Publication number: 20160152286Abstract: An aerodynamic drag reduction device for use on an over-the-road cargo vehicle. The vehicle has a prismatically shaped cargo area, which includes a rear face of the cargo area substantially perpendicular to the direction of travel. The device comprises a plurality of resilient prongs arranged along a rear edge of the vehicle body, extending from a respective fixed end secured to the vehicle body rearward in a flow-wise direction beyond the rear edge of the vehicle body to a respective free end. Each prong is separated from an adjacent prong in the plurality, and each is flexible to permit deflection, under the influence of airflow over the vehicle at a predetermined speed, above and below a first plane defined by the surface of the vehicle to which the plurality of prongs is secured. Each prong is further resistant to deflecting in a direction parallel to the first plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2016Publication date: June 2, 2016Inventors: Sheldon Kent Meredith, Mario Kosseifi, John Pastore

Publication number: 20160127499Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer-readable storage device, and apparatus for determining a visitation profile for a user are disclosed. For example, the method gathers uniform resource locator visitation data from each user endpoint device of a plurality of user endpoint devices associated with the user, aggregates the uniform resource locator visitation data that is gathered from the plurality of user endpoint devices associated with the user, and determines the visitation profile for the user, wherein the visitation profile indicates a trend of the uniform resource locator visitation data over a time period.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2014Publication date: May 5, 2016Inventors: SHELDON KENT MEREDITH, John Pastore, Rick Tipton

Publication number: 20160026821Abstract: Event driven permissive sharing of information is disclosed. In an aspect, user equipment can include information sharing profiles that can facilitate sharing information with other devices or users, such as sharing location information. The information sharing profiles can include trigger values, such that when a target value transitions the trigger value, a permission value is updated to restrict or allow access to sharable information. As such, event driven permissive sharing of information allows for designation of temporary friend information sharing with user-defined triggers.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2015Publication date: January 28, 2016Inventors: Sheldon Kent Meredith, Mario Kosseifi, John Pastore

Publication number: 20160029166Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for comparing multi-dimensional datasets are provided. A multi-dimensional dataset comparison includes receiving a plurality of datasets, each including a plurality of coordinates, wherein a subset of coordinates defines a geo-fence. For a coordinate within a geo-fence of one of the plurality of datasets, determining analogous coordinates in each of the other datasets, the analogous coordinates defining a coordinate input set, and performing in parallel an operation on the coordinate input set to determine whether an entry is present at a coordinate of the coordinate input set.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2015Publication date: January 28, 2016Applicant: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Sheldon Meredith, Mark Pack, John Pastore

Publication number: 20150235223Abstract: Fraud analysis for a location aware transaction is disclosed. Location information can be associated with historical fraud events. A location of user equipment can be analyzed against historical fraud information associated with the location to facilitate determination of a fraud factor value. The fraud factor value can reflect a determination related to a likelihood of fraud occurring in an instant transaction based on the historic fraud events proximate to the location. The determination can be based on fraud rules. Further aspects provide for abstraction of the fraud factor to limit exposure of personal information associated with wireless carrier subscribers in fraud analysis for a location aware transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2015Publication date: August 20, 2015Inventors: Sheldon Meredith, Mark Austin, John Pastore

Patent number: 9053513Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides for fraud analysis for a location aware transaction. In an aspect, location information can be associated with historical fraud events. The location of user equipment can be analyzed against historical fraud information to facilitate determination of a fraud factor value. The fraud factor value can reflect a determination related to the likelihood of fraud occurring in the present transaction based on the historic fraud events at the same or similar location as the present location of the user equipment. The determination can be based on fraud rules. Further aspects provide for abstraction of the fraud factor to limit exposure of personal information associated with wireless carrier subscribers in fraud analysis for a location aware transaction.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2011Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Sheldon Meredith, Mark Austin, John Pastore

Patent number: 8923134Abstract: Providing for network repair prioritization as a function of impact on network services is described herein. By way of example, impact of a given service outage on surrounding network infrastructure and associated terminals can be analyzed and estimated. The impact can be characterized at least in part by changes in loading to surrounding network equipment, as well as related quality and performance metrics. Network impact estimates and loading changes can be derived through mobile device position data for an impacted area and identifying overlapping coverage areas, and signal characteristics of the surrounding network infrastructure. Measured or predicted changes in network performance can be scored to provide relative priorities for allocating limited service personnel in repairing base station errors. Personnel resources can therefore be deployed in a manner that more accurately reflects customer service goals of a network provider.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2011Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Sheldon Meredith, John Pastore, Douglas T.
