  • Patent number: 11558771
    Abstract: Manners of scheduling downloads for a user equipment (UE). The UE is configured to establish a connection to a network and receive an indication of a user-initiated download, determining whether the download is to be performed now or at a subsequent time, when the download is to be performed at the subsequent time, determine a time window during which the download is to be initiated and initiate the download during the time window.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8145214
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a solution for improving scan time in a co-banded mobile communication device. The solution can maintain a set of records within a data store of a co-banded mobile communication device. The set of records can include two or more communication rasters that represent an overlap between frequency bands used by different access technologies supported by the mobile communication device. A frequency band for a first access technology can be scanned for communication rasters allocated for that access technology. For each occupied communication raster, a related record of the set of maintained records can be updated to indicate that the communication raster is occupied. A frequency band for a second access technology can then be scanned within a previously determined time threshold of the first scan. The second scanning attempt can skip those communication rasters indicated as occupied by the set of records.

  • Patent number: 6016973
    Abstract: A system for dispensing an alkaline liquid cleaner solution and an acidic liquid rinse solution via a rotating head on a carpet cleaning machine, wherein the flow of the liquid cleaner solution and the liquid rinse solution are metered such that the rinse solution neutralizes the alkaline cleaner solution and leaves the carpet chemically neutral and residue-free.
