Patent number: 9681481Abstract: Mobile management in a cellular network utilizes the multipath-transfer control protocol (MP-TCP). A mobile device establishes a first multipath-transfer control protocol (MP-TCP) subflow to a corresponding node using a first internet protocol (IP) address corresponding to the mobile device. At least a portion of the first IP address is uniquely associated with the first coverage area. The mobile device establishes a second MP-TCP subflow using a second IP address corresponding to the mobile device while the mobile device is in an overlapped coverage area including a first portion of the first coverage area and a second portion of a second coverage area. At least a portion of the second IP address is uniquely associated with the second coverage area. The mobile node turns off the first subflow when the mobile node determines it has left the first coverage area.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2014Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Cheng Liu, Zhi Cui, Liza Fung, Vinod Pandey, Paul E.

Patent number: 8328912Abstract: An air dryer having an internal orifice designed into an outlet end cap that eliminates the need for external valves or regulators to control the flow of air through the dryer. The internal orifice, which can be press-fit or threaded into the end cap, provides a consistent and stable outlet flow and dew point and eliminates the need for instruments to measure outlet flow and dew point. The orifice size can be easily changed for changing outlet flow and dew point. A protective tubular shroud is provided for shielding a membrane module of the dryer, and for routing sweep gas to a bottom vent.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2010Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Parker-Hannifin CorporationInventors: Douglas Moore, William D.

Magnetic sensor with a chip attached to a lead assembly within a cavity at the sensor's sensing face
Patent number: 5912556Abstract: A geartooth sensor is provided with a carrier shaped to form a cavity in which semiconductor chips can be disposed. The carrier partially encapsulates a permanent magnet and a lead assembly. Unencapsulated portions of the lead assembly are exposed within the cavity to permit semiconductor components to be attached to a portion of the lead assembly. A cover is attached to the carrier to seal the cavity and protect the magnetically sensitive components located therein. The carrier, with its associated lead assembly and permanent magnet, can then be attached to a printed circuit board and a support structure to form a geartooth sensor. A protective enclosure can be disposed over the sensitive components of the geartooth sensor.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1996Date of Patent: June 15, 1999Assignee: Honeywell Inc.Inventors: Lawrence E.
