Patent number: 9154901Abstract: A computer-implemented method for controlling activity of a mobile device corresponding to a first user is provided. The method includes enabling an application to receive an indication of permitted usage from a second user. An indication of permitted usage of the mobile device is received via the application from the second user. Instructions are transmitted to the mobile communication device to disable or enable at least one functional component of the mobile device responsive to the indication of permitted usage. Further provided is a computing system including at least one memory configured to perform a procedure for controlling activity of a mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2012Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Location Labs, Inc.Inventors: Sarah Hernandez, Choongil Fleischman, Andrew Talbot

Patent number: 8866650Abstract: A circuit for testing digital-to-analog (DAC) and analog-to-digital converters (ADC) is provided. The circuit applies a code pattern having a plurality of sequential values to the digital to analog converter. A plurality of built-in test switches (BTS) couple at least one tap voltage from the DAC to a test bus and to the ADC as a variable reference input voltage. In one form, the circuit uses incremental digital codes to test for defects in a resistor string, a switch array, and a decode logic that form part of the DAC. In another form, the circuit uses the tap voltages from the DAC to test the comparators that form part of the ADC. Instead of performing time-consuming analog to digital conversions, the functionality of the above mentioned circuitry is tested by varying the code pattern around a reference point and by selecting the appropriate combination of BTS switches.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2011Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Stephen J. Spinks, Andrew Talbot, Colin Mair

Patent number: 8412647Abstract: A computer-implemented behavior monitoring method is provided. The method includes receiving from a plurality of contributors a plurality of personal value preference indications. Either or both of location information corresponding to a determined location of a user device and communication information corresponding to a determined communication activity of the user device are received. Either or both of the location information and the communication information of the user device are compared with the plurality of personal value preference indications from the plurality of contributors. A behavior rating is determined based on the comparison of the location information and the communication information of the user device with the plurality of personal value preference indications, and the behavior rating is transmitted to a user.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2009Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: WaveMarket, Inc.Inventors: Scott Hotes, Tasos Roumeliotis, Andrew Talbot

Publication number: 20110320259Abstract: A computer-implemented location based advertising method is provided. The method includes receiving advertising information and an indication of a physical location associated with the advertising information. The advertising information is transmitted to a first client associated with a first user. Entrance to the physical location is detected by either the first user or a mobile device associated with the first user. The transmission of the advertising information and the detection of the entrance to the physical location of the first user or the mobile device are reported to a second client associated with a second user. The present invention further provides a location based advertising systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2010Publication date: December 29, 2011Applicant: WAVEMARKET, INC.Inventors: Tasos Roumeliotis, Scott Hotes, Andrew Talbot, Daniel Hodges

Patent number: 7089712Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for producing an assembly comprising a plurality of digital data storage media carriers attached to a carrier strip. In the production of the assemblies, carriers are positioned for movement in a longitudinal direction of the conveyor system with the carriers being in a row. Carrier strips are secured to the carriers with the longitudinal axis of the assembly and the carrier strips being generally parallel to the direction of movement of the conveyor system. Carriers are deposited onto the conveyor system via a bottom feed depositor which depositor utilizes a pressure differential to help produce positive movement of carriers from a carrier magazine onto the conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2004Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: The Form House, Inc.Inventors: Keith Andrew Talbot, Thomas Michael Steffl

Publication number: 20060145753Abstract: A system is disclosed for setting an electrical circuit parameter at a predetermined value. The system comprises a first electrical component having a first electrical parameter associated therewith. Sensing means generate a control signal indicative of the value of the first electrical parameter. A second electrical component has a second electrical parameter associated therewith, the value of which has a predetermined relation to the value of the first electrical parameter. Adjustment means receive the control signal generated by the sensing means; and, in response to the control signal being indicative that the electrical circuit parameter is not at the predetermined value, selectively connects or disconnects at least one further electrical component to or from the second electrical component thereby to provide said predetermined value.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2004Publication date: July 6, 2006Inventors: Andrew Talbot, Keith Jones
