  • Publication number: 20220082721
    Abstract: Systems and methods for weapon and destructive device detection based on electromagnetic field profile are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a system includes one or more sensors configured to detect an electromagnetic field of one or more objects and to output an electrical signal representative of the electromagnetic field. The system also includes a computing device operably connected to the one or more sensors. Further, the computing device is configured to receive the electrical signal. The computing device is also configured to determine whether each of the one or more objects meets a predetermined electromagnetic field profile based on the electrical signal. Further, the computing device is configured to present a notification to a user in response to determining that one of the objects meet the predetermined electromagnetic field profile.

  • Patent number: 11108833
    Abstract: A method and devices for handling crossed-invite situations in set-up of IP-based sessions. A local device receives an incoming session invite after sending an outgoing session invite before the outgoing session invite has been accepted. It then determines that the incoming session invite was sent by the remote device to which the outgoing session invite is also addressed. The method includes determining a remote device priority value from identifying information contained in the incoming session invite, comparing the remote device priority value with a local device priority value to determine whether the remote device or the local device is higher priority and, if the remote device is higher priority, canceling the outgoing session invite and displaying an incoming call answer screen for the incoming session invite, and if the local device is higher priority, waiting for cancelation of the incoming session invite and acceptance of the outgoing session invite.
