Patent number: 9871913Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the trustworthiness of calling party information, such as caller ID and ANI information, contained in a call request are provided. The method includes receiving a call request at a service provider network element, such as a telecommunication carrier switch. A decision is made as to whether the call request should be verified by reviewing a database of called telephone numbers for monitoring. When the call request is to be verified, a determination is made whether a discrepancy exists between the calling party information contained within the call request and authenticated stored calling party information. For example, the caller ID information in a call request is compared to service provider caller ID information for the calling party to determine if they match. When a discrepancy exists, a discrepancy report is transmitted to the called party.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2016Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: TrustID, Inc.Inventors: Shreyas Dattatraya Saitawdekar, Patrick Michael Cox, Daniel Vincent Stone, Dean Franklin Black, Richard J.

Patent number: 5602343Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the velocity of fluid flowing in a fluid path, includes a signal generator for generating input signals, and two ultrasonic transducers coupled diagonally across the fluid path. The transducers are connected in series to the signal generator such that equal and opposite input signals are simultaneously applied to each transducer. A signal processor combines the output signals of each transducer caused by the ultrasonic signal transmitted by the other transducer across the fluid path to obtain a destructive interference signal and a constructive interference signal, and compares the amplitude of the destructive interference signal with the amplitude of the constructive interference signal to obtain a measure of the velocity of the fluid. The signal processor may also compare the phase of the destructive interference signal with the phase of the constructive interference signal to obtain a measure of the direction of flow.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 1995Date of Patent: February 11, 1997Assignee: The Curators of the University of MissouriInventor: Dean Franklin
