence procedure is applied to a set of images of a specular object to produce sparse reflection correspondences. The set of images is subject to rotation while acquired by a camera. That is, either the camera, the environment or the object rotates. Either a linear system A?=0 is solved or a related second order cone program (SOCP) is solved, where ? is a vector of local surface parameters. Gradients of the surface are obtained from the local quadric surface parameters, and the gradients are integrated to obtain normals, wherein the normals define a shape of the surface.

  • Patent number: 8228865
    Abstract: Techniques to efficiently search for a WLAN are described. A terminal receives country information from a wireless wide area network (WWAN), which may be a cellular network or a broadcast network. This country information may be a Mobile Country Code (MCC) that is broadcast by the WWAN. The MCC identifies the country in which the WWAN is deployed. The terminal then performs active scan for a WLAN based on the country information received from the WWAN. For the active scan, the terminal determines a frequency channel and a transmit power level based on the country information. The terminal then transmits a probe request on the frequency channel and at the transmit power level determined based on the country information. The terminal may perform passive scan and/or active scan in accordance with a scan setting.

  • Patent number: 8229244
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe a method for reducing a blur in an image of a scene. First, we acquire a set of images of the scene, wherein each image in the set of images includes an object having a blur associated with a point spread function (PSF) forming a set of point spread functions (PSFs), wherein the set of PSFs is suitable for null-filling operation. Next, we invert jointly the set of images and the set of PSFs to produce an output image having a reduced blur.
