  • Patent number: 10313828
    Abstract: Systems and methods discussed herein are directed towards more efficient processing of user equipment (UE) data received in a native network telemetry data form. This data is stored and is selectively translated upon request to a different form such as longitude and latitude. The selective translation may be based on a request for a particular range of data that may fall into a geofence, which may be dynamically adjusted over time.

  • Publication number: 20190118920
    Abstract: A wave-powered water vehicle includes a surface float, a submerged swimmer, and a tether which connects the float and the swimmer, so that the swimmer moves up and down as a result of wave motion. The swimmer includes one or more fins which interact with the water as the swimmer moves up and down, and generate forces which propel the vehicle forward. The vehicle, which need not be manned, can carry communication and control equipment so that it can follow a course directed by signals sent to it, and so that it can record or transmit data from sensors on the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8959321
    Abstract: Media, methods, and computer systems are provided for performing a quick restart of applications in a virtual machine of the computer system. The virtual machine is configured with a critical object array that identifies the critical applications. In response to a quick restart request, the garbage collector operates in a quick restart mode to remove all objects for each application that is not in critical object array.
