  • Patent number: 11930133
    Abstract: A device may determine that a failure occurred in an emergency call between a public-safety answering point (PSAP) and a first user device associated with an emergency caller, and may identify, based on determining the failure, one of a first option, a second option, or a third option for redirecting an emergency callback to a contact of the emergency caller. The device may cause, when the first option is identified, the emergency callback to be redirected to a second user device associated with the contact of the emergency caller, and may cause, when the first option is identified, a bearer path to be established between the PSAP and the second user device for the emergency callback.

  • Patent number: 6209815
    Abstract: A fishing reel has a housing for rigidly mounting on a fishing rod. A line spool is rotatably mounted in the housing. A handle is affixed to one side of the housing for winding in line. An antireverse mechanism allows winding in line and stops free release of line. An adjustable friction clutch, or drag, allows release of line when pull exceeds a preset force. Adjustment of the drag force setting is achieved by two adjusting knobs, one on each side of the reel. This enables the angler to hold the rod in either hand while using the free hand to adjust the drag.
