Patent number: 10045326Abstract: The system and method to allow a cellular enabled device that lacks two-way satellite communication to receive incoming calls over a satellite network where the mobile terminating call is initially addressed to the cellular mobile phone number. In one embodiment, the system and method allows the cellular device to appear as a device roaming on a satellite network or sub-network. In another embodiment, the system places a call forward request to a satellite enabled device, where the call forward request is transparent to the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2016Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Globalstar, Inc.Inventors: Eric Blanchard, Joseph Crowley, Paul A. Monte, Prihamdhani Amran

Patent number: 9143354Abstract: A method of transmitting data streams of a multimedia session between a first and a second terminal through a telecommunication network comprising a network core is disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes the determination by border modules, points of access to the network core, of the routing topology and of the state of the links of the network. The method further includes the determination of parameters of the session, the selecting of input and output border modules of the network core for the streams, the predetermination of a path, between the input and output border modules for all the streams of the session, the setting up of resources along the path, the defining of routing rules at the routing modules situated along the path, and the transmission of the streams only by the path.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2012Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: ThalesInventors: Michel Delattre, Eric Blanchard

Patent number: 9137016Abstract: Example embodiments relate to updating key pairs based on digital signature states. In example embodiments, first credentials that are generated using a first private key may be sent to a user computing device, where the first private key is associated with a first public key. At some stage, second credentials that are generated using the first private key and a second private key are sent to the user computing device, where the second credentials specify that the first private key is deprecated, and where the user computing device authenticates the second credentials using the first public key. In response to receiving confirmation that a firmware upgrade is installed a number of user computing devices such that an upgrade threshold is satisfied, the first private key may be deactivated. The firmware upgrade may be provided in response to receiving a firmware upgrade request from the user computing device.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2013Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Todd Eric Blanchard, Rowdy K Webb, Laurent Pizot

Publication number: 20140071886Abstract: A interface device and a method of allowing communication is provided to allow a wireless mobile communications device to interface with a satellite communication system. The interface includes a satellite modem (including antenna), a communications link to communicate with the wireless communications device (such as a Wifi link using VoIP) and an applications processor (with associated memory) to handle control and handshaking functions between the communications link and satellite modem and the related interfaced equipment (mobile communications device and satellite system) and to assist and reformat as needed transmission of data between the interfaced equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2012Publication date: March 13, 2014Applicant: Globalstar, Inc.Inventors: Paul A. Monte, Ronnie Daryl Tanner, Eric Blanchard, Mark Edward Sutton, Alfonso Bravo, Walter DeBus

Patent number: 8631835Abstract: A method of injecting mortar into a container fastened to a first tank and to a second tank, the first tank communicating with the container via a first orifice and the second tank communicating with the container by a second orifice, the method comprising the following operations: a continuous circulation of a first stream of mortar is made to flow in a circulation loop; during the continuous circulation, a second stream of mortar is drawn off from the circulation loop, the second stream being smaller than the first stream of mortar; the second stream of mortar is injected into the container, ensuring that there is dynamic confinement of the gaseous effluents; and the appearance of mortar in the second tank is monitored and, when this appearance is detected, the removal of mortar from the circulation loop is brought to an end.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2009Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies AlternativesInventors: Dominique Pouyat, Eric Blanchard, Pierre Brovelli

Publication number: 20040221407Abstract: A cleaning liquid dispensing system for use in a mobile hard surface cleaner. The system generally includes a cleaning agent container, a cleaning agent supply line coupled to the cleaning agent container, a flow control device, and a pressure regulator. The cleaning agent container is configured to contain a supply of cleaning agent. The flow control device includes a first input coupled to the cleaning agent supply line, a second input, and an output. The pressure regulator is configured to control a pressure in the cleaning agent supply line and is positioned in line with the cleaning agent supply line between the first input of the flow control device and the cleaning agent container.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2003Publication date: November 11, 2004Applicant: Tennant CompanyInventors: Bruce F. Field, Bryan L. Christensen, Eric A. Blanchard

Publication number: 20040040102Abstract: A foamed cleaning liquid dispensing system includes a cleaner cartridge, a flow control device, and an aerator. The cleaner cartridge includes a collapsible bag containing a supply of cleaning agent. The flow control device is configured to receive a flow of the cleaning agent from the cartridge and a flow of a primary cleaning liquid component. The flow control device combines the flows of cleaning agent and primary cleaning liquid component and produces an output flow of cleaning liquid at an output. The aerator includes a nozzle having an inlet fluidically coupled to the output of the flow control device, an outlet, a body having a bore extending between the inlet and the outlet, and a radial port. The nozzle is configured to receive the output flow of cleaning liquid at the inlet, inject air into the output flow of cleaning liquid through the radial port, and produce an output flow of foamed cleaning liquid through the outlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2003Publication date: March 4, 2004Applicant: Tennant CompanyInventors: Bruce F.
