  • Patent number: 11785131
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method of providing enhanced content to a PSAP or other service center whereby when a 911 call is to be initiated, prior to the call or text communication being sent, the software application on the device contacts the cloud-based dynamic page service. The cloud-based dynamic page service receives event information, dynamically creates a page for the event along with a page identifier, and sends the page identifier to the software application of the initiating device. Then, the software application on the device initiates a 911 communication and includes the page identifier with the communication. In some cases, the page identifier may be sent as a separate communication.

  • Patent number: 11410468
    Abstract: A taxi metering system includes an administrative component and a mobile meter app, respectively configured to run on a server and a mobile metering device. The mobile meter receives GPS data that is map-matched by a map-matching server and used, with other fare parameters to calculate a total fare. The mobile meter app calculates a fare amount in near real time and conveys information to the administrative component. The administrative component monitors and records fare parameters and corresponding fare attributes to generate a ride summary and receipt.

  • Publication number: 20220116935
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method of automatically generating an event-based request communication (“ERC”) and routing the ERC to a public safety answering point (“PSAP”) (or other call center) to service the ERC based on PSAP profiles that each specify capabilities of a given PSAP. A client device may be programmed to obtain the capabilities of a relevant PSAP, and generate and communicate an ERC based on the capabilities of the PSAP. The ERC may be generated in a format that the relevant PSAP is capable of processing. The format may include a voice call, a text message, an electronic mail message, a shortwave radio communication, and/or other type of broadband wireless or wireline communication.

  • Publication number: 20160183310
    Abstract: Various systems, methods, and computer program products for responding to service requests and facilitating communication between relevant parties are provided. The system may receive a request from a user, obtain a user location, identify a service provider such as an emergency response center based on the location, facilitate coordination of response efforts, and provide a page that is shared between various parties such as the user, contacts of the user, an operator, and a responder. The various parties may provide to the system inputs such as video to capture what is currently happening. The page may be updated with the inputs, include a status of the service request such as whether responders have been dispatched, and include a current location of the responders and other users. Using the page, various parties may obtain real-time situational awareness of an event that culminated in the service request and communicate with other users.

  • Patent number: 8965988
    Abstract: The invention relates providing an event-based connectivity platform that creates and communicates shared pages based on location and other information obtained from devices that automatically provide the location and other information. A system may include a page server that creates an event-centric shared page responsive to a single button press or other indication. Once created, the page server may invite other users to access the shared page. User devices that have access to the shared page, including the user device that cause the shared page to be created and/or other user devices, may automatically provide updates to the page server. The devices may automatically provide the updates at various times without intervention by the user. The automatically provided updates may include location information. Users may also provide other information such as image, audio, and text for updating the event-centric shared page.

  • Publication number: 20020118762
    Abstract: In general, a system and method for routing audio over a Digital Visual Interface (DVI) link is described herein. In one embodiment, the system comprises a a Digital Audio Interface (DAI) transmitter and a DAI receiver. Coupled to a fourth channel of the DVI link that transmits a pixel-rate clock signal, the DAI transmitter modulates the pixel-rate clock signal by input digital audio. The DAI transmitter sends the modulated clock signal to the DAI receiver. The DAI receiver recovers the digital audio from the modulated pixel-rate clock signal.

  • Patent number: 5838807
    Abstract: An improved analog hearing aid is provided which incorporates a current source transconductance amplifier as an input stage. The gain defining bias current of the input stage transconductance amplifier is adjusted upon the application of battery power to the hearing aid to define a low input signal gain, and is then reduced by two gain regulators to define a compression threshold and compression ratio, and to provide a maximum output ceiling. Also provided is a method of trimming the low signal gain of the hearing aid at the time battery power is applied.

  • Patent number: 5661483
    Abstract: An integrated circuit for a disk drive that includes a sucessive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a two-stage digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and may also include a servo demodulator. The circuit may be implemented in a basic or pure-digital CMOS chip because the ADC includes no precision analog elements such as resistors and capacitors. The first DAC stage operates on the most significant group of bits, and the second DAC stage operates on the least significant group of bits. The DAC includes a reference current source. The first DAC stage is a multiplying DAC that multiplies the reference current in response to its digital input, and the second stage is a dividing DAC that divides the reference current in response to its input. The DAC also includes a current summer, such as a resistor, that receives the output current of each stage and provides the voltage that corresponds to the sum of the currents to a comparator. The comparator output controls a successive-approximation register.

  • Patent number: 5345118
    Abstract: A precision resistor using MOS devices. The present invention utilizes an NMOS resistive element to simulate the resistor. A pair of PMOS source followers are implemented to control the value of the resistor and cancel the non-linearity due to the drain-source voltage V.sub.ds. A pair of NMOS source followers serve to eliminate non-linear distortions due to the "body effect" that can exist in the resistive element. The resistor circuit of the present invention provides higher precision, linearity and high value resistors in a smaller area than prior art MOS resistors.

  • Patent number: 5325051
    Abstract: An electronic watthour meter is digitally configurable to operate as several different types of watthour meters for metering electrical energy from a variety of different electric utility services. Automatic scaling of line input currents is provided to scale the voltage input to an analog to digital converter over selected ranges such that low level and high level input signals are measured in an optimum range. A digital signal processor is employed to calculate values for metered electrical energy and output pulses, each proportional to a quantum of energy flowing in the circuit being metered. The processor calculates the value of DC offset errors inherent in the various analog circuits of the meter and uses that value in the calculation of metered electrical energy to compensate for such offset errors. The meter employs automatic and manually initiated test functions for testing the operation of the processor and other critical circuits in the meter.
