Patent number: 7769387Abstract: A system and method are provided for using differentiated telephone numbers to determine whether to perform a vocoder bypass. In an exemplary embodiment, a mobile station may call a terminating node. An intermediate entity may search an identifier of the terminating node for a predetermined aspect. If the predetermined aspect is found, the terminating node may be a mobile station, and the intermediate entity may perform a vocoder bypass. If the predetermined aspect is not found, the terminating node may be a non-mobile station, and the intermediate entity may perform vocoding.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2005Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Spreint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Dae-Sik Oh, Deuk-Ho Ryu, Leo Ray Anderson

Patent number: 7251480Abstract: A method and system for sending a voice message in a wireless communication network. A mobile station may encode an audio speech signal into a voice mail message and send the voice mail message through a wireless network to a voice mail server. An entity of the wireless network may first receive the message and determine if an intended recipient is another mobile station. If so, the entity may simply forward to voice mail message on to the voice mail server. If not, the entity may transcode the voice mail message into another format and then send the formatted voice mail message to the voice mail server, which stores the voice mail message for later delivery to the intended recipient.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2003Date of Patent: July 31, 2007Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Dae-Sik Oh, Deuk-Ho Ryu, Leo Ray Anderson, Jr.

Patent number: 7213389Abstract: A mechanism for powering a combine header unit at infinitely variable speeds. A primary motor is coupled to a primary input shaft via a clutch, a variable-speed secondary motor is directly coupled to a secondary input shaft, and the header unit coupled to a header output shaft. A planetary gear-train couples the primary input shaft, the secondary input shaft, and the header output shaft to each other. A primary brake is coupled to the primary input shaft, and a secondary brake coupled to the secondary input shaft. A control circuit is employed to command the operation of the clutch, the secondary motor, the primary brake, and the secondary brake in response to operator commands.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2004Date of Patent: May 8, 2007Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Joseph Albert Teijido, Jeffrey Lee Wigand, Daniel Ray Anderson, Robert Wayne Hawkins, Werner Stettler, Jr., Helmut Weis, Bernd Kempf, Johann Hwang Pierce

Patent number: 7155226Abstract: A method for serving multiple mobile stations under a common mobile identification number (MIN). A service provider assigns the common MIN to multiple mobile stations and maintains a subscriber profile that associates the MIN with the electronic serial numbers (ESNs) of the mobile stations. However, the service provider allows the MIN to be associated with at most one mobile station that is arranged to respond to a MIN-based termination message. As a result, when the service provider seeks to terminate a call through signaling keyed to the MIN, only one of the mobile stations will respond (e.g., begin to ring). At the same time, all of the mobile stations having the common MIN can originate calls through signaling keyed to their MIN and ESN (since the MIN/ESN pair should uniquely identify the originating station).Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2001Date of Patent: December 26, 2006Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Dae-Sik Oh, Leo Ray Anderson, Jr.

Patent number: 7092722Abstract: A method and system for selecting a mobile station active set based, at least in part, on the geographic location of the mobile station. A base station or other entity monitors the mobile station's location. When the location changes, the base station refers to a predefined sector-coverage database to identify as the active set one or more sectors that each encompass the mobile station's location. If more than one sector encompasses the location, the base station may further select as the active set a subset of one or more sectors to which the mobile station is closest.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2001Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Dae-Sik Oh, Leo Ray Anderson, Jr.

Publication number: 20050080927Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing network addresses. A received network address from a current server is compared for use in identifying the data processing system with a prior network address from a previous server. A release data packet is created if the received network address is a new network address and the previous server is a different server than the current server in which the release data packet includes the prior network address. The release data packet is sent to the previous server in which the release data packet causes the previous server to release the prior network address for reuse.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2003Publication date: April 14, 2005Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ray Anderson, David Dai, Vasu Vallabhaneni, Patrick Vo
