Patent number: 9161204Abstract: A computer-implemented mobile device locating method is provided. The method includes determining a current cell sector of a mobile device and comparing the current cell sector with a cell sector list of previously determined cell sectors. A current location of the mobile device is determined if the current cell sector is not listed in the cell sector list. The current location is compared with a last determined location. The current cell sector is added to the cell sector list if the current location is substantially the same as the last determined location. The cell sector list is cleared if the current location is not substantially the same as the last determined location.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2013Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: Location Labs, Inc.Inventors: Scott Hotes, Anthony Polito, Tasos Roumeliotis

Patent number: 8738688Abstract: A system is provided including a non-transitory computer readable storage medium that causes a mobile device to store client states indicating statuses of mobile device functional components. Each client state corresponds to a functional component. A client digest of the client state is stored. A server digest corresponding to a server state and the client digest is received from a server. The server state indicates a status of a mobile device functional component. The server digest is compared with the client digest. A state request is transmitted to the server responsive to a determination of a difference between the server digest and client digest. The server state is received from the server. The functional component is enabled or disabled as indicated by the server state. The server state and digest are stored as the client state and digest respectively. Methods for control of mobile device functional components are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2011Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: WaveMarket, Inc.Inventors: Jesse Myers, Scott Hotes, Richard Michael Fromm, Joseph Anakata, Anthony Polito, Eli Reese Bishop

Patent number: 8594065Abstract: A computer-implemented method for preventing communication using a mobile communication device is provided. The method includes enabling a motion detection process and detecting with the motion detection process at a first instance the mobile device is in motion. The motion detection process is disabled in response to detecting the mobile device is in motion. An attempted communication is detected via the mobile device, and the motion detection process is re-enabled in response to detecting the attempted communication. The method further includes detecting with the motion detection process at a second instance if the mobile device is in motion. If the mobile device is detected at the second instance in motion, the attempted communication is disabled. If the mobile device is detected at the second instance not in motion, the attempted communication is enabled.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2011Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: WaveMarket, Inc.Inventors: Anthony Polito, Scott Hotes, Tasos Roumeliotis, Daniel Hodges

Patent number: 5908340Abstract: A method for fabricating an array of conical electron emitters (410) includes the steps of: (i) positioning a collimator (160), including a plurality of collimation cells (162) having hexagonal cross-sections, between a substrate (155) having emitter wells (130) and a target (170) made from the emitter material, (ii) sputtering the target (170) so that it is partially collimated by the collimator (160), (iii) moving the substrate (155) within a plane defined by the substrate (155) so that the emitter wells (130) follow an emitter well path (220) which forms a 15.degree. path angle (235) with respect to a reference line (240) of the collimator (160).Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 1997Date of Patent: June 1, 1999Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Steven A.

Patent number: 4970176Abstract: Metal step coverage is improved by utilizing a multiple step metallization process. In the first step, a thick portion of a metal layer is deposited on a semiconductor wafer at a cold temperature. The remaining amount of metal is deposited in a second step as the temperature is ramped up to allow for reflow of the metal layer through grain growth, recrystallization and bulk diffusion. The thick portion of the metal layer deposited at the cold temperature is of adequate thickness so that it remains continuous at the higher temperature and enhances via filling.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1989Date of Patent: November 13, 1990Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Clarence J. Tracy, John L. Freeman, Jr., Robert L. Duffin, Anthony Polito

Patent number: 4837183Abstract: A metallization process for semiconductor devices wherein the metal deposition steps are performed at higher wafer temperatures than subsequent processing steps. The correlation between wafer temperature and maximum grain width is prevalent in many metals used for semiconductor device metallization such as aluminum. Therefore, by measuring and controlling the maximum grain width of the deposited metal during metal deposition steps, it is possible to control and adjust the wafer temperature.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 1988Date of Patent: June 6, 1989Assignee: Motorola Inc.Inventors: Anthony Polito, Irenee M.
