Patent number: 8126842Abstract: A synchronization process, and associated apparatus, for placing database copies in match with one another by way of communications effectuated upon an air interface of a radio communication system. Hash functions are performed at a mobile node and at a network part upon mobile and network copies of database information. Comparison of the hash information formed therefrom provides a preliminary indication of whether the databases are in match with one another. If a determination is made that the databases are out of match, the data is compared, and the data is placed in match with one another responsive to such additional comparisons.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2004Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: David Paul Yach, Barry Warren Linkert, Jie Zhu, Salim Hayder Omar, Piotr K Tysowski, Albert Hecht-Enns, Catherine Phillips, Kathy Ann Pereira

Patent number: 7933618Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for selectably delaying performance of synchronization operations in which database copies are placed in match with one another. A user of a mobile node at which a database copy is maintained selectably actuates an actuator to select delay of performance of the synchronization operations. Once selection is made to delay the performance of the synchronization operations, selection is further made by a delay selector of the delay period prior to which synchronization operations are carried out.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2008Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventor: Catherine Phillips

Patent number: 7457631Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating synchronization of databases connected by way of a radio air interface. Changes to a data record embodied at the network part are detected by a detector. A mapping is performed by a mapper, and a synchronization request is generated by a synchronization request generator. The synchronization request is filtered by a filter, and converted into form to permit its efficient communication upon the radio air interface to a mobile node pursuant to a synchronization session.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2004Date of Patent: November 25, 2008Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: David Paul Yach, Barry Warren Linkert, Jie Zhu, Salim Hayder Omar, Piotr K Tysowski, Albert Hecht-Enns, Catherine Phillips, Kathy Ann Pereira

Methods And Apparatus For Providing Manual Selection Of A Communication Network For A Mobile Station
Publication number: 20080096559Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing manual selection of a communication network for a mobile station are described. A plurality of communication networks are identified by scanning a coverage area within which the mobile station is operating. A plurality of network identifiers corresponding to the plurality of communication networks are then retrieved from memory of a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) in accordance with an Enhanced Operator Name String (EONS) protocol. Preferably, each network identifier is retrieved based on a Mobile Country Code (MCC), a Mobile Network Code (MNC), and a Location Area Code (LAC). The plurality of network identifiers are visually displayed for user selection, and at least two of the network identifiers may be substantially the same. The user selected communication network is registered with and the network identifier associated with this network is visually displayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2007Publication date: April 24, 2008Applicant: RESEARCH IN MOTION LIMITEDInventors: Catherine Phillips, Ronald Zinn, Fraser Gibbs -
Publication number: 20070298795Abstract: Home network name displaying methods and apparatus for multiple home networks are disclosed. A mobile station scans to receive a plurality of Mobile Country Code (MCC) and Mobile Network Code (MNC) pairs corresponding to a plurality of communication networks within a coverage area. The mobile station selects and registers with a communication network associated with one of the received MCC and MNC pairs for communication. After the network is selected, the received MCC and MNC pair is compared with a plurality of home network MCC and MNC pairs which are associated with a single home network display name. Based on identifying a match between the received MCC and MNC pair and any one of the home network MCC and MNC pairs, the home network display name is visually displayed in a display of the mobile station. If no match exists, an alternate name is selected for display.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2007Publication date: December 27, 2007Applicant: RESEARCH IN MOTION LIMITEDInventors: Ronald Zinn, Catherine Phillips, Noushad Naqvi, Ingo Weigele

Publication number: 20060171883Abstract: A Disclosed are methods for detecting and localizing a cell-specific antigen in a mammal, such as a human subject, comprising exposing peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of the mammal to an immunogenic peptide epitope of the antigen, under conditions for antigen-specific activation of T lymphocytes in the PBMCs, thereby producing antigen-specific T lymphocytes that at least bind to the cell-specific antigen. Labeled antigen-specific T lymphocytes are administered to the mammal, typically with-out IL-2, either intraperitoneally or intravenously. The distribution of these cells in the mammal is determined by imaging, thereby detecting and localizing cell-specific antigen in the mammal. Exposing PBMCs to the immunogenic peptide typically involves a cell-free peptide preparation and interleukin-2 (IL-2), but no additional cells such as antigen presenting cells (APC) separately pulsed with antigen.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2003Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventors: Catherine Phillips, Stephen Wright
