  • Patent number: 9891907
    Abstract: Device component status detection and illustration apparatuses, methods, and systems determine and generate visualizations of updates timelines indicating device components associated with a remote connected device at different times. A device component status detection and illustration apparatus may include a memory and processor with instructions to: obtain device selection parameters, determine one or more remote connected devices that satisfy the device selection parameters, and identify a remote connected device selected from one or more remote connected devices by a user. The instructions may further be executed to generate visualizations of updates timelines associated with the remote connected device, including information regarding device components associated with the identified remote connected device as of selected update times. This allows the apparatus to present information regarding the status of a particular device at different points in time.

  • Patent number: 9747096
    Abstract: The Remote Embedded Device Update Platform Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“REDUP”) transforms telemetry inputs via REDUP components into remote embedded updates outputs. The REDUP may include a memory and processor with instructions to: obtain a remote embedded device connection request message from a remote embedded device and analyze the message to determine a version of embedded instructions on the remote embedded device. With that, the REDUP may determine if other remote embedded devices similar to the remote embedded device have provided request messages by searching a remote embedded device connection request message database. This allows the REDUP to determine if a potential issue requiring updates on the remote embedded device exists. With that, the REDUP may determine and provide an update for the remote embedded device.

  • Patent number: 7508863
    Abstract: In the method of processing signals, multi-path signals are received, channel estimates for the received multi-path signals are determined, and a combining operation is applied to the multi-path signals, the combining operation being a function of a correlation matrix of the received multi-path signals, a correlation matrix of estimates for channels of the received multi-path signals, a cross-correlation matrix of the channels and channel estimates for the received multi-path signals, and the channel estimates.
