  • Publication number: 20210195838
    Abstract: A drop pan system for collecting a sample of crop material discharged by a harvester while harvesting crops. The drop pan is magnetically coupled to a support structure disposed on the harvester by at least one electro-permanent magnet having a default de-energized state and an energized state. In the default de-energized state, the at least one electro-permanent magnet is electrically isolated from an electric power source. In the energized state, the least one electro-permanent magnet is electrically coupled with the electric power source. As the harvester advances through the field harvesting the crop, the drop pan is released from the support structure by switching the electro-permanent magnet from the default de-energized state to the energized state such that the drop pan drops to the ground surface. The open top end of the drop pan on the ground surface captures a sample of the crop material discharged by the advancing harvester.

  • Publication number: 20060154665
    Abstract: The hybrid mobile terminal is engaged in an existing call through a serving one of a circuit switched or packet data wireless networks. The mobile terminal places a new call through the target one of the wireless networks, the new call having a predetermined called party identifier. In response to the called party identifier, the call is converted to a loop-back call directed to the mobile terminal through the serving wireless network, establishing a call path through the target wireless network. The mobile terminal accepts the loop-back call, and directs the existing call to connect to the call path through the target wireless network. The existing call through the original network is then dropped, effecting an inter-system handoff from the serving to the target wireless network.

  • Patent number: 6591099
    Abstract: Within a wireless telecommunications network, a method and system of transferring information from a Mobile Station (MS) 12 in the network 40 transparently to a Post Processing Subsystem (PPSS) 50 outside the network 40. The PPSS 50 requests information about the MS 12 by transmitting a request to the network 40 via an external node 42 coupling the PPSS 50 to the network 40. An element in the network 40 then receives the request from the PPSS 50 and identifies the type of external node 42 from which the request was received. Information is collected about the MS 12 that is responsive to the request. Finally, the information is transmitted in a network message format to the PPSS 50 through the identified external node from which the request was received.

  • Patent number: 6438355
    Abstract: A method and system enables optimal call routing in a satellite communications network when a satellite subscriber has, for example, call forwarding active. Many satellite networks re-register a satellite subscriber's (e.g., the A-subscriber's) subscription information to a satellite gateway that is most cost efficient when the satellite subscriber initiates an outgoing call. If the called party (e.g. the B-subscriber) is distant from the satellite subscriber's home country, the distant gateway to which the re-registration occurs is likely to be far from the gateway of his or her native country, which is often to where call forwarding is directed. When an incoming call from a C-subscriber is detected for the A-subscriber, the call is handled normally until call forwarding is detected in the distant gateway. Once call forwarding is detected, a satellite gateway through which the call will be completed (e.g.

  • Patent number: 6427072
    Abstract: A mobile telephone with an emergency call capability protector monitors a battery power supply circuit with an emergency call reserve power detector to determine when the power remaining in the battery power supply circuit has decreased beneath a pre-selected minimum emergency call reserve power level that is greater than the absolute minimum level detected by a monitor and battery depletion detector. A microprocessor operating in accordance with a program stored in an emergency call capability program memory selectively inhibits, subject to override, the making of non-emergency calls and terminates ongoing non-emergency calls when said power detector determines that the power supply circuit has gone beneath said pre-selected minimum emergency call reserve power level.

  • Patent number: 6353620
    Abstract: A system and method in a communications network for minimizing the number of attempts required to establish a communication between two nodes is disclosed. Each node maintains a database table composed of addresses of other nodes within the communications system. Associated with each nodal entry is a list of dialogue types that have been initiated with or terminated from the relevant node. Associated with each dialogue type entry is the most-advanced protocol version, such as the Mobile Application Part (MAP), that has been negotiated with the affiliated node for that dialogue type. When a first node wishes to initiate a dialogue with a second node, the first node checks the database table. The first node locates the second node in the table by address, locates the appropriate dialogue by type, and then determines the appropriate MAP version.

  • Patent number: 6349206
    Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus enables a subscriber to be warned via the mobile terminal (MT) when the MT has moved into an invalid area during a call. The network monitors the location/position of the MT during a call. When the MT enters a region (e.g., a cell) that is invalid because it is located within an invalid area, the network sends a message to the MT. The message may be, for example, a novel cause code in a Direct Transfer Application Part (DTAP) message that triggers a warning action by the MT when the network does not have access to the transmission reaching the MT. The message may alternatively be an announcement or tone sent directly to the MT when the network does have direct access to the transmission reaching the MT. The network also begins a timer. If the MT is returned to a valid area before the is timer expires, the call may be continued (and a message so indicating may optionally be sent to the MT from the network).

  • Patent number: 6345180
    Abstract: A mobile terminal with a reserve power system is provided herein, wherein if the mobile terminal has detected that the power level of the power supply connected to it has fallen below a predetermined emergency power reserve level it will restrict its activities related to the reception of transmissions, such as voice calls, and activities related to contacting the network during stand-by, in order to protect the capability to place and receive calls to/from a default or user-specified set of numbers (e.g., emergency numbers, number of spouse, number of parents etc.). The restriction on the reception of transmissions can be handled by the network, by the mobile terminal or both.

  • Patent number: 6295447
    Abstract: A method and system that enables a subscriber and/or operator to specify one or more conditions under which a given feature such as a supplementary service (SS) is to be executed. When a call event occurs, the relevant telecommunications network evaluates a logical expression that includes variables corresponding to the specified conditions. If (i) the specified conditions are such that the logical expression for the given feature is “TRUE” and (ii) the feature is “ON”, then the network executes the given feature and may further perform a specified task related to the executed feature. If (i) the logical expression is not evaluated to “TRUE” or (ii) the feature is not “ON”, then the network does not execute the given feature. The network preferably evaluates a logical expression at least for each feature that the subscriber has turned “ON”.

  • Patent number: 5764746
    Abstract: A first subscriber activates a hold call back subscriber feature in response to a second subscriber placing the first subscriber on call hold. After the activation, the first subscriber goes onhook. When the second subscriber later wishes to take the first subscriber off of call hold, a first end office serving the first subscriber recognizes the second subscriber's action and accordingly alerts the first subscriber back. Upon answering the ring back, a call connection is re-established between the first subscriber and the second subscriber. A connection-less signal is communicated between the first end office and a second end office serving the second subscriber to queue, monitor, and inform the second subscriber's action. Upon receiving a connection-less signal from the second office indicating that the second subscriber wishes to take the first subscriber off of call hold, the first end office originates another call setup request towards the second subscriber.
