  • Publication number: 20220191698
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are described for monitoring remote identifiers transmitted by aerial devices and for detecting whether an aerial device is engaging in suspicious activities. A described technique can include determining, based on information collected from one or mom network components associated with a cellular network, that an aerial device is communicating via the cellular network and is operating in a geographical area; determining whether the aerial device corresponds to a remote identifier which is transmitted within the geographical area or reported for the geographical area; and providing an alarm notification based on the aerial device lacking a correspondence to a remote identifier which is transmitted within the geographical area or reported for the geographical area.

  • Patent number: 9304787
    Abstract: Described is a technique for establishing an interaction language for a user interface without having to communicate with the user in a default language, which the user may or may not understand. The technique may prompt the user for multiples responses in order to determine a specific language. The responses may include speech input or selecting particular regions on a map. In some implementations, the language may be precise to a particular dialect or variant preferred or spoken by the user. Accordingly, this approach provides an accurate and efficient method of providing a high degree of specificity for language selection without overwhelming the user with an unmanageable list of languages.

  • Patent number: 7899665
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention can gather data from native language sources to produce a valid collation sequence that is appropriate for a particular language and application. Sequences of characters in this data are tested to determine strength levels used by the given language. The data is also recursively probed with other sequences to test for contractions and identify expansions. Sequences in the data may then be compared against a known or predetermined sequence to generate a set of sorting rules that is specific to the language and application. The rules are formatted to replicate the sorting order found in the data.

  • Patent number: 7113920
    Abstract: An intranet based comprehensive ordering system that allows authorized employees to simultaneously search many different vendor's catalogs that are stored in a server on a company's intranet. The present Electronic Stockroom and Catalog (ESAC) allows vendors to download their catalogs to the system for storage, browsing and possible purchase by authorized employees. ESAC also allows vendors to update catalogs that may already be in the system. ESAC stores the catalogs and provides the employee with the ability to easily search all of the vendors catalogs for desired items. Thus, employees have access to a wide variety of items. The present system is an attempt at providing the company with one-stop-shopping for every item that every employee will ever need in the course of their employment. If the desired item is available on-site i.e., in one of the stockrooms of the company, then ESAC informs the employee and provides location information relating to the desired item.
