Abstract: A communication system includes a wireless device capable of performing a function. A network is configured to communicate with the wireless device to provide a network service. A small cell is in a location, the small cell is configured to control a communication link between the wireless device and the network. A register includes a database of restrictions on the function of the wireless device at the location. The system is configured to query whether the wireless device is within the location, and to apply the restrictions to the wireless device when the wireless device is in the location.

Abstract: A system comprising: a wireless device, the wireless device comprising a processor and a lower level system; and a wireless device subsystem electrically adapted to the wireless device, the wireless device subsystem configured to provide a control signal to the lower level system in response to a detected condition, the control signal modifying an operational performance of the lower level system.

Abstract: A system configured for detecting firearm threats on a premises includes a surveillance camera on a premises and a utility. The surveillance camera is configured to generate surveillance data. The utility is configured to provide a cloud service for detecting firearm threats on a premises. The system includes a processor; memory in electronic communication with the processor; and instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are executable by the processor to: detect the presence of a firearm on the premises; and upon detecting a firearm, sending a notification that a firearm has been detected on the premises.

Abstract: A firearm is provided with an electronic control system which monitors and controls the firearm. The electronic control system is coupled to a lower level system which may be one or more parts employed in the discharge of a firearm; or an assemblage of parts that configure the firearm into an armed or disarmed state of operation. Image data on a target, firearm system status data, and/or other data may be detected by sensors or collected, under the direction of and processed by the electronic control system. The electronic control system provides control signals to a firearm subsystem adapted to the lower level system to in response to a detected condition to allow operation of the lower level system to operate the firearm. A touch-sensitive screen may allow a firearm operator and an arm/disarm control interface may allow a remote operator or service to monitor and control the firearm.

Abstract: Plural carbon-containing overcoats are formed on a media-facing surface of an information storage system head. The plural carbon-containing overcoats can mitigate corrosion without increasing head-media spacing. A first of the overcoats may be formed prior to creation of contact or air bearing features on the media-facing surface, with a second overcoat formed after creation of air bearing features. The first overcoat may be etched back substantially or completely prior to formation of the second overcoat. Laminated carbon-containing overcoats may have greater strength and/or coverage than non-laminated overcoats of the same thickness. The overcoats may be formed of several forms of diamond-like carbon (DLC) or silicon-carbide (SiC).
