Patent number: 10447846Abstract: An anti-distracted driving system comprises a plurality of transceivers at different locations within a vehicle. Each of the transceivers is operable to receive a signal from a mobile communication device and to output a detection signal indicative of the strength of the received signal. A controller in communication with the transceivers is operable to calculate a corresponding distance of the mobile communication device for each of the detection signals and to determine a location of the mobile communication device within the vehicle based on the distances. The controller can send a signal from a transceiver to a mobile communication device in response to determining that the mobile communication device is near a driver's seat, the signal causing at least one function of the mobile communication device to be inhibited.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2018Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: 1943596 ALBERTA LTD.Inventors: David Moir, Lanny Westgard, Phil Laplante, Glen Suitor, Dean Lorenson

Patent number: 7295577Abstract: A system for correlating and displaying dissimilar communication protocols is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system comprises user communication information that spans at least two dissimilar communication networks, a first communication protocol associated with a first communication network, a second communication protocol associated with a second communication network, and a software code segment configured to detect a first call identifier associated with the first communication protocol, the software code segment also configured to detect a second call identifier associated with the second communication protocol, where the first call identifier and the second call identifier are correlated to a particular call. The system displays the correlated call identifiers to a user in a real-time call flow record.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2002Date of Patent: November 13, 2007Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Brian Mark Moody, Stuart McDonald, Douglas John Carson, David Moir Archibald

Patent number: 7054325Abstract: Signalling messages conforming to different signalling protocols in a distributed switch telecommunications network are correlated by associating specific pairs of messages according to parameters they have in common. Inter-MGC IAMs and SS7 IAMs are correlated by the combination of Calling & Called address parameters; the connection descriptor parameter included in inter-MGC IAMs and MGCP OK messages can be used to correlate these messages; and the MGCP OK message can be correlated with the MGCP CRCX message using the transaction ID. Hence a correspondence can be deduced between an MGCP endpointname (in the CRCX message) and an ISUP OPC-DPC-CIC identification (in the SS7 IAM).Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2000Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventor: David Moir Archibald

Patent number: 5690130Abstract: A cosmetic sampler with an integral applicator in which the unit dose of cosmetic is screen printed onto a paper base. To prevent off-set of the cosmetic sample and to protect the integral applicator during packaging and handling, a protective thin film overlay is laminated to a perimeter adhesive printed on the paper base around the cosmetic and the applicator. The applicator is glued as a laminate to the base and die cut in a desired shape, flocked to the base and die cut, or flocked into a debossed/embossed well formed in the base with the cosmetic sample screen printed directly thereover. The sampler with integral applicator of the present invention can be used for sampling unit doses of powders, creams, lipsticks, fragrances, pharmaceuticals, lotions, and sundries.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1995Date of Patent: November 25, 1997Assignee: Color Prelude Inc.Inventors: Anthony J. Gunderman, David Moir, Robert M. O'Connell, deceased

Patent number: 5647941Abstract: A cosmetic sampler formed by screen printing a slurry of cosmetic powder and solvent onto a paper base. To prevent off-set of the cosmetic sample during packaging and handling, a protective thin film overlay is laminated to a perimeter adhesive printed on the paper base around the cosmetic. The paper base may be replaced by a pressure sensitive adhesive stock to form a unit dose or single application of a cosmetic that can be applied as a label to any desired surface. In other embodiments, a non-pressure sensitive removable adhesive is used in a two-layer removable label construction or a three-layer coupon construction. The sampler can also be provided with or without the protective overlay in a simple folded hand-out version or as a pad of cosmetic sampler sheets. The sampler can also be used to provide unit doses or single applications of creams, lipsticks, fragrances, pharmaceuticals, lotions, and other high viscosity, waxy materials.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 1992Date of Patent: July 15, 1997Assignee: Color Prelude, Inc.Inventors: Anthony J.

Patent number: 5566693Abstract: A fragrance sampler formed by screen printing a slurry of fragrance and solvent onto a paper base. To prevent offset and release of the fragrance prior to use, a protective thin film overlay is laminated to a perimeter adhesive printed on the paper base around the fragrance sample. The paper base may be replaced by a pressure sensitive adhesive stock to form a unit dose or single application of a fragrance sample that can be applied as a label to any desired surface. In other embodiments, a non-pressure sensitive removable adhesive is used in a two-layer removable label construction or a three-layer coupon construction. The sampler can also be provided with the protective overlay in a simple folded hand-out version or as a pad of fragrance sampler sheets.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 1993Date of Patent: October 22, 1996Assignee: Color Prelude, Inc.Inventors: Anthony J.
