Patent number: 11754782Abstract: A photonic device includes a PCB having an integrated circuit mounted thereon, with a cap mounted to the PCB and carrying a lens positioned over the integrated circuit. The cap is formed by: an outer wall mounted to the PCB, extending upwardly from the PCB, and surrounding a portion of the integrated circuit; a first retention structure extending inwardly from the outer wall and across the integrated circuit, the first retention structure having a hole defined therein; and a second retention structure having a hole defined therein, the second retention structure being affixed within the first retention structure such that the hole in the second retention structure is axially aligned with the hole in the first retention structure. The lens is mechanically constrained within the cap between the first retention structure and the second retention structure.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2021Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: STMicroelectronics (Research & Development) LimitedInventor: Joseph Hannan

Patent number: 9521538Abstract: A practical inter-carrier roaming solution by way of a roaming location protocol (RLP) router that provides consistent location support across heterogeneous wireless network standards. The RLP router maintains connectivity to each location server in a roaming ecosystem, alleviating the need for an expensive and impractical mesh network of location servers. When a home location server (H-LS) determines it cannot locate a subscriber device because the subscriber device is roaming, the H-LS sends an RLP request to the RLP router. The RLP router then routes the RLP request to a serving location server (S-LS), which subsequently returns location information for the roaming subscriber device. The RLP router maintains mobile switching center ID (MSCID) to location based services (LBS) mappings for routing RLP requests. The RLP router may also maintain rough MSC-level positioning data for each MSCID to enable the RLP router to resolve certain location fixes without utilizing an S-LS.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2016Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: Telecommunication Systems, Inc.Inventors: Gordon John Hines, Paul Thompson, Kambiz Ghozati, Lynne Seitz, Joseph Hannan

Patent number: 8190151Abstract: LBS support to CDMA mobiles while roaming on another network. IS-801 session data is routed by a routing gateway to a correct visited network PDE that contains correct BSA data, which is used to return assistance data to an interrogating mobile device. A standalone exemplary roaming LBS routing gateway (XRG) provides network connectivity between PDE equipment in multiple carrier networks. Conventional LBS roaming support is defined via the use of Mobile Position Centers (MPCs). The invention implements a roaming LBS gateway to enable roaming between CDMA carriers that are only using a PDE (Positioning Determining Entity) for this purpose, since a mobile position center (MPC) is typically an optional network node according to location based services (LBS) specifications.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2011Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: TeleCommunication Systems, Inc.Inventors: Myron D'Souza, Gordon John Hines, David Bartnik, Joseph Hannan, Joel Groen, William Wells
