Abstract: A managed access system is for mobile wireless devices (MWDs) in a facility, with the facility being geographically within a wireless communications network of a communications carrier. The system may include antennas arranged at the facility, radio equipment coupled to the antennas, a network interface device configured to provide communications with the communications carrier, and a management access controller.

Abstract: A managed access system for mobile wireless devices (MWDs) in a facility that is geographically within a wireless communications network of a communications carrier includes a plurality of antennas arranged at the facility, radio equipment coupled to the plurality of antennas, and a network interface device configured to provide communications with the communications carrier. A management access controller is configured to communicate with MWDs via the radio equipment, compare an identification of a given MWD to a list of authorized MWD's to determine whether the given MWD is unauthorized or authorized, and filter communications between an unauthorized MWD and the network interface device and pass communications between an authorized MWD and the network interface device.

Abstract: A managed access system for mobile wireless devices (MWDs) in a facility that is geographically within a wireless communications network includes a plurality of antennas at the facility. Radio equipment is coupled to the antennas. A management access controller cooperates with the radio equipment to communicate with a given MWD within the facility, block outside communications via the wireless communications network when the given MWD is an unauthorized MWD, and provide outside communications when the given MWD is an authorized MWD. The management access controller cooperates with at least one device to determine a change in the wireless communications network and implement a corresponding change in the radio equipment.

Abstract: A managed access system for mobile wireless devices (MWDs) in a facility that is geographically within a wireless communications network includes a plurality of antennas arranged around a periphery of the facility, radio equipment coupled to the plurality of antennas, and at least one MWD geolocation device for the wireless communications network. A management access controller is configured to cooperate with the at least one MWD geolocation device to determine that a given MWD is within the facility, compare an identification of the given MWD to a list of authorized MWD's to determine whether the given MWD is unauthorized or authorized, and coordinate with the wireless communications network to block outside communications when the given MWD is an unauthorized MWD and provide outside communications via the radio equipment and the wireless communications network when the given MWD is an authorized MWD.

Abstract: A universal light string lamp bypass device is comprised of a plug and a resistor. The plug is shaped and sized to releasably fit within the base of a lamp assembly. The plug encapsulates the resistor with the resistor leads extending from the bottom end of the plug. When the encapsulated resistor is inserted into a lamp base it can be electrically connected to the lamp socket terminals. The impedance of the resistor substantially matches the impedance of an operating lamp within a lamp socket of the light string. Most lamp bases have a standard configuration for receiving a lamp. This device fits within a lamp base after the lamp has been removed. A section of a light string may be darkened by replacing its lamps with the device. A typical use is for the darkening of a section of a light string connecting two decorated bushes.

Abstract: A light string lamp bypass device is comprised of a plug and a conducting member. The plug is shaped and sized to releasably fit within a lamp socket of the light string. The conducting member is attached to the plug. It is shaped, sized and positioned upon the plug such that the conducting member is electrically connected to the socket terminals, is positioned below the top surface of the plug and is positioned between the socket terminals when the plug is inserted into the lamp socket. The impedance of the conducting member substantially matches the impedance of an operating lamp within a lamp socket of the light string. A section of a light string may be darkened by replacing its lamps with the device. A typical use is for the darkening of a section of a light string connecting two decorated bushes.
