  • Patent number: 8494571
    Abstract: Methods and computer-readable mediums for processing push-to-talk voice messages are provided. According to one method, a first mobile station receives a push-to-talk voice message from a second mobile station, determines that a data object is attached to the push-to-talk voice message, determines a type of the data object, and stores the data object in a PTT attachment queue of the first mobile station, based upon the determined type of the data object, which may be a picture, video data, audio data, e-mail, document, contact, or the like.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 29, 2012
    Date of Patent: July 23, 2013
    Assignee: Nextel Communications Inc.

  • Patent number: 6322684
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed having at least one cathode adapted to maintain a line of contact with at least one substrate surface during relative movement therebetween. There is at least one anode located in a spaced relationship to the cathode and an electronically insulating member located between the at least one anode and the at least one cathode adapted to provide a gap between the substrate surface and the insulating member. When placed in a plating bath, the electric field is directed toward conducting patterns on a substrate to uniformly plate the patterns while minimizing plating on the electrode. The same device may also be used for electroetching by reversing the polarity of the electrodes.
